worldcitizen says: 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...

Eric says: 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...

worldcitizen says: 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...

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

Eric says: 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...

joeytuan says: 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...

seanloh says: saw this review at (do not know about cost, and my rating is based on this review): http://cityguides.msn.com/citylife/article.aspx?cp-documentid=6336620&page=3 Ginger Babycake (Gingerbread cake with Limoncello-cream cheese frosting) This Bay-area favorite prides itself on its use of fresh, hi...

Eric says: This is a cheap, relatively nice sit-down restaurant just a few blocks south of campus. The staff is very polite and the food is above average. Try the pan-fried mixed vegetables with oyster sauce for a healthy but tasty dish. Also, they serve fresh fruit smoothies here too, and you can mix and matc...

Eric says: 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...

Eric says: 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...

worldcitizen says: 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...

Eric says: Like most early morning adventures, this journey starts with a trek to Peet's Coffee for a bit of encouragement. This is the first ever Peet's Coffee and the inside of the cafe is pretty classy. Not classy like pretentious snob, but dignified scholar. Unlike most coffee places, there aren't re...

worldcitizen says: 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...

williamsworld says: 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, ...

Eric says: Tropical Paradise is a relatively new Ghanaian restaurant in Berkeley. I've never had Ghanaian food before, but I have to say that my first experience was a good one. The ginger-fried plantains here are delicious. They were prepared fresh, right when we ordered them, so they came to our table in a s...
