Abe's Cafe

Service 11/10Food 10/10 People watching 9/10This is my favorite lunch spot near campus! Everything is tasty and fresh.

Service was very fast. I ordered a bunch of Breakfast for people while visiting one morning (two trips). The breakfast sandwhich was great, and the burrito solid. The upcharge to add extra meat was minimal. Space a little small so probably better to go than sit down, but it's a cafe so about what you should expect for UC Berkeley rent costs.

Cute little cafe tucked on the "quieter" side that's near UC Berkeley's Engineering Buildings. There are a couple tables outside, as well as inside.My visit took place a few weeks ago and I believe the owner (don't know his name) greeted me and took my order. I got the Veggie Special Burrito and it was packed with veggies, just the way I like it. No skimping on the ingredients. What made this extra tasty was the special home made salsa, mild with a ever so slight kick. I asked for more salsa as I was licking the little cup it came in. I also ordered a lavender latte, which was also tasty and as expected.Shoutout to the ladies working that day as they did it all (took orders, cleaned, provided excellent customer service, and etc). They do it all, and with a smile. Parking looks to be street parking only, read the signs as this area is probably strict with its close proximity to the college. I walked over after taking public transportation from downtown Berkeley. Looking forward to another visit in the future.#17/2024

Small local spot with a warm and kind atmosphere. Quick service with delicous food, highly recommend!

Staff is great they will make you smile and add energy to your day. Sandwich & drink were tasty, they had WiFi, a view of the street, and are closely located to Berkeley. Great option for a cafe

Abe's is a cute lil spot to grab delicious food, fresh juice, smoothie or coffee to go. There are also a few small tables inside and out. Great jazz music plays from the speakers. There's a deli case where you can find tasty sweet treats. Their breakfast burritos are yummy, and grilled perfectly; the smoothies are super fresh! The guy at the counter is very helpful too.

Random spot on northside that I'd never tried before, so I finally decided to swing by during my last 2 months of college. I was pleasantly surprised!I tried the steak sandwich, which was warm and super flavorful! The seasoning set it apart from other sandwiches, which just taste like deli meat and mayo most of the time. I came back once more to try the breakfast burrito, which I liked even more. The burritos are huge! I ordered it with the pineapple pork sausage, which was slightly sweet and so flavorful! Highly recommend.

WHEN: Thursday @9:30amPARKING: Metered Street parking for like $2/hour if I remember correctly. There was a decent amount at this hour.A friend and I wanted to do breakfast nearby the daycare she dropped her baby off that lasted for a little over and hour. There's all sorts of options here so it looked promising!There's both seatings indoor and outdoor, but quite limited. Here's what we shared:GREEN DREAM SMOOTHIE - 24oz - $7.25Avocado, Spinach, Banana, Plain Yogurt.Pretty good to me! No complaints.VEGGIE QUESADILLA - $11Black Bean Spread, Spinach, Zucchini, Bell Peppers and Mozzarella on Flour Tortilla.Cut into 4 sections, it also comes with a tiny side salad. I really enjoyed this and knowing its packed with veggies made me feel good.SPECIAL BREAKFAST CROISSANT - $10.75Avocado, Arugula, Bacon, Scrambled Eggs, Chipotle Aioli and Cheddar Cheese.This hefty sandwich may need to be eaten with a fork and knife because things might fall out trying to eat like a sandwich. It's really good and comes with 2 tiny orange slices.The staff I thought were very friendly and the prices were very reasonable. Definitely a great spot for students in the area.

asked for an iced latte, barista poured espresso over ice making it an iced americano with the tiniest splash of oat milk, charges an extra dollar for that dollop. mad disappointing, waste of money, threw drink away it was so bad. I regret tipping before finding out bro can't make a simple drink

Just alright. Owner is very pushy. Asked for toasted bagel, was not toasted. Bacon was ice cold. Options are limited in this area.
