Mezzo
2442 Telegraph Ave, Berkeley, CA
Crema's Take
“Mezzo is a beloved Berkeley spot that doubles as both a quick coffee grab and a leisurely meeting place, where generous portions of fresh salads, sandwiches, and house-made soups keep regulars coming back. The cafe shines with its quality ingredients and thoughtful bread selections—the BLTA and sausage lentil soup are standouts—though expect a bit of a wait during busy hours and tight parking in the neighborhood. It's the kind of place where you can linger over your cappuccino and a meal without feeling rushed, making it equally perfect for a solo work session or catching up with friends.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Huge serving size for the salads. Delicious! Only downside is the wait standing in line. Parking can also be a challenge. I also had the Sausage Lentil Soup and found it had more heat than I expected. It was flavorful, just not what I wanted.
MEZZO!! LET'S GO!! What a delicious delicious experience here. I came in when it looked a little slow, and I honestly had no clue what to get. I decided to do the BLTA on some kind of whole grain bread with the works, pickled jalapeños added, extra pickles ots, and the chipotle…
I am not sure what happened on this day. The person making my salad rubbed her nose all over her hands did not proceed to wash her hands, and then put her gloves on and started to serve me. I asked for a half-and-half vegetarian with no sprouts. She made me completely the wrong…
Excellent healthy, delicious sandwiches and salads. The portions are generous and the ingredients are great. Definitely opt in for sprouts and check out the different bread options, they’re all great. Nice outdoor sunny seating in rear patio
Massive portion sizes and fresh sandwiches and salads. I got the combo w the half sub and soup. The sausage and lentil soup was okay, but the BLTA was fantastic. You can tell that the ingredients are pretty fresh. The back patio also has pretty nice seating.
