I recently discovered this charming little café on the corner of Rent and Fulton, and it has quickly become one of my go-to spots. As someone who prefers to avoid running into friends or family while dining out, I was delighted to find that this café serves an amazing Reuben sandwich, a great selection of fresh juices, and does bagels and lox exceptionally well. The staff is exceptionally friendly and accommodating, and parking in the vicinity is generally quite easy. If you’re looking for a quiet place to work on your laptop while enjoying a meal, I highly recommend this café. During my visit, it was pleasantly uncrowded, with most patrons opting for takeout. I can’t wait to come back!

I always enjoy outstanding service and tasty food at this restaurant! This morning, I had the breakfast bagel combo, and I was really impressed by how generously loaded the bagel was—just half of it was more than enough to keep me satisfied! They also have outdoor seating, which is great for enjoying a meal outside. Plus, they open early, making it convenient for a quick bite before work.

**Review:** I enjoyed breakfast in Berkeley again! Although I'm not usually a coffee drinker, I really craved some caffeine today, so I decided to stop by a coffee house. I ordered an iced mocha with vanilla syrup, and it was fantastic! This has to be one of the best iced coffees I've had in a long time. It was incredibly creamy with just the right amount of sweetness. As for the bagel, it was delightful! They loaded it with a generous amount of veggies, and when I opened it up, it was a feast for the eyes—a colorful breakfast sandwich! The cream cheese added an extra layer of creaminess that made it even better. So far, I’m really enjoying the breakfast scene in Berkeley!
