When I was a child I once went to a restaurant with my parents and observed a kindly older couple at the next booth over order their "usual." I remember wondering what kind of place would be so good that you could go in again and again and always get the same thing without getting bored of it. For me now, Fellini Coffeebar is that place. Their coffee is pretty much perfect; I will never get bored of it. It also helps that the staff are incredible! They are considerate, welcoming, creative, and have an impressive memory for all of their customers (it didn't take me long to get a "usual"). Now when I step up to that counter it feels like coming home. I know I am about to have a wonderful experience as one of those lovely people writes my name on the cup before I even order, and then fills it with a delicious coffee. I almost always get a warmed veggie quiche as well, and can expect to have a complimentary pleasant conversation on the side! Also, for those dog owners out there, this is THE spot to go if you are in walking distance. They are super dog-friendly and provide free treats for their 4-legged customers! I will leave you with this warning: it's not possible to only go here once. Prepare to make this a...
Read moreBest value caffe latte in the Bay Area! This establishment offers a solid latte for $3.75 along with tasty pastries and donuts from the finest high end bakeries in the East Bay. The setting is no frills with a few tables and chairs in a largely empty parking lot with no car traffic that catches the sun. The huge lot must be worth a fortune as Fellini splits it with a pizza restaurant, hence the lack of traffic. I paid $6.50 for a latte at Sightglass in San Francisco that was not as good. My latte and 2 excellent pastries came to $12. The gentleman behind the counter was kind and friendly. You can also purchase their exclusive Mr Espresso roasted beans at an equally reasonable price. Head there quick before the landlord cashes in on the lot which is right across the street from Target. Best value latte and easiest parking in Berkeley makes this a new favorite...
Read moreMy go-to coffee place.
I like a good dark roast and this place has it. Medium roast is good too. Their coffee is not acidic and tastes fresh throughout the day.
(I usually can’t go to a Starbucks or any coffee shop in general because the coffee doesn’t taste fresh and isn’t dark enough).
Window order and pick up and there is outdoor seating. There’s also a parking lot so it’s great for anyone with a car.
I enjoy their baked goods as well: -morning buns - light and fluffy, always a pleasure. -scones - taste great if you like scones. -almond croissant - not too much almond taste and filling so maybe I’ll pass on it next time. -spinach feta croissant - delicious and has a lot of...
