Cafe Milano

I became a regular there the past summer and I believe that it's such a good spot to study and drink a coffee with friends. Food; The drinks are sometimes a hit or a miss but the chai never missed for me. 2/3 stars depends on what you get and I just love chaiAmbiance: LITERALLY SO CUTE. The trees and atmosphere here makes it such a unique place in all of Berkeley that even after you leave the city you want to find a similar experience. 2/1 stars Service: Like many places depends on who you get as a worker. I had a person being trained so it was fun seeing them learn. But if it's someone from the kitchen there will be less focus on customer service which makes sense since they're they're for cooking. 1/1 hit or miss tbh but it's fine

Staff kicked students out in midst of an active shooter event not even halfway down the street. Disgusting lack of regard for human life. I'm a Cal alum who frequented Cafe Milano for its proximity to campus. I regret every penny I spent on your lackluster drinks. Your staff doesn't just need training on how to make a Mocha Bianca, your staff needs training on how to be decent human beings. Your bathroom is busted, your wifi never works, you have like -3 outlets, you always have flies and fruit flies in clouds on the 1st floor.

great coffee shop and wasn't too busy in the morning when i went. The white mocha is so good!!!!

I loved my coffee latte but my friend didn't like his matcha. It was too sweet. We both loved the flaky apple turnover. I love the big plants inside and the vibe! It makes you feel you're in a tree house. I can see why people hang and do work here I didn't get to take pics of our drinks and pastry. As I stepped out someone was playing the piano :) Service was fast. The staff was really nice, more so the barista. Parking can be challenging.

Got their matcha but didn't realize it was presweetened. The barista was really nice and made me a large latte on the house to make up for it. Came here on a rare rainy day and the vibes were perfect. Free WiFi and lots of seating.

It's a great place to sit and chat with your friends. As a matcha lover, I got the matcha latte here. Warning, they use a premade matcha latte powder. Nothing wrong with that, but I prefer the traditional way. Would definitely come back to enjoy the ambiance/seating and just stick with their fresh squeezed orange juice.

I would come back for the grab and go egg and cheese burrito! It is a great price (3.95) for what you're getting, with lots of egg and cheese! It is more of a mini burrito but that's also what I love about it because it is so convenient to eat and you don't have to commit to a full one. A lot of other convenient typical cafe foods such as pastries, bagels, and salads and sandwiches. The coffee is very okay.The ambiance is alright - I would say it is enjoyable in the early mornings, when it is quieter and you can easily find seating. But after that it can get very cramped and stuffy in my experience, especially in the upstairs seating area. I have also noticed there are a lot of flies inside so it does take away from the experience too. Wifi is not the most reliable and can be spotty sometimes.

A solid, old school cafe. I got an Italian soda that was perfect, sat by the window using the WiFi and did a pleasant few hours of work.

I ordered a quad espresso with a little almond milk and got the dirtiest look and he just stood there glaring for a second. They were having issues with payment so I waited a few minutes and they turn the iPad over to me and the price was FOURTEEN DOLLARS. I have been a barista and traveled across the US trying coffee and with the same order and I have never been charged 3$ per extra shot. They didn't even put almond milk in my drink and he had me walk over to pour my own straight out of the carton. Not steamed. 14$ for a drink I had to help make. He had me try the espresso to explain that it was stronger than most but it was just burnt.

What happened? Haven't been in for a long time. Maybe it was Monday morning issues after the weekend? Cashier: "currently cash only." Bagels: only jalapeno (but I just saw someone put a tray away of a mix). Tea: 3 choices: chai spice, black currant, and some fruity herbal blend. Disappointing.
