Tucked away in the center of campus is it’s best cafe. Students line the wall here with laptops open studying something of greatness I’m sure. The patio out back is huge, with room for at least a hundred people. Coffee is always fresh and the service is good.

Great historic place to sit and sip great coffee, study, or grab a delicious snack. Variety of foods and drinks in a spot that represents the Free Speech Movement at Cal. Staff are friendly and provide fast service, the indoors is decorated to match its past, and the outdoor seating area is more than spacious :)

Staff is great here, food is freshly made and the coffee is good for both grab'n'go and fancier drinks. There's usually seating outside, inside can get crowded most of the day. Reasonably priced to boot. Good for meetings.

I called to check, employee said they do not have indoor dining/seating at the moment. 11/9/2021. They do appear to have patio seating with a covered awning.

Five stars because it's the only place open late on campus. Law of supply and demand. The coffee itself is pretty bad and really strong. Great to keep you going during an all nighter.

One of the oldest and most iconic cafes on the Berkeley campus, named after Cal's Free Speech Movement. Located in the heart of the campus in Moffitt Library, this cafe fuels students through late nights and finals week. The coffee itself isn't very spectacular and their service highly depends on the time of the day.

Solid coffee! Definitely an awesome place to hit up when you forget your coffee for the day and are in a rush. Do wish they offered the larger 20 ounce cup for drip coffee.

It's on campus. It's usually fast. Be sure to try the spiders and also their hot ciders.
