Au Coquelet Cafe Restaurant

3.5 stars overall

Great cafe and great place to study, I have been to this spot quite a few times for studying and getting their burgers.

Their burgers are decent nothing crazy but good if you are hungry and studying.

Their coffee is delicious i love the baked goods as well! No private parking, only street parking and super hard to find!

Overall, good studying spot (can be loud so it's more of a discussion based studying!)

Over all the years, this place was the best. All the food here and the people who worked here are truly missed!

Anyone know where they got their carrot cake from? It was some of the best I've ever had! Once you have this quality carrot cake you don't even want anything else !

This is one of my favorite study cafes in Berkeley especially with their aesthetic interior and late hours. You can get coffee and pastries at the front cafe which has a lot of tables and outlets if you're studying. The back area is typically warmer and has tons of seating.

They have pretty much regular cafe food - cake, croissants, etc and coffee but also they have breakfast food that they serve pretty late! We saw a poster for the impossible burger and will definitely be trying that out soon.

This is perfect if you want to study, catch up with people, or have a nice meal -- it's a highly versatile cafe.

Stopped in after a show at the UC Theatre. We were starving and may have had an extra vodka soda. Whoops. Heh. It happens.

Au Coquelet was just what we needed. Lots of seating, open late, fast service, and not terribly expensive. If you're looking for good diner fare and friendly people you'll be all set here.

This spot was recommended by a new friend and it didn't disappoint. It was a decent breakfast but the cost was expensive, its Berkeley, but the food was good. It is not French food though. Not at all.
The eggs were cooked really well and the sausage wasn't over cooked .
My boyfriends huevos rancheros was a huge serving. And he ate it all.
Aero was good and the bloody Mary's big, expensive though, $10.00, yikes.
Anyway...cheers and happy eating.

An old big restaurant. They have a lot of seatings. Separate take out cafe and table service area. Restroom requires passcode to enter. It has an old odors.

Food: steak and eggs - cooked as I requested for. Pretty decent portion for brunch size. Tastes were not surprising but not bad.
American breakfast with pork links- again cooked as requested for. Decent size and taste.

Price: average in Berkeley. Breakfast $40 for two entrees and two drinks before tips.

Service: it was good. Not super attentive.

Interior decor was kind of aged. Not a place I prefer to hang out with friends. It made me want to leave right away after finished my meal.

I went to this place because my beloved Phils location was closed. I have to say that I was surprised by the cleanliness and quality of the food. Way back in the day - the 90's - this place was a filthy, last minute resort for a quick coffee. I stopped going after visiting with a sister who said that she'd die before eating there.

But the layout was amazing and clean. I ordered a mocha and it tasted good. And was created in an environment that didn't have crap and coffee grounds surrounding everything. The glassware was clean as well.

One of my classmates ordered a sandwich and it was fantastic looking. A total contrast to the good old days in the 90's. I look forward to going back and visiting next time I am in the area. I may actually get a salad this time.

This is a classic establishment that hasn't changed much in over 20 years because what it does works just fine, thank you very much.

Want pastries and a coffee for less than $10? Go here. The croissants are not authentic, but they are fresh and buttery and really good in their own right.

Want a tall glass of wine to drink solo for less than $10? Go here. Enjoy your wine while you read your book and people watch, no judgement, rush, or side eyes.

Want breakfast at midnight for less than $10? Go here. You will have warm food in your belly.

Just saw a show at the UC and don't want the night to end, but you only have $10 in your pocket? Go here. There might be more magic to unfold before the town shuts down.

It is hard to describe the magic of this cafe, but it encapsulates a non-forced quirkinesses, outsider poet aesthetic, down-and-out grace, living life without glitter spirit that I love about Berkeley but that is starting to disappear.

Right at the corner of University so parking is a bit difficult the later it gets in the morning. This space is huge, a coffee shop front and then a whole restaurant in the back. Definitely no shortage of outlets too so a perfect place to sit and get some work done. Plenty of tables available and it didn't get too crazy but maybe later on in the day. Their cafe au lait was delicious and served in a tall glass. They have a TV that showed multiple channels at once.

I gave this place four stars because of their coffee and the infinite number of outlets they had that you usually don't find in many coffee shops.

Got a breakfast sandwich (croissant with egg scramble, cheese) and was pleasantly full afterwards. The portion sizes are pretty decent and have reasonable prices! The atmosphere of the café itself is also very cute and quaint -- I hear a lot of people study in the area, and the servers were nice as well! Would come again for a casual breakfast/brunch catch up with a friend :)
