I live here.
People tend to love their Bianca Mocha, but I find it a little sweet. The Cafe Latte is really good, and I love their Mocha. Biscotti is super yummy (I always get the hazelnut chocolate). Skip the sandwiches, which are slightly overpriced for what you get.
Lemonade is sour, just the way I like it. Hot apple cider is SUPER yummy.
I LOVE THE APPLE PIE. SO MUCH. so so much. It's very different from regular apple pie though, because it doesn't have the goop! That's just the way I prefer it though ... :D
Probably my second home during my 8-year saga @ Cal (undergrad, then grad school). Definitely part of the Cal experience. It's also a great place to go after listening to a Friday or Saturday night concert at the music department (Hertz Hall), or just to study/ read on a sunny afternoon.
Prime traffic times are between 745am and 910am (the 8am and 9am classes start on "Berkeley time," ie 10 min after the hour) and lunch time. The line moves swiftly, but don't expect anyone to wait for you while you rummage for change.
In short:
Seating: plenty of outdoor seating with heat lamps; only a few tables indoors (ambience is loud bc it's next to the coffee maker)
Laptops: "free WIFI" from AirBears or Bancroft Hotel (it's fickle, but it works most of the time depending on where you're sitting). More outlets indoors; some outlets lining the building outdoors.
Prices: $1.60 for an Americano (regular coffee), generous servings (affordable for students and faculty!)
Hours: open at least until midnight on most nights, esp when school is in session
Coffee: Decently strong; highlights include the Strada Mocha Bianca (white mocha)
Food: Pass. A bit overpriced, except for the muffins, which for some odd reason have a special place in my heart (no particular reason why).
Bathroom: bathroom around the back; can also go across the street to campus
Parking: street only, which is really hard to find since it's so close to campus
Random plusses: eco-friendly packaging, great for people watching

Caffe Strada offers it all - stong coffee, delicious pastries, lots of outdoor seating amidst beautiful greenery. Lattes, cappucinos, macchiatos, here these are real coffee drinks you can sink your tongue into. Coffee rarely hits the spot as well as it does here. Their selection of pastries is pretty commonplace, but they taste better than the standard. I love the espresso brownies and the carrot cake best -- BURSTS of flavor! The bianca mocha is absolutely yummy and an original here. My only regret is that they don't serve food, but hey, they're good at what they do.
Right across from campus, Strada is the perfect place to people watch, read, or meet up for a study group. It tends to get loud in the evening when everyone comes by, but if you can work with some noise, you'll love it. And it's open late, so you can drink great, even late! Strada has saved me from many a-late night and assisted in my decompression in between classes. To me, Strada is the quintessential campus caffe. Love you, Strada! Even if you only take cash.
Strada is a great place to people watch, chat with a friend, or attempt to do some lightweight studying!
There are tons of spots outside to sit, so outdoors is perfect on a sunny day. Under the roof area there are heaters for when it's cold. Also there are a few outlets outside, at the seats closest to the actual building.
Indoor seating is minimal but the tables are so big you can usually share with a kind soul if you really want to.
Mocha Bianca is what people rave about, and it's worth a try, although it is really really sweet. I wouldn't get it on a daily basis. Maybe like... once a semester. I usually get a soy latte in a smaller cup because the normal size is too dilute. The cups are surprisingly big for the price. I kinda love it. Cappuccinos are good too.
Pastries are the same as FSM. I like the banana nut muffin :) The cookies aren't bad either. Prices are reasonable and typical.
Service is really fast so don't be scared if you see a long line going out the door in the mornings or in between classes.
Sucks when it rains!!

I have to stay that Strada was a staple as an undergrad. Their drinks were pretty good and very consistant every time I come here. I also have to give them kudos for recently changing all their cups and everything to compostables which is a big plus in my book.
There is free wi-fi but its a hit and miss, sometimes I can get it to work and sometimes I can't.
The only problem with this place is the lack of inside seating! On a cold day, no one sits outside and it's impossible to get a seat inside.
There is PLENTY of outside seating and it's actually really nice to get some reading done outside with a coffee on a nice sunny day, but there are no outlets outside so if you have a laptop, its best to come fully charged. There are some outlets outside on some of the trees but they don't work.
bianca mocha. it's pure HAPPY in a mug, and the one thing i come here for.
so glad you folks haven't changed this drink. time and again, still oooh, so delicioso! also, it's the perfect setting for coffee... i've always loved this cafe.
I haven't actually ordered a coffee from them, but I've had their blueberry danish and a breakfast croissant. This is a good place to sit down, grab a snack, and have a chat with someone.
Service is good and they're pretty fast with orders.
A Berkeley classic. They don't serve drip (you'll get americano) and they know how to make PERFECT foam. The tables and chairs are old and worn... but think of it as evidence of solid establishment - of the hundreds of thousands of students who dutifully pass under these eaves looking for a cup of morning sunshine.
Hungry? Try the:
- Apple Cloud (cream cheese, pastry dough, and cinnamon apples!)
- Blueberry Muffin (dense cake w/a crumbly topping)
- Espresso Brownie

I'm sure Strada is for many, including me, the sustenance in completing a Cal degree. My favorite time to do is to come here on a sunny afternoon and sit outdoors with a good book. Can't go wrong with the Strada Biana, my personal favorite, or the Strada Bianca Mocha. Both are equally delicious depending on one's mood. Most pastries are, as mentioned, common but slightly better than average. When friends and family come to visit, I like to hit this spot before taking a walk around campus!
MY APPRECIATION FOR:
+wall of syrups (though i normally would not add it)
+high wireless signal (though sometimes still unconnectable)
+outlets (though not that many)
+lots of seating (though most are outside)
+people watching (though some will come up to you and ask you for change)
+hot office hours spot (though difficult with a big group)
+open late (though i have to hang out at work instead once it's past midnight)
Chai Latte: weak.
Bianca Mocha: too sweet to down.
Hot Apple Cider: sweet, but good!
CASH ONLY (so many times I've forgotten)
People thought this was:
I'm a big fan of their coffee! I think they probably have the best coffee around Berkeley campus. The coffee is brewed perfectly and it's not too strong/bitter.
Mocha Bianca: I tried their famous Mocha Bianca today. At first, it tasted almost heavenly, with a bit of chocolate powder that I added. However, after having half a cup, I found the sweetness a little overwhelming. I'd still give it 4-stars since it was great for the first half. Definitely recommend!
Strada is a good place to do some casual studying or host small group meetings. It's a little too noisy if you want to concentrate. However, free wifi and outlets is great.
Summary:
**Great Coffee
**Mocha Bianca is worth a try
**Great place for light studying/group meeting.
Bottom line: This place one of the many things that make Berkeley unique.
This place did the trick for me today. It was bustling inside and out the whole time I was there (4+ hrs). There was a fast-moving line which said "I like it here whether I'm here to stay for hrs or to grab-n-go".
I had a bagel and a latte and plopped down with my computer to work. They didn't kick me out or ask me to buy more stuff, which gets high marks from me. And free wifi, a must for a college area cafe!
The patio area looked really inviting but alas, I was outlet-constrained. I'd go back
Today I ordered the Bianca Mocha. It was really not that good. It was too sweet and didn't have much of an aromatic coffee flavor. It tasted mostly of all those glass squirt bottles of syrup that they have behind the counter. And I'm pretty sure the Bianca Mocha was made with a lot of that disgusting syrup that Peet's also uses.
My idea of a good coffee drink is good aroma, gentle on the roasted notes, just enough milk/half-and-half/or whatever to suppress bitterness, and lightly sweet (shouldn't be so sweet as to mask the coffee).
Coffee is OK. Pastries, however, are overpriced. The brioches are always dry and stale, and the… Read more »
This place is oh so YUMMY!
everything is good here, the chai, the coffee, the muffins and pie. I'm wanting to make the trip over there just talking about it. goodness! The service is also super friendly and fast!
the only down fall is the CASH ONLY. also, watch out for the hustle and bustle of the students.
Pros
+ OPEN LATE!! (midnight)
+ Conveniently close to campus (great morning pitstop)
+ Service is fast
+ Great place to study (if you can tolerate noise) or chat
+ Airbears wifi connectivity
+ Outdoor heat lamps
+ Double cappuccino for ~$3 = perfect for an all-nighter
Cons
- Berkeley's cold weather (not all outdoor areas have heating)
- Not the best quality of coffee drinks but the caffeine does its job well
- Not too many electrical outlets
I owe my thanks to Strada for making my all-nighters possible!
People thought this was:
The place was fairly busy when I went, so it's not a surprise the service wasn't particularly special, but yeah, it wasn't. I had a Strada Bianca (white hot chocolate) and a black bottom muffin; the hot chocolate was quite good on a cool day like that, and the muffin was decent, but a little dry.
What I do love about this place is the setup outside. There's plenty of space to sit, and a great place to read for hours on a gorgeous day.
Super cool! I love the interior design and the huge open windows. The five stars goes to the great guy who made my drink. I asked for an ice tea, and he gave me a funny look and said that I would like this other drink better. I couldn't quite make out what he was trying to tell me, only that it would be ice blended like the coffee drinks and that I would really like it. I said I couldn't take caffeine, but he assured me there was no coffee. Okaaaaay . . . I said. I don't really know what it is, but sure, I'll take it. I just wanted to chat with my friend. He charges me $1.90 for the "ice tea."
WELL, he starts making the drink, blending ice, some milk and a shot of vanilla syrup. In goes more vanilla, more ice. Then he takes the cup, squirts whipped cream and caramel on the bottom! What? Strawberry syrup, and then caramel flavoring goes into the blender. More ice! He pours the concoction into the whipped cream decorated cup, and pours more caramel and whipped cream on it.
TA-DA! He hands me my drink as I look at him astonished. WOW. It was tasty and clearly OFF the menu. Some lady asked me what I got, and I didn't even know what to tell her . . .
Thanks super cool nice guy at Caffe Strada! My personalized drink was much appreciated.
Keys to a good coffee shop for a student at the Uni: free wi-fi, lotsa' spacious tables, and decent snacks/coffee.
While they have the snacks n' coffee down, they don't have the first two prerequisites. No wi-fi? The free wireless from the campus occasionally makes it over to Strada but it's not reliable. For a student who uses Internet often for work n' such, that's a no-no.
Space is an issue too: the big tables number in three and are only inside. All the outside tables are small and cramped. Some of the seats are cracked too.
It's cool that it's open later than the shops around them but it's not worth it due to the poor lighting and crappy tables.
Final Call:
Nifty coffee shop for some chattin' but not preferable for students. I'm obviously writing from a student/researcher point of view. As such, this is the shop I visit least during the year.
i'm not a coffee person.
but the bran muffin.... makes me love bran.... only there.... oh so good... now that i'm no longer a student, even if i can grab one for later, i do, and savor it!
(same source as the bran muffin at free speech on campus...so you have 2 chances to try it!)
also, amazing amount of seating for students...
People thought this was:
A thoroughly mediocre cafe rescued only by its great hours and excellent location.
The espresso? Really, really not great. The beans are stale and the roast is really dark, leaving the hapless espresso drinker with a mouthful of indistinct char. My cafe macchiatto finished with a mouthful of coarse coffee grounds. My cappuccino's milk was flat and textureless, though the foam was acceptable. I haven't tried the drip coffee; maybe it's better. Maybe. They don't seem to respect espresso very much, so I won't be betting the bank on it. (Update: There is none. I asked if there *was* drip coffee, and the guy at the register put in an americano order for me. I canceled it and ordered a chai and he was all "what, you don't like americanos?" and I was all "heh something like that.")
I don't really like mochas in general, so your mileage may vary, but I found the bianca mocha to be cloyingly sweet and otherwise uninteresting. But no wonder it's so popular -- you can't taste the damn coffee anymore.
The ambience is kind of nice, with the decking and the outdoor tables and the occasional musicians, but, incredibly, all of the seating is on unpadded metal folding chairs, which is especially cruel given the gonna-sit-here-all-day-with-my-laptop crowd the cafe draws. All these sore-assed grad students! Have you no mercy, Caffe Strada!?
But, in the end, I'll continue to endure the tyranny of Caffe Strada, and here's why you should, too: the pastries are pretty good, it's way easy walking distance from campus or the Units, and you can get a coffee and an espresso brownie at 11pm while checking Wikipedia over airbears and tapping out a paper. While that can't completely redeem Caffe Strada's sins, it goes a long way.
Update: Shucks, they seem to be closing at 11 sometimes this summer -- so much for my late-night refuge.
People thought this was:
Best coffee/americano in Berkeley. Of course I love Peet's as well. Love the inside and outside cafe seating. Not a whole lot inside compared to other cages but I come here to talk an just hang out so I don't need the indoors so much.
Mocha biancha is the best in the world. Seriously. And I don't even like mochas. I'm a die hard coffee guy. But love the mochas and the "coffee" which is really an americano here. Price is great. Atmosphere is lively and subdued at the same time. Price is good. Location is one street crossing from campus. Although uphill on the southeast side.
Oh and FREE wi-fi. gotta love it.
Happy -belated- Anniversary!
I still wear my Strada shirt to help with "word-of-mouth" =D
The drinks are great and this place is THE reason I drink Bianca Mochas and Mochas. I only started drinking coffee / espresso a few months ago and I pretty much drink it medicinally. I dislike the bitter taste of coffee and this place really makes it easy for me to get my caffeine "fix". It's also open until MIDNIGHT... which makes it automatically better then any other cafe in Berkeley.
The people are friendly and happy to make your drink "your way". I've tried Bianca / White Mochas from Starbucks, Yali's, and a dozens of other cafes and this place is still the best. I've even purchased a Nespresso and Ghiridelli's White Chocolate Sauce, but I still prefer Strada.
I've seen the owner, Daryll, a few times and he's always been friendly and nice to interact with.

Strada is by far the quintessential of all coffee houses that you would think of. It is an excellent space with open air seating on the nice corner of College & Bancroft, across from the UC Berkeley Shool of Law. Here, you will find people drinking coffee and reading a book for fun, for study, or because they are trying to look smart (or all of the above). They will discuss everything from politics to movies. Many of the university's GSI's (graduate student instructors) will hold their office hours here during the spring and summer months. Even when it gets cold, they have plenty of heaters keeping you warm when it gets cold and the trees provide shade from the sun when it's bright. I truly love it.
Their prices are good and their coffee is excellent. I would always get a small mocha and, when necessary, request an extra shot of espresso. They also provide a delightful, though small, selection of pastries. The only downside is that they are cash only. I just dont get behind the cash only concept. It's just not practical. And if your laptop has range, you can swing free wifi from the campus' AirBears network.
the proprietors of Strada apparently also operate the Free Speech Movement Cafe (FSM) that is actually on the the campus in the undergraduate library (why do they split us up like that? that just seems mean). I prefer Strada over FSM personally, but FSM has more seating available. Especially during the summer because they have a bigger patio.
People thought this was:
I do like Caffe Strada. I have no problem whatsoever with it's location, the quality of their drinks, or service or anything else. I am 100% in support of this cafe, and I hope future generations will continue to patronize this wonderful establishment.
What I do have a problem with is the GODDAMN GRAD STUDENTS WHO THINK OUTDOOR CAFES ARE THEIR PRIVATE FUCKING OFFICES.
There are some who believe that cafes like Strada should be the study domains of the Grad Students. To them I say, "eat shit and die".
To others who believe that cafes should be enjoyed by everyone, not just the academic elite who demand silence (at outdoor cafes), I'll give you a high-five the next time I see y'all.
To the uptight Graduate Students who can't deal with people playing music outside or having animated conversations that disturb your studying, I have only this to say:
"PICK UP YOUR BOOKS, AND GET YOUR ASS TO THE LIBRARY"
Yes, there I said it. THE FUCKING LIBRARY. If you want quiet and isolation, the Library has worked for generations of students around the world. Use it, and let the rest of us (and the less-uptight Graduate Students) enjoy Caffe Strada without your holier-than-thou attitude.

The always popular Caffe Strada is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, so owner Daryl Ross will be giving away a FREE cup of coffee all day on February 20th, 2009.
Also that same week (2/16 - 2/20), they will give away many prizes: T-shirts, gift certificates to nearby Adagia Restaurant and the Bancroft Hotel.
According to Ross, the caffe is the birthplace of the white hot chocolate and white mocha (bianca) drinks, copied by others. Great outdoor seating!

It was my first time revisiting this cafe since 2002. I had their green tea and had a great time hanging out with friends. The place is still filled with students with their lap tops and the outdoor patio located on the street corner bring a cute, romantic ambiance made perfect for people watching. They also have a better pastry selection than others nearby, and their white mocha is still one of the best around.
Unfortunately last night was cold but we were told that the heat lamps to the side of the cafe were not working. The servers never made an attempt to fix them and this led to overcrowding on one side of the cafe while the few who sat to the side had to bear the cold in the dark. Another limitation: No outdoor outlets for laptops so expect to bring a laptop with a long battery life. After all considered, this cafe is still the perfect place to hang out on a warm summer night.
So here's my rating for the cafe during winter and spring: 3 stars. I can't wait for the weather to get better so I can really make use of this place.
People thought this was:
Classic Berkeley coffee joint - and good hot cocoa, too.
You could literally stay all day - and many students do, so come early to stake your territory.
Super location right on College Ave.
People thought this was:
Love love love this place because:
- out door seating with heaters. Perfect for studying, catching up with a friend or just soaking in your surroundings
- proximity to my second home, Wurster. Made lots of 11:55am coffee run.
- bianca mochas are delicious, though drinking it daily caused me to pack on a few pounds. Inactive life style may also contribute to that. Also tried Milano's and it didnt compare. Iced hits the spot on hot days.
- great service! Nice people behind the counter, fast service, though I wouldnt go in 5 minutes before the hour--it is packed. 10 minutes before may get you out in time, 15 is safest.
- i've seen a live jazz band playing on a sunday afternoon.
It is pretty hard to get indoor seating during finals week. Any other time's not as hard, though I dont usually see a lot of availability. If not, just grab a drink and walk over to the fountain and enjoy the sunshine (if weather permits). I miss this place.
People thought this was:
Usually, my best Sundays happen when I start my day here doing soduku with my cappuccino.
single ladies--great place to meet foreign guys, esp in the summer!
two words: BIANCA MOCHA!
after reading the reviews, i made it a point to check this place out when i went up north for a mini-vacation. it was well worth it! my brother and i got to the place right when they had just opened for the day so we practically owned the place. but as time passed, people came in various states of dress... there's your pillow head... there's your business type... then there's your professor type... all having one goal: to get their first cup of coffee for the day.
how i wish they had one down here in L.A.
I'm really surprised that so many people rank this shop so well. I stopped in and thought it was... okay...
The coffee was nice but nothing special. The pastries not particularly fresh. The service nothing spectacular. Cash-only would have been nice to know before I walked to the counter, the signs weren't very visible, so I had to bum $5 off a friend.
Yeah... I mean... it's just... there... it's fine... but didn't blow the wind up my skirt.

Because it's seventy degrees out on this lovely January afternoon, every other student at UC Berkeley also came up with the idea of going to Yogurt Park. I had to get back to lab so I could write Yelp reviews, so I didn't have time to wait around for a snack. So I hit up Strada instead for a banana nut muffin. They are generally very good at emergency muffins. I like their americanos also, and their outdoor studying areas are heated for the 3 weeks per year when the weather is too inclement to sit outside. Not bad, Strada.
Guys, I just had the greatest idea--I'm going to make a bran muffin with banana chunks and call it a "branana nut muffin."
People thought this was:
outstanding espresso drinks. Were it not for the overcrowding, this spot would be ideal. Unless you are a Cal student, it's not a great place to hang out... but again, outstanding espresso and if you can stop early in the morning, it's at it's best. The patio is very cool.... when I took a class at UC Extension a few years back I could go very early and enjoy quiet bliss. Other than that, take it to go.
This place IS Berkeley. Whenever I mention Cal to a fellow alumni, Strada somehow usually works its way into the conversation. It is also prime location in the UC area because anyone who walks down College Ave to get to class passes right by it (and I'd say thats a majority of the south side of campus. No one cares about north side anyways).
That being said, there are really only two things I used to go there for. Coffee to start my morning, and if I was desperate for caffeine for a late study night, an espresso brownie (more affectionately know as a 'crack' brownie by my sorority friends). For those two things, Strada was great. And hey, I'm lazy, and it was right around the corner!
What I never really got though was why people loved this place so much for studying. Most of the seating is outside, and if its a nice sunny warm day, great, but those are pretty rare in Berkeley, so I'd much rather spend my study time up the street at the I-house cafe. They do have outdoor heaters, but they don't always work and if its raining, forget finding one of the few tables inside available.
All in all, great for a quick coffee stop or for that crack brownie craving, but I'll leave it to everyone else for studying. The more of you who frequent Strada, the less I have to fight for a table at I-house (or had to when I was actually in college...)
Since this is my last year on campus I figure I'd write a review about the place I visit 3-4 times a week... and that's gotten me through many a early morn and late nite.
And now a song:
After being rundown with homework from my class
I simply couldn't function, but I knew I had to pass
I came across a place that's magical some say
Oh caffe strada you certainly made my daaaayyyyyyyyyy!
(insert applause)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.Many a Cal students taste buds have been delighted by you're oh so wonderful brews. Try out the Strada Bianca Mocha...they are amazing.
Also they are super fast.... even when the line is out the door I've never waited longer than 5 minutes!
Why is it at Starbucks it takes 5 minutes to make my crap cup of coffee but these guys get mine Bianca Mocha done in 45 seconds? Awesome!
People thought this was:
Big, BIG props to the staff who saved my work laptop after I forgot it on the benches outside.
I can't thank you guys enough!
Otherwise, I went to Cal for my undergrad so Strada was a staple of student life. Their white chocolate mocha & americano are my fav's.
I have two major complaints about this place.
1) The espresso tastes like gas station coffee that has already been consumed and urinated into a dirty sock.
2) They charge for soy milk, even just a tiny bit to put on top of a cup of coffee! There's no getting around their stupid $.50 charge. It's an outrageous price to start with and ridiculous to charge the same amount for an entire drink made out of soy milk as for a splash in a very full cup of overpriced coffee. Plus, they only have vanilla soy milk. GROSS.
The servers seem nice enough, but I proclaim them all to be douche bags for the soy thing. It'd be swell if they could learn to pull a descent shot too.

Reclining on the raw wood bench, my eyes slowly move over the fixed income equations, capital sigmas like Pacmen fleeing the relentless ghosts of continuous compounding. The sun filters through the canopy of green leaves, like a sieve of foliage over me and Strada's other customers, letting only a soft glow through, perfect to read by in the late summer afternoon.
Birds conference just beyond the leaves, and I scrawl more equations in my notebook, branches of binomial trees unfolding like the boughs above my head, present values dancing and disappearing like the ice in my drink. It's Saturday morning, we're in Berkeley, the world moves slowly, there is a cool breeze and plenty of others reading here in this grove, in this old library of wood and leaves, the pleasant chill air, the soil underfoot and the arching majesty of the Bay sky.

strada, thanks for the free coffee drink on your 20th anniversary. the line was long but went real quick. My BF & i received a free caffe strada t-shirt, temp tattoo, and a yummy free drink of our choice. And i was able to get soy!
I LOVE the fact that its 100 % eco-friendly down to the lightbulbs, corn cups, and biodegradable balloons it had for the celebration.
Thanks for the friendly service and free gifts. Cheers to another 20 yrs.
Cafe Strada. MmMmMmM just saying Strada ...you know you're in for a treat!!
Since moving from The Bay Area, East Bay Represent...What...What, there's been a lack of coffee shops in O.C. that I could call home; yea I know that's what I get for moving to this god-forsaken area.
Whether you're a a student cramming for finals, caffeine addict, on a date, looking for a place to catch up with friends Strada has an awesome atmosphere whether you're inside or warming up under the heaters in the patio.
The Menu's simple. Italian Sodas, Mochas, Espressos, Cappuccinos, Teas, Cakes, and Pastries.
Rye's Choice: ICED BIANCA!! Once it hits your lips...its so good. This drink is not your ordinary Strabucks garbage White Mocha. Strada overnight ships in a limited amount of Bianca mixture from Italy. Once it arrives the masterminds in the back sprinkle in the finishing touch. Ok....that's far from the truth but I keep thinking that because it just taste that good.
Parking. The trick is to just sit and wait Bancroft. People are always coming and going so if you're patient just squat around and you'll see a space free up.
The servers here remind me of that Old Arcade game Beer Tapper. The drinks come out snappy, quick, and with a bit of T.L.C.
