Crema's Take

Tucked inside the Berkeley Art Museum, Kopi Bar and Bakery is a hidden gem that draws locals for its inventive signature drinks, particularly the beloved avocado kopi that blends creamy fruit with espresso in an unexpectedly delicious way. The space itself feels like a deliberate escape—lovely and unhurried, perfect for lingering over pastries and coffee, though quality can be inconsistent and some specialty ingredients (like their coconut milk options) might need refinement. It's the kind of place that rewards discovery and rewards regulars who know what to order, with a chef-driven approach that keeps things creative and distinctly unconventional.

What to expect

Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu.

I considered gatekeeping this place because it feels like a local hidden gem in Walnut Creek. I decided to visit after hearing about their famous avocado kopi coffee and wanted to give it a try. It was amazing! The mellow and neutral flavors from the avocado paired perfectly…

We came in as they were closing shop so we couldn't taste any of the pastries. We could order coffee though, the Kopi Avocado was delicious and my husband ordered a Coconut Cappuccino is on the sweetish side. It's like drinking 'Malagkit' - Filipinos will know what I'm talking…
