The breakfast we had was really good and very tasty.The cappuccino was even better, the best coffee of the city. The barista is very good in making different toppings. The staff is very friendly.

I love this place! The milk tea boba is sooo amazing, and the boba consistency is spot on. The staff are all very friendly and the cafe is so cute! Would definitely recommend this place!

A really nice and nostalgic coffee shop run by students. A little bit crowded during the day obviously... but fast and friendly service. The coffee seems a little watered down compared to coffee bean but its still pretty good. The pastries and snacks all seem over-priced and seem unhealthy and are probably full of High Fructose Corn Syrup and other cheap ingredients that make me fat. I wish there was just a small cookie for 50 cents to have a bit or two with my coffee. The place could really use a renovation but at the same time the classic setup reminds me of my days as a student. Im so glad UCLA didnt allow Starbucks or some other greedy corporation to do business on campus. Please upgrade the piano, and add some real plants, change the carpet, maybe refurbish some of the other features. Overall I give it 5 stars, I love being able to sit by the windows and enjoy a little cool breeze from the courtyard.

Staff was friendly and very helpful, both myself and my wife got the Mediterranean blend, it was delicious, would definitely come here over anywhere else, even if it meant driving out of the way,

One of the best coffee shops out there. Most of the people working there are UCLA students. Very cozy environment indoors and - when its sunny - a very nice sitting area outside. Serves great coffee that is not too pricey. My favorite hangout place.

Can be hard to find a seat. Their iced vanilla and caramel lattes are really sweet, I hope they dont add too much syrup in the future. Oat milk would also be a nice option for non-dairy substitutes.

This is a very nice looking Cafe on the 2nd floor of Kerckhoff Hall on the main UCLA campus. The building is very impressive and historic. The interior of the Cafe has alot of character with antique looking tables, chairs and medieval style windows. There is also large courtyard seating next to the Cafe.The Coffee, mixed blend, I had was very good as were the raspberry and cinnamon pastries.This Cafe is very conducive to studying and meeting people in a warm, classical atmosphere.The Staff is also excellent.

Really nice place! Its a good place to get coffee and have a test during the spare time between classes. Recommend the sweet iced coffee (a little too sweet.)

Review №11

Extremely packed during the week and getting a table is nigh impossible. but I love this place. Favorite spot to study. If you like ambient noise, on the louder side, this place is for you.

Review №12

Favorite coffeehouse on Ucla campus. Comfy chairs, good music, good coffee & donuts! Amongst other food like sushi. Can be crowded and sometimes too loud if you want to study but overall, a gem.

Review №13

Decent coffee house on the UCLA campus. Kind of a long wait for an iced mocha, but there was plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Curious to know what the building was before a coffee shop.

Review №14

Given that its one of the few offerings on campus, I am usually stuck with it, like it or not. Be sure to give them your order loudly and clearly, and repeat it again before you pay. They screw up at least one drink a week for me despite doing everything I can to force them into competence. If there were options, Id recommend avoiding this place.

Review №15

I love that there is a good coffee shop right in the middle of campus. I am a big fan of their iced tea and regular coffee, the chai tea latte was too sweet for my taste. They also have a decent assortment of snacks/lunch options. Service speed just kind of depends on the time of day and who is working, if you are trying to grab-n-go leave yourself a little extra time just in case.

Review №16

I got an iced coffee here, too bad they dont have cold brew. It was fine, but that was about it. Even on a Wednesday afternoon in the summer this place was totally full and I had a hard time finding a table. So I assume that says something for the place, although that something could just be that it is a coffee shop on a big college campus.

Students mess hall for java. Always busy hey even comes with an old school toaster. Bring your own bagels or bread (byob) on the way to the frat hall party. #Gobruins

Busy coffee shop with decent prices, good brews, and friendly staff. I dig their music selection but it can get loud when the place is busy. Not a good place if you’re looking to get away from it all.

Review №21

As college shops go its pretty good. Coffee tends to be on the harder side but thats how it is at most places on campus. Thats why I opt for the ice blended coffees.

The line can be a little long and it can be hard to find a seat sometimes. Usually its better to just get a latte and go outside where there is a large patio area.

Its in a beautiful building inside of UCLA. Great atmosphere and surrounding area. The coffee tastes good too.

Review №26

Prices are on par with Starbucks and peets but quality is not. Unless you absolutely need a latte, etc, I prefer going to SEAS cafe where their coffee starts at $0.85 and their quality is quite reasonable for the price.

Review №27

Nice environment, but the service is highly inconsistent. Some employees put coffee in items that are labeled caffeine-free. Jimmys is the better coffee shop on campus.

It has good coffee and a variety of quick bite offerings but the place is always packed and expect a line.

The tea was OK but I wanted a tea latte made with actual tea bags. Its a great place to get some studying done.

Review №30

Its a good place to hang out with friends and study. however the music selection is awful. very noisy and very loud. Its quite disturbing honestly. Regardless if you dont need to connect to a power point or can stand summer heat, theres a lot of outside seating (dont even have to order a drink and theres free wifi everywhere on UCLA campus - with some email reception limitation tho). chairs might be dusty outside and it could get quite windy. no matter what personally i do prefer sitting outside instead.

Go for the day old goods! Theyre sometimes half the cost of the fresh baked goods but just as tasty!

Review №32

The thing that I like about this place is that the coffee has a very good taste, unlike other places that seem to be more sugar that anything.

Little caffeine trick. Id your coffee is lacking, stop by a student coffeeshop. They make that stuff diesel strong.

I was a PostDoc from 2001 to 2003 at the UCLA - doing research on Fullerenes. The morning coffee at the Kerckhoff Coffee House was part of my morning routine and still today I use my Kerckhoff mugs to drink coffe at home! I was not anymore at the Kerckhoff since 2003, when I left the UCLA at the end of my PostDoc.

Todays generous trip is UCLA. If you use it to integrate into college life, you will have to take a lunch at the student cafeteria! 😆Estimated that there is even a sushi.The price is economical (although the sushi is really numb), but the atmosphere is good and comfortable.Had a nice time ☕
