Yali’s Qualcomm Cafe - Berkeley

I was offered a substitution ingredient in my salad because they were out of the usual one and the lady who makes the coffee chimed in just as I was about to pay to deny it..

Bought a coffee and croissant and sat down to do my homework. An hour in I was asked to leave the restaurant because I brought an additional snack to eat. Food itself was good but this policy is asinine.

Friendly staff, awesome space, great coffee. I subtract one star for the most horrible salad I have ever eaten in my whole life at this Yali's. It tastes like kitchen scraps my father prepares for his chickens. I had a few of my office mates taste the salad to confirm that it was the worst salad ever. Do not order the Asian salad. Nothing Asian about it, and it tastes horrifically bad! I do love Yali's in general. I just hope they will taste this salad themselves and then change it so that it tastes good instead of bad. <3

Best coffee I've had on campus! However, beware that they have a $4 minimum for debit card transactions and charge a transaction fee for credit cards.
