The Hidden Cafe - Berkeley, San Francisco Bay Area

Hidden Cafe is Berkeley’s best-kept secret for coffee and breakfast sandwiches in a picturesque setting. The shop is situated next to Strawberry Creek Park for an impromptu walk or picnic. Baristas exclusively use Rasa Caffe beans, so drip coffee tends to have pleasant acid. Try a specialty drink like the kokuto latte ($5.50), sweetened with black sugar from Okinawa. Hidden Cafe hosts weekly pop-ups like Michoz, which puts a Peruvian spin on the sausage McMuffin ($12). Seating indoors and outdoors can be hard to come by but there’s ample space on the lawn.
