They guy working the cash register got offended and answered rudely when I asked if their OJ was freshly squeezed or not.

I always go there cause I study in Berkeley city college. I order a cup of Mocha every time...though there's no whipped cream on top, I still enjoy it. It's just 3.25 for a small mocha, what a good deal!! Wifi is provided and I like spending my time there during a lesson break read more

K's Coffee House - Italian salad $2.99 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Berkeley, California

Ordered a sandwich. Not many people inside. No line. You fill out a little order sheet and you hand it to them. The cashier person mentioned that they didnt have lettuce, I was so hungry I said it was fine. Now that I think of it I don't know if the guy washed his hands... eek. Anyway, I got my seven Dollar sandwich to go and was on my way. I was so hungry that took a bite at a red light. The bread (sourdough sliced) tasted old and was falling apart. I love sourdough and I know what fresh/old taste like. I also noticed that they had placed both mayo and mustard on one side. I couldn't get myself to take another bite. I give two stars bc the customer service was neither friendly nor rude, ex. "what do you want? Okay. $. Thanks". But the turkey sandwich on sourdough was the worst. Maybe i went on a bad day but given all the other places around, I won't risk going back. read more

The food is really poor quality. I ordered a breakfast burrito, the guy put a cheap microwave burrito in the microwave and have it to me at like 300 degree. It is basically 7-11 food disguised as a cafe. If you are starving and nothing else is open and you will eat anything, then this place is a viable option read more

I like that I don't have to walk too far. It's nice clean and safe spot to get a cup of coffee right before class and reasonably priced.

I LOVE THIS PLACE. I eat lunch here almost every single day, and sometimes stop in for breakfast. The prices are delightfully low, especially considering the amount of food you get for it. A classic--the cheese bagel with cream cheese-- is a great example. They don't skimp on giving you cream cheese. They have a delicious assortment of muffins and breads, as well as serving lots of different kinds of coffee, both hot and iced. It's not a fancy cafe, but is better than any fancy cafe I've ever been to. The people who work there are always in a good mood and are super helpful. Highly recommend stopping by!!!! Service: 10/10 Food: 10/10 Everything: 10/10 I LOVE K'S!! read more

Coming out and going in to BCC, I never miss to stop by this little coffee house to admire the smile they always give me. It's understandable to have bad days, sometimes! I would go there every morning and noon to get either coffee or tea and I get the service I expect , which is "a decent service". Being an everyday customer, i always enjoyed their service... They have tasty and fresh bagels that I order every time I walk in. The atmosphere and ambiance is cozy, comfortable and especially with free Wi-Fi...what would you want more!!!????? Keep the GOOD WORK guys! read more

K's is truly my home away from home. From the kind smiles of the K's men to the delectable AND affordable cheese bagels with cream cheese to the clean bathroom to the cozy ambiance, you simply can't beat K's Internet Cafe. A short block away from Berkeley High School, this establishment has been making students happy for many years, and hopefully will continue to do so for many more. One day, I decided to go out of my comfort zone (cheese bagel with cream cheese) and try one of the chicken calzones. I didn't have high expectations, but I was floored. It's served with an outstanding hot sauce. I would definitely recommend this dish. Another favorite of mine is the pecan bars, which are sublime. Lastly, the chai latte and the Thai iced tea are my favorite beverages. The men of K's are basically saints. Their service is faster than lightning and their smiles warm even the coldest of hearts. Thank you K's for gracing us with your presence! We love you. ---Your biggest fans read more

Sipping on the strongest cup of latte I've had in a while, I'm sitting at K's this morning waiting for my next appointment. The ambiance is modest but clean and spacious with scenic oil paintings and mirrors on the walls and soothing Algerian music in the background. The menu features three types of breakfast burritos and two separate listings for coffee and sandwiches and salads. The morning foot traffic has been heavy since my arrival, and there are number of students from the local city college taking advantage of their free WiFi while waiting for their next class. My bagel with jelly ($1.99) is fresh and nicely toasted, and soy latte ($3.25) is very good and the most perfect wake up call I've had in a while. Service is very personable and responsive. I will definitely come back to check out their sandwiches. 3.5 stars. read more

I love it here. I am here right now, the wireless works really great. They made my bagel perfectly toasted and the coffee (White Chocolate Mocha) is good tasting too. read more

This place has grown on me. They've obviously worked to make it more homey and personal since opening -- and their work has paid off! I like the comfy seating, the extremely clean surroundings, the good coffee, and the proliferation of outlets for wifi addicts like me. It's great to have another reliable coffee joint to hit up so close to home. read more

I finally understand why the ratings are so low for this place. I always pass by this place on my way to work and I finally decided to check it out, despite all the warnings on Yelp. The service is horrible. I don't know why but I almost want to cry every time I interact with the cashier. There's something so cold and intimidating about the way he speaks with you and I'm not asking for a hug or a compliment but a smile couldn't hurt. I could overlook bad service if the coffee and pastries were good but noooopeee. Their coffee tastes like diluted dirt. Their pastries are also stale and hard to digest. The odd thing is that for so many complaints on Yelp this place gets quite packed in the morning and around noon. I suppose K's lucked out with location because it's downtown where a lot of people work and it's also beside Berkeley City College. I strongly advise against coming here. Check out Nuha's or Au Coquelet which are nearby or if you happen to pass by Starbucks or Peet's on your way downtown definitely stick to those places! read more

Every Berkeley High student's life would be 100% worse if this cafe didn't exist. All of the employees are so nice! They make wonderful classic bagels with no frills. They also have plenty of caffeinated drinks. It's a perfect place to go when in need of good and drink when in a rush. There is also lots of seating for students to sit when skipping class (bhs students) or in between classes (bcc students). One time I didn't have enough money so the men gave me a free bagel. Also they have fruit and gum. In conclusion this place is awesome. Ignore all the reviews less that 4 stars. read more

I come here occasionally before class. I've had a variety of their food and it's always yummy, especially their beef piroshki. Their espresso drinks are stronger than you'd get at peets or starbucks, and I think it's reasonably priced! Service is fast too. read more

There is no ambiance to speak of, but their asiago cheese bagel toasted is actually East Coast level and less than $2. I am secretly addicted. read more

This was our first stop of the day in Berkeley visiting from Lawrence, Kansas. Lawrence has no shortage of great coffee shops, so i can be picky. Long and short of it: Coffee is good, Burritos are good. All is good, but not great. Would like to see some healthier options in addition to the pastries. Overall, K's fulfilled its function competently. read more

These folks have put a lot of effort into making a cafe seating area and providing 3 internet work stations. However, for quality and selection of food items for the office worker, they really can't compete with the Nuha Cafe, around the corner. read more

Oh my god costumer service is horrible. I work at coffee shop I would understand why he acted that cold and impolite if I asked very hard order but I ordered small steam milk in large cup bcuz I want to put water in there and guy who always work there gave me this weird stare and asked me why I want large cup... WTH... If course bcuz I wanted it in large cup. It pissed me off big time in the morning and for that guy thanks for ruining my morning . read more

I like K's for the strong coffee and the service. They are quick and straight forward. I actually really appreciated the service of a young man working behind the counter that was super friendly and welcoming last summer. I believe in supporting the small mom and pop stores/shops where the people care about their place. This is one of those places. They care about each other and where they work and it shows with their service. read more

This is next door to Berkeley City College. A great spot for coffee with Internet access. The two guys running the cafe are really nice.

This is the best beagle place in Berkeley ! The staff are nice and helpful.definitely I will come back.

charged me a $1 for a cup of hot water. it's not wise to rip people off when Starbucks is just around the corner. read more

Very poor service. Very rude and cheapscapes. Wouldn't recommend because they're overpriced for the quality of their food. Plenty of other places. I would AVOID this place. read more

Considering who this cafe is for - primarily Berkeley City College Students - it's just about as good as they come. The menu ranges from granola locally made items to quick comfort food, the coffee's hot (or cold), and the service is speedy enough for a half hour lunch break. Finding a locally owned business with good customer service is rare. Very much worth the occasional lunch break in-between, or a place to hang out before a class. read more

I come in here for coffee between classes and today I brilliantly spilled my large coffee all over my table and the floor. The Batista promptly cleaned the area and gave me a free coffee and was nothing more than pleasant. I always loved coming here but the service I got today makes me very grateful this cafe is next to my campus. These guys work very hard and are always sweet, totally recommend a visit!! read more

Excellent food, coffee and service. Free wifi and computers to rent. Ici on parle Francais. Orders accepted in French as well as English. John read more

This place is great! As many said, it may lack that 'dim lighted, overpriced impractical junk everywhere' cafe "ambiance", but their coffee, as well as baked goods/bagels are delish and cheap. The staff is very nice; they might not be super chatty but that's fine by me since I'm there for... caffeine. It's roomy; plenty of chairs everywhere to sit and study, and they are always playing awesome (Middle Eastern?) music. If I wasn't as lazy as I am, I'd walk there everyday. read more

This is one of my favorite coffee shops and I visit about four times a week for coffee (and sometimes food) before work. The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. If they can help you in any way, they will. Good coffee and food, quick service, free wi-fi, a TV for sports events (esp. soccer), and extra computers if you need an internet connection. read more

If the shop wasn't so convenient and close to my school, I would not return. The prices are a bit high for their products but for their location it makes sense. The costumer service is terrible though. The men that work there dont acknowledge you when you order in the way you would like in a small coffee shop and Ive never been offered my receipt after using my card to make sure the right about was charged. read more

The staffs are really kind and friendly. I recommend not only coffee but also steamed soy milk. It's not so noisy and good place for studying or reading books. I go this store everyday. I like K's coffee. Thank you read more

This is a true gem in the Berkeley City College/City Hall neighborhood. The people who run it are great!!! They will always help, and they are not trying to bleed every last dollar from their customers. We use them regularly for catering, and they are especially good for breakfast. The coffee is maybe on the weak side, but not terribly. This is a place where it's almost always possible to sit down and hang for a bit. read more

I have been getting my coffee and bagel cream cheese at k's cafe since I started school at bcc so far they are very consistent at what they are doing coffee is real ! I love strong dark coffee and the service is not bad either. If you at bcc or work around you should go and try their coffee you will not be disappointed . read more

I went there because class was starting in ten minutes and i wanted coffee! I had never been there, and starbucks was 4 blocks away. So i decided to give them a try. I got a Caramel Macchiato. It was good. A little too sweet for my taste. But the only con i found was that it wasnt hot... It was warm. And i like hot hot drinks... when they're ment to be hot. Other than that, looks like a nice, clean place read more

Charged me $4.50 for an unprepared bagel. I can get that from bagel street cafe two blocks away for 1/3 the price, lol. Won't be back.

Poor service. That don't clean their steamers. They don't know how to make espresso. That don't wash out their tools. They are rude. They try to take advantage of you. They are over priced and I think I saw one of them spit in my food. I'll never go again. read more

Nice service and good coffee. They always make the effort to have a small conversation with you.
