Artís Coffee

They have the best croissants! Great service, cool coffee mugs and free coffee refills. We also enjoyed browsing through their cookbook selection and other food related accessories.
Close to Amtrak train station in Berkeley.

Walk through here and you can see the coffee freshly roasting. The place is quite open to sit around, but the seating could be more comfortable inside. The coffee is good and the teas are nice. For teas, I like the jasmine or the London fog.

Their espresso is perfect, they give you sparkling water with espresso shots and the baristas are very nice! It's probably my favorite local place to get coffee. Make sure to tip these people a bunch because they deserve it for being so good.

This is some of the best black coffee in Berkeley (and I'm a complete snob about it). They make one of the better daily drips around (comparable to many pour overs), and of course offer pour overs of a large selection of single-origin beans. The flavor profiles are on the medium-light side, but they do have a couple beans to tickle the tastebuds of you dark roast nuts. Worth a try! I give 4 stars only because I like a couple other spots better: Babette and Blue Bottle, for example.

Doesn't really taste all that different from any other coffee. Placebo effect.

Pros: Absolutely gorgeous interior. Fresh coffee beans. Good prices on regular coffee. Everything else is overpriced.
Cons: Slightly pretentious.

Very expensive, a lot of nearby coffee places of better quality coffee as well. Nice space inside but have been let down with a drop in coffee quality and rise of price. Got an espresso and I think mostly out of carelessness it was served in a paper cup instead of a ceramic one for drinking in

My iced honey lavender latte was delicious! Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, and good variety of quality coffee beans for sale.

Amazing coffee, great ambiance, friendly staff. I just wish they'd offer more seating! I love coming to Artis to study on weekday mornings, but they should have twice as many tables! Space doesn't seem to be an issue...I hope they'll improve this soon.

Never a problem with the coffee here, including awesome service and a welcoming cafe environment. However, I took issue today with your wifi connectivity which made me lost about 45 minutes of much needed studying / work. Nice staff recommended two solutions which didn't solve the problem but his efforts were appreciated, but I ultimately had to leave. Peet's Coffee down the block was full so I walked to Catahoula Cafe about a 1/4 mile away which had both excellent Wifi and ample workspace.

Really hoped for more from a place that micro roasts for each customer. Not impressed. Roast your own beans if you want the bragging rights. Or walk across the street to Peet's and drink their superior coffee.
