Blue Bottle Coffee

“Excellent coffee, fast and courteous service.”

Honestly, an excellent example of soulless corporate mediocracy posing as something more. I live in Panamá and just returned from Mexico City. This place saddens me. Expresso tonic bitter. Tiniest cappuccino with weak depth of flavor and body. But the breakfast sandwich, while having flavor had all the curb appeal of a hotdog rolling on the heater at a gas station. Paid for depression.

As a self proclaimed espresso purist I was really impressed by the Juniper Latte. Good pour and nice presentation, good shot flavor. What else can one ask for? Decent places to sit too.

Caffeine Fix and Natural Light! We were in Berkeley for a business meeting, and my colleague suggested we stop by this Blue Bottle Coffee location for a caffeine fix. The place is nicely set up. It has large glass windows on two sides, letting in plenty of natural light, so you can enjoy your caffeine drink while watching the foot traffic outside. We opted for takeaway drinks, but the wait was a bit longer than usual due to a rush and a shift change. No worries, though! We had a chance to chat while we waited. My Winter Blend coffee with cream hit the spot! The caffeine boost did its magic,

I take my coffee black. As I haven’t really tried anything else, I cannot comment on the rest of their offer, but their 6 dollar pour over meets my (high) standard for coffee. In terms of atmosphere, the place is minimalist, modern, spacious. It’s not a cozy place, but I like looking out the window on the street drinking coffee - I find it calming. I get coffee here regularly while staying in Berkeley.
