The Hidden Cafe

We absolutely adore the hidden café, any sunny weekend day, the entire park and Café is buzzing with families and humans out for their morning coffee or pop-up breakfast food (we love the "mich-muffin" egg sandwich. My go to order is always some sort of tea or tea latte, I really appreciate the Matcha latte without sweetness and extra Matcha. Such a sweet community oriented café, that I would wish upon anyone who lives in Berkeley or is visiting! A true gem and gift to all of us.

This a great little spot for enjoying some coffee and sun! I enjoyed the eclectic interior and cozy atmosphere. There's some indoor seating for those who want to enjoy their coffee indoors but the space is limited. I ordered their mocha latte, and it had the perfect amount of sweetness. They serve some delicious pastries as well!

The hidden cafe has a good amount of street parking and is tucked away next to a field where you can enjoy your drink. We opted to walk around since it was a beautiful day.I ordered an iced hojicha latte with soy and it was delicious. Not too milky and not too much ice. The boys all liked their lemonades. I also like that we didn't have lids - less waste! Will be back to try more lattes.

Nice place , very cozy inside and a park with big grass area right outside, drinks is good, and very reasonable price.

I highly recommend the chorizo hashbrown breakfast sandwich. So flavorful and the cheese was so fluffy, it was like biting into a cloud. The people were so friendly and got everything out so quickly. It's very busy, but the lines go quickly! The park is so easy for kids and pets to play or walk around. If the weather is good I highly recommend bringing a picnic blanket. Seating is very limited and the inside seems taken by people working or studying. The out door seating is also limited, can only fit 2-3 people each.

My friend suggested this place for all of us to get coffee at, and it did not disappoint! It's located next to a park where on a Sunday afternoon, many small businesses are selling their products and everyone is relaxing in the park. It was a wonderful ambiance and felt like a friendly neighborhood.There was a line when we arrived, and an even longer line after we ordered. It's a go-to spot for many for sure! My boyfriend ordered the Kokuto Latte (Okinaawan Brown Sugar), and I ordered the Tulsi Latte. They were both warm & delicious, we enjoyed it while chatting with our friends. We also tried the Magic Purple Square. I personally didn't enjoy it because of the texture, but my boyfriend liked it which is good. We didn't wait too long for our drinks, and the workers were very friendly. Will definitely visit again!

Pro tip if there's no seating ask the baristas for the folding tables and chairs that are stored in the back! Great people and dog watching spot. Bike racks galore. Great food and service.

Hidden cafe is located in a historic brick building, which offers a beautiful outdoor park with an affordable menu. There is very limited street parking and seating indoors. However there's free WiFi and amble space for those looking for an outdoor picnic or recreational space.

By around 10 o clock it was BUZZING. The quiet old European library vibe was gone but it was still a great place to take an online class's The menu has a variety of options, from classic espresso drinks to unique seasonal specialties.
