Blue Bottle Coffee, Berkeley CA

Good cup of coffee. I believe they normally use oatmilk unless you ask for something else, but a good cup nonetheless.

The coffees and chocolates are very exquisite and unique. It's pretty expensive with all coffee drinks $5+ but it's good to have once in a while. The croissant is delicious as well, and the other pastries looked that way too.

Pro:
i really like their coffee and the location.con:
latte art is not too great + sometimes the steamed milk has too many bubbles
prices are too high compared to competition

Stopped in because I needed coffee on my delivery. The gentleman was very nice asked me what I liked and he gave me a sample of the slow cold brew and it was great. So I ordered a cup of that and a breakfast sandwich. A little pricy but it was worth it.

I bought a bag of coffee beans from target. Taste is smooth bold but not to strong. I used a coffee press and added alittle oat milk sprinkle of cinnamon its pretty good. If you can have a cup of coffee with out all the sugars and it taste good and not bitter.its good coffee. Now that I'm aware this is a local business I will come in and try it out.

Must-go if you enjoy drinking black coffee. Best coffee I have ever had. The “Three-Africas” cold blew has a flavor profile of berry, grape, and a tinge of lemon. I can can tell it was recently roasted, ground that morning, and stored in an airtight container to prevent oxidation.

Ignore the other reviews here that say the “coffee” is bad when they are ordering lattes that ruin the exotic, rare bean flavor with flavorings like sugars and creams (Yuck!). Good coffee is COFFEE: beans and water. They probably don’t know the difference between ground vs non-ground (can’t differentiate between oxidation) and watered down vs.strong tasting black coffee because all they ever taste is their artificial sweeteners, milk, and flavorings! Not sure what they were expecting at $6 a cup, perhaps that the cow was milked that hour for ‘freshness? ’? LOL!

Will definitely be ordering their Three Africas whole beans so I can grind and brew at home. 10/10.

I like the coffee, so plenty of stars for that. What I don’t like is they advertise a 6: 30 opening time and often don’t open at that time, which means I often waste my trip. And lately the prices are outrageous. You actually get charged more to drink your coffee in a proper cup, which is I believe completely unique among local cafes.

This cafe is well placed in West Berkeley, away from the frenetic pace of University, with plenty of outdoor seating and indoor seating to match. The floor to ceiling glass walls create a nice ambience and the bar-style service and pickup ordering process are quick and efficient. Only issue is sometimes the quality of the drink is lacking compared to other cafes in the area.

I love Blue Bottle. Their coffee. This review is based on a short interaction I had with a barista. Unnecessarily rude. Check your attitude before serving somebody coffee.

It's open! Awesome location, you can seat and talk as long as like. I'd recommend iced coffee. I went along with my very first friend in Berkeley.

All bevrages we had (a drip coffee, a chocolate milk and a green tea with milk) were well prepared. The corner shop has inside and outside seating areas and great window fronts. A good place to have a coffee in downtown Berkeley.
