We tried a basic caramel iced coffee and it was good. Staff was friendly and fast.

Pastries looked yummy but we didn’t try anything since we had another place in mind.

Will definitely go back to try some sweets.

Street parking is hard to find in general in Berkeley.

We went during the week and it wasn’t busy at all and found parking in a nearby lot across the street.

The twins, Usen(I apologize for spelling your name incorrectly) and Ace were a delight! Oakland has many treasures but Café Parisien was the highlight of my food experience. There were many options, all made beautifully and with love. We had the hazelnut croissant, croque monsieur, brownie, orange bread, raspberry danish, café noisette, and a London fog. I have never been so satisfied by pastries and a delicious baked sandwich before! I highly recommend this café to locals and tourists. Thank you! I hope to see you soon. Love from AZ

A true French treasure in the heart of Berkeley. The pastries are exceptional—light, buttery, and perfectly crafted, rivaling those found in Paris. The café’s warm atmosphere and attentive staff make each visit a delightful experience. Whether for a morning croissant and coffee or an afternoon treat, this shop consistently delivers excellence. An absolute must-try for pastry lovers. Which I would like to call it “little PARIS in Berkeley”

Friendly service. Not too busy in the late evening on a weekend. I would prefer a shorter Americano. Napoleon was good. It was quiet enough to have a comfortable level of conversation and there were also people studying

Espresso is consistently amazing, never bitter, never burnt. The two owner brothers bake everything themselves overnight!! So every morning you’re greeted with cases full of fresh, beautifully crafted pastries.
Don’t miss the coffee noisette, the horseshoe pastry and the petite four cookies.
Get there early – their croissants are truly exceptional and often sell out! Thank you, guys!

This is definitely favorite cafe in Berkeley! Good coffee drinks and sandwiches with a very cozy atmosphere, but the can’t miss standout is the fantastic selection of pastries that could rival any French bakery. Everything I’ve had here has been absolutely fantastic and the experience is bolstered by the service from the two twin brothers who run the shop. Some of the friendliest folks around, they will welcome you in and make you feel completely at home.

I got Diabetes but idc!

It’s our second time here and I can really say that their food and warm service will make u really come back here.

OZ and his brother are really nice and have good recommendations. Now, I got pastries for another 4days (cause I got good self control with sweets lol)

We were also able to get a free chocolate cake from OZ!!!

Come & visit Cafe Parisien!

Parking was easy by the time we came.

this is my favorite local cafe! there’s a fantastic rotation of pastries every day, it’s open until the evening, and the brothers that run the cafe are so friendly and personable. it’s an amazing place to sit and draw, people watch, or read with a warm drink beside you.

This café is genuinely one of the cutest spots I’ve studied at. I’m writing this review because I was searching for a new café to try between classes, and after some exploring, this one popped up. I checked Yelp for reviews on the space, drinks, and pastries but found little information online. Still, since I had already been to most cafés in Berkeley, I decided to give it a shot—and I’m so glad I did.
The moment I walked in, I smiled. The cozy lighting, bright red balloons, and beautifully displayed pastries created such a warm and inviting atmosphere. I ordered a café latte (solid 4/5 for taste and well-priced for Berkeley) and easily found a spacious three-person table to study at, as it wasn’t too crowded. Right away, I noticed how attentive the staff was—one of the owners (as I learned later on) quickly cleaned up a nearby table and even set aside a forgotten water bottle in case the customer returned. Sure enough, when the customer came back looking for it, the owner immediately handed it to them.
The hospitality here is unmatched. The owner personally brought my drink to my table and even gave me a free pastry to try! I later learned that this is a family-run business owned by twin French-Algerian brothers, which made me appreciate the café even more. The sense of community was evident—one customer in a wheelchair came in for their birthday, and the owner helped them pick out the perfect cake. It was also great to see that the café is wheelchair accessible, making it a welcoming space for everyone.
I love the ambiance, the kindness of the staff, and the study-friendly setup. For students and employees, it’s a great spot to work, with affordable house coffee refills. My only critique? The brownie is a bit pricey at $6.50. But overall, I’ll definitely be coming back!

Nice coffee and pastries! My friends recommended me the delicious bagels, but I was full so I will try the next time. Moreover, the managers are hospitable and courteous . Il aussi parle français . To sum up, this is a wonderful place for pleasure, you can enjoy your brunch, afternoon coffee and relax.
