Café Etoile
1930 Martin Luther King Jr Way, Albany, CA
Crema's Take
“Café Etoile draws people back for thoughtfully crafted drinks like their standout lavender latte and creative breakfast dishes such as chicken and croffl with spicy syrup, all served in a calm, welcoming space that's equally suited for lingering over work or meeting a friend. The kitchen takes care with simple ingredients—their salmon avocado toast is a testament to quality over complexity—and the relaxed atmosphere makes it easy to lose track of time, whether you're there for an hour or the whole afternoon.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu.
