The iced honey lavender latte is sooo good!! I love how they give the option to use your own cup unlike many other places around the area. The service is always quick and friendly. They have various beverage options for everyone's taste.

I got a really nice deal off of Snackpass for 1951, so I ordered the Iced Honey Lavender Latte. Service took a bit longer than expected because I'd visited during rush hour, and it was hard to find seating because it's a relatively small and cozy cafe with a lot of students staying for extended periods of time to work or study (though to be fair, there was plenty of outdoor seating, but it had been raining earlier that day so nobody wanted to sit outside). Everything aside, I thought the drink was really great. It is on the stronger side with 2 shots of espresso, but it's balanced with milk and lavender syrup (all of which you can adjust to your liking). A latte true to its name; you could really taste the different layers of the drink. It was a lovely treat, and I'll definitely be back to try the matcha latte and the honey oat latte! P.S. 1951 Coffee Co. is a nonprofit training cafe that supports refugees, so you can purchase with assurance that your money is going to a good cause!

As I was in the area, I decided to stop by 1951 Coffee Company for some caffeine. After seeing all the reviews, I was intrigued by their matcha and honey lavender latte. The matcha flavor was great, and unlike most places that skimp on the matcha. They give you extra which I appreciate. I really enjoyed their honey lavender latte! It was 9/10 for me and the coffee was strong but didn't overpower the lavender taste. Besides the great coffee/tea, 1951 Coffee Company stands for something greater- assisting refugees kickstart their journey in the US.

The Lavender honey latte is really good . The coffee is spacious with a lot of indoor and outdoor tables. Great place to study .

I was out in Berkeley for a rare occasion, and was looking for a quick cafe to grab a drink and a meal when voilaaa, 1951 Coffee Company was just right in front of me. They had pretty good reviews, so I thought why not! I ordered an iced matcha (+ oat milk, vanilla syrup) and a matcha mochi donut. Both items impressed me soooo much!! The matcha was more fragrant than I had expected. The sweetness was just right and the vanilla syrup helped to enhance the matcha's flavor profile. The mochi donut was just the right texture, and most importantly, wasn't too sweet. Inside, the store's actually super clean! I ordered on a kiosk, but they also have a regular cashier if you'd rather talk to an employee. My total was close to $12-13 which felt pretty reasonable. Would definitely recommend!

We had a hard time finding a coffee shop that was open early. We walked and ended up here a little after 8. It was nice and quiet. We were pleasantly surprised by how spacious this place was. The cashier and barista were kind. We sat on the corner and noticed there were plenty of charging spots for your electronics which was a nice touch for students. We ordered the honey oat latte and the masala chai, both of which were fantastic.

Great place for studying during the school year! Loved coming to get my 20% off Lavender Latte on Snackpass and supporting a good cause, which is supporting refugees! The drinks are on the sweeter side, got a mouthful of sweetness at certain times making me feel woozy, but it is chilled and very refreshing otherwise!

How do you elevate some of the best coffee in world? Pair it with a barista graduation program for refugees and help a great cause of promoting their well being. They have pour overs, espresso and a nice selection of baked goods to go with them. Went with a few friends and will visit again very soon.

Super cute lil coffee joint Nice staff Chill vibes/music Adorable hot chocolate heart designs on top of a solid cocoa

I LOVE 1951! As a college student I would come here all the time. 2 years later, I continue to visit 1951 whenever I come to the Berkeley area. There is a variety of coffee options from the honey oat latte, cappuccino, rose lemonade, or the seasonal offers. The Cocomac and sparkling strawberry lychee lemonade are all fantastic. There are multiple options for coffee around Berkeley, but the service and quality of 1951 coffee in unmatched. If you have to make a coffee choice, I recommend taking a visit. If you are in the mood for a pastry: note that 1951 does offer goods that they get from Third Culture bakery. Third culture bakery is also a delight so I do recommend buying one of their pastries if you take a visit as third culture is a little further.
