Jaffa Coffee Roasters
1701 University Ave, Berkeley, CA
Crema's Take
“Tucked on University Ave, this Berkeley roastery combines expertly crafted espresso with genuinely creative seasonal drinks that the baristas will happily adjust to your preference. The space itself is a draw—bright, open, and thoughtfully designed with board games and a retail shelf, making it equally perfect for a solo coffee moment or lingering with friends. What really sets them apart is the consistency and care in every cup, paired with owners who clearly love what they do and know their coffee inside and out.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings.
