CoRo Coffee Room

Really good coffee and pastries! I really appreciated them heating up pastries for dining in. As any croissant enthusiast knows, a little heat makes all the difference!

So many different beans for sale. I think these are all their coffee members who roast at their facility? Very interesting business.

Street parking only but pretty easy to find a spot

Excellent hot chocolate. The employee came out to my table to ask what type of milk I wanted. I was able to get oat milk (no lactose) which I was glad they did. The coffee my had was very flavorful. But the sticky bun! Man that sticky bun was good. If I'm ever in the area again it will be a must stop.

Classy coffee and vibes. What more you trying to get out of life? This spot has the beans, it has the baristas, all it needs is you. Come on over an order them CoRo coffee (or hot chocolate like me) and be satisfied on a crisp Bay Area morning. This be Berkeley vibes to the max. With them gender neutral pronouns and coffee roaster smell.

Loved this coffee shop, friendly baristas, cute cups and amazing coffee. You can view the processing unit inside and enjoy a nice hot cup of coffee by the large street side windows or outside too. Our order was delayed due to come confusion and they gave us a complementary cup of coffee with sincere apologies.

This is among the best cappuccinos I've ever had. Darkly reddish brown, balanced taste and served hot. This is what a cappuccino should be. In addition I appreciate the ethos of CoRo as well as the ambiance of the space -- I came here to study and enjoyed my view of the roasting room through the big glass wall. They have a good amount of seating, but getting there earlier is better, as you'll also have less trouble finding free street parking outside. I also tried a slice of the vegan pumpkin loaf and loved it -- much fresher and spicier than the Starbuck's equivalent. I can't wait to go back!

Excellent, efficient, thoughtful service!

I had a cappuccino and a croissant.

The croissant is extra buttery and flaky. The cappuccino is quite robust and flavorful. Strong espresso :-)

Can I give 6 stars?

I had single origin espresso for myself and hot chocolate for my daughter.

She described her drink as amazingly chocolate tasting and didn't feel like syrup based at all. It felt like real chocolate and she loved her drink. It had beautiful late art on it even as it was made with almond milk.

The espresso was amazingly refreshing and has dynamic taste that I get very rarely. It had amazing balance of fruity and floral tastes, but also lots of depth and nuances. Pure joy to drink!

Highly recommend to espresso enthusiasts who like espressos made in Portland OR.

I wish I had found this place sooner - it’s likely the best coffee shop in the east bay. Small but really nice space, amazing coffee, tasty pastries from starter (and maybe others?). I’ve been there a few times now and their drip, pourover, and expresso drinks have all been delicious. I also overhead that they do roasting and cupping classes, too :)

Great vibes with big windows that let’s in a lot of light. There are lots of students studying here so seems good to come here to study and focus among other like minded students.

Extremely good coffee. Best cappuccino you’ll have in Berkeley. There isn’t any food options besides the few pastries they offer, but that does not take anything away from the kind service they provide and the super TASTY coffee they make, not to mention their latte art skills. If you want good coffee in Berkeley , look no further than here. All coffee is fresh (they have a roastery in house) and served in very nice ornate-style cups. Brilliant shop. Also a cappuccino is only $5 (which is what it should cost everywhere) so it’s affordable for students!
