Reviews for Gold Leaf Cafe in Berkeley, CA
The staff were so rude. One of them said to the other staff (in front of me) that ?maybe we shouldn?t correct customers who ask... what the dog treats are and maybe they (the customers) will have a taste and then realise what it is because it?s so simple whywould they ask?. The coffee was consistently too acidic, and they forgot to use alt milk a few times and I had to remind them.Only went because it was the only option at the time. Would not recommend. Read more
I love this cafe! Highly recommend! Best espresso in Berkeley. They make yummy seasonal syrups and sell delicious pastries. Try... the gluten-free and vegan fruit bar! Also, the baristas are pretty cute :) Read more
Terrific beverages, and not over sweetened! Yeah! I am a little obsessed with their Strawberries and Cream Matcha Latte - a... current special for the sun sign Cancer. Looking forward to what they bring for Leo's like me. They are not afraid toexperiment, which I love. They have a small store front, with a cute little loft area that I enjoy every time I visit the Bayarea. The staff is excellent and they round out the chill vibe with professional barista skills and awesome playlists. I'd behere everyday if I lived in the area. Check it out if you want to be kind to your taste buds. Read more
This place has such an awesome vibe! Good espresso beverages, good enough pastries, but oh man they have spiral staircase and an... upstairs loft with air conditioning!!!! Plus all of the plants and the interior decor, this is a real catch. Will definitelycome back here. Read more
Fully agree with the one who said it is awful here. The coffee is ok, but the croissant I ordered is just bad. The whole... upstairs area are closed, basically no comfortable place to sit inside. There is also no WiFi connection. Information like thisshould be made available, so that I wouldn?t come this place with my computer thinking about getting some work done. Neither isthere any spot you can sit and meet friends etc. The staffs are also rude, no greetings, no ?how are you?, just cold andrude. The decoration and interior design are all very nice, but that?s not why people come to a cafe. Just a terrible place,avoid it! Read more
A cute little spot to get coffee! The gold accents, gallery wall and chalkboard add a glamorous yet friendly touch. I prefer to... order the drip coffee or a cortado. Beans from Mother Tongue are available for purchase and staff can grind them for you. Theyoften have house made syrups, like strawberry or cinnamon, available to liven up your lattes as well. They serve treats fromFirebrand and are dog friendly! Read more
It?s cute inside and the staff were nice but the coffee was awful! I got a cappuccino which only had macro foam and tasted super... acidic. I will not be back. Read more
The place is a hole in the wall and can barely fit five customers downstairs and four people upstairs sitting on filthy... furniture. The drinks and food is average, the latte was awful. The place asks for masks when everyone else in the city and theworld has stopped. How do they expect people who dine in to have masks? We did not have masks so I sent my kid to get masks fromthe car, while the staff are looking, waiting for my kid to return, and not taking our orders until my two daughters and I hadthe masks on. On our way out, we saw the staff offering customers; they apparently know, free masks! They a had a huge pile ofthem! Will not recommend the place. Read more
