Seems like a nice space inside, but due to the corona it is obviously closed. For the time being, they’re taking orders at the front door.Super strong cold brew, and a great selection of pour over. If it’s anything like the location that was in the Castro, the people working usually know the coffee really well and give great suggestions.

This place is delightful! The vibes in the cafe are so relaxed and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Shanyce was very eager to help me in deciding which coffee would best meet my needs. As a first time customer i was thoroughly satisfied. I will definitely be coming back soon!

I used to love this place a lot and came regularly. But, today is definitely well below average. Your barista recommended a medium roast pour over from a place that she doesnt even know ???? And she made my pour over... Yes, with a lot of grinds. Besides, where does the almond croissant come from? Hard as a rock, taste like paper...

This is a wonderful coffee spot on 4th street Berkeley - they make great everything!!Love the mocha.On weekends, they have live music - it’s a very popular place.

Excellent coffee and service. A great spot

They don’t know how to do flat white. Its consistency came out as a milkshake, the coffee profile and aromas are very poor. The nicest thing is only the interior design, not the quality of drinks.

My iced honey lavender latte was delicious! Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, and good variety of quality coffee beans for sale.

Hip coffee joint, spacious interior. I got the Ethiopian Yirgachaffe pour over coffee for $5.50. On the steeper side, but the coffee I had was unbelievable - one of the best Ive had in recent memory. Definitely will stop here anytime I pass through Berkeley.

Wont be basing this experience solely on this visit, but it seems like someone else had a similar experience. Ordered a matcha latte and when I received it, it had lumps of matcha in the drink.. not appetizing. Would have asked them for a refund but parking was ridiculous around here and I just had to go. Might try them again later down the line.

Typical coffee shop with a Bay Area vibe. Outside and inside is nice, but the 6 dollar lattes I ordered were disgusting. Couldnt taste the espresso and and only the artificially flavored syrup. Very disappointed but I guess most East Bay coffee places are like this.........

Matcha was just ok. A bit overpriced for the quality (as opposed to say, Asha). Would probably recommend their espresso instead

Great coffee shop with cool vibe and outdoor seating!

Chic, modern, and spacious coffee house with great coffee roasted on premise, pastries and light eats. They also sell interesting and unique coffee making gadgets and contraptions. My issue with them: theyre quite pricey. Call me old-fashion but I have a hard time getting used to paying $4-$5 for a cup of coffee (espresso drinks and pour-overs) though this seems to have become the norm in the Bay Area.

Cosy cafe..good taste of coffee

Great cold brew. Nice atmosphere for studying or just catching up with a friend.

Great place for coffee, especially like how they serve coffee in the ceramic mug. A lot of seats, both inside and outside.

Perfectly situated on the west side of Berkeley. I really enjoy the natural light coming in, seating outside, and of course their honey lavender coffee.

Fresh house-ground coffee with no bite. Limited food selection. Hip location with trendy decor. Janitor was power-washing the floors during my visit (couldnt this be done before opening hours?), which made the noise unbearable and a pleasant experience less enjoyable.

No bike parking.edit: Replying to response from owner — checked again this morning (8-16-21) and still didn’t see any bike parking. Can you please post a photo of where it is?

The coffe and customer service was fantastic, loved the new pastries and the location was wonderful a great place to relax or get some work done!

Was waiting so long for a good coffee

I missed café au lait which I used to drink a lot in Portland but hard to find in California. The coffee shop has it, and they have great coffee selections! You can also get freshly roasted beans.

Love this cafe. Spacious, comfortable for work, as well as meeting someone. Good drinks selection. I had the best almond croissant here.

Good location with nice drinks.

Coffee is excellent. The space is very open and comfortable. Its also fun to watch the coffee roasting.

Excellent coffee and specialty coffee. I had the Mocha and it was the best I have had for years. I highly recommend it. You can order at the door and drink it on the sidewalk or while strolling along.

Super tasty coffee! I went on a Sunday afternoon and I could barely get a seat...so popular! Saw many people working on their laptops as they provide free WiFi.

My favorite coffee place in Berkeley. I wish it were closer to campus but its almost always worth a bike/bus ride down to 4th street for a visit. Its super affordable and delicious. I love getting the cold brew coffee here.The environment is incredibly modern and with a hipster vibe. They have lots of expensive fancy coffee machines in display that you can browse while waiting in line.

Great coffee

I needed to find a coffee spot before I continue on with my road trip. I pulled up and there was front parking. Thank the lucky parking gods for that one! It was meant to be.Artis Coffee is definitely a place where you would want to hang out for a couple of hours. The ambiance is bright, warm and inviting and I can see myself staying and reading a couple of chapters from a book.Staff was friendly and prompt. I watched them execute each drink carefully and swiftly, all still being friendly to the customers.I just wanted something easy, a black cold brew. Normally, I would add cinnamon to it but they had cold brew where they infused cinnamon! Best tasting cold brew I had for awhile and it was smooth because I didnt have to add the spice and have it powdery and clumpy. I also grabbed a chocolate chip cookie to go and that had to be the best chocolate chip cookie I have had in a long time. Thin, chewy but crisp on the outside.Wish I stayed in town longer to check out the area but next road trip, I am stopping by again.

Great place to sit and either work or study...or just have a great cup of tea or coffee in Berkeley’s Artís Coffee. They have an outdoor open seating area in the back and a few table in the front with a bike share station right outside.

As a first time customer this place is awesome! Great customer service, nice atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff. Will definitely be back in the near future! Would highly recommend.

Good coffee. Baristas are very knowledgeable and they know how to make good coffee. They can roast coffee for you and have drip coffee. Its a great location. It can be busy and tables are hard to get. They have a nice seating area outside. Great place to get a coffee and stroll down the street.

Delicious coffee, great staff

Love this place. Can get crowded, but with the wait.

Best local and still small chill spot. Show them love, itll come back full! Real good coffee, real good people. If you got the money, go there.

The coffee was too good and the are is very clean...

Good coffee and nice space to work! They have some pastries and prepped sandwiches, in case youre hungry.Only thing is that there arent too many outlets, so sometimes you have to be strategic about where you sit or come with your laptop fully charged. :)

Really hoped for more from a place that micro roasts for each customer. Not impressed. Roast your own beans if you want the bragging rights. Or walk across the street to Peets and drink their superior coffee.

Fine but not great coffee.

They have the best croissants! Great service, cool coffee mugs and free coffee refills. We also enjoyed browsing through their cookbook selection and other food related accessories.Close to Amtrak train station in Berkeley.

Good place to get reasonably good coffee.

Artis is a staple whenever were in town in SF - for good reason. High quality coffee and espresso drinks that are better than most in the area, and a clean, modern aesthetic that puts the coffee and process on display.

Nice atmosphere and staff. They have all kinds of milks and coffees, and mine tasted great. although I did have to pay to park and the drinks were pricey.

Great coffee...honey lavender latte

First time and ordered a double shot espresso. Quite pricey — came out to $4.16 with tax. The beans tasted like they had potential with a more acidic taste, but it tasted quite watered down. If I am going to spend $4 on an espresso, I expect a premium shot. Maybe I would give this place another chance, but with a price tag that high it’s hard to want to..

Really nice space, great coffee. In a lovely convenient neighborhood. Service can be a bit slow

Great coffee and a great experience

Great coffee, mugs, atmosphere, and employees. Food looks good too, but Ive not tried it. WiFi was good. Few power outlets. Plenty of outdoor seating.

Delicious! I visit this place each time I’ve visited this area. They take their time making your drink and it really shows in the taste and presentation. I recommend the peppermint mocha.

Very tasty coffee, and Im not a huge fan of espresso. The fresh bean and roasting on the spot is a lot of fun and you get some exceptional coffee beans that are tailored to your tastes. There are a few coffee snob related items to buy, including expensive coffee making equipment, but you can save an average of $35 buying on Amazon. Not much for food here but they do carry Starter Bakery items and the coffee and espresso are done beautifully. I will keep stopping by here when I am in the neighborhood.

This is some of the best black coffee in Berkeley (and Im a complete snob about it). They make one of the better daily drips around (comparable to many pour overs), and of course offer pour overs of a large selection of single-origin beans. The flavor profiles are on the medium-light side, but they do have a couple beans to tickle the tastebuds of you dark roast nuts. Worth a try! I give 4 stars only because I like a couple other spots better: Babette and Blue Bottle, for example.

This is our offices favorite coffee shop! They roast the beans in house which means all the coffee is extra flavorful and strong. Excellent coffee and a real treat for coffee-lovers. I highly recommend stopping in for a special cup of coffee.

Amazing coffee! They roast their own beans perfectly. I had one of the best cappuccinos ever here.

Walk through here and you can see the coffee freshly roasting. The place is quite open to sit around, but the seating could be more comfortable inside. The coffee is good and the teas are nice. For teas, I like the jasmine or the London fog.

Bad service. Waited almost 15 min for a cup of special drip and what we got is lukewarm (not even hot), smell completely different drink that I would not even call it anywhere close to typical American and as soon as we sat down in less than 5 min we were told the store is closed and have to leave, our kid didn’t even finished his treat we got from the freezer.Will no return.

Great atmosphere and decorations. I got Matcha Latte which was good. A lot of people sit there and coffee while working on their laptop.

Young dude needs to wear gloves before touching coffee & money. He put his hand over the rim of my coffee. Not sanitary because I will drink from the rim.

Very expensive, a lot of nearby coffee places of better quality coffee as well. Nice space inside but have been let down with a drop in coffee quality and rise of price. Got an espresso and I think mostly out of carelessness it was served in a paper cup instead of a ceramic one for drinking in

Awesome little coffee shop. Would recommend to anyone waiting for a train

Tons of seating. Excellent for college students doing their work. Large interior. Outside seating as well. Very simple coffee menu compared to Starbucks. Reasonable prices. Nice staff. Very clean.

One of the best cafes in the area but cheese & ham grilled sandwich was very bleh. Do not recommend that...

My wife had a tea. I had a cup of coffee. excellent drinks. friendly people.

Great coffee and nice vibe. I suggest their flat whites and cortados. Ever single time I come here there isnt any good seating to work(they could definitely add another table), so I suggest coming here to get coffee to go.

I love getting my coffee here very nice people work here.

Nice place to grab a coffee and a bite. Muffin I had was perfect and the drink was just right. Real roomy inside and FAST (100d/25u) and FREE WiFi. Perfect place to get some work done without bumping elbows and sharing a open/slow Internet connection. Staff was real friendly and welcoming. Definitely worth trying out!

Good Coffee, Good food. They have a lot of tables and space making it a goodish place to study or work. They dont have many (if any) outlets so make sure youre charged.

Modern and chic coffee shop and bean roaster. Even though it was crowdy when we arrived, we ordered and received our coffee quickly. Service was friendly. Coffee was very good.

Great venue and ambiance, with variable quality espresso drinks.

Great Coffee

Fantastic coffee, to be sure, but the food is banal and overpriced. I ordered an avocado toast on sourdough - the tomato was sad, the sourdough hardly toasted, and dry... If I had made a toast that sad at home I wouldve tossed it and bought better ingredients, but here I had to eat this $6 toast in sadness and self-loathing

Review from 6.1.2015Outstanding coffee every time! I usually get cappuccino or cortado (2 parts espresso 2 parts steamed milk). I also tried some Guatemala beans and they have all sorts of yummy cookies/pastries, like The Cookie Department Espresso Cookie which contains the caffeine equivalent of 1 shot of espresso.

Cute coffee spot. I had a lavender honey latte that was absolutely amazing.

Their espresso is perfect, they give you sparkling water with espresso shots and the baristas are very nice! Its probably my favorite local place to get coffee. Make sure to tip these people a bunch because they deserve it for being so good.

Where else can you choose your coffee and have it roasted in front of you? Awesome concept for the home brewer who isnt ready or interested in roasting their own.Plus the location is great and the staff is friendly - why would anyone go to Petes again?

Some really excellent coffee. Also sell high end coffee making equipment. Seating area is always packed, but a great place to enjoy it if you can.

Delicious coffee, freshly roasted, brewed properly, cozy/nice/modern atmosphere, and non-pretentious/great service! Also, Artis supports women in the international coffee community... Just LOVE this place all around!

Really delicious coffee and the ambience is nice to have a conversation, do some work, or stalk future dogs you want to adopt from Berkeley humane.

Fine coffee, good location (the saving grace), but always just amazingly slow service and a little over priced. Usually crowded too.

Never a problem with the coffee here, including awesome service and a welcoming cafe environment. However, I took issue today with your wifi connectivity which made me lost about 45 minutes of much needed studying / work. Nice staff recommended two solutions which didnt solve the problem but his efforts were appreciated, but I ultimately had to leave. Peets Coffee down the block was full so I walked to Catahoula Cafe about a 1/4 mile away which had both excellent Wifi and ample workspace.

Amazing coffee, great ambiance, friendly staff. I just wish theyd offer more seating! I love coming to Artis to study on weekday mornings, but they should have twice as many tables! Space doesnt seem to be an issue...I hope theyll improve this soon.

Smells so good. Super chill. Live music vibe on weekends

Delicious coffee. Reasonable prices. Friendly staff. Great music

I buy bags of whole beans every time I visit. I can sit here for hours and work and enjoy their roasts.

Open until 5PM every day?... Okay, looks like I’ll walk right across the street to Peet’s since they’re open until 8PM.On second thought, how about I just skip having to buy two separate cups of coffee and, going forward, just head over to Peet’s in the first place (or any other coffee shop in Berkeley open until a reasonable hour).

Airy, modern and very inviting. Nice place to stop for serious coffee drinkers. Atmosphere and offerings very good.

Where else will they roast your coffee while you wait? I love the collection of coffee paraphernalia. And most importantly, the coffee is good.

Great coffee ... but really, kick your Internet Services Provider to the curb. I don’t mind paying top dollar for the coffee and ambience, however one should be able to work from a laptop without getting kicked off every 5 minutes. This is the only coffee shop in Berkeley where I experience issues. Addiitonally, the last 5 lattes I received were luke warm at best. Really an unenjoyable experience for a $6 cup of coffee. Ask for it extra hot. Really want to like this place, but this issues should be addresed as you are paying top dollar for the experience.

Nice enough people, chocolate croissants, and coffee served by people in no great hurry to get you what you want.

Good coffee and nice interior space, but the layout is very inefficient. They have a poor selection of pastries. Besides the continuous train horns it is a pleasant place.

Amazing coffee! Also they have wifi so is perfect for travelers looking places for catching up with family or work !

Its good ok coffee but can be pricey

They make one of the best cappuccinos in berkeley and they have lots of seating including outdoor

Great coffee, no regular milk but the alternate Mills are great

Large workspace with options to sit or stand and work, which is great for stretching during longer sessions. Could have access to power outlets.

Good coffee and quiet relaxing after walking around 4th Street in Berkeley

Espresso at its finest with all the other wiz-bang options available as well ( ie cold drip on tap, pour-overs, french press, etc). In house custom made to order roasting of a wide variety of beans from all over the world, while you watch! A nice little patio out front. Also, they do sales of espresso machines, cold drip systems etc. The best coffee Ive found in Berkeley!

Great coffee, nice coffee beans roasted to order (on the lighter/fruitier side). Not usually a fan of sweet coffee drinks, but I love their iced vanilla latte (with housemade vanilla syrup).

Delicious strawberry pastry. Complex and satisfying Ethiopian Coffee. Comfortable environment.

Everything is delicious and top quality
