Like me, she commented on how incredibly tiny the bubbles are in the steamed milk, making the latte creamier than most versions in SF. She's a student at Cal, but she says that one drink at RR has ruined her for the student-favored Caffe Strada. Where in Berkeley can she get a great latte, comparable to that at Ritual Roasters? It would be best if the place is walkable from campus, but anywhere nearby would be helpful because she can probably convince others to drive if it's worth it.

Neffeli is on Euclid between Hearst and Ridge about a half block North of North Gate on the West side of the street. Mon Oct 03 14:45:35 -0700 2005 191356 0 Morton the Mousse
