Bartavelle Coffee & Wine Bar

One of my favorites in the bay! Come get great coffee, and exceptional food. And you can't go wrong with Acme bread and Kermit Lynch wine next door!

My favorite neighborhood cafe in Berkeley. I missed Cafe Fanny initially when Bartavelle opened business in their location, with different food, etc., but now I go there regularly.

Friendly owner, staff, comfortable to sit and eat at the counter. I had my first avocado toast there, liked it so much, learned how to make it for times that I couldn’t make it to the cafe. Now everyone and their brother offers it, but theirs is still the best version I’ve tasted here and at hip eateries out of state.

Bartavelle only offers avocado toast when avocados are in season; they also make a seasonal (summer) version of tomato tartine using flavorful Early Girl organic dry farmed tomatoes on a thick slather of aioli.

When I was eating grain, I enjoyed eating their special porridge - 4-5 grains, trumpet mushrooms, kale, etc. So savory and tasty.

I loved this place. The food was amazing, the coffee was delicious (I also liked that they offered oat milk) and the entire staff were super helpful. It was a bit more pricey than I expected, but not overpriced by any means.

Had a really great “Persian breakfast” here today. Cappuccino I had was delicious and perfect temp. Cute unique place with friendly staff. The prices were a bit high, don’t know if I’d make this my go to daily coffee place.

Never disappoints. Great coffee and a delightful nosh of California cuisine in avocado toast or trout tartine- my two faves. Diff menus as the day unfolds. Limited but cozy seating....and Acme Bread next door! Win-win.
