Gelateria Naia is the best gelato I've tasted so far in California. They have a great selection of delicious and handmade gelato and sorbetto. Everything there is nicely presented with samples of whatever the gelato is made with place artfully on top of the gelato (or sorbetto). They have typical fl…

Dining at this restaurant is like momentarily escaping to the countryside of southern France. The restaurant is quaint, wonderfully decorated and cozy and the staff is friendly and attentive. They serve what they call "rustic Provencal" food- simple, mostly sandwiches, stews and pasta.
It's fun t…

Amazing coffee, the best affogatos this side of Europe, yummy paninis and a constant cast of characters make even the dullest study sessions palatable.

I have to agree with Angie on this one. This comment may border on sacrilegious, but I would say that the gelato at Sketch is just as good as, if not better, than any of the gelato I had during my stay in Italy. There are only a few flavors to choose from, but the lack in quantity is more th…

This tiny French takeout joint serves up some of the best food in the bay area. The cozy quarters give this place an unmistakably local charm, and because the kitchen is right next to the entrance, you can salivate as you watch the friendly staff prepare your food. If you elect to stay a…

Whenever I'm in Berkeley, I come here a few times a week. What's really cool about it is the transparency factor: the back room is plainly visible, with 5 apron-clad bakers laboring over every inch of to-be-served pastries and cakes throughout the day. This bakery has an a…

I arrived at Cheeseboard Pizza very hungry after walking around Berkeley. When I got to the door, I was dissappointed to learn that Cheeseboard offers only one set of toppings per day -- in other words, if you don't like what's on the pizza that day, too bad. Still, I thought it smelled good, and I …

This is a great little restaurant tucked back in this small shopping area in Berkeley, CA. This is the place I would come to when I was a an undergrad student at UC Davis and would go to Berkeley with the fraternity brothers. The food is great, the atmosphere is even better.
The menu is varied, …

Breads of India is a great restaurant with three locations in the Bay Area- Berkeley, Oakland and Walnut Creek. The different locations try to present a different India: traditional, modern and British. The menu changes daily but there are always some of the Indian foods you expect on the menu. I re…

One of the best places to get salads in Berkeley. Their chef salads are monstruous in size, and can easily be shared by 3 people for a good value meal. They usually give you sides of pineapple and honey wheat bread with the salad, both of which are extremely tasty. Although they also serve sandwiche…

The best valued sandwiches in Berkeley. Get the "Turkey Delight" on a dutch crunch roll. It's fresh turkey meat and cranberry sauce packed within a sandwich roll. Just find somewhere safe to eat it, because it will drip all over the place as you are eagerly scarf it down. Sandwiches here run from $3…

Chez Panisse is a Berkeley institution, and the birthplace of "California Cuisine", which placed an emphasis on using fresh, local, seasonal ingredients. In today's age of organic food, this seems hardly out of place, but when Chez Panisse was founded in 1971, this was nothing short of a revolution …

This local favorite serves relatively cheap, delicious food in a cozy setting. The pumpkin pancakes are the best pancakes I have ever had. Granted, I'm not a pancake fanatic, but biting into one of these babies is like eating a fluffy cloud made out of pure delight. They are light and buttery, and t…

This is the only Brazilian restaurant I've found in the East Bay that serves typical Bahian cuisine. The location is just a few blocks from all of the action of Downtown Berkeley but in a weird enough spot and so nondescript that it's easy to miss it. I used to work around the corner from this place…
