came to berkeley a few weeks ago and decided to check out this cafe. we ordered the lavender latte which was spectacularly made — the aroma was delightful and it had the perfect amount of sweetness with latte art. we ordered the chicken croffle which was great!! the chicken was juicy and it was crunchy and perfectly flavored. we ordered the red bean bingsu after and it was a great dessert to finish the meal with. came at 10:30 on a monday and there was no wait and a comfortable quiet atmosphere

i’ve wanted to come here for quite a bit, and finally did. came around 1 and it was fairly empty. ordered the salmon egg benedict ($19) and the chicken and croffle ($14.5). i would recommend skipping the salmon egg benedict. the price is steep for thin, small, tasteless store bought english muffins. my mom said her chicken and croffle was good though.

Food tasted great and plated well, but the wait time, service and location sours the experience.
Chicken and Croffle ($16): comes with a delicious spicy syrup with a great kick. The Croffle was made fresh and was buttery and soft which absorbed the syrup and paired well. The chicken was tender and had a great crust that reminded me of Taiwanese street chicken.
Service: I’m not sure if the service was disappointing due to the large influx of customers, but orders took long to come out and tables were not bussed by the customers properly. A friend I went with had to wait about 25-30 minutes for their order and another friend had their order completely mistaken. Also, the restroom was out of order.
Atmosphere: the space was small with very limiting seating.

We rarely visit this neighborhood, so we were pleasantly surprised to discover this place. It’s an ideal spot for work, study, or meetings. The food was also excellent and offered creative twists, such as cappuccino muffins, spicy basil croffles, and bibim salads.
The service was prompt and the staff was friendly. However, the downside was parking, which was challenging to find a safe spot without worrying about getting towed.

Came to UC Berkeley for a weekend and I found this gem. I can’t help myself to come two days in a roll for breakfast simply just for cafe latte and salmon avocado toast. Simple ingredients but tasty.. I lover spreading drills on the salmon toast and I love the creamy but not over! I love seeing the same person sitting beside me from yesterday!

The interior is surprisingly very spacious. Menu has a great variety of items but I decided on the salmon avocado toast & standard latte for breakfast. Both were great & the sandwich ingredients tasted fresh. Great for people watching as you enjoy your morning drink.

With only having seen the pic for fried chicken, was expecting like southern Cajun place but I was hugely mistaken. Korean fusion that hit the fried chicken and croffle mark with a bang! There was a huge table for a family meal and let me tell you – we finished EVERYTHING. Fried chicken and croffle was a banger!! The chicken was juicy, crispy, with the crunchy waffle made with crossaint and a side of spicy (Just enough) syrup. That’ll be living in my head rent-free but drooling for a very long time. The kids also loveddddd it so much! The bulgogi sando was also super delicious. Drinks – gingerbread Chai Latte warmed our souls. Such friendly staff with a laid-back ambiance and we’re all here for it!

This is a hidden gem. We came here for brunch today and we were pleasantly surprised. I ordered the Bibim Salad with bulgogi and it was really good. My wife got the Croque Madame and she liked it very much too. We also tried the red bean bingsu, which is a Korean shaved ice dessert and it’s really yummy. The service was fast and friendly. We’ll definitely come back to try other dishes.

If I could give 10 stars I would!! First off I was debating crossing the bridge to try this place after I saw a TikTok about their food and thought it looked and sounded delish but still wasn’t sure if I wanted to make the drive over and then have to pay the toll to get back. BOY THANK GOODNESS I WENT!!! I can’t even begin to describe the delicious creation that is their cruffle- truly mouth watering innovation. The crunch and fluffy amazing goodness is one of the most perfect bites of food I’ve ever had. I thought that would be the biggest surprise but no- the amount of food you get for the price is beyond!! I have never gotten so much chicken with a dish of chicken and ‘waffles’, or cruffle in this case, and better yet so juicy and the batter had a great taste and crunch. The pictures show a how much chicken you get it’s beyond for the price. I was absolutely shocked!! The amount of food for price could have been double and it would be well worth it. I have not written many reviews or been active on yelp but this establishment is the best gem of a place that I know I will be eating at every chance I get. I’m still in shock and awe at the taste of this unbelievable food!!! And the cherry on top? This place has the bestttt customer service. They are so kind and helpful and welcoming. It’s such a delight to dine in and interact with the staff. I’m so happy I took the chance and drove here to grab brunch. I am already planning what I want to get next!!! If you decided to come grab some food here I would highly suggest adding another croffle or two to your order just in case!!! Even if you don’t finish it it’s amazing the next day heated up!!!
