Souvenir Coffee Co.

Coffee is great but they don’t listen to special requests like removing cheese from avo toast. Had to throw out the top of it since I was in rush.

Great coffee and service, pleasant premises, Zen like patio in the back. My rating scale is tough and this establishment which serves a fine latte and cortado with solid roasted bean notes and flavors deserves a solid 4. Souvenir occupies the prior location of Semifreddi’s Bakery, a few blocks West from the Claremont Hotel. Next door is a comic book and poster store that harkens back to the 60s and 70s and well worth a visit on its own. Souvenir roasts its own beans which my readers know by now means a lot to me. The premises were full which is always a good sign. The back patio represents an oasis of tranquility in hectic Berkeley. Service was excellent and the kind young ladies took the time to explain which beans were used for espresso, all with a smile. This establishment deserves your business - and linger a while in the patio.

Mocha was tasty. I would skip their matcha items. They have day old bakery items for discount. Front outdoor, indoor, and outdoor back patio (cozy!) seating available.

This is a chill, cozy spot. I’ve been here many times and it’s consistent. It’s also popular. Nice outdoor seating. The breakfast sandwiches are good. I always get the Breakfast Veggie.

The almond croissants were really good! Definitely recommend them.

Souvenir Coffee is the real deal, they are very passionate about coffee and it shows up in every cup. They love talking about coffee too, if time allows. Be sure to ask all of your questions and take some time to try some of their de-lish snacks!

Amazing coffee shop not too far from UC Berkeley. You can take the 51B and get dropped off pretty close. Coffee is really good (I recommend the mocha or the latte) but the star of the show is the breakfast sandwich. Absolutely loved the Happy Veggie and wanted to order another one. Do recommend!

Love the atmosphere very calm n enjoy that coffee BUT The coffee is not hot enough for me ( should have ask to microwave it but the staff become busy AND I am generous enough to tip because it was my first time but somehow no appreciation or smile respond( specially the jar has like 40 cents) So a smile or liveliness or a little friendliness to keep me yearn to go back for coffee even I live farther.
