Coffee Conscious
1312 Gilman St, Berkeley, CA
Crema's Take
“This Berkeley gem nails the espresso-forward craft with a genuinely welcoming vibe, where baristas clearly know their stuff and the coffee tastes rich and balanced without any burnt edges. Beyond stellar lattes and cappuccinos, they're creative enough to nail unexpected hits like lavender chai while generously offering free alternative milks—a rare perk that shows they're thinking about access. The cozy, slow-paced atmosphere makes it feel less like a caffeine pit stop and more like the kind of place you'd linger with a friend.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. Slow-sit spot.

Americano and matcha are delicious! I love this cozy cafe!
Their latte is very rich in taste. This place is a must try. Also, They're very kind to offer free of cost oat/ coconut milk option which is not anywhere!
