MOB Coffee sits right on Tennyson St in Berkeley, the kind of coffee shop you find and then never want to tell anyone about (too late). The 4.8 rating with almost 200 reviews isn't a fluke. People come here for solid espresso drinks and a space that feels more like a friend's living room than a corporate coffee chain. It's a good spot to post up with a laptop for a few hours, but it also works if you're just grabbing something quick before a walk down Tennyson. Regulars love it for the consistency and the staff who actually remember your order. If you're the type who judges a neighborhood by its coffee shop, this one raises the bar for the whole strip.
