Damask Rose Coffee

There is a lot to like about a Damask Rose, but i'd be amiss if I didn't make a special shout out to the folks who work here. A neighborhood gem. I ordered the: Cheese flatbreadTurkish delightKashmiri Chai

Such a lovely little spot! I came by after getting a tattoo nearby and their baklava brought me back to life. It was so delicious, packed with filling and flaky! The birds nest was okay but not nearly as good as the baklava.I wish I got a drink too but I had already had my coffee for the day, but my friend did get a coffee here and loved it. The workers here were sweet and friendly. It truly feels like a gem of a neighborhood spot!

A lovely atmosphere with friendly staff and patrons! I tried their hot Matcha latte with rose syrup and a Creamy Pomegranate Pistachio delight, both were good.Pros:- delicious matcha & fun pastry options- plenty of 2 person seating- reusable tableware for "for here" orders- picture-worthy decorCons:- not well suited for large parties

This is one of my favorite coffee & pastry shops of all time. The competition for great food, drinks, coffee and take out in the SF Bay Area is steep. Bay Area Natives get to grow up in a region known for some of the best food in the US. In a competitive field, Damask Rose sets itself apart with fantastic food, coffee, tea, service and atmosphere. Casual enough for a solo stop in, but romantic and cute enough for a date. Don't miss this gem!

A sweet beautiful cafe with delicious, reasonably-priced food that made me feel like I was back in the Holy Land. I reunited with a friend after years apart during my short trip to Berkeley. I chose this cafe for our date and it had all the good vibes and warmth (on a cold Bay Area day!) that I could've hoped for. I go out of my way to support spaces that stand by Palestine, especially in these times. The floral decor, decaf option for the rose latte , quick service, and overall seamless experience were all the icing on the cake for this lover of roses. Blessings to all who enter. Go here!!!

Lovely place, with the best rose latte I've ever had! I visited three times in eight days.

I came here with my friend. It's a quiet little coffee shop. Beautifully decorated. My friend ordered a latte and the warbat. I ordered the rose lemonade and baklava. The lemonade was interestingly tart, with chia seeds. I've never had it with chia. The baklava was not good. You could tell that it's not fresh and most likely had been made and sitting there for a bit. The shop while small, is very aesthetically cute.

I brought a Lebanese friend with me and she was delighted. "I have driven past and keep meaning to stop. I definitely will make sure to stop from now on." We had amazing chai - Kashmiri and Masala versions - at the Damask Rose Coffee near the Berkeley Bowl on Shattuck. We also sampled date mahwa and nougats, several of which are gluten free.The cafe is owned and run by Syrian women, and their service is warm and on point. We will definitely be back.

Damask was on our radar after a big lunch, this was just the place for a quaint dessert spot w/ friends and delicious pastries. I wish I remembered all the names of the delicious Syrian desserts we ordered...my most favorite was the biscuit filled w/ dates. It was so buttery and perfect. We loved their Turkish Delights and baklavas and birds nest. All of it were so delectable and satisfying. Service at the counter was very friendly and staff was extremely patient explain their menu. We can't wait to go back and try more scrumptious items!

Really enjoyed our visit here! The women running it are friendly, and they have thought of everything - great Wi-Fi, power outlets at every seat, and super comfortable chairs. We saw many folks enjoying a nice latte with their laptops out working. They have a variety of lattes including rose and pistachio as well as many types of Syrian pastries.We went with the rose latte and lamb flatbread. I absolutely loved the rose latte - the rose didn't overpower and it was not too sweet. The lamb flatbread was delicious and filled with meat - the flavor profile was on point!The interior is Instagram worthy! There were gorgeous pink faux-flowers everywhere. They have both outdoor and indoor seating and parking was street parking - wasn't hard for us to find a spot at the time.Overall, loved this spot and can't wait to come back to try the pistachio latte!
