Belmo Cafe

They have the greatest pastries in the bay. A mixture of Algerian and French pastries that makes this place unique. I highly recommend it.

Well, Belmo was quite delightful cafe. Your eyes will be bigger than your stomach looking at massive selection of pastries, Turkish delights, Algerian cookies, croissants, croissant sandwiches, and Algerian sandwiches. Oh yes, I got one of those peeps the pics. Get a kouignette (pear flavor?). What a butter, slightly creamy sweet pastry. Add coffee and you day is off to the races. The Algerian sandwiches are a hardy portion of meat slathered in yogurt and harrissa on a crusty bread. I was pleased with the sausage sandwich. Very tasty. I ate about have and saved the rest for later. .Check it out if you in the neighborhood. Tell 'em Riyad Mahrez sent you.

Sad I didn't discover Belmo Cafe earlier! It's definitely my favorite local bakery now. Service is friendly and warm, and the selection and cafe atmosphere is abundant. It was tough to pick the right order. We got the Mhajab, chocolate and chai latte. 5/5 across the board. I can't wait to come back and try more!

Walked past this place when on my way to another coffee shop. But I had to stop in because of how many people were outside seating in the rain to enjoy their coffee and pastries! This small cafe has a ton of variety and delicious looking pastries. I decided to try the Italian donuts stuffed with chocolate, white chocolate and hazelnut spread. The man who checked us out was super friendly and gave my spouse and I both a small pastry each! It was a small gesture that meant a lot to both of us . We will definitely be back to try more and support this great small business!

Best cakes in the area. These days I run between Crixa and Belmo Cafe. Totally different vibes and sweets, but they are the best in my book. Very nice staff.

I stopped by a few nights ago to grab some treats for my friend's parents. This was my first visit. The guy inside was awesome and very helpful. He recommended some great pastries and they were enjoyed by my friends family. I will definitely be back to grab something for myself next time.

What a pleasantly sweet discovery! While roaming Berkeley with my friend, she requested I take us to Belmo Cafe. She was given their pastries and enjoyed them, so she wanted to stop by the store-front. The family-owned cafe is easy to pass by, so I'm not surprised I hadn't been before! The store is quite small and tight, only fitting a few people inside with several tables for two outside. Inside your eyes are delighted with a mixture of French, Turkish, and Algerian desserts and pastries plus a variety of drinks to pair with it. The worker helping us was knowledgeable, generous, and a lot of fun to talk to!We loved how unique the variety was for treats! Not many are labeled but the worker helped identify what were in the pastry cases. My friend had the Tiramisu and I had the Baklava. The baklava was sweet, syrupy, and light. My friend enjoyed her tiramisu. We also had the opportunity to try other baklavas which were delicious. Belmo Cafe is a hidden gem in Berkeley offering a wide variety of baked goods. Service is thoughtful and their offerings are tasty. Find them off University Ave. with metered parking out front. I'll be coming back in the future for a sweet treat!

If not for Yelp I might have missed out on the Gourmet Ghetto of Middle Eastern treats and coffee in West Berkeley, on University Avenue.The French-Algerian inspired Belmo Cafe and nearby neighbor, Heyma Yemeni Coffee are literally the one two punch of cafe deliciousness. After grabbing a dynamite spice and cardamon infused latte at Heyma, we wandered into Belmo and saw a gorgeous assortment of French pastries, but what really got us drooling was their beautiful section of enormous and exquisite Turkish delight, of which we tried a strawberry pistachio, a hazelnut and a chocolate filled variety, each more delicious than the last. These are special, fresh and homemade.A bevy of French and Algerian pastries are sold here, and trust me the Turkish delight is particularly wonderful.

I went twice in less than a 12 hour. Period, the food was so good after dinner that I went back in the morning and picked up a box to bring to my daughter. Everything was wonderful Service was cordial and prompt. I highly recommend this place.

the loveliest local bakery -- as soon as i walked in, i was greeted by the sight of so many delectable pastries & even more being freshly baked! the blackberry fruit tart tasted super fresh and not overly sweet, and the pistachio flavor worked beautifully into the mille feuille. the owner / baker was so sweet, and i would definitely recommend for anyone craving pastries!!
