Comment: I go here every morning with the other old men. This is the second-earliest-opening cafe in Berkeley, at 6am. I like that its a real cafe where people sit, talk, read, study, etc. Its not one of those other coffee shops where youre expected to overpay then immediately leave.

Comment: Beware: I am very confident this this place adds caffeine to their beans / drinks. I have never drank coffee that had such extreme caffeine content. One microscopic sip of espresso will have you feeling like you drank 2 or 3 cups at once. Avoid!

Comment: I asked if they have decaf coffee or not, for I cant drink caffeine because of my health issues. they said they have the decaf, but after I drank a quarter of the cup my heart rate spiked up. I realized that is not decaf, and their mistake in creating my coffee almost lead to severe consequenced

Comment: Theoretically a nice place to hang out and study, but the owner (?) that decides to close the cafe early (at 6 instead of 9 pm) throws you out, 10min after you ordered your coffee. But not by telling you that he will close - no. He turns on club-like music at a deafening volume.Thats just really not a way of treating paying customers!

Hes usually making coffees and not talking to customers, but whenever he takes your order oh boy thats the grumpiest experience youll get in all of the Bay area and you probably wont get what you ordered either.

It is not easy to find a place where you can actually plug in your laptop and where the environment is so cool and chill. Also, Berkley Espresso is locally owned and I love it!

Comment: Lots of places to plug in your phones or laptops and get some charge. Many outlets are worn though and require your plug to be in jussst right, so be careful. They also have great food, drinks, and desserts. I am a fan of their tuna melt and also the lemon bars! Yum.

Comment: This place initially seemed to have everything I was looking for in a coffee shop. It was nicely lit, classical music playing(conducive to studying), and wonderful coffee. However, my ideal study coffee shop image was quickly removed on my second visit. The hours posted are 6am-11pm everyday for open operating hours. A time frame where things should remain the same. If that were the case, this review wouldnt be getting one star. So... the person that was working that day, whom said he was the owner, at 9:45pm started slowly changing the tempo of the music from classical to upbeat cumbia. He then raised the volume to a ridiculously High level and started turning off the lights in sections were people were still sitting. At that point, they resorted to using their phones to be able to see the page they were still reading. Someone wanted to use the restroom, to which he said(the owner), its already been cleaned, and kept on with his closing duties. Initially acting as if he didnt hear us. When I inquired about the hours, he said, I get to decide when we close. At this point(10:15pm) the lights were completely off and the music was blasting at a Very high volume. There were at least a dozen people still in there sitting amongst themselves trying to study or in mid conversation. This man, and his inconsiderate actions led me to write this review.

Comment: Not a great coffee shop, especially for working. Barista let me come in, get settled, and just about start working, then asked that I buy something right away. I had just come in from eating, so wasnt ready to buy anything yet, so had to leave...doesnt make all that much sense.

Comment: Love this local coffee shop! Bartenders are friendly and know your order if you come fairy often. They play nice, non-distracting music (on the classical side), have lots of seating. Their coffee is good, better than most places (but not excellent). Prices are fair. Ideal place for studying and grabbing morning coffee.

Comment: Nice casual coffee shop, wasnt sure what to expect going in while wandering around. Saw the completely manual espresso machine and was instantly excited. Its not the fanciest place but they served me one of the best well rounded lattes. A lot of places are super modern and focus on light roasted coffee, I liked that the espresso wasnt overly bright.If, like me, youre luckily lost in Berkeley and need a good non pretentious coffee this place shouldnt disappoint.

Comment: My wife and I have been coming to Berkeley Espresso for over twenty years; every Saturday for the first ten – and less frequently since, due to travel out of town. That travel has taken us to capitals in Europe and South America, as well as to the Big Apple – all supposed bastions of great coffee. We have sampled cafes in all those cities and we always end up longing for the cappuccino at Berkeley Espresso. I cannot speak about their other coffees, but the Mexican brothers who have been barristas there for the whole twenty years (top that, Starbucks!), and recognize us with a smile even after long absences, make a cap that is strong but not bitter, and wet without becoming a latte: a bracing morning nectar. If out-of-town friends want to meet for coffee, I always set the rendezvous for Berkeley Espresso.

Comment: Nice staff, inexpensive lunch (if you get the salad/sandwich combo for $5-something), and they dont hassle you if you want to sit there and work on their free wifi forever, though sometimes you have to ask them to restart it (but theyre always nice about it).My go-to place for a late night working away at a local cafe! :)Minus 1 star because if you sit in the back by the restroom... well, just dont sit there if you can avoid it!

Comment: This coffee shop gets soooo crowded. If it wasnt for that, it would def get 5 stars. Theres outlets everywhere so you can plug your laptop in. Free WIFI which is why its so popular. The other people who go there are pretty courteous too. One guy switched outlets so I could plug my laptop in.
