Comment: Very cute hole in the wall for coffee and getting some work done. Be warned, its often full of students during the school year, but had a lot more space during the summer.

Comment: The best coffee I’ve ever had in a coffee shop! The barista patiently and meticulously prepared the light roast ‘Magic of Arashiyama’ using a V60. The perfect cup! The chocolate croissant was warmed up nicely as well.

Comment: Their matcha latte is extremely sweet. I ended up just throwing it away. If youre into sweet milk teas, then you might like it. Not sure about the coffee.

Comment: This place had a great vibe. The gentleman that helped us was GREAT! The place coffee shop was starting to get busy. We were so entertained by watching how he was calm during this rush. He knew whos drink went to who. He wasnt rushing around like other coffee shop do with a staff of 8-10 people. We have been to many coffee shops and this one by far deserves a 10. The place was very clean. Thank you for your wonderful service. I wish you werent so far away from us. Yes, the coffee was great!

Comment: I just really didn’t like the taste of the coffee I had here. It was a pour over, made to order, but it had a dusty powdery texture like a bit of fine grounds got through into the drink, it wasn’t very hot even when I had the very first sip, and the flavor was just off and a bit gross.I tipped and said thank you, then walked out, had a few sips and threw it out. Went to go get a better cup of coffee from somewhere else immediately after. Too bad

Comment: This place has a great ambiance and really nice vibe. Its usually crowded as theres many students here but you do get seats in a while. The service is really nice even though some staff is new. Their almond danish is good but choco chip cookie is okayish. Very crispy danish! They chaga chino latte (mushroom based) is good, nothing out of the world but good coffee

Comment: Its a fine independent coffee shop. The brick interior, piano and assorted knickknacks give it a unique look. They offer pour over coffees although I prefer espresso. The name is an answer to Do you like coffee? ... So do I

Comment: Note: their card machine is acting up, unsure when that will be resolved but cash is faster to order!!Cute, funky space, music is not crazy loud which I LOVE! Coffee is good from what Ive had (large Americano) but there are so many interesting fun options! Red ginseng latte, strawberry matcha iced latte, and red velvet latte to name a few! Im excited with their spread.Also the ice creams look delicious and I look forward to trying them! Pastries could definitely use some work though, especially considering the pastry game thats been going on in these Bay Area cafe with Third Culture and other fantastic bakeries. Very average/subpar chocolate croissant, but honestly Im here more for the coffee and study environment, so I stand by my 5 stars.Service is great. Aside from the slow card reader, the ladies running this place are very polite, sweet, and friendly.Absolutely love it here.고맙습니다!다음에 다시 올게요 ♡♡

Comment: While I didn’t get anything there, the service was incredible: it was my friend’s birthday, and she lives in Berkeley so I wanted to call a coffeeshop and oddly request if I could prepay for a birthday treat over the phone. I called in, and Janice was incredibly sweet and helped me out with the birthday plan!

Comment: Dont be in a hurry when youre going for coffee at SoDoI. They grind and hand-brew each cup to perfection. Perfection takes time :) This is coffee the way its meant to be. Warm, rich and delicious. The atmosphere is Bohemian Coffeehouse. Enjoy!
