Mango pineapple
Jenny H.

The Mango Pineapple fruit juice is SO REFRESHING ON A HOT DAY. I loved it. No added extra juice. Staff is always pleasant. She adjusted it to have more mango for me.

I'm going to miss this place! Mr. Espresso tastes divine, especially with hazelnut and a little ice and oat milk... but the customer service and love at this stand is top tier. I'll always be back to support when I can.

Java Smoothie
Avey S.

Man I am LOYAL to this place. Everything here is good! The iced mocha, the mocha java smoothie, regular java smoothie, iced cinnamon dolce, breakfast sandwich... There aren't many drive thru coffee places in oakland so this one is super convenient. Also, the girls working are always super sweet!! I ride for this spot fr and always bring visitors here when we wanna grab a quick coffee :) it's also right by the freeway ramp. There's a 50¢ card fee so I always bring cash with me to make my order a little cheaper!

Vegan mocha freeze coffee baby!

Shoutout to Carlie and Jung for always making my day with the yummiest Pina Colada smoothie in Oakland! If you want organic espresso that's Oakwood roasted, a smoothie, amazing customer service and oil change, look no further folks. Lucia Espresso is the jam! They use Mr. Espresso in all their coffee an drinks and also the oil service team is A+ and courteous. Support local and go Chen em out!

Menu said $8.65 for a large smoothie, but it was actually $9.25 but it was honestly bomb AF I can't even be mad.

Love Artis Coffee!…read more My wife and I haven't been on Fourth Street Berkeley in a long long time! Thankfully while doing some shopping and after a great meal at Divan Restaurant a few block away we popped into Artis Coffee. Wow! It was after 4 pm but what the hell, I ordered a cappuccino and my wife order a defca cappuccino, several pastries and took in the HUGE space! Our cashier was very friendly and appreciated our humor and debate on whether to have a "decaffeinated" cappuccino or not. I convince my wife to order one and she loved loved loved it! My "hi test" cappuccino was spectacular, smooth and perfect! Honestly, It took me back to Roma where we had aour honeymoon 22 years ago! Bella! If you find yourself on Berkeley's Fourth Street and looking for a perfect roasted coffee make sure to hop into Artis Coffee and I know you will love it too!

Artis Coffee was okay…read more I had an Ube Latte, 12 oz, iced, with matcha and oat milk ($8.50 plus $2 tip) and it was good. Artis opened on December 7, 2013 and is located on the northern end of the Fourth Street Shops (a.k.a. Fourth Street Berkeley). This is a fairly spacious cafe with an industrial/warehouse, minimalist look. During my afternoon visit, it was busy inside and out on the covered patio. Lots of people on their laptops. Artis roasts their own coffee. Service was fine. I got a side eye from the cashier/barista when I asked where the water station was (it was my first time and I was unfamiliar with this place), but they were nice and polite otherwise. The water pressure at the self-serve faucet was too strong and sprayed water everywhere. Good for a coffee fix if you're in the area.

Staff were friendly, very knowledgeable, and helpful. I ordered a mocha and later a red tea and…read morethey were both excellent. Definitely coming back! Baristas explained that they are up for trying different and sometimes unusual combinations for their customers. I wasn't adventurous this time, but it made me want to explore in the future. I came here to work, hoping for a relatively warm and cozy spot that wasn't too sleepy. I was not disappointed. The wifi was good, music was fun and unobtrusive. Decorations and layout gave a friendly, welcoming environment. Not only were the benches and padded chairs comfy, the ambiance was kept even in the bathroom. Spacious, warm lighting, cute bathroom with a great mirror and cool sink. I don't ever ding places for hospital-looking bathrooms (you know, fluorescent lights, questionable floors, sand paper toilet paper...) but this was one of the few where I was impressed. Good to know: Jaffa cakes are only available on the weekend Parking: Some of the streets nearby are resident-only parking so make sure to double check!

We were greeted by the loveliest person when we walked in. He was helping someone in front of us…read morewho seemed like a lot, kept interrupting those around her after she ordered but the person running the front was patient and kind. I ordered a cortado which was good while the hubby ordered the orange latter. We were told ordering it iced makes it a tad sweeter and that was correct advice. The latte was sweet but still delicious. I'd probably order it hot next time. It's a large space with merchandise, beans, and accessories for sale. They've also got a good sized menu for coffee and tea drinkers alike.

Truly amazing coffee here. They know their beans…read more The Friday morning we went, there was quite a bit of a wait since there was only one person dripping all the coffees and preparing the orders. Took about 25 minutes to get my two drinks. It was nice that ordering is through a touch screen which made things move a teensy bit faster. I'd definitely come back to indulge in really nice cup of coffee and give myself some extra time to slow down and enjoy.

Stopped by after lunch on a Saturday. There is a good amount of street parking since it's a quieter…read morestreet. I like how they have outdoor seating - perfect for a summer day to enjoy a coffee and sit around (has few umbrellas to cover the sun). Inside there are only a small number of seats. Ordering is easy and you can also watch them pour your coffee, which is nice. They have a lot of Chinese beans that I wouldn't have tried otherwise or known about. They sell beans and coffee accessories there too. We ordered a pour over and they had at least 7 beans to choose from, and even had Geishas (this may have been special beans on rotation). On the pricier side but that's expected. We also tried the Shiro miso latte, which was a tad disappointing. Perhaps we aren't actually the biggest fan of miso in a coffee drink but the flavor profile wasn't our taste. I'd return for the specialty beans + pour over if I was ever in the area!
