In Berkeley, coffee shops cluster around downtown offices, college campuses and the main commercial streets of residential neighborhoods, and the independents usually close by mid-afternoon while chains stay open into the evening. Across California, drive-thru coffee stands and kiosks fill the gap in suburbs and along highways, and roasters often sell bags and brewing gear at the counter. Check the listing for hours, whether the cafe takes mobile orders, and its Google rating and recent reviews; parking is easiest at suburban locations, while downtown shops rely on street meters or nearby garages. Loyalty programs are common and worth joining if you are a regular.

Berkeley is in California, on the West Coast, where the climate ranges from foggy coast to hot inland valleys, wildfire season can affect air quality in late summer, and traffic is the main thing to plan around. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Berkeley follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

Get the salted cream coffee - very good. The ambiance here is amazing and beautifully decorated. They sell roasted beans for different styles of coffee (cold brew, espresso, phin) as well which is a nice touch. Iβll have to come back for their beautiful glass phins.

gara is such a beautiful coffee shop with the most wonderful drinks. i think out of all the matchas ive had in the bay, garaβs balances the authentic taste (the bitterness) well with a more modern latte. the pastries are also to die for and iβd definitely recommend stopping by earlier in the day before they run out. the shop itself also has a really nice vibe and thereβs a place for everyone whether it be a little kiddy table with games in the back or for college students looking for a place to work/study.

Such a beautifully curated space, and in my humble opinion: BEST matcha in town (get the Twice matcha). That sweet matcha cold foam is 10/10. Also brought home a bag of their espresso roast beans and have been really enjoying that at home π And lastly, the broken rice bowl for breakfast is delicious.
