Yali’s Qualcomm Café
2594 Hearst Ave, Berkeley, CA
Crema's Take
“Kiklo Cafe is a spacious Berkeley study spot where you'll find genuinely strong, unapologetically bitter espresso drinks and surprisingly excellent bagels that keep regulars coming back. The galaxy latte is their signature draw, but what really sets the place apart is the generous seating, abundant outlets, and warm staff like Angie who make the experience feel genuinely welcoming—making it just as much about the community vibe as the coffee itself.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, laptop-friendly. Pastries and light food on the menu.

It’s good but they didn’t give me my bagel in a bag and they gave me a small melted cheese on my bagel, do it right or I’ll just make it at home. I’m not going to suck up to you more just to get a “perfect” sandwich. Basically don’t out people just because you don’t like them…
Food is decent but overpriced for such a small size. I was originally going to get a quiche until I saw it in the display, and it was one of those small handheld quiches (think quiche made in a muffin tin). I decided to get avocado toast instead. The description for the…
