TAROCCO

Located in Sawtooth building in Berkeley, this cafe has a refreshing vibe. The owner Sequoia was the partner of immense popular Sequoia Diner. It has a beautiful modern interior, ever changing menu comprises healthy clean simple yet delicious food, staff are friendly. I hope more people will discover this hidden gem.

Stopped at Tarrocco for lunch, and had a delicious & fresh lunch. The prices were affordable, but I wish the portion size was just a little more generous/satiating so knocking a star.

Service was great, and this is a really wonderful place to come grab lunch with a friend or even a larger party.

Will definitely be back!

First time visiting Tarocco, definitely not the last! Have very fond memories of this space when it used to be Westside Bakery and Cafe, many years ago. Great location, great space, thrilled that Tarocco is here to stay. 🌞
Took a friend for lunch to celebrate her birthday. She really needed to eat somewhere that is aware and acknowledges food sensitivities and allergies, for her it is gluten and alliums(garlic/onions). I called a few days before and happened to get the owner on the phone, who assured me that they can absolutely feed someone with any food intolerances, safely. Everything the minute we walked in, was wonderful. The space is light, bright, airy, and the food is perfect. The staff is engaging, funny, and present for any questions, and suggestions.
Food is presented beautifully, vibrant colors, fresh produce, ample portions, the list goes on and on. Normally not a flavored coffee drink fan, but the Cardamom Rose Latte, sooo good!!! Get the Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookie🍪! My friend ordered the Tarocco Rice Bowl, perfect! Also had the soup of the day and avocado toast, sat outside, no rush, no waiting, attentive and caring staff. Very much looking forward to returning soon! 🥳

Wow! We were in town for a special event and didn't know where to eat. Happened upon this place and were absolutely thrilled with the fresh menu, wine list, great owner/server and clean, comfortable seating options! We shared a Winter salad with chicken and Avocado toast. I need to come back here soon.

Tarocco is one of my favorite East Bay Brunch/Lunch spots. A wonderful seasonal menu where everything is fresh, delicious, and nutritious. You can grab a coffee, beer, wine, or other, and post up for hours in this thoughtfully designed space filled with natural light. Whether grabbing lunch to go, or dining in, you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.
