“ Sat Nam Wahey Guru!! Alhamdulilah for your 1 yrs Anniversary. Your Jaffa Orange Latte is the best!! I also like your Seasonal varieties. ”
“ Charming cafe with unique flavor combinations of drinks, alternative milk options & vegan pastries. Drinks are not overwhelmingly sweet like other cafes at medium sweetness. Cappuccino was delicious with soymilk! Cafe has a table in the back with cinnamon, chocolate powder, honey, simple syrup, vanilla, and milks. Will definitely be coming back every time I’m in Berkeley! ”
“ Unassuming on the outside but absolutely cozy and welcoming on the inside. Delicious, creative coffee and tea offerings infused with a warm neighborhood feel. Seriously high quality coffee if you're a coffee lover. ”
“ Jaffa Coffee Roasters is absolutely my favorite place to visit! I drive 35 minutes just for their coffee! Whether you prefer it iced or hot, the coffee is fantastic. We tried the Salted Caramel by the Sea, Jaffa Orange Latte, Strawberry Sage Creek, and their Flat White—everything was absolutely AMAZING!! The atmosphere is warm and friendly, and you always feel so welcome! ”
“ Some of the best coffee I’ve ever had in my life. Idk what these guys are doing with those beans but it’s working. I’ve had a few drinks from their Winter menu and now from their Spring menu including the matcha latte (not pictured) and everything I’ve had is so good. Wish you guys stayed open much later ”
“ This cafe in Berkeley truly impressed me! They serve the best quality coffee, and the matcha is incredibly smooth and well-balanced. The pastries are a highlight crispy and absolutely delicious which isn’t something you find everywhere. The baristas were polite and friendly. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting. Highly recommend this place for everyone Today I tried the signature cold drinks at Jaffa, and they were absolutely incredible. The cold drinks are just as flavorful as the hot ones. Hands down, the best spot in the Bay Area. ”
“ Great coffee and friendly service. Aesthetics of the place are also memorable and overall just has a calm vibe. You'll often find people seated and working with laptops but there is also a sense of community there as well. Owner's are always there and friendly and passionate about what they do. The variety of coffee and staple drinks they make is also very diverse. I'm boring so I get an almond latte consistently and it's consistently as good as it always is. It's Palestinian owned and proudly advertised and a nice addition to that area. Baked goods can be a little disappointing. Would love to see some Palestinian treats. ”
“ Jaffa Coffee Roasters is the real deal. This isn’t just a coffee shop—it’s a craft coffee experience. From the moment you walk in, you can tell they take their roasting seriously. Every cup is made with precision, passion, and top-tier beans, and you can taste the difference. One of the roasters—actually, the head roaster—is an engineer, and it shows. You’ll see all kinds of scientific glassware (think Erlenmeyer flasks and beakers) used in their brewing process, giving the whole place a next-level, almost lab-like vibe. But don’t let that fool you—this spot isn’t just about science; it’s about heart. The service? Impeccable. The staff is knowledgeable, warm, and genuinely passionate about their craft. They’ll walk you through their roasts, recommend something based on your taste, and make sure you leave with the perfect cup. And beyond the coffee itself, what makes Jaffa truly special is the cause behind it. It’s a Palestinian-owned business, and you can feel the love and cultural pride infused into every detail. The interior is stunningly decorated, creating a cozy yet modern space that makes you want to sit and stay awhile. But let’s get to the most important part—the coffee. It’s phenomenal. Smooth, rich, perfectly roasted—whether you go for a classic espresso, a pour-over, or something more adventurous, every sip delivers. Jaffa Coffee Roasters is everything you want in a specialty coffee shop and more. Quality coffee, beautiful mission, and incredible service. 100% worth a visit. ”
