This is a great local coffee shop! Located on University Avenue, Fellini's is a great option when you're in need of a pick-me-up. They have great pastries, including some vegan options, and the coffee is delicious! This is a walk-thru only. I remember when I was looking at apartments in Berkeley, a realtor told me Fellini's was the best coffee in Berkeley. I assumed she was just saying that so I'd sign for the apartment, but turns out she was onto something! Fellini is right next to Bageltopia, an incredibly delicious bagel shop with great bagel sandwiches. The coffee and bagel combo is elite! Highly recommend. read more

Fellini Coffeebar - Pastries - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Berkeley, California

Poor customer service. Coffee was okay but baristas have bad attitudes. I went up to get my order & wanted to confirm it was mine since the name written in the cup was incorrect. I was ignored the first two times I asked. On the third time, the barista with the buzz cut was very rude and did not want to help me. read more

Grab a bagel next door and head over to this coffee bar. Line moves fast and it's worth the wait.

One of my favorite cafes in Berkeley! The employees are also very kind and take time to greet costumers. Delicious coffee and food

Happened upon this place walking to North Berkeley BART after dropping off my partners car at her mechanics. It's a nice 1ish mile walk to BART. Was feeling like a second cup of coffee and also went with an egg and bacon English muffin thing. Strangest think though about the bacon. It was like it had been cooked and then ground up and probably mixed with fillers and looked like a very thin slice of salami. I mean paper thin. Overall not bad but the bacon had lots to be desired. When the menu says bacon, I expect bacon. Took care of initial hunger pains and need for a coffee fix. Walk up windows and outside seating, some of it covered. Coffee was good. Staff pleasant. They also had pastry items. Typical Berkeley kind of place with posters of plays, readings, events and social justice posters on the walls. I'm not going out of my way to return but if I'm walking by again I'll stop. Middle of the road. It was fine. Side note: no fault of theres but street work with jack hammer was annoying. read more

I stopped by today to buy 2 vanilla matcha lattes and short Caucasian male ignored me for 10 minutes. He walked around, picked up trash from parking lot, drank a coffee and never came to window to take my order. I just left. BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE read more

Solid coffee stand. They get you your drink fast and it always tastes good and is strong. I really love getting a chai w espresso. More of a grab and go spot altho there is some seating outside and a bagel spot next door. read more

Fellini Coffeebar - Chai Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Berkeley, California

As I asked employee for hand sanitizer all she gave me was a huff and "no" as if it was a dismissive and unprofessional response. Instead of offering for assistance or even a polite explanation she simply made me feel as my question needed to be mocked or seen unreasonable. This kind of reaction reflects a clear lack of basic customer service standards. In an environment where hygiene and customer safety should be a priority, refusing such a simple request without courtesy or concern raises serious questions about the establishment's overall sanitary practices. read more

I think Fellini Coffeebar is great and the baristas are friendly and look cool and they're knowledgeable. But Fellini's which is an average little place could be much greater. First, they might consider cleaning the place. Second, they might consider having different pastries now and then and also to light them in a way that could actually see them. Third, they might consider some umbrellas, those large ones. Fourth, they might stay open a little longer. People will come, believe me, because the coffee is fantastic. Fifth, what is definitely not fantastic is the milk. They advertise being organic and yet they use cheap milk that doesn't even eschew rBST. Why not use organic milk and charge fifty cents more to cover the costs. Sixth, get some new tables and chairs. Seven, get a heater for those cold days that are coming. I want people not to think lf me as the King of Negativity. I love going to Fellini's but really the place needs a kick in the ass. If they followed my considerations, Fellini's would burn brighter among the coffee lovers. Their coffee and espresso drinks are fantastic We will see if any of my suggestions are followed. If not, McDonalds is pretty close and much less expensive Good luck read more

The coffee is the BEST! If you're looking for strong coffee, this your place. Not too pricey!

My favorite local coffee shop. Love the espresso and the baristas who have always made the effort to learn my name and also my order. It's that "Cheers" kind of feeling. Only wish they were open a little earlier. read more

One of my all time favorite coffee places. Great service and fantastic variety of drip coffee and espresso drinks. In addition, excellent selection of baked goods to supplement your coffee. They even have pup cups with dog biscuits. Classic Berkeley spot with laid back atmosphere. Highly recommend. read more

Great coffee and lattes. Selection of breakfast items was robust and yummy. Definitely will go back again if visiting UC Berkeley again.

Great coffee, friendly and efficient staff, good prices. Nice selection of pastries. A neighborhood favorite!

The person taking my order was somewhat rude in their interaction with me which was unfortunate. My drink was alright but I was off out by the interaction I had with the cashier/barista. read more

Good coffee, great prices. This is great spot to grab your coffee and morning pastry to-go. There is a patio area to sit, however, it does not have heat lamps or overhead cover, so it is not the "coziest" space to perch with your beverage! That's ok though, because the large parking lot and convenient location make it a great lit stop for any morning commute! I stopped by on a Friday morning just as they were opening (7am) and there was already a small queue forming. Ordered an Americano and a vegan donut. The prices were reasonable and the coffee came quick and hot! What more do you need really? read more

Fellini Coffeebar - Order and pickup line at the coffeebar - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Berkeley, California

Can't complain about anything here. It's in a little side street and has a parking lot attached so no need to worry about street parking. Probably the best priced coffee in the area. 16oz latte for less than $5 is a steal. Wouldn't say it was the best latte that I have ever had far from the worst. It definitely hit the caffeine need that I had. Haven't tried any of the baked goods so will need to do that at some point. But I've tried the breakfast burritos and sandwiches. Pretty sure they're pre-packaged and microwaved (at least looking at how the cheese oozed from my sandwich) but doesn't mean they weren't tasty. Will definitely be back and will try out one of the pastries. read more

Obsessed with this stand! Used to be my favorite as a Berkeley resident and continues to be. Delicious, local, and organic goods for most diets. The energy is great! Came by with my pups to get a coffee before the dog park and Joey helped me out with amazing service- he basically predicted my order. Love the vibe and ambiance of the outside seats outside too. read more

I really like this shop. Everyone there is always friendly and I haven't had a bad drink yet.

I'm not a morning person but I make it a point to stop here before I start work because, well, I love this place. The veggie quiche is delicious and it's their Mexican Mocha I just can't get enough of; it packs a nice amount of caffeine with two espresso shots and it's lightly sweetened with whipped cream. Also, I loved how they support Ukraine by selling the refugees' homemade baked pastries. read more

I always see a line when I drive by this place so I decided to try it out. My first time will be my last. The service was absolutely horrendous. I felt like I was bothering the lady when I was ordering, you know the arrogant bartender feel. She wasn't paying attention and seemed bothered. She mistook my order and proceeded to berate me when I told her the order was wrong. Instead of apologizing she made a big deal out of it. I was surprised and didn't really want to make a big deal out of it so I just took her mistake. I would avoid this place like the plague if I were you. Not worth your time or money. Trash place and trash people. read more

** The following review reflects my experience prior to the shelter-in-place order currently in effect. ** Not by intention, but this may be the model for the post-COVID-19 coffee house. It's a walk-up operation in a small building with no indoor tables. It wouldn't take much to eliminate the human interaction completely. Maybe they could turn the order window into a revolving window like at the more paranoid bank branches. It would be worth the effort since the $2.75 Cafe au Lait was quite satisfying (photo: https://bit.ly/3bm7bLt). There were lots of baked goods if you need the indulgence. You deserve it during these dark times. COFFEE - 4 stars...smooth organic brews served here AMBIANCE - 3 stars...it's a walk-up so not much to say SERVICE - 4 stars...pretty quick TOTAL - 4 stars...a model of cafes to come RELATED - Looking for coffee in the East Bay?

A wonderful local spot. Drinks are lovingly made, great pasteries and it is nice to sit outside

This a lottle kiosk type coffee bar in a parking lot. No drive-in available, only walk-up. Service was fast and my green tea was good. The parking was easy and there were benches to use at your convenience. There seem to be a nice selection of coffees and several varieties of green tea including Jasmine. I believe they so had a few food selections as well. The cashier accomodated my needs and was friendly. I will co.e back again when im in the area. read more

I've always driven by Fellini Coffee bar and was curious to try it due to the long lines. Finally was able to attend this morning. While there is a parking lot here, I would recommend street parking since a lot of customers were physically distancing themselves by standing in the street. There were a variety of pastries and hot and cold beverages. I ordered a 20 oz iced white Chocolate frappe (delicious!!!) and an almond croissant. Both excellent choices. There are a few tables and chairs outdoors that customers were using. Pros: -delicious coffee -variety of pastry items -parking lot for customers Cons: -n/a read more

Friendly staff, excellent coffee, great member of the community. Line moves quick, lots of seating.

I would pass by this spot every time I drive by university, and I was always meaning to try it. I finally did today! There is parking so you don't even have to worry about street parking. I love the storefront it seems like a cute drive thru/pick up. There is also outdoor seating. I ordered the iced coffee and it is reasonably priced for $2.95 for 16 ounces. The coffee was bold and more "roasty" in flavor - probably a blend slightly darker than medium. I noticed there was a Mexican mocha on their menu... seems interesting to try! I think I would come by given the reasonable prices and easy parking/access. read more

This was a highlight of my shelter-in-place walk yesterday. I had a perfect cappuccino--lovely thick foam, and the espresso wasn't burnt or too hot. They have a rich array of pastries from local bakeries. Morning buns and bran muffins stood out as looking especially tasty. Fellini Coffeebar had always been an exterior stand, so it is already set up for low contact ordering and pickup. Walk up, or use their parking lot. read more

Always good coffee and tea! I am truly a fan. Makes my day with every purchase. I hope the are open forever! My favorite is hot chai latte with extra chai. Looking forward to my next trip already. See you guys soon! read more

Fellini Coffeebar - April 21, 2020 - open again for walk-up service! Thanks folks, we'll be right over! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Berkeley, California

Came across this cute little coffee shop while I was walking around Berkeley awhile back. I was waiting for a friend and I ended up getting them an iced americano. I got myself a vegan donut (too bad I forgot to take a picture of it because I was too hungry). The americano and the vegan donut in total came out to be $6.50 which is really cheap! Really wish I lived around the area because I could totally see myself coming here just for the bargain deal. I tried my friend's americano and it was actually pretty decent. The vegan donut wasn't too bad either (though I guess its hard to say since I scarfed it before being able to enjoy it lol, my friend seemed entertained though haha). Props to the owner for the rec. Unfortunately, Its a little bit out of my way to get there, but there is a lot of parking so you wouldn't have to worry about looking for parking while heading over there. Wouldn't mind coming back here again to try their other pastries maybe if I'm around the area again. read more

Calling all dog owners taking a stroll to the Berkeley Marina on a cold, foggy, Sunday morning with your fur baby and needing a quick and delicious hot cup of coffee and a pastry to warm up! Fellini Coffee Bar is the spot for you. This dog-friendly cafe is located directly across the street from the Target on University Avenue. It is a walk-up-to-the-window-to-order type of cafe, with a built-in parking lot right in front and an outdoor seating area in the back. They offer a huge variety of pastries, both savory and sweet (including vegan donuts!) espresso drinks, and good-old fashioned drip brew at reasonable prices. For nom-noms, I highly recommend the Seasonal Veggie Scone (flavorful, crispy, and super tender!) and a warmed-up Bacon Onion Croissant (rich and satisfying!) They jam to best tunes to get your day going... AND the best part- they give out free dog treats to every dog! It's fun to take your dog, your coffee, your pastry, and a good friend with their dog to the seating area in the back, where all the dogs can mix & mingle while you sip on a hot cup of joe with a friend. Good friends, good eats, and good dogs! Highly recommend! read more

The perfect spot for caffeine and a quick bite on the go! It was buzzing on the Saturday morning we stopped by on the way to Napa and I totally see why. For such a small spot, they have a wide selection of drinks, sweet snacks, and savory bites. I had a mocha and sausage breakfast burrito, which were both delicious (with the mocha being equipped with some cute foam art). Despite the crowd, we got our order taken and served pretty quick. There is outside seating if you want to stay and chill and free parking right next to the joint. Highly recommend. read more

This place is a great find during normal times and is even better during COVID. They have an exterior walk up window, the staff is super friendly, and even if there is a line it moves quickly enough. I generally get the iced latte here and it's always nice and smooth. The vanilla latte is also tasty. Just an FYI, they have iced coffee, but not cold brew. In terms of eats - there's always a large assortment of fresh baked goods that are also solid (scones, morning buns, Pebble's vegan donuts etc). read more

Cute little coffee shop that I've been wanting to try out due to the long lines I see in the mornings!
