Royal Ground Coffee
2409 Shattuck Ave., Berkeley, CA
Crema's Take
“This Berkeley neighborhood gem pairs stellar breakfast sandwiches—think loaded Denver bagels and veggie omelette combos—with a genuinely cozy, lived-in atmosphere that keeps regulars coming back daily. The spare, sun-filled space with comfortable worn chairs and big windows is perfect for lingering over a cafe au lait or green tea frappe, whether you're catching up with friends or settling in for a work session. It's the kind of place where the owners know your name and the service stays consistent, making you feel like you've found your corner spot.”
What to expect
