    I want to like this spot but not 100% sold yet. I've only tried their iced shiro latte so keep that in mind. The oat milk got in the way of the miso flavors. Maybe my taste buds are lacking, but yeah I was kinda disappointed. I would come back though. They were out of the seasonal items so I'll have to come back haha.

    Kuro and Shiro

    Very cute and cozy coffee shop in Berkeley however I wasn't a big fan of the coffee. I ordered the Kuro and it was just okay. The drinks wasn't super cold when it came out, and for the price, the cups are really small. The baristas were super sweet so service was amazing! Just not personally the coffee shop for me but I am glad I tried it as they do have unique flavors.

    Fabulous pour over experience! Service was knowledgeable and educational. The coffee was delicious. We had pour overs from Ethiopia that were light roasted and felt like a tea experience. My iced latte Kuro was delicious and had black sesame seeds. Great ambience and cozy garden for outdoor seating

    Chic new coffee spot run by people who take coffee really seriously (and actually trained some of the baristas at Coffee Movement!). The storefront is easy to miss -- it looks like you're about to walk into the private patio of an apartment building -- so you can either enter through the cute clothing/artisan goods shop, or walk through the open gate leading into a patio seating area. Beautiful garden and great place to enjoy your coffee on a warm day. Not a lot of seating on the inside, just a handful of counter seats for people with "Slow Bar" orders. They have their signature menu (black filter coffee, matcha, teas, lattes...etc.) and they also have their "slow bar" menu, aka the pourover menu. We came to try their brew of some Yunnan coffee, since it's rare to find Chinese beans. The Yunnan is the "black" coffee on their Signature menu, and it was pretty solid. We separately tried the Granja Paraiso 92 Wush Wush, which was one of the slow bar options for the day. I believe they switch up the Slow Bar menu pretty frequently. We enjoyed chatting with Yang and his partner about their process: what minerals they add into the water, what kind of water they use, brewing time...etc. Lots of cool gadgets they got in there. The Wush Wush had good acidity to it and tasted pretty clean, but we wished more of the stonefruit/pear notes were brought out. Wouldn't drive the hour across the bridge just to come here, but will probably be our new go-to coffee spot whenever we're in East Bay to try out more of their brews!

    Entrance is a bit tucked away, but they had a sign out which made it easy. I ordered the seasonal sesame latte, but it's an extra $1 for an espresso shot. They serve oat milk only, which is great for the lactose intolerant folks, but I personally would've preferred soy milk which is more prevalent in asian-inspired flavors anyway which seems like the route Masterpiece Coffee is going for. Clean aesthetics giving off "hipster" vibes. The latte was good, but similar to most other higher-end coffee shops in the Bay Area.

    Masterpiece Coffee is an absolute gem in Berkeley with its cute outdoor patio and adorable merchandise options. This place can be easily missed but look for a small pathway with a coffee sign out front on the main side walk. Ordering online is a breeze, with an apple pay option. Our drinks were ready in about 8-9 minutes on a Sunday afternoon. The menu offers a selection of lattes made with oatmilk, some pastries and cake, along with some cute merchandise for purchase. We ordered the Kuro and the Shiro (both hot) and they were both equally impressive. I actually couldn't decide which one I loved more. The miso in the shiro was subtle but you could appreciate the salt and sweet blending together. I couldn't even tell (tastewise) that it was made of oatmilk. Each had the perfect balance of milk to coffee ratio. I prefer my drinks on the sweeter side so the shiro was right up my alley. The sesame seeds added a nutty fun texture to each sip. I don't give coffee shops a lot of 5 star ratings but Masterpiece is definitely deserving of a 5/5. The coffee drink quality is amazing and truly unique. I would come back if I'm ever in Berkeley and would bring my dog next time.

    First time at masterpiece and I will definitely be back! I walked in on a Wednesday morning and it was the perfect coffee morning. There were some people enjoying coffee in the outside patio but I was in and out in no time. I ordered the shiro latte. The white miso caught my attention thinking "oh that means there must be a salty/sweet flavor" and I was right. It was absolutely perfect. It came with sesames on top and it was perfectly hot. It was sweet and savory and still a good coffee flavor. The worker that day was very friendly and efficient. This location is not in a super busy neighborhood. It is a fast street in terms of cars but seems to be a decent amount of parking. Can't wait to go back and try more options.

    Easily the best slow bar coffee shop in the country! Tried their whole menu one after the other. It was my first time trying gout and co coffees and they were exceptional. The care Ling takes in curating recipes for each coffee is super intentional. Can't recommend this place enough.

    Cute coffee shop with a very nice patio area! Has a Japanese, minimal-chic vibe and the coffee was very good!

    One customer of one coffee shop at Oakland introduced us to this coffee shop. It is tiny coffee shop at Berkeley. It is interesting that they source the coffee beans are from China. Inside is clean snd neat. It shares space with one other store. The seating is outdoor. We came when it is almost closed. We ordered tea, Kuro and Shiro coffee and latte. All are kind of special drink which you don't get them from other coffee shop. Their speciality is the pour over coffee. I think the person who prepared our order is the owner and he is nice. It is interesting there is white sasame seed and black sesame seed on the coffee latte. Our coffee and tea are good. The coffee is not that strong. The tea are unique. We also get pastries and because it is almost closed we get buy one get one. They also sell merchandise, and coffee beans. The coffee beans are around 24 dlrs. Pricewise yhe coffee and tea are reasonable. Will visit next time to try the pour over coffee.

    Really enjoy the shiro and kuro latte. I've tried both iced and hot, but I seem to love the shiro latte hot the most. Kuro is espresso with added okinawa black sugar, oat milk, sea salt, black sesame seeds and the Shiro is espresso with white miso, brown sugar, oat milk, and sesame seeds. Love the miso flavor in the Shiro and the taste is much more pronounced in the hot latte. I will need to try our their other menu items instead of just sticking with the hot Shiro latte haha.

    Masterpiece Coffee has been a pop up covfefe purveyor for 5ish months. His brew? Yunnan coffee beans from Yunnan province, China. This is the brick & mortar location, near Enterprise cars, in the back of Min na boutique. Enter from the side. Seating in garden area. No canopy. Best to go when sun is up. Pours: teas, covfefe: black (Americano), white (Expresso + oak milk), green (organic ceremonial matcha + oak milk), moka (Expresso+tcho chocolate, oak milk), kuro (espresso+okinawa black sugar, oat milk, sea salt, black sesame seeds), shiro (espresso+white miso, brown sugar, oat milk, sesame seeds), hong (espresso+chocolate, gochugaru, oat milk, Sichuan peppercorn), hot chocolate, pour over.. *all add ons are hand created by owner, not store bought. Sips: Americano (4) 8oz. Black -easy sipping, medium roast ish, slightly harsh initially evolving into an earthy brew. Addictive. -didn't see Pour over listed on board. New items are added constantly. Check website. -all drinks made to order. Prepare to wait. Worth waiting for. Unique! Worthy!

    I ordered the shiro latte (hot) and thought it was okay, maybe not for my palette but I'd love to come back and try the shiro drink. There's no wifi here, and just a couple tables inside so not the ideal working environment. The barista was nice and the outdoor patio area was cute. The space is shared with a business that sells knick knacks and clothing.

    Cute cozy cafe in Downtown Berkeley! MY Coffee Roastery is a charming cafe with cottage-themed…read moredecor, delicious pastries, and good cafe drinks. I tried their Lemon Blossom Latte because I've never seen this flavor of latte at any other store and it was good! The lemon taste was prominent but not too overpowering and paired well in an iced latte drink. I also tried their Chocolate Almond Croissant which had a nice crispy exterior and not-too-sweet filling that I enjoyed. The ambiance is very cute given the cottage theme and the staff were very friendly. There is free wifi at this cafe (though connection is a bit weak), but barely any outlets (I couldn't find any for myself when I was there). Not sure if I'd do work here, but there are plenty of seats both indoors and outdoors for people to sit at. Overall, a charming cafe I'd recommend for catching up with friends or enjoying treats in a cute cottage-themed space!

    This place is great for a nice cozy coffee in the Berkeley neighborhood…read more They got the usual coffee selections, double shot espressos, Americanos, lattes, etc...They also got a few unique ones like Orange Blosson latte and Fluffy, double shot espresso in cream soda. Their espresso is on the tart side, if youre into that kind of stuff. The shop has some cozy cottage themed decor and some well shaded outdoor seating. Overall, solid pick. I highly recommend!
