Delicious Oat Milk Latte! This is a small, modern cafe that is styled in an airy, neutral, Scandinavian manner. It has a small, nice outdoor seating area, with pretty green leafy plants. My barista was helpful and attentive. I mention the cafe's size only to say that you wouldn't want to come here if you have a party of 3 or more. But if you want a quiet, uncrowded place with one or two others, this is it. I would definitely bring my 88-year-old mom here for lattes during the week, because it is very quiet and peaceful, and we both love oat milk lattes! read more

Weird. It's in a children;s clothing store so you might feel a little like you're intruding. The coffee is perfectly fine on it's own but they only offer oat milk. The service is a little snooty with an I'm better than you vibe but maybe that's that's a "me" problem. The coffee comes with sesame seeds which was not clear immediately clear in the ordering process. Too many conditions for a coffee shop. I think they are just trying too hard read more

Great coffee, very thoughtful flavors and menu items. The space is also very cute and cozy.

I had their black coffee and hot chocolate at the Heath Ceramics sale. The drinks were good but it took 45 min and they only filled the small coffee cup halfway...$6 for like 5 oz of black coffee isn't great. I understand they were worried about running out of coffee, but b/w the long wait, high prices, and minimal amount of coffee, I was disappointed. read more

This gem is located in the back of a really cute children's store. I got a mocha and a Matcha tea, both were excellent. The Matcha he grinds himself the traditional way. This really is a great little drink place. The barista was so nice, friendly and knowledgeable. Next time I go I want to allow more time and browse the children's store that this drink area is housed in. It has really cute children's toys and educational items. Definitely worth going back to! read more

The Kuro (Okinawa black sugar) & Shiro (white miso) latte blew my mind! So smooth, unique, with the perfect amount of sweetness. This is definitely my favorite coffee shop in Berkeley, I'll be coming back very soon!! read more

One of the best lattes I have ever had! Delicious flavor and great texture! This place is a coffee foodie must!

Love this place that's tucked inside the equally lovely shop Min'na. Super unique latte lineup. Got the Shiro (miso! roasted sesame seeds!) and the seasonal Hong (gochugaru! Sichuan peppercorn!) lattes - both were delicious and not too sweet. Can get it hot or iced. Definitely coming back to try the others! read more

24 hours after visiting Masterpiece Coffee and my fiancé is still talking about how delicious the Kuro was. "Espresso + Okinawa black sugar + milk. Topped with sea salt." We both loved this drink and a little quiet time in the outdoor seating area next to the building. Highly recommend a visit! read more

My goodness, what a find! Located at the back of Min'na Boutique is an absolutely charming and unique coffee mini cafe. A delightful young man named Yeung, (pronounced 'young') left tech to create his own coffee brand. Enjoy the delicious blends he creates and purchase items from the most unique boutique in the area offered by the owner of Min-na, Elena. The blends are with ingredients one would never think of. I had the Shiro. Coffee with oatmilk (the only milk available ,which I love anyway) and miso! Yes, Shiro miso! It tasted like liquid, rich, homemade coffee with caramel ice cream with a teeny tiny bit of sugar sprinkles on top. I LOVED IT! read more

The menu is simple but has the essentials. I got a great recc and attention from staff. I got Kuro & Green, very impressed! Loved the roasted flavors in the Kuro. A lot of places make matcha (Green) too sweet, and I loved it here, the bitterness and flavors of the matcha were fantastic. For someone who cannot have dairy, having an Oat Milk only menu is such a treat! Thank you! read more

Masterpiece Coffee - Kuro + Green - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Berkeley, California

Masterpiece lives up to its name. After trying every specialty coffeehouse in the East Bay over the 7 years I've lived here, Masterpiece is unequivocally the best. Masterpiece is a one-man operation run by its owner, Young. He manages the storefront, prepares every drink, and roasts the coffee himself. The menu is incredibly simple and every drink is insanely delicious. As of this writing, Masterpiece was serving a Chinese coffee from the only region in China that produces speciality-grade coffee. We got it on pour over and it tasted like wine, flowers, and just overall deliciousness. It's insane. But what I really appreciate about Masterpiece is that the atmosphere is so warm and inviting. Despite the insane quality of coffee that Young serves, the price is actually incredibly reasonable (much more inexpensive than other places nearby) and the overall vibe is in no way pretentious. This place is perfect. Great prices, lovely atmosphere, incredible quality, and an amazing staff. You must go. read more

Walked in on a Sunday afternoon, said hi and smiled, and the guys behind the counter didn't even look me and my friend in eye or regard that we were there at all. Coffee is exceptionally mid- so can't really afford to not have a shred of human regard either. Will not be coming back. read more

While wandering through San Pablo Ave in Berkeley, my friend and I followed the signs to Masterpiece Coffee. We were pleasantly surprised to find a serene and impeccably clean café in this quiet city. We ordered a cappuccino and a latte, both of which were fresh and delicious. We discovered a lovely outdoor seating area surrounded by lush vegetation. It was the perfect spot to chat, dream, or work through our troubles in a safe and happy environment. read more

Everything is so intentional - lattes, people, recipes, ambiance. The latte flavors are heavenly and every drink is beautiful. The green latte with matcha and the shiro latte with espresso and miso are our go-tos. In my dreams they would also make a latte with organic coconut sugar or maple syrup! I LOVE that the space is shared with such a sweet shop that has a great collection of high quality second hand clothing and goods! Just wish they had a couple more tables inside- but space doesn't allow and they've made it more spacious with a lovely outdoor seating area. read more

The coffee is super good! The items there are very unique, the owner is very creative, I have never had these drinks before! I ordered "Brown", I love it so much! No matter the smell, taste, it gave me a feeling of heart-warming and super high quality. The drink made my day! read more

My boyfriend and I were visiting Berkeley for the day and wanted some coffee and I'm so glad I came across Masterpiece Coffee! Young was so welcoming, friendly, and very personable. I ordered the Kuro and my boyfriend ordered their special that is hard launching in January(don't remember the name, it had sechuan peppercorn) . Both were delicious with their own unique spin on them. 10/10 would highly recommend to a friend! read more
