Hopkins Cafe took over the former Espresso Roma space at 1549 Hopkins St. in North Berkeley on June 2, serving an all-day American menu with food items ranging from $6.95 to $16.00.
Hopkins Cafe opened June 2 at 1549 Hopkins St. in North Berkeley, taking over the space previously occupied by Espresso Roma on the neighborhood's main commercial strip.
The all-day cafe runs 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, with a menu spanning espresso drinks, fresh juices, omelettes, bagels, salads, sandwiches, burgers, and milkshakes. Food items on their online menu include a Veggie Breakfast Burrito for $6.95, a Caesar Salad for $12.75, and a Salmon Filet Burger for $16.00, with bagels starting at $3. No named owner or legal operating entity appears on the cafe's website or in any available public record; the phone number listed on the site was previously associated with Espresso Roma at the same address, a possible signal of continuity in the underlying operation that remains unconfirmed by public records. No liquor license appears in state ABC records for the address, consistent with a daytime-only, food-forward operation. Seat count was not available from publicly accessible Berkeley permit records.
Berkeleyside reported the opening as part of a June wave of new restaurants in Berkeley, alongside a new milk tea shop, a sushi counter, a Turkish dining room, and a Thai spot.
