De-lish!
This place is a favorite of mine. I used to go back time and time again for the carrot cake. I've moved away now, and only wish I had the recipie. There is also a dish that my friends and I call "the erotic cake", but i can't remember the real name. I think it's a triple chocolate type of thing.

Quiet place to meet
This is my favorite coffee shop for quiet meetings. The back half of the coffee shop is generally quiet and has tables to spread out (i.e., work) unlike most of the other cafes nearby which tend to be noisy and crowded. The front half of cafe is more crowded, sociable. The Berkeley Unix Users Group (BUUG) meets here most Thursday evenings (7-9 PM) (1st, 2nd, 3rd Thur of month).

Local favorite, fun ambience, but if you're looking for fresh pastries, go elsewhere. Wide selection of sugary things to accompany your tea or coffee, but they tend to be dry or stale.

This is one restaurant split in two, so that half of it is a coffeeshop with excellent joe and pastries, and the other half is a regular cafe. One of the interesting things about this arrangement is that both halves share a liquor license, so it's possible to get aperitifs in the coffee shop portion, as well as chocolate liqueur in a mocha. The coffee drinks and the Italian sodas are great. The pastries are good. The periodically changing art displays are interesting. It's open until late at night.t
Recommended: soy latte; conversation with Street Sheet philosophers out front
