The Jazzcaffè
2040 Addison St, Berkeley, CA
Crema's Take
“Tucked into Berkeley, this espresso-focused café captures a moody, artfully designed space complete with velvet rope curtains and a striking orange arch that draws you into something special. The baristas here take real care with their craft—pulling smooth, rich shots and pouring some genuinely excellent lattes—while fostering a genuinely welcoming atmosphere where regulars linger over laptops and conversation feels natural rather than rushed. Just check their hours before you go, as consistency with posting them seems to be a work in progress.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.
