Jaffa Coffee Roasters

I LOVE it here. The drinks, the bright ambiance, the kind service - Jaffa Coffee Roasters is the way to go if you're looking for a spot to work in Berkeley.I met up with a couple of friends at Jaffa to cowork on a Friday afternoon. Super easy to find parking around - you'll likely end up parking at a meter on the street and walking over. You can even take bart and walk over like my friend did.The shop itself is small, fitting maybe 25-30 people seated. They have a lot of tables and a long bench with pillows along the wall. There's also some seating right by the window to soak in the sunlight. The windows are large and the walls are painted so beautifully. As a person that is energized by working in beautiful spaces, I was so happy here. The drinks are also delicious. I went with the hot version of their signature Jaffa Orange Latte. A delicious latte, with just a touch of orange flavor. Really beautiful if you decide to enjoy it dine-in. I also tried my friend's chocolata rummana, a mocha with pomegranate mocha syrup and garnished with fresh pomegranates. Delicious, though I will admit you'll get mostly mocha flavor with a tiny taste of pomegranate. The drinks are also equally beautiful iced. Saw a few others order them that way and they're all instagrammable (camera eats first, right?) They also offer some pastries which my friend got to enjoy.The staff is really kind and accommodating too. Super helpful when I requested many things like the wifi password, then later an extra cup, then later some other request I can't seem to remember.Overall highly recommend this spot to get some coworking done, hang out with friends, or just grab a delicious coffee to go.

Lovely coffee shop with excellent ambiance. It's bright, clean, and very appealing inside with chairs and tables seating about 20-30. Staff is friendly and nice.The drinks are a bit on the pricier side, however, they're different. They're unique with drinks that aren't found elsewhere, with rosemary or sage or other spices added on top of a flavor. I got the Tatreezelnut which was an excellent take on a hazelnut latte, however the fresh rosemary included was a tad much so I ended up taking some out. Overall, this place has unique specialty drinks that I will be coming back to try. Go check them out!

Very pretty little spot with very pretty and unique drinks. I got a strawberry sage latte and it was delicious! We went on a Saturday afternoon and though there's a handful of tables, they are very busy! We drank out coffee standing until a table freed up lol

This place has some great coffee treats! We picked up the Strawberry Sage Creek and Orange latte.I really appreciate how unique some of the drinks were.I mean, strawberry cream on the latte with dried strawberries on top?? Thats pretty nice and fancy. Both drink were great and they had a wide selection of pastries to pair well with any of the drinks.Both drinks were subtly flavorful and not that sweet at all.

The coffee mocktails are very well balanced. This isn't your average coffee shop. The owners have successfully delicately balanced the flavors of their homeland while the main hero, the coffee, shines through.The interior decor is clean, modern, and chic. I could easily spend an afternoon here working (and very well may). It's a very well lit place and pays homage to Palestine. The jaffa orange art on the wall is absolutely stunning.The owners are three brothers and you can tell they poured their heart into this shop. Free Palestine

My favorite cafe in Berkeley. It's always sunny, and their flavored lattes are out of this world. Try the strawberry sage and the jaffa orange latte.

Jaffa Coffee Roasters opens where MeloMelo Kava Bar once was. Similar infrastructure, new decor.Offerings: Covfefe variants, other hot drinks, pastries..Quick, meticulous service by baristas. Ordered after debriefing. Drinks in 5ish minutes. Drip covfefe (4) medium roast, South american beans. -large cup, volume reduces tastes to lightExpresso shot (4) house blend (Midnight in Jerusalem): blend of Guatemala, Nicaragua & Peru coffee beans. Strong! Robust! Smooth!*can mix both to make a black eye. Prefer separate. Bites: Almond Croissant (7)-biggest ever seen. Many layers of flakey butterness, covered with roasted almond schreds, powdered sugar, definitely artisanal, not formula.

(3.5 stars out of 5, rounded up to 4) I got the Chai and my fiancé got the latte. I of course tried both and all though the drinks were very good, with high quality coffee, high quality chai, and great whipped cream lol, I just can't justify 17$+ for two drinks that are roughly 8 ounces each... ambiance is very nice, I love the aesthetic; and the service was exceptional. If you have the money to drop on really expensive coffee, I'm sure you'd love it here.And if you go tell them Rothyy sent you!

Wow, the coffee drinks and mocktails here are amazing! Nice Palestinian coffee shop and relaxing decor. We ordered the Just in Thyme, Jaffa Orange Latte, and the Gen Z Beel. As we were waiting for our drinks, they let us know that they are out of the Jaffa Orange Latte so we changed it to a different drink. Also, they gave us the wrong drink for the Gen Z Beel. Lastly, the drinks didn't come out for over 10 minutes so we asked about it and they let us know that there was an issue with the espresso machine they are fixing.OK, so far lots of issues before we even got our drinks, BUT the drinks made up for it. The drinks are very tasty, look presentable, and you can smell the aromas from the mocktail! Highly recommend trying their signature drinks, which I will be back to try more of!

I had been wanted to check Jaffa Coffee Roasters out, so I stopped by around lunchtime on a Sunday.We ordered the Jaffa orange latte and strawberry sage creek (a seasonal drink).Jaffa orange latte: 3/5It contains jaffa orange syrup, milk, orange slice and jest. Unfortunately, I felt the coffee overpowered the orange syrup and orange flavors so I couldn't really make it out, if anything it only just made the drink more acidic.Strawberry sage creek: 4/5It contains milk, strawberry sage syrup, strawberry whip, and strawberry slices. This was sweeter than the orange latte, and if you use a straw to drink, then toward the end it gets creamy and sweet like a frappuccino from the whipped cream, so I enjoyed that the flavor became progressively sweeter as I got from the beginning to end. The dried strawberries are cute, and don't get too soggy or mushy fortunately. I couldn't really tell if the whipped cream was flavored though, it just tasted like standard whipped cream to me.For both I drinks, I unfortunately felt the coffee really overrode the other flavors. I'm curious to try their other drinks though, particularly the chocolate-based choco cappuccino, and the rose with a chance of hail (the latter has rose petals, rose cardamom syrup, and milk but is a seasonal drink).They have a traditional coffee menu on wall but there are separate paper menus on the counter with their specials, seasonal offerings, and teas. Their special coffees are referred to as "mocktails" on the paper menu.They also sell some pastries, including vegan donuts.The drinks were done within 4 mins. The shop's space is actually very long and has some seating area in sunlight, and others that are not so brightly lit, based on your preference. Some are sofa style but most of the seating is a long wall bench and chairs. I do think the shop itself looks nice with the natural lighting.
