A nice hidden little gem in Berkeley with great coffee and the most amazing display of pastry I have ever seen! A bit of old world charm and taste in an unexpected place.

honestly.. where do I start? we pulled up and instantly felt like I transported to Astoria, NYC (-a nyc lover). I was already excited to have found an Algerian pastry shop and then we had so many options (and found out they sell food too). The worker was kind and helpful in suggestions knowing it was our first time visiting. Their hours are also great, allowing you to stop for late night bites. It's honestly such a gem and more people should come experience it! Don't forget to try their food and coffee as well

What a pleasantly sweet discovery! While roaming Berkeley with my friend, she requested I take us to Belmo Cafe. She was given their pastries and enjoyed them, so she wanted to stop by the store-front. The family-owned cafe is easy to pass by, so I'm not surprised I hadn't been before! The store is quite small and tight, only fitting a few people inside with several tables for two outside. Inside your eyes are delighted with a mixture of French, Turkish, and Algerian desserts and pastries plus a variety of drinks to pair with it. The worker helping us was knowledgeable, generous, and a lot of fun to talk to! We loved how unique the variety was for treats! Not many are labeled but the worker helped identify what were in the pastry cases. My friend had the Tiramisu and I had the Baklava. The baklava was sweet, syrupy, and light. My friend enjoyed her tiramisu. We also had the opportunity to try other baklavas which were delicious. Belmo Cafe is a hidden gem in Berkeley offering a wide variety of baked goods. Service is thoughtful and their offerings are tasty. Find them off University Ave. with metered parking out front. I'll be coming back in the future for a sweet treat!

If not for Yelp I might have missed out on the Gourmet Ghetto of Middle Eastern treats and coffee in West Berkeley, on University Avenue. The French-Algerian inspired Belmo Cafe and nearby neighbor, Heyma Yemeni Coffee are literally the one two punch of cafe deliciousness. After grabbing a dynamite spice and cardamon infused latte at Heyma, we wandered into Belmo and saw a gorgeous assortment of French pastries, but what really got us drooling was their beautiful section of enormous and exquisite Turkish delight, of which we tried a strawberry pistachio, a hazelnut and a chocolate filled variety, each more delicious than the last. These are special, fresh and homemade. A bevy of French and Algerian pastries are sold here, and trust me the Turkish delight is particularly wonderful.
