What is Berkeley Cafe? Anchoring the residential eastern stretch of The Esplanade, Berkeley Cafe operates as an unpretentious neighbourhood hub focused on made-to-order sandwiches, hearty breakfasts, and steady espresso. The interior is warm, cozy, and stripped of pretense, offering casual indoor counter-and-table seating that suits solo morning pit stops as easily as midday work breaks.
Berkeley Cafe Menu & What to Order Griddled deli staples drive the menu, highlighted by a deeply savoury 'Chopped Cheese' and a melty, thinly sliced 'Philly Cheese-Steak' packed into toasted rolls. Lighter mid-day options include a substantial 'Cobb Salad' and a crisp, herbaceous 'Falafel', while early birds should zero in on the 'Sausage Egg and Cheese on a Croissant' alongside a well-steamed 'Large Latte'. The food hits that exact sweet spot of dependable, honest comfort fare tailored for on-the-go fuel.
Know Before You Go This is a walk-in, counter-service spot with rapid turnaround times, so you will rarely wait long even when the midday office and resident rush hits. Street parking is available along The Esplanade, or you can take the King streetcar and stroll a couple of blocks south. Keep in mind that doors close by 6:00 p.m. on weekdays and 5:00 p.m. on Saturdays, with Sunday operations largely geared toward off-premise delivery.
