Mind Coffee
1816 Euclid Ave, Berkeley, CA
Crema's Take
“Mind Coffee is a beloved Berkeley community spot where owner Viviana has created an inviting space that shines equally for espresso devotion and creative seasonal drinks—their rotating specials like the S'mores by the Fire Latte and Matcha Einspänner are standouts, though fair warning that the cozy, intimate seating fills up quickly. The care here is evident in every pour, from traditional cortados with surprising flavor complexity to ceremonial matcha preparations, all served with genuine warmth in a dog-friendly setting that feels less like a caffeine transaction and more like visiting a friend who happens to make exceptional drinks.”

Ambiance, flavor, quality of service impeccable 👌💕 will be coming back often 🫶 Viviana (owner) is so friendly and has a beautiful vision for this community cafe. Also, Milo the new mascot puppy is just too cute! 10/10 recommend
Not impressed with the matcha latte here (have had it both iced and hot, with oat milk) but the space is cute
Really cute cafe on the other side of campus! The matcha einspanner is the highlight here but they have rotating seasonal drinks. Solid! But the cream on top is not the crema you imagine, it’s more of a really dense/stiff whipped cream (almost frosting like). I think having a less whipped crema would’ve better mixed with the latte. I tried the seasonal early grey matcha and it was nice, the earl grey tea didn’t overpower the matcha at all. Because it’s so small, it’s always packed. Came on a Saturday morning and all the tables were already full with students studying.
The shop has great coffee. From their seasonal drinks to their traditional coffee. We got their S’mores by the fire latte and a light roast cortado with passion fruit notes. Both were amazing. Additionally, the drinks are thoughtful and baristas are knowledgeable and nice.
The matcha drinks here are amazing! Just a heads up, though—the seating is pretty limited since the café is quite small. My orders were Ceremonial Iced Matcha, Matcha Mindspänner, and Okonomiyaki Danish(Bake Sum Japanese pancake dish in a danish form ; it contained fish)
