Berkeley Coffee Spot Earns Recognition

BERKELEY, CA — Mind Coffee in Berkeley was named to a list of the "Nine Best New Bay Area Coffee and Tea Houses."

The establishment at 1816 Euclid Ave. is a wellness concept "structured around mental health," according to the list recently published by The Mercury News.

"A bookshelf offers titles such as the Dalai Lama’s 'Healing Anger' and greeting cards that assert 'Your feelings are always valid.' Ergonomic furniture invites you to perch on your knees or sit on the floor on what resemble gray egg sacs."

Beverages include green tea and an iced dirty matcha latte with homemade crema and two shots of espresso. If you need something to nibble with your drink, offerings include salted bittersweet-chocolate cookies and buttery kouign amann with rich chocolate or hazelnuts.
