Souvenir Coffee Co.
2701 College Ave, Berkeley, CA
Crema's Take
“Tucked into Berkeley's Elmwood neighborhood, this espresso-focused café has carved out a devoted following with creative seasonal drinks like their beloved honey lavender latte and playful house syrups that feel more inventive than your typical coffee shop. The bright, spacious interior with tall ceilings makes it an ideal spot for folks who want genuinely good coffee without sacrificing a productive work session, and their pastries and light bites pair perfectly with lingering over a cup. Baristas here actually care, and regulars keep coming back for the combination of specialty drinks, welcoming energy, and that rare Berkeley sweet spot where the coffee is excellent and you won't feel rushed out the door.”

Quaint coffee shop. Delicious caffe latte and asiago bagel with whipped cream cheese.
Cool little cafe on College and Derby. I liked what I have and will surely come back to try others.
Cute and cozy shop in Elmwood :) One of my go-tos for studying in the area. I love their fun syrups and seasonal drinks. A couple things to note are that it feels cramped at times and some tables are very sticky. It’s hard to sit down on weekends and on days close to midterms/finals on campus. Pricing is reasonable.
literally the only place in berkeley where there's good coffee AND i can get work done. honey lavender latte, i owe you my life. so clean and beautiful. baristas are lovely. i have a crazy sweet tooth so sometimes i ask for extra syrup and they're always so nice
Souvenir coffee company is in a good location. They’re just getting started over there, “soft opening”. The coffee shop is very spacious, tall ceiling and big windows. There isn’t much in the way of decor or atmosphere, but it’s kind of nice that way. The coffee is really good. When the barista makes my latte I can actually smell the aroma of the beans. That’s fresh!
