Generally wonderful poached eggs with toast, tasty polenta, nice vibe. Perfect breakfast portions.

You will wait along time for your food, and the wait will be worth it. The salmon platter is excellent!

In Thursday nights, this place is replaced by a pop up restaurant. Friday and Saturday nights are another Jamaican pop up restaurant.

Generally good espresso drinks--but somewhat erratic quality. Best I've found in Berkeley so far, but not Blue Bottle or Ritual quality day-to-day...

Sometimes the espresso is amazing, but it's hit and miss. The food is great - delicious and light.

A chill environment, good music, and wholesome, healthy food.

Really good breakfast and lunch options, good coffee, and nice vibe.

Great spicy mayan chocolate, but watch out for that kid stealing your seat( a bit competitive on seats)

We enjoyed our little table outside. Polenta and Black Bean Soup were excellent!

Excellent barista. Not sure about the roast, but certainly much nicer than the crap next door.

Get the savory polenta and add a poached egg on top!

I've never had a coffee shop get my order wrong more often than Guerilla. And it's not even a hard order... 8 oz Americano.

You must have the home made sangria and the jerk chicken is outstanding !
Jess KilzJune 13, 2012
They have almond and soy milk. Vegan options. Just go early, they close around 430.

Cappuccino with Blue Bottle's Hayes Valley Espresso. Fantastic!

Serving Blue Bottle but the real treat is the breakfast. Avoid the Cubano--it will kill you with fattening pleasure.

The Cook and Her Farmer pop up!
