summary: being ruminations on coffee establishments after relocating to the bay area

i have moved to berkeley. of chief importance is finding the coffee. the following is the result of initial recon bike rides.

1. artis. the first espresso i had here was capital P Perfect. the second two were Pretty Good. the cafe music switching over to top 40 at some point was disconcerting.
2. réveille coffee. it was pretty good, though i wasn't too into the breakfast burrito. Further recon revealed that their chilaquiles are really delicious, though.
3. highwire (san pablo). perfectly cromulent
4. cafenated. the espresso was in no way bad, just the one i was least excited about. i did rather enjoy their breakfast burrito, though.
5. coffee conscious. i really hate to say this. i do. but it's the worst coffee i have had in the city. i've been multiple times in disbelief. i also do not like the donuts they carry.
6. my coffee. have only been once but the espresso was very, very good.
7. signal. pretty good. similar tier as Cafenated.
8. the hidden cafe. i do not remember the coffee from here which means it was neither notably bad nor good. mostly i just remember how cramped it is trying to go there if the weather is at all nice out.

still to try: breadxcoffee, coro, royal ground, souvenir, hal's
