edmonds cafe — Restaurant in Berkeley

Pretty terrible food compared to the local resturants on Shattuck or even Telegraph. Tiny portions, not fresh, virtually no whole grain options, uses American cheese for breakfast sandwiches. Very overpriced if paying cash($10 for a sandwich and chips, no drink). Open very limited hours, kitchen closes a good 2 hours before the cafe does and rarely gets your order right. No unsweetened cold beverages. It will take you 15-30 minutes to get a simple coffee and sandwich, unlike any reasonable cafe.

Edmonds Café at UC Berkeley’s International House is a true hidden gem, offering a fantastic selection of fresh, delicious food in a welcoming atmosphere. Whether you’re a student, faculty, or just visiting, this café is the perfect spot to grab a quick bite or relax with a coffee.

Nice place for studying or chilling in the terrace.

Terrible customer service though, especially in rush hours or when the boss is around: Oftentimes they are out of half of the items of the menu. They rarely do custom orders (e.g. sandwich without onions, or chocolate over pancakes). They have very long queues, as in spite of having two cash registers, they never seem to have more than one open.
