Berkeley: Espresso Roma (CLOSED); restaurant review

80 North

Espresso Roma  

CLOSED  2960 College Ave./Ashby Ave., Elmwood, (510) 644-3773.  Daily 6:30am-10pm. 

Supremely well located on a busy corner on a popular shopping street, Espresso Roma’s kitchen offers pre-made sandwiches and pastries along with specialty coffees.

Among the drinks are lavender lemonade, soy chai latte, caramella latte, Italian sodas, draft beers, and my choice--a frothy mocha bianca.

For lunch, a sample salad platter includes three salads of your choice--perhaps curried cauliflower, marinated beets, or roasted Brussels sprouts--plus toasted foccacia bread.  From 4 p.m. on, buy a pint and get a free slice of pizza.  Popular as a hangout for students and travel writers completing guidebooks, this spacious coffeehouse has several large rooms with high ceilings and provides plenty of outlets, wi-fi, and good people watching, plus outdoor seating is available in front.
