Specialty Coffee by Chocolate Fish Coffee Roasters
At Café Adeline, we are proud to partner with Chocolate Fish Coffee Roasters, one of Northern California's most distinguished specialty roasters.
“Specialty coffee should be approachable, unpretentious, and vibrant. Coffee that naturally tastes sweet, clean, and alive.”
Founded with the spirit of New Zealand’s legendary cafe culture, Chocolate Fish sources beans directly from passionate farm partners in Guatemala, Costa Rica, Colombia, Honduras, and El Salvador. By roasting light-to-medium to preserve natural sweetness and fruit acidity rather than bitterness, their coffees harmonize gracefully with both milk and espresso.
Direct-Trade Partnerships
Personal relationships with origin farmers, ensuring sustainable wages and exclusive access to award-winning micro-lots.
Peak Freshness
Beans roasted right in Sacramento within 12 months of harvest, delivered fresh every week to our espresso bar.

The Historic Webb Block
Café Adeline is honored to call the landmark Webb Block building at 1999 Ashby Avenue our home. Constructed in 1905 at the pivotal junction of Ashby Avenue and Adeline Street, the Webb Block stands as an architectural anchor of the historic Lorin District.
Originally built during South Berkeley's turn-of-the-century streetcar boom, this Mission Revival-style structure was once home to Caldecott’s Pharmacy, operated by Thomas E. Caldecott—who would later become Berkeley's Mayor and the namesake of the Caldecott Tunnel. Over the decades, it has housed community hubs, antique shops, and local artisans.
Today, Café Adeline breathes fresh warmth and energy into these historic walls. With preserved high ceilings, rich green wainscoting, chevron oak floors, and brass fixtures, we celebrate Berkeley’s architectural legacy every morning.
