Roast&Toast Cafe

Really chill cafe. I tried their booza, which was pretty good. It had a stretchy and thick texture, which was good. The staff was friendly and helpful. There were a lot of people when I went. Most were working on their laptops and locked in. Overall, a nice place to be at.

Cool to try out this stretchy Arabian ice cream. Very aesthetic toppings - Phyllo dough (kitaifi), pistachio, and rose petals. The stretchy, elastic qualify of the booza ice cream comes from the same ingredient used in some chewing gum and taffy: mastic, a resin from the mastic tree. Fun service - the ice cream is served at a cute food stand on the left of the cafe upon entry. You can choose and try 4 flavors of ice cream - I tried the original, caramel, and rose ice cream and ordered the caramel one with all toppings ($8). The caramel one had really good flavour, like honey, not too strong on caramel, and was very creamy. The toppings were really crunchy. The stretchy consistency wasn’t super up my alley but it was cool to try it out. We also ordered the pistachio Nutella twist croissante (very good! Has a lot of rich Nutella and some pistachio cream) and the Zaatar & cheese croissante (very salty).

What an amazing find this place was. I had what they called a Spanish latte which was absolutely delicious. A good rich coffee with a lovely thick, lovely foam. It was absolutely delicious. We went specifically to have the Turkish ice cream. It was something my husband really wanted to try and it was absolutely delicious. The texture is unlike any other ice cream we've ever ever had. The service was truly stellar as well. We were just looking around and getting familiar with the place when they jumped to attention and we're ready to serve us and we're willing to be as helpful as anything friendly. Lovely delicious. Fast everything spectacular. This new coffee shop/ ice cream parlor will do well if it doesn't well Berkeley you don't deserve it then

i got chicken sandwich and cappuccino. the sandwich was ok, the coffee was good tho. it’s become more of a study/work spot for students. people share tables.

Food experience: 4/5 Service and Atmosphere: 5/5 Beautiful Palestinian cafe. They offer halal chicken sandwiches and I only wish they would offer halal turkey and beef. But the quality of the chicken in the sandwiches is tasty. The cafe drinks are really special and highly recommend it. And the simplicity of their croissant flavors like the zataar and cheese croissant is really tasty. They have lots of Kunafa style desserts here too.

I love this place! I came in for the first time today and ordered an iced Spanish coffee and a delicious pastrami croissant sandwich. I was impressed at the range of the menu - coffee, tea, ice cream, cake, breads, and more. The employees were kind and service was fast. The prices are extremely reasonable for great quality items! There is ample seating for a social gathering or just studying. Will definitely be coming back!

Wonderful service from a genuine staff member with hospitality you don’t find in many places. We were given samples to try before choosing a flavor and the presentation was beautiful as shown. Kunafa was also off the charts, 10/10 would definitely recommend

It was a great experience on Sunday afternoon. The pastrami sandwich was perfect. The Arabic sauce added a delightful kick, preventing it from becoming greasy at all. Arabic stretchy ice cream was new to me, but it was quite good. Overall, the food, the ambiance and the staff were all great enough to make me want to return!
