as the semester rolls on, it becomes harder to get a seat here...try to be social and ask to share someone else's table...i guarantee they will leave and you'll have a whole table to yourself! :)

Love them brownies they have. Cool place for a quick bite , salads are good too. But lines before class starts can get ridiculously long. Get your coffee before Berkeley time! (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Wear a warm coat and enjoy the outdoor seating even in winter -- it's quieter than indoors and quite beautiful.

Their soup selection changes daily and it comes with two pieces of bread . Their asparagus cream soup I had was really good!

Bring cash or your cal1 card! Good place to study if you can get a seat, especially since it's open until 2am most nights.

Benjamin Ortiz

Great place to study as a student, mild chatter to focus you.
