Loved this coffee shop! It was one of our best finds in Berkeley! The service was quick and coffee tasted excellent. There's limited seating indoor but there's a huge park with benches and tables outside. You can collect your coffee at the counter and stay for as long as you'd like. Their pizette is a must try!

The cutest cafe / coffee shop at the edge of strawberry creek park. The vibes here are amazing. Great place to bring a book and read for the afternoon on a nice day. There is an indoor communal table and some counter seating but indoors seating is limited. The baristas were super friendly and happy to give a recommendation on what to order. Breakfast options: quiche (very good), cheddar scallion scone, mini vegan donuts and full size donuts, and other Morning pastries baked in-house. Drip coffee was fresh, not too acidic. They do chef pop-ups Friday-Sunday, and will definitely be back to try those. Would give this place SIX stars if I could.

Thoughtfully designed Berkeley cafe, with a rustic Northern European feel. Wood finishes, brick exterior, high ceilings, dried flowers and house plants. A treat to read or work from, with a park immediately adjacent if in need of a break. Coffee, top-notch.

Love the hidden cafe at strawberry creek park 💖✨ definitely a gem and I really enjoyed my magic purple square paired with the chai latte, what a beautiful morning spot

This café is right across from a small park, which gives it a really nice vibe. We usually go for the tea and coffee—not so much for the cakes or pastries, which are just okay. The menu is small, the drinks are good, and the view of the park makes it a great spot, especially on sunny days. It does get pretty crowded.

I live just a five minute walk from this eclectic coffee shop and park that has become like a second home. It seriously feels like a magical little pocket of Middle-earth, straight out of The Lord of the Rings. If you’re visiting, it’s an absolute must-see. I’m convinced it’s one of the most diverse coffee shops in the country, and it’s definitely one of the best places in Berkeley to strike up a conversation that somehow turns into hours of deep, philosophical discussion. It’s also the perfect place to either get work done, or just relax, unwind, and meditate under the trees. I’ve had some of my most unexpected, soul-expanding conversations here, often with strangers who feel instantly familiar. It’s hands down one of the most alive and welcoming spots I’ve ever known.

☕️ 🍵 🌳 Charming small cafe with delicious drinks. The coffee is good and the turmeric latte is a great no caffeine option. Inside is small and usually packed. There is seating outdoors as well as a huge grassy field. Especially on a good weather day, it’s a ‘sticks place to be. It’s the perfect place to relax or meet a friend for coffee. Parking can be challenging but there’s usually a spot down the road or around the corner (both paid and non-paid).

Wow! As a vegan with a non vegan coffee connoisseur, we both left fully satisfied. So peaceful, can sit down and have a coffee. I can’t believe all the pastry options they had for vegans and you can even go to the bakery next door as well
