So grateful to have stop by the East Bay Nursery down the street who bought a loaf and let me try some! I was also recommend the strawberry eclair which was amazing! This location is on a corner San Pablo ave and Addison st. Parking is street parking. We went around noon but it seems like the earlier the better to make sure you get the pastries you want. Once they run out, that's it for the day. Ambiance: chill, place to come for a cup of coffee or to study or even work. It's quite & lots of seating area. read more

Great place to study and get some work done! They have a beautiful assortment of pastries and breads. The staff is very helpful. I am on a limited diet, and didn't think I could eat anything, but one of the employees, Mars, went out of his way to help me find something that worked for me. Thank you Mars! He was so understanding and helpful. I'm definitely going to keep coming back now that I know he can help me find something in my limited diet. read more

Ugh, I wanted to love this place so bad but unfortunately the service ruined it for my family and I. Can't deny that they do have the best avocado toast I've ever had, though! However, the two dudes that were working the day we went in seemed to be having a bad day (with just us). I nicely asked for utensils when I got my food and The response I got was a point to the back wall where they were. The curly hair dude looked bothered that I didnt know. Sorry, it was my first time! The taller white dude making the food was just plain out sassyyyyy when we asked if the toast on the counter was ours. Again, sorry we didnt know because no one specified when we got to the counter. BUT, The girl at the reg who took our was sweet!! read more

It was amazing how the counter staff person ignored me and after I left she attended others 10 minutes later? Real respect to new customers! read more

I ordered, "A dry Cappuccino, with more foam than milk." I got a cup of hot milk, flavored with coffee. Nasty. If they don't know what a cappuccino is, or they can't make one, just take it off the menu. read more

perfect study spot and not overly crowded! they have so much seating, good wifi, and outlets to use. i love the vibes in here as well, it's super minimalist! there's a good selection of pastries and beverages, and i got a matcha latte. the matcha flavor wasn't very strong, and it was pretty milky. it wasn't anything extraordinary, but i still enjoyed it! read more

Well, this place was just a little baker's dream! A friend and I came to the area for breakfast, only to find our chosen destination randomly closed - Lavender was across the street and I am so glad we were able to stumble in! We split the traditional avocado toast, the peach chausson, a chocolate crossiant, and a cranberry oatmeal cookie - and there was not a singular meh bite. avocado toast // the avocado was perfectly ripe and the bread was divine. whatever seasoning was on it was so fragrant. peach chausson // the peach and pistachio combo - YUM! this was flaky, sweet and so unique. chocolate croissant // flavor-wise, this was a standard chocolate croissant, but pastry-wise? this was flaky, and buttery, and basically melted in your mouth! cranberry oatmeal cookie // the oatmeal base was so chewy and flavorful. I am usually not a fan of dried cranberries, raisins, or anything similar - but this was a delicious way to end our meal. We also both tried different drinks and enjoyed them; the iced coffee with the bourbon maple (?) foam wasn't too sweet and my friend seemed to enjoy their floral hot tea. Overall, I could see this as a cute place to come and work for a bit - and I enjoyed that we could watch some of the bread and pastries being made in their open concept kitchen! read more

Came here when they opened, maybe a little bit past their open time. And there was nothing ready! No pastries, no bread, nothing! Why would you open a breakfast place and have nothing ready. Their food might be good but if its not there then it useless! Went to the rainbow donut shop next door instead and did not disappoint read more

Great selection. Great service. Their open time I find odd. Never open early enough for us.

So yummy! The lattes are delicious, a very smooth and velvety texture. I tried the smores latte today and was not disappointed... I loved the chocolate and cracker and it was a lovely treat for the morning. If I wasn't worried about being able to breathe in my pants while at work today I would have ordered a pastry as well, alas that wasn't in the stars for me. read more

The first time I tried their toast with strawberry jam I was brought nearly to tears ! The staff is very sweet and upbeat not to mention the general atmosphere of the cafe makes it the perfect place to get work done. Every time i'm in town I make sure to stop by here ! :) read more

New cafe with potential - loved the minimal, modern vibe (bright natural lighting, too)! Drink - 3/5 - Ordered the Lavender Latte (Oat Milk) - was let down by the quality of the drink (the milk overpowered the coffee) - Happy that my drink was $5.44 after I redeemed the 20% Discount Coupon from their website Vibe - 5/5 - My favorite part: the seating arrangement! - Plenty of comfortable seats and individual tables (compared to nearby cafes) - Folk music playing in the background was relaxing - Another plus is the super clean and spacious All-Gender Restroom! Customer Service - 3/5 - The team is still getting settled in, but appreciated that they were kind and applied the discount immediately! read more

Was excited to see that Lavender Bakery took over States Coffee so I was curious to see what they ended up doing with this place. The interior is the same as it was when it was States coffee. I hope they redecorate because the interior just doesn't give off the vibe for the name "lavender bakery". I was curious to see what pastries they offered and unfortunately everything was pretty much sold out so I hope in the future they have more on hand. The coffee was decent for me. read more

I was in the Berkeley area and decided to try Lavender Bread and Cafe' after checking Yelp for nearby bakeries. I ordered a decaf lavender latte. It was bland and had very little notes of lavender. I also ordered the chocolate mousse and a chocolate croissant for my boys to share for dessert. The desserts looked beautiful, but the taste was just okay. The café had a chill, industrial vibe, though the person taking my order seemed bored. Not sure if I would return, but I'm glad I had the experience of checking out a bakery in Berkeley. There's street parking so be prepared to look for parking nearby. read more

The coffee was great but the homemade bread on the avocado toast was to die for. Highly recommend if you are in the area

Friendly service with Delicious baked goods! Offerings are substantial, so you end up buying more than you initially wanted. The breads are the perfect chewy texture with lovely crusts. And you must try the fruit tarts. Chai latte is very tasty, goes perfectly with a pastry. read more

Ive been here a couple times now and its been bomb everytime. Shoutout to Younique, they were very sweet and helpful in helping me pick a drink. I will be back!! read more

Tried Lavender's sandwich bread for the first time and it did not disappoint! Came in on a Sunday morning and they had just baked the bread - it was still warm! They sliced it for me too which was perfect. I also enjoy their matcha latte - read more

This cafe has a lot of seating and the tables are pretty big. They have a variety of pastries, toasts, and sandwiches. I've tried a couple of their drinks, and the coffee is good. Some of the items are a little expensive. Their toasts are a good size. Last time I tried the Pecan Butter Toast (3.5/5). I was expecting it to be a little sweet, but it was fairly bland. They also have outlets, free wifi, and a bathroom! read more

This is my go-to cafe! The place is clean, neat, and has good customer service. The cakes tastes amazing, it is not too sweet, yet not too bitter. Overall, if you want to sit in a chill place and enjoy some treats to yourself, I recomend going here! read more

The perfect neighborhood cafe. You can get the freshest croissants in the morning & can even purchase the homemade jam that they use on their ricotta toasts. The coffees are wonderful as well. Definitely busy in the mornings, but the line moves quickly & totally worth it. Grab a coffee, then walk down to the marina is a perfect activity. read more

when my apartment buildings washer broke, I was kind of bummed out. The idea of spending an hour or two at the laundromat was not my idea of a good time! But then I realized that the laundromat was across the street from some really cute little cafés, so I decided to make lemonade from lemons and check one of them out. lavender is a beautiful and minimalist café, with delicious smelling bread and pastries galore. I picked the dungeon frog drink, an earl grey with honey and rose flavors, and an almond croissant, both of which were excellent. The staff were incredibly friendly and nice, and the atmosphere was quiet and chill. I'll definitely be back! read more

Food and lavender latte both get a 6 out of 5 stars. I am usually skittish about ordering lavender anything because they overdo it, but I thought these guys have it in the name, surely they got this -- and they do! It's subtle and sweet and perfect. Iced is the way to go. Also got a classic avocado toast and I must know what spice they put on there because that too is honestly divine. My husband thought we'd share but it was more of an 80/20 situation. Service was a little slow, but very friendly. We'll be back!! read more

Excellent bread, we've purchased several types and all have been excellent. We will definitely go back. Francisco read more

The spot used to be amazing and one of my favorites and then lavender bakery, took it over. so the quality of the goods have progressively gone down. I miss the delicious bread this place made previously. I do think lavender bakery's original location makes decent cakes however I find the ones at this location to be lower in quality. I also think the quality of the espresso beverages have gone down and might find myself not enjoying my drink drinks here anymore as they as if the espresso shots are not pulled correctly. The location is stunning, but the staff here seem overworked and disgruntled. I don't get the feel win ng Managment treats staff well. As it is such a lovely space I was hoping the quality would remain the same as they transition to new owners but sadly it's not the case and I won't be coming back here anymore. read more

great product. great staff. great environment. great hours. When I need to concentrate on a few tasks but still want the pleasant light interactions with the masses, nothing beats this cafe for now. They have great 4barrell coffee with baristas that truly know how to prepare it and their baked goods are excellent and consistent. It's light and airy without being pretentious. Everyone gets a table to work at. Big props all around. read more

good place to pick up a loaf and take it home. A great way to eat french bread from lavender bread & cafe is eat it toasted .

Mars has been exceptional with providing customer service- especially during the early morning hours. He makes patronizing this business easy! read more

A quaint bakery with a delightful selection of baked treats. The classic sourdough is a must-try, with the perfect balance of crunch and sour texture. The subtle sour notes make it versatile for any topping. Don't forget to try their unique sweet treats that they have at their other location too! Staff was pretty nice as well. Highly recommended for sourdough enthusiasts. Rating: 5/5 read more

This place is amazing, the quality of the bread is almost like a work of art. It's hard to devour when it looks so beautiful. My favorite treats are the personal pastries and the Cheese Fougasse are very delicious and of course you can't leave without the lavender latte. But what makes this place extra special are the owner and the staffs who works there, they treat you like family. I definitely recommend this cafe' if you're a bread lover. cheers! read more
