Roast & Toast CafeB+

1746 Shattuck Ave., Berkeley, CA 94709 · Cafe, Coffee shop · Gourmet Ghetto

Lively Middle Eastern-leaning cafe known for booza ice cream, strong coffee, and big sandwiches; great vibe and service with occasional waits and crowding.

Why this grade

Roast & Toast Cafe delivers solid neighborhood cafe quality through strong food quality anchored by standout booza and knafeh, paired with warm, attentive service that makes regulars feel welcomed. Reliable execution across coffee and desserts supports its loyal following, though crowded seating during peak times and occasional consistency gaps prevent grade A territory. A welcoming community spot that exceeds typical cafe standards without reaching destination-level distinction.

One caveat: Pricing on single espressos can feel high to some
