Amazing food. Perhaps the best toast of my life. The harissa egg was delicious too and the cardamom macaroon. Basically,, everything was great..They serve Heart coffee too. Highly recommend for a breakfast, or whenever.

Still one of my neighborhood favorites! I love their eggs and their tartines. Their seasonal tomato tartine is one of my favorites. Oh and they sell the harissa they use on the eggs in a jar!!

Have been coming here for years. They are probably most well-known for their avocado toast (which has a generous amount of avocado on it). The olive oil egg, daily savory scone, and other toasts (seasonal tomato, standard toast with butter and jam) are tasty as well. One star reduction for price. One piece of toast should not cost nearly $15, especially when what makes it so good is the fact that it’s on Acme bread (a whole large loaf of which sells for 1/3 of the price next door). Otherwise, it’s really tasty.

I have been there 3 times. Each time I really enjoyed what I got. I ordered Persian Breakfas and avocado toast.Bread is the best and plates are really beautiful. Prices are a bit high but not too crazy and you can will get high quality food.

This review is only based on the Latte I had - I drink a lot of coffee - especially Lattes, and know when I taste a good one. But this one tasted like given from a coffee machine. The flavor was bland and I could taste milk rather than coffee. Plus, it is expensive! 5 $ and some cents for 12 ounce! Not done.

I wasnt there very long, but the service I observed to all the guests before me was thoughtful, patient, and kind. Its rare you can find a cafe were you dont have to know the staff or become a regular to get a smile or some kind words in.The espresso was sweet and balanced well with their plum and pistachio galette, and the staff there seemed to authentically enjoy working together while handling the morning crowd. Would highly recommend visiting.

Best coffee shop in the area hands down. Amazing coffee and espresso. Pastries are top notch. Just wish the outdoor seating was available as in the past.

One of the only places I know that serves the awesome Heart coffee from OR. Also, the food is absolutely delicious. Doesnt hurt that theyre sandwiched (pun intended) between Acme (some of the best bread in the Bay Area) and Kermit Lynch (great wine).

One of the best barista, the guy with the full beard. The setting is rustic, buzzy earthy intellectuals, typical Berkeley! Next to Acme Bread bakery. Space to sit is limited and parking is super limited, otherwise a real gem in the morning.

The atmosphere here is amazing! The boards and other food options are so good; Id highly recommend the avocado toast. The drink options are great as well, especially the oat milk latte!

Best porridge you will ever eat.

One of the best places for brunch in Berkeley! I love this place.

Amazing food, super fresh and tasty.Totally worth a visit

Perfect coffee every time.

Simple, yet effective. Expect a line. Somewhat overpriced, but good quality.

Absolutely the best avocado toast Ive tried. The cortado is also amazing. Ive been to this place for a couple of times. Its becoming my favorite start of Saturday mornings.

This place is awesome! Tucked in a corner near the Acme bread shop, it has anything a good coffeeshop should have — friendly staff, delicious coffee drinks and a great selection of toast options. They were out of avocado toast the time we visited (not in season), though we really enjoyed a trout plate!It feels like a gem spot among both locals and visitors. Want to come back there for a glass of wine ;)

Everytime I come to the bay area, this place is closed or sold out. Today was the day... that I got to try the avocado toast, and yes it was the bomb.

Super friendly staff and delicious food. Highly recommend Calabrian Sandwich and their apple cider!

Very nice people. Good coffee too.

I drive from Menlo Park to Berkeley just for their Persian breakfasts. Not good for groups or strollers

Fig jelly good, porridge was eh, Persian breakfast good, bread good.

Quick, simple, delicious!

I seriously dont even know where to begin. From the coffee to the food.. everything is amazing. BEST avocado toast in the Bay Area!

Cozy place with great coffee and good food

Good coffee and drink, expensive.

Such an incredible little cafe, with the best avocado toast, lattes, and a nice selection of pastries! Evening menu is also delicious - a great wine selection, and a small list of ever-changing plates. Cannot wait until you reopen again!!

My favorite stop for a cortado and a quick bite, including pantry provisions and salads. Super organised distancing-friendly pickup window.

Cute hip youngs slinging avocado toast and Heart coffee (aus Portland) in a tiny space. If youre tempted to deride it as a fashion victim place, try the food first. Its great. I had a frittata with a proper dollop of aioli straight out of Spain, and a really nuanced cardamom macaroon that was just excellent with my African espresso. I loved it.

This spot has great cappuccino. Seriously, so good. They also sell coffee beans from Heart (coffee roasters in Portland) which have turned out to be one of my favorites to make at home. Theyre a good place to sit down and chat for a bit, and they also have some good food bite options. Just note that their hours arent long compared to other coffee spots (they close by 4pm usually).

I love this tiny place for the good coffee, delicious Persian breakfast, good toasts, and tasty sweet things. Its hard to get a table and the place is often crowded and people either stare you down for your table or do the opposite and just sit and gab long after theyre done eating. But except for the seating problem I really enjoy coming here.

This Cafe used to be one of my favorite places. Unfortunately, they have a very strange practice of getting local avocados and stopped serving avocado toast during various seasons. They also arent capable of advising customers when they will be offering it again. Its nice to get local organic produce. However, we also live in a global market/world and it doesnt make sense why they dont offer avocado toast all year round. If they cant offer all year round they should at least be able to advise what seasons they will be offering their foods. Customers will just go elsewhere. It makes no sense to me why they cant just purchase avocados from an additional source in off season. Second, they appear to offer a number of healthy choices like the Porridge. However, after further review I learned there is a very high amount of salt being added to the Porridge that isnt very healthy. My suggestion is to remove the salt completely and/or have an option for people without it. I would continue to use the Acme bread since that makes the toast a winner.

I had some time to kill before my salsa class next door. It wasnt much time so a place Bartavelle Coffee & Wine Barwas a must. I stumbled upon this place on a Monday night hoping for a warm drink to fight off the cold weather chills. Unfortunately the coffee bar was closed, but the bar was open for business! I thought to myself wouldnt it be fun to lose your inhibitions before a dance class? Like any bar, you had to be 21+ to enter so they check ID at the door. People under 21 are excluded, but dogs arent! This bar is dog-friendly. I saw one inside!Bartavelle Coffee & Wine Bar

I absolutely like their food and service, good location close to my residence. The staff members are always very kind. I highly recommend this place.

The avocado toast here sent me into the stratosphere. So good!!!! Housemade pickles: yum! And Christina assisted me so kindly. What a beautiful experience.

Very detailed fine food.

Heres a really quaint little coffee bar across the street from Golden Bear Inn on the corner of Cedar Street and San Pablo Avenue. I came here every morning for breakfast when I made the trip to drive my daughter up to campus for orientation. The cappucino was really good and she loved the avocado toast. Theres so many good place to eat around Berkeley - honestly, its a foodie heaven - but this place, petite and kind of hidden, is always busy because ... its that good !

Classic breakfast and lunch joint next to one of the best bakeries in the east bay. You order your food at the cashier and they either call you or bring it over when ready. The food is very good. Avocado toast is renowned and the rest of the menu is just as good. Prices are in line with Berkeley. Menu is limited which I like because it means they only make what they are good at. Seating is limited and lines can be long but its all worth it. Very hard to find something to complain about with the food.

Had a really great “Persian breakfast” here today. Cappuccino I had was delicious and perfect temp. Cute unique place with friendly staff. The prices were a bit high, don’t know if I’d make this my go to daily coffee place.

This is a wonderful restaurant-the food is amazing, service is fabulous and ambiance is great. Make reservations in advance! The Bartavelle Coffee & Wine Bar is fabulous! Always make our next reservation the night we get home from dinner!Bartavelle Coffee & Wine Bar

Id rather pay a few extra bucks for quality then chance it and get something substandard. They do lattes right and most places dont, lets be honest. Staff is really chill and nice. Slightly pricey, but you get something good for it! Ill come here again.

One of my favorites in the bay! Come get great coffee, and exceptional food. And you cant go wrong with Acme bread and Kermit Lynch wine next door!

They used Heart coffee from Portland. As good as Ritual, 4 Barrel, or Blue Bottle. And tasty small bites for accompanying. Their fresh baked scones are really tasty and often sell out. The porridge also worth trying.

The food is really great; nice and simple but expertly crafted with high-quality ingredients. You might not think simply ordering an egg or some toast is great, but it is. Its pretty pricey, but recommended: egg with anchovies, avocado toast, or my favorite the Persian breakfast.Plus side: while youre there you can get great cheap and super fresh bread at Acme right next door.

Never disappoints. Great coffee and a delightful nosh of California cuisine in avocado toast or trout tartine- my two faves. Diff menus as the day unfolds. Limited but cozy seating....and Acme Bread next door! Win-win.

Best avocado toast in the Bay Area!

Delicious breakfast options, but a little pricey for what you get. Portions are great, though! Theres a nice little patio too.

This place is fantastic! Seriously. Limited seating but very cute place, conveniently adjacent to Acme Bread next door. Not super cheap but worth it for quality. Favorite breakfast items: the 5-grain porridge dish with the savory spices and the avocado toast. Their coffee is great too-cant go wrong! :) One of my all time favorite go-to spots.

Delicious lattes and some of the best avocado toast around. A little spendy, but thats just how it is when it tastes that good. Sometimes hard to find a seat, but its a cool spot anyhow. Enjoy!

Hands down best coffee + breakfast place in Berkeley. Excellent service, delicious + relatively healthy food, high-quality coffee and espresso - these people know what they’re doing!

Excellent food, specially the breads (ACME is right next door). I got the Persian breakfast. And even though it was too green for me at the first look, it was actually very delicious. Everyone else was getting Avocado toast and that look very yummy as well, so that is what I will get the next time.

Fresh sandwich and cookies

Love this place.

Excellent menu- the Persian Breakfast, Early Girl Tomato Tartine, and pickled veggies are exceptionally delicious. Small interior, but nice outdoor patio for seating. Right next to Acme Bread. Off-street parking available. A hidden gem!

Best avocado toast. Great porridge too; I did it with almond milk and no butter.

Nice little cafe with outdoor seating. The outdoor area is covered, so it is serviceable during inclement weather. The menu is lacto-ovo vegetarian friendly. Espresso drinks can be made with almond or oat milk for an additional $0.75. Acme Bakery is adjacent, so its a great place for fresh baked goods and good coffee.

Great coffee, great food. Love the Persian Breakfast!

Great spot to grab some avocado toast (add the egg) and a coffee to kick off the weekend. Theres limited seating outside so I usually only come here with 2-4 people at most. If you see a giant line when you arrive, dont be dissuaded, its probably for the bakery next door.

I loved this place. The food was amazing, the coffee was delicious (I also liked that they offered oat milk) and the entire staff were super helpful. It was a bit more pricey than I expected, but not overpriced by any means.

Nice little spot, reminds me of a tiny Europe cafe. Right next to Acme bread as well! Good coffee and tasty little bites.

The best breakfast cafe in the east bay and maybe entire Bay, hands down. A little pricey but the quality is impeccable. Expect a queue if you are going over the weekend but its so so so worth it. Long live Bartavelle.

Great coffee, but slooow turn around on orders and no good spots to sit to wait.

Excellent food. Limited wine options but there is a wine shop next door.

The ghee and sea salt porridge is a revelation. Ensure you pair with an olive oil egg on top with extra sea salt and marash pepper.

Bartavelle has some of the best coffee in Berkeley. I appreciate that they import beans from Heart up in Portland for us to enjoy here in Berkeley. I vote this to be one of the best mochas (double ristretto) in the area. I like that bitter dark chocolate note that fades after the first couple sips. The food really sets them apart as a food forward cafe. I wish I worked in the East Bay during the week so I could enjoy a lunch here with fewer people in line.

Great coffee, good atmosphere, small and simple. Not good for working or long hangs but nice place to have a quick coffee

The Persian breakfast is amazing. Great food. Some of the best coffee around. Outside seating. Service is friendly.

My favorite place for avocado toast when it’s in season! So delicious with the Acme levain and the perfect, buttery rich avocados that they use. Also enjoy the toast with fresh tomatoes during the summer. Will occasionally add prosciutto, like that it’s from la quercia. Only wish that there was better seating, can get crowded and we don’t always want to sit outside.

Amazing eggs and pastries!

Delicious food, and everyone there were great. Stina thank you for a delicious breakfast that you made for me m. Thank you everyone for great service and great staff. Anita

My favorite avo toast! But the Persian breafast is delicious too! Parking is limited inside the lot however, there is ample amount of street parking. You can get fresh acme bread loaf right next to this place.

Love bartavelle! Be prepared for a wait on the weekend that is almost certainly worth it

Always great beginning of a wonderful day. They are all wonderful, Pablo, Sam & the gang!!

My favorite neighborhood cafe in Berkeley. I missed Cafe Fanny initially when Bartavelle opened business in their location, with different food, etc., but now I go there regularly.Friendly owner, staff, comfortable to sit and eat at the counter. I had my first avocado toast there, liked it so much, learned how to make it for times that I couldn’t make it to the cafe. Now everyone and their brother offers it, but theirs is still the best version I’ve tasted here and at hip eateries out of state.Bartavelle only offers avocado toast when avocados are in season; they also make a seasonal (summer) version of tomato tartine using flavorful Early Girl organic dry farmed tomatoes on a thick slather of aioli.When I was eating grain, I enjoyed eating their special porridge - 4-5 grains, trumpet mushrooms, kale, etc. So savory and tasty.

Artisanal breakfast. Anything you order is savory. Hard to park and crowded but still 5 stars.

Excellent, a wonderful culinary experience worth remembering for about the same price as a breakfast burrito at the airport. Hopefully soon to be repeated!

Great place for breakfast. The porridge is out of this world and the Persian breakfast is super tasty

Best brunch weve found in Berkeley. The avo toast, platter with feta+herbs+jam, and eggs are super delicious. There is a bathroom! You just have to ask for it as its not in the cafe.

A haven for hipster parents. The coffee and espresso are great, as is the Persian breakfast with labneh, feta, fresh herbs, jam, and warm pita bread.

They sell the most delicious toast. I tasted a good variety. Their wine and coffee are good too.

Really delicious espresso drinks, porridge & eggs. Really cute tiny space in-between Acme and whatever that wine store is.Baristas are a little rude at times. There are just about 4 tables and some bar-ish seating. Very small space so you cant always expect to find a seat.

Expensive but delicious. Possibly the best cappucino in the east bay

The persian breakfast is my favorite breakfast! Lattes and mochas are on point. This place has never disappointed. Food is always fresh and delicious.

Fresh local ingredients, simply and deliciously prepared, and delectable coffee beans. Also no wifi. Tiny little piece of perfection.

Anytime were anywhere near Bartavelle we try to stop in and get really good espresso and mochi muffins--and for breakfast the porridge is incredible.

The Persian Breakfast board is always good.[update: now serving Heart Coffee (ultra-light roast)!!]

The Persian breakfast is absolutely incredible... A real reason to go out for brunch!!

Quality ingredients, prosciutto is some of the best Ive had. They use heart coffee from Portland and other options as well I believe not quite sure.

Great local Cafe with best bread and coffee to be found in Berkeley. Persian breakfast all day long.

Porridge and coffees are simply amazing w good service, to boot.

Very pretension, but overall good quality.

This is my favorite breakfast stop. Nice menu with great, fast service.

A little pricy for a glass of wine but prosciutto toast was on point. Closes early but a quiet alternative for happy hour.

One of the best cafe/coffeehouses in the bay!!

Small crowded lively and tasty!

Everything from a basic coffee to a nice breakfast or lunch sandwhich, Bartavelle is a tiny little gem in Berkeley great for a quick stop at the bar inside or the tables outside. The staff is friendly (and talented) and the vibe is bright and comforting.

Wonderful small plates and sandwiches, occasional Kermit Lynch wine tastings are great

Really really good coffee, took some time to prepare. But I guess perfection takes time.

Great ice coffee!! And the favorite slice of bread !! Orange Ginger scone delicious!!!
