"Signal is a local coffee chain & roaster featuring mainly medium to dark roast beans. Overall solid coffee but on the pricier side compared to many local coffee chains in the Bay. The ube latte was good but the flavor of ube itself does not shine through as I would’ve liked. I’ve been to Signal coffee a few times at the SF Ferry Plaza Famers market so it’s good to visit the shop. This particular location is a bit small and although I see students studying here from campus, it’s not the most spacious for extended stay. Will try the pastries next time!"

"I stopped in here around 4 pm before going to the Study Hall rooftop across the street since I had 30 min to spare. There were some people sitting/ eating for coffee but no line to order. No one really greeted us when we walked in and took a few min for them to say they would be with us which is fine as it was only two of them making food items & coffee. It wasn't the fastest service, but they were friendly and answered by questions. There is a nice variety of pastries to choose from. I got a chocolate chip cookie, and it was standard, good. I got the GPL, Great Pumpkin Latte which is the seasonal drink. It was made pretty quickly & looked delish. Tasted so creamy with a hint of pumpkin. Wasn't too pumpkiny, but was a solid latte. My friend got the espresso tonic, which I think is an acquired taste. There is some seating at the wall and a little couch nook to sit at to enjoy your drinks. Also some outside seating. I am never in Berkeley, but I would come back when I'm in town. I could see drinks/ food taking a while if it is busy, so l may avoid it at prime time."

"Delicious coffee and unique pastries. We got a toasted coconut latte (toasted coconut was a seasonal syrup and it was really good, not overly sweet in the drink which I like), an espresso tonic, and a matcha strawberry mochi pastry. Would highly recommend this place for a quiet cafe vibe and delectable coffee and baked goods. They have a food menu too, but we didn't try it. The matcha strawberry mochi pastry was really good, not too sweet and the flavors mixed very well."

"I usually review places that are either amazing or terrible - this place is neither. I wanted to love it because it’s near campus and they have bagels. Most times I’ve had a bagel here it’s been great! But the last time I went the bagel was weirdly HARD. I asked the barista and he said it might be stale and he made me a new one. Which was also so stale it could barely bite into it - yuck. Not sure why they’re serving that: The coffee is okay. The staff are lovely!"

"always excellent oat milk cappuccinos, love their food offerings as well. delicious mochi pastries and egg bites for wheat/gluten-free. but also great bagels, morning pastries, and those wonderful el porteño empanadas. cool music posters and decor."
