Cafenated Coffee Company
2085 Vine St, Berkeley, CA
Crema's Take
“Cafenated Coffee Company is a beloved Berkeley gathering spot where espresso excellence meets lush garden vibes, complete with a thoughtfully designed back patio that's especially magical during their live music nights. Beyond their reliably strong Americanos and carefully crafted pour overs, they've earned local devotion for their full breakfast menu—think avocado toast Benedict alongside creative options like spicy chicken and waffles—making it equally suited for a quick caffeine fix or a lingering morning with friends. With ample indoor and outdoor seating, reliable wifi, and plenty of plants to admire, it's the kind of place where you'll see people working on laptops, chatting over lattes, and genuinely savoring their time there.”

One of my favorite local coffee shops! I love their back garden/patio especially when they have live music playing. Love the avocado toast Benedict and yummy lattes. The plants are lovely and the heat lamps are a nice touch to help with keeping the patio warm on cold days.
This place has the vibes! Indoor and outdoor seating, it gets busy and it gets slow. Places to plug in your laptop and work. They have free WiFi. They have a great, strong Americano as well. The breakfast board was delicious! I will be back!
The interior has a nice vibe, and there’s ample outdoor space for chatting or studying. The prices recently increased again, and this small vanilla latte cost $7.50 which I found to be way too high. Though it’s a nice place, I don’t think the prices are worth it.
This is my new favorite place in all of Berkeley. It’s Christmas Day and I’m enjoying a coffee in the gardens so immensely. It is truly artistically carefully designed and cared for. Everything is so beautiful I feel blissful simply being here.
Nice little spot with a back patio. I went on a Sunday afternoon so it was pretty busy but we were able to find a spot to sit down inside. I ordered a matcha and the spicy chicken and waffles. I was prepared for the chicken to be a bit spicier. Overall, the food had good flavor and I had a lovely time here.
