I have come by a few times just to pick up via Snackpass, but I have yet to study inside. Inside is super cute with floor/cushion seats and a few outside tables, but it's on a slant so I would not (lol). I alter between: Iced Ceremonial Matcha Latte w/ whole milk and house crema: 4.5/5 Definitely a good matcha in the area! I can taste it and the house crema bumps it up a notch. Iced Hojicha Latte with soy milk and house crema: 5/5 My go-to drink here, I get it more than the matcha. House crema must have with it!

Small cafe in Berkeley with a beautiful, minimalist, modern interior. Finals week is this week, and I needed somewhere with ample seating, outlets, free WiFi, and a calm vibe. Mind Coffee delivered on everything I needed! It also helps that many other college students were studying or working when I came around 6pm. I also like that they're open late (10pm) compared to other cafes in the area. I ordered the inner peace tea which comes in a small glass carafe. Very calming and I liked the inclusion of kava root! Would definitely come back. (:

A small and narrow café that is quite busy every time I go. You can always find people studying on tables and the floor!! (floor cushions) My go-to drink is the Matcha Einspanner, so creamy and sweet. The other drinks are pretty standard along with the pastries. Plenty of space for street parking.

Matcha!!! First impressions: relatively small store, quite busy. There is some seating, but lots of people studying - you'd have to get there quite early to snatch a spot. I got the ceremonial grade matcha latte with oat milk and less sweetness. This was my first time trying matcha, but I decided to try it here after seeing all the good reviews. And honestly, I'd agree! It's pretty decent matcha - creamy and not watery tasting at all. I'd definitely want to try the "Let your barista choose" option next time!!

Very modern, airy look. May be more comfortable for those shorter than 5'5" as the seat plushies left very little space to stretch my legs out-- but I appreciate the Japandi-esque design and creativity. LET YOUR BARISTA CHOOSE: I LOVE that they have this option! Yay for solutions to decision paralysis :D I answered a few questions about sweetness, milk options, etc., and my drink came out. No details given (surprise!) but it tasted like a coffee latte with dates, cinnamon, and some other spices. PSL-adjacent but less sweet! Glad I got to try a new drink :-) Soooooo their einspanner drinks were sold out when we got here ;_; Will have to come back another time! NOTE: FOR STREET PARKING, MAKE SURE TO PAY AT THE METER OR ONLINE. AND ADD MORE TIME IF NEEDED. We saw 4 cars get ticketed in a row...

In spite of its terrible parking situation and very limited seating availability, Mind is one of the more popular study spots in the area. Definitely consider walking or taking public transit, and if you do decide to drive, know that the meter maids here are particularly active - one visit I saw 3 cars around me get ticketed in a two hour time span. There are only 4 regular tables, with the rest of the seating options being firm beanbags and knee-high surfaces. Mind has some of the closest interior decor I've seen to some of my favorite coffee shops in LA - a clean, bright aesthetic that showcases their process. Staff are lovely and willing to answer any questions, and although drinks do take a little longer to come out they're worth the wait. Cardamom Matcha Mindspanner: a personalized seasonal recommendation from one of their baristas. Matcha and cardamom taste were evenly matched and perfectly sweet - the matcha in particular tasted fairly high quality. Whipped cream was fantastic and very spoonable. Hojicha Mindspanner: wanted to see how they would do one of my favorite flavors and Mind did not disappoint. Flavor was authentic and not overwhelming. See above for notes on cream. Will be back!

after a great visit to berkeley, we stopped at a cafe before leaving to home. i really wanted to try an einspanner from here! the matcha was good, but in my experience, it was a little expensive and not super memorable. the inside is pretty small, i'm not sure i would recommend hanging out in here. but it was cute and minimalist. they had kiosks to order from and it was pretty quick.

Solid coffee shop near campus. It is small so unless you're there early and camp out, you're not likely to find a spot to do work. Also some of their spots are little cushions on the ground and not the most comfortable for spending more than 5 minutes there. You order at a little kiosk near the counter. Straightforward and no problems. I got a regular latte and a twice baked hazelnut chocolate croissant. Decent latte, was pricey but about average for Berkeley. The croissant while amazingly delicious was incredibly rich. Maybe share it with a friend and definitely have something caffeinated to cut through the richness. Give it a shot! But maybe take it to go and find somewhere else to work.

Super cute space and very aesthetic I've tried their hojicha, orange blossom latte, and mindspanner (bigger einspanner). Loved the hojicha and minspanner! Employees are friendly too Interior is so cute and prices are reasonable.

I stopped by for a to try the hojicha einspaner which was really good! I've never had an einspaner before and it seemed like a latte with luscious dollops of whip cream. Super pretty drink! The cafe is narrow with some seating and outlets. They have Snackpass so you can order ahead. Although I need to comment on how there was no AC on a super hot summer day.
