"Sightglass is a San Francisco-born company known for small-batch roasting and sourcing green coffee beans from distinctive global producers. The Berkeley cafe is its first opening in the Bay Area in almost a decade. It's located at 2169 University Ave., on the bottom floor of the university's Helen Diller Anchor House, in a roomy space designed by local Lundberg Design architects."
"“Coffee is a seasonal fruit and we source it directly from origin in freshly harvested lots,” the website continues. “We practice small production methods that allow us to scrutinize and perfect our processes. Attaining a perfect roast is an intuition, a smell, a sound, a slight change in color - it's about careful attention to detail that comes through in every cup.”"

"Coffee ranges from $4.75 for a Quick Cup - add two bucks to get it from a Hario V60 pour-over apparatus - to $8.25 for an Iced Brown Butter Miso Caramel Latte With Cold Foam. In between, there's a mocha made with Dandelion Chocolate, flat whites, organic teas, espresso tonics and a Vanilla Paste Latte. There are also flavored cold coffees on tap and a rotating seasonal beverage, which, as of press time, was a Cookie Butter Latte."
Sightglass Coffee opened in May across from UC Berkeley at 2169 University Ave. The cafe is on the bottom floor of the Helen Diller Anchor House in a spacious room designed by Lundberg Design. The San Francisco-based company is known for small-batch roasting and sourcing green coffee beans from distinctive global producers. Sightglass began in 2009 in a World War I-era warehouse in San Francisco’s SoMa district and now operates multiple Bay Area shops plus one in West Hollywood. The company’s name references a viewing window on its vintage PROBAT roaster. Coffee is sourced directly from origin in freshly harvested lots, using small production methods and careful attention to roast details. Drinks range from $4.75 to $8.25, with seasonal beverages and cold coffees on tap. The food menu includes sandwiches, paninis, burritos, salads, and pastries from Oakland’s Sunday Bakeshop.
