Souvenir Coffee

Souvenir Coffee sits at 2701 College Avenue in the Elmwood, two doors from the old Sack's space the team took over after that shop closed in 2020. Souvenir is a Berkeley-based small-batch roaster focused on specialty grade coffee for everyday drinkers, not chasing rare lots for show. The bar runs espresso, lattes, and drip on the house roasts, with bagels coming out of the kitchen for the morning rush. The cafe leans low-waste and locally focused, with regulars who treat it as a daily stop on the walk down College from the Cal campus. Open daily, including weekends. Order the latte if you came in for what Berkeley locals already know. Order a drip and a fresh bagel if you want the Elmwood morning the way the regulars run it.
