“The Porco Dio from CoRo Coffee Roasters in Berkeley, California is described as a drink with a texture somewhere between “ice cream float and chocolate milk.” Yes, please! Using a frozen cold brew rock, espresso, and topped with a coconut cream foam, the Porco Dio sounds like an absolute winner.” Read more on Sprudge.com

Occupying the front of the warehouse-like production area, it’s a wonderfully open space, with amazing high ceilings and a great view of the roasters through a window at the back. You can buy coffee from any of CoRo’s roasters, while there’s a choice of coffee to drink, including a blend, single-origin and decaf on espresso, two options on batch brew filter, another on pour-over plus there’s cold brew.

CoRo Coffee Room was recently chosen by Daily Coffee News as one of the standout new cafes of 2018! Thank you to everyone in our coffee community for an exciting first 6 months.

For the past two years, Bay Area CoRoasters (CoRo) in Berkeley, California, has been helping ignite coffee brands in the Bay Area by providing a shared production roasting space with knowledgeable staff alongside a dazzling range of commercial roasting equipment.

Now CoRo is bringing those brands even further from production and into the fore with the opening of its CoRo Coffee Room, a full-fledged retail cafe featuring a well-appointed bar and a rotating menu of roasts from CoRo member companies.

Berkeley’s CoRo Coffee Room redefines the words “locally roasted” and “fresh.”

The ever-rotating quartet of brands served there is drawn from dozens of member-roasters who craft their product on the premises. Bay Area CoRoasters — as it is formally known — houses four production roasters, a cupping room, and two processing spaces in which coffee can be weighed, bagged, and sealed. Its cafe opened in July.
