Crema's Take
“Romeo's thrives on genuine hospitality and a study-hall vibe near Berkeley campus—regulars consistently praise the welcoming staff and spacious, laptop-friendly setup with good outlets. That said, the 3.9 rating reflects real inconsistency: execution on drinks and food varies noticeably, and you'll find plenty of reviews mentioning mediocre or forgettable orders alongside the enthusiastic ones. If you're prioritizing a reliable, high-quality coffee experience, you're better served elsewhere; if you want a comfortable place to camp out with decent-enough drinks and consistently kind service, it delivers that.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Wifi.
