"Delicious! I got a mushroom empanada and a latte. The couple who runs the place are so nice and the seating is really comfortable. There's also a little outdoor area."

"Sweet Potatos Up Beet Café is really a cozy place! The atmosphere in the courtyard gives a continental feel, and the staff is always super nice and helpful. The coffee and the accompaniments are both generous, tasty and affordable. It is a place where you can really enjoy a relaxing moment with a cup of coffee."

"Jennette (sp?) is lovely--so excited about this new neighborhood place. Nice inside with a beautiful side alley and tables out front on a real European-feeling sidewalk! Great coffee too!"

"A classy little retreat right near BART and El Cerrito Plaza. Been here before and enjoyed the indoor and sidewalk seating, but I just discovered the courtyard. Feels like I'm in a Mediterranean cafe. So serene and beautiful. Grapevines and bougainvillea."

"Dang! This place is good! The empanada had a flaky crust and came with a small side salad lightly dressed with olive oil and salt-and a few beets, of course. :) Both were so good that I ended up eating the fenominal dipping sauce on its own. Super friendly people. Worth the trek to el cerrito!"
