I only frequented the Cafe Mediterraneum a handful of times while at Cal, usually because of the stifling smell of bleach, etc. Now Wall Berlin, or Cafe Intermezzo, on the other hand, was much more my jam.

- nanomonkey 6y agoIntermezzo is back. They rebuilt it after the building moved down. Not quite the same, the prices are through the roof.
- mapgrep 6y agoWall Berlin was indeed lovely! I believe they called their house brew “rocket fuel.” As I recall there was also an unholy drink involving milk, sprite, and melon Torani syrup? And the people at the tables outside were a key part of the Berkeley scenery there on Durant! I also was big into Caffe Strada. Similarly, I never really felt strongly about Cafe Med, even when I lived near Dwight (Unit 2 and environs) and it was nominally on my way to/from campus.
- nanomonkey 6y agoI worked there for a short time in college, mainly so that I could get unlimited free drinks, and rocket fuel was actually brewed twice...some folks ordered it with a shot added. Oye. The people that sat outside were always entertaining. There was a young man with a foot fetish that would constantly be asking women if he could see there feet. Unlike Oakland, Berkeley also had some of the most interesting bums.
