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.”

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!
Looking at the reviews I thought I will love this place but was meh! My kid had a cake donut and I had a chocolate yeasted one which was quite chewy and not pleasant in texture. I had a flat white which was soooo dark and intense , almost burnt flavor to it unlike any other places I had it at. Not to mention ruin the corner near the sugar is so dusty and filthy.
I love this place! The coffee Is perfection. There’s a lavender chai that is to die for. The cappuccinos terrific. The espresso is strong but not burnt tasting. I personally love my latte with cream, but they also have a few different vegan dairy options as well. Everyone there is so accommodating. I also enjoy the background music. Their playlist is always on point. Great little moody vibe. And the donuts are fresh from the donut farm -all vegan with so many different ones to choose from. The Westbrae neighborhood is a jem 🤎☕️
I recently visited Coffee Conscious and had such a great time! The coffee was absolutely delicious – rich, smooth, and bursting with flavor. The baristas were super friendly and really knew their stuff, making sure every cup was perfect. The cozy atmosphere and stylish decor made it the ideal spot to relax and enjoy my drink. I highly recommend this place to all coffee lovers out there!
