Looking for a local local for the days I don't want to hoof it all the way to University or beyond (what? when would I NOT want to do that??) I came across local favorite Sack's Coffee House.. They already make a lot of Daily Cal's best cafe lists.. but I hadn't known that just yet. I just saw a place I've not been to, and they weren't too busy what with it being between semesters..
First thing I noticed were these GIANT Rice Krispie treats:
..and the row of various cookies.. distracting me from ordering my coffee:
I ordered a cafe au lait & a red velvet choco chip cookie:
Cookie was so freaking good! Crispy cookie, but not so hard it crumbled from breaking pieces off.. flavor was so good. Sweet but not too sweet. The coffee? I could taste the coffee notes beneath the steamed milk.. which often isn't the case with a lot of au laits I've had.. Happy Camper. Thank you!
I came back today and tried the wifi.. Wifi was just fine, thanks.. not hyperspeed like a place I frequent now & again on Shattuck.. but fine, and much better than my regular hangout over on U. While I did some online reading, I treated myself to lunch..
Iced coffee & people watching:
Club Sandwich (toasted nice!) came with a pepperoncini and a sad pickle slice (which I did eat..so it wasn't that sad):
As many may already know:
Sack's Coffee House
2701 College Ave.
Berkeley, CA 94705
(510) 644-2233
They are open most every day from what I understand and have lots of other good food.. so I would expect to see more food "porn" from me here at some point now & again. I do expect I'll go back there now & again.. especially for those cookies. As for the crowds, I'm sure they'll be back too.
