Souvenir Coffee
1114 Solano Ave, Albany, CA
Crema's Take
“This Albany spot hits the sweet spot for anyone seeking solid espresso and a genuinely welcoming vibe—regulars rave about spending whole afternoons here with reliable WiFi and baristas who actually seem happy to chat. The industrial-modern setup comes alive with local art on the walls and a curated selection of books and games scattered about, making it feel less like a caffeine pit stop and more like a creative hangout where your latte arrives from someone who knows their craft.”

Really enjoy spending an afternoon here, the coffee is great and the atmosphere is perfect for getting some work done. Cool local art on display. Baristas are super nice! Their WiFi works well, however if it gets too crowded sometimes you can’t sign on. Has a few indoor tables and chairs and a few patio tables as well.
I was sad because the Souvenir I usually go to on College is really enjoyable but this was disappointing. The person behind the counter was nice enough, but the tables were dirty and the air in the cafe was warmer than my latte. I had planned to hang out and do some work but decided to go down the block. I wrote this in the hopes they can make it better and I can come back!
Surprisingly busy considering the quality. Latte OK but not hot. Scone dry and stale. Total $10.50. Toilet filthy. Service surly. Nice little selection of books and games but the one I chose lacked its dice. Not sure why this place is popular.
I came in for the first time this evening by chance. I happened to be walking on Solano and stumbled upon this cute little shop. The barista was very warm, taking her time to answer my questions and made a great recommendation! I got the sage latte and enjoyed it. Very small place, most of the people there seemed to be doing work but it was the middle of the afternoon I guess. Outdoor seating as well.
Continuing my visit of different coffee shops throughout the Bay Area. Cute small modern coffee shop! Prices are reasonable and great tasting espresso and coffee. Very friendly staff wearing mask and hand sanitizer available for usage
