1. PIQ Berkeley
Berkeley, CA 94704
(510) 540-7700
I'm glad I decided to try this place. I had lunch with a friend here, and I'm sure we'll probably be having more lunches here in the future.
Atmosphere: Spacious. I love the set-up; once you walk in all you see is
FOOD. It's an open invitation to look…More »
2. Beta Lounge
Berkeley, CA 94704
(510) 845-3200
Beta Lounge was one of the first bars/lounges I went to when I turned 21 (even though they'll let you in if you are underaged).
Atmosphere: Small, but nice. If you go early enough you won't have trouble finding a place to sit. Everything looks classy…More »

Berkeley, CA 94704
(510) 848-1766
Categories:
Pool Halls,
Bars
Neighbourhoods: UC Campus Area, Downtown Berkeley
This is the go-to bar for a nice time.
Atmosphere: You're under the sea, yo. It's pretty cool. There are a few seats/booths, but it can get a bit crowded. It gets a bit loud, but duh...you're in a bar.
Drinks: I like the drinks here, and in the number…More »
4. Pasta Bene
Hands down, my favorite Italian restaurant in Berkeley. It's a sin for it to be so close to my apartment...I always want it!
Atmosphere: The place is nice and clean looking. It has a good number of seats and most of the time you order up front. I…More »
5. Cheese Board Pizza
Berkeley, CA 94709
(510) 549-3183
Category:
Pizza
Neighbourhoods: Gourmet Ghetto, North Berkeley
For all you interwebbers, I speak in the words of Y U No guy: Cheeseboard, Y U PIZZA SO GOOD?!
I'm saving one star for what everyone deems is the "Berkeley" experience (sitting on the median, eating pizza, being a rebel). This past week also happened…More »

Category:
American (New)
Neighbourhoods: UC Campus Area, Downtown Berkeley
Came here for a birthday dinner with friends on a Wednesday night, and it was still busy. It's good to make reservations.
Atmosphere: Pretty! Wooden chairs, tables, and a nice open area.
Food: Ordered the barbecued young chicken. The meat was flavorful…More »
7. Cinnaholic
Berkeley, CA 94704
(510) 647-8684
I don't even care too much for cinnamon rolls, but DAMN are these good.
I've tried the oreo madness and the rocky road with a friend. The first few bites are like heaven, but then it tends to get way too sweet (which is something I can't handle, but i…More »
8. Gregoire
Berkeley, CA 94709
(510) 883-1893
Category:
French
Neighbourhoods: Gourmet Ghetto, North Berkeley
Gregoire is one of my "treat" places to eat for lunch when I'm in the area. It's a bit on the pricey side, but everything I've ever had here has been so damn delicious.
Atmosphere: It's SMALL. Seriously, a few (and by few I mean about three) chairs…More »
9. Free Speech Movement Cafe
Berkeley, CA 94701
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: UC Campus Area
This place is always busy. Either that, or I've never been here when it wasn't (and I go a good amount throughout the week).
Food: Their sandwiches are really yummy. I usually get the Turkey or the Roast Beef Panini. It's one of those sandwiches that…More »

Categories:
Music & DVDs,
Cafes
Neighbourhoods: Telegraph Ave, UC Campus Area
Sigh, I'm going to miss this place once I graduate.
Atmosphere: I love the ambiance of the place. Granted, it is a little small and can get crowded during lunch hours, but I love the decor and the fact that there is a CD shop and books next door.

Categories:
Gyms,
Amateur Sports Teams,
Sports Clubs
Neighbourhood: UC Campus Area
$10 a semester is a great deal for such a nice gym.
Sadly this semester time permits me to go only a few times a week, and it's usually never too crowded when I go on Mondays at 10-11am. The cardio equipment is always really popular, but there are…More »
12. Urbann Turbann
Berkeley, CA 94709
(510) 704-0109
Great concept, good food.
I've tried both the rice bowl and the wrap. I prefer the wrap - it's easier to eat, and for some reason I feel like I taste all of the flavors more than when I get the rice bowl.
My sort-of "usual" (granted, I've been there…More »
13. Thai Noodle II - CLOSED
Berkeley, CA 94704
(510) 644-9292
Category:
Thai
Neighbourhoods: Telegraph Ave, UC Campus Area
When my friends and I want Thai food, this always where we go (well, 97% of the time - the other 3% is when we're adventurous enough).
Atmosphere: Has lots of seating in the front of the restaurant but narrows as you go near the kitchen.
Food: Almost…More »
14. Jupiter
Berkeley, CA 94704
(510) 843-8277
Good beer. Good food. Good times.
Atmosphere: Brick walls are pretty, so this restaurant is pretty. They have a nice and spacious dining area outside that you can enter from on Alston Way. THe inside is nice too but it has limited seating.
Food: I've…More »

Took a break between paper writing to get some lunch with my roommate.

Desserts,
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhoods: Telegraph Ave, UC Campus Area
Don't hate me Berkeley, but I like Diddy Riese better.
Don't get me wrong - ice cream sandwiches for $1.50 (CASH ONLY)? Doesn't get any better, or any cheaper (if it does though please let me know). It's a simple concept and a great idea that a lot of…More »

THIS PLACE IS HEAVEN, and it's going to suck up all of my money.

The day after my graduation I thought I'd try this place for the first time with the family for breakfast.

Category:
Latin American
Neighbourhood: Downtown Berkeley
I don't eat Salvadorian food often, so I don't have much to judge this place by. My friend suggested we eat here. Overall, the food was really good! But I'm giving it 3.5 stars until I find another place to try so that I can compare.
Atmosphere: I was…More »

Good vegetarian/vegan place with a great selection and enjoyable food. A friend of mine was visiting the area and so I decided to take her here.

Maybe I just don't like Cajun food, but I actually thought the food here was just okay.

Category:
Bakeries
Neighbourhoods: Gourmet Ghetto, North Berkeley
Actually a 3.5.
I tried it once after hearing all of the hype from friends. Maybe I expected too much.
Atmosphere: It's a small little area inside this plaza. It's pretty cute inside, and the first thing you see when you walk in is the display window…More »

Berkeley, CA 94704
(510) 845-9900
Category:
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhoods: UC Campus Area, Downtown Berkeley
Atmosphere: Order at the front and seat yourself. It's small, but the art is cute and the upstairs is pretty.

Categories:
Delis,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhoods: Telegraph Ave, UC Campus Area
Not one of the best sandwiches around, but still really good for the price.
$3.95 to get a sandwich with your choice of meat, cheese, lettuce, pickles, onions, sprouts, tomato, and mustard/mayo. The sandwiches don't look big, but trust me when I say…More »
25. Bobby G's Pizzeria
Berkeley, CA 94704
(510) 665-8866
Category:
Pizza
Neighbourhood: Downtown Berkeley
Just your average pizza/sandwich joint.
Atmosphere: They have wicker chairs, which I think is pretty cool. It's spacious and clean
Food: I've tried their Margherita and Triple Mushroom signature pizzas, and they were both enjoyable (I happen to love…More »
26. Saigon Eats
Meh, decent food for a good price.
Food: I'd recommend the sandwiches! They're always really tasty, and super cheap. You can't beat paying less than $3 for them. The entree meals, on the other hand, are really inconsistent. The first time I had it,…More »

Neighbourhood: UC Campus Area
I like this place, but the wait is soooooo long.
Atmosphere: It's nice for dinner. The lighting inside is super dim but there are a good number of tables. It use to be a place where you order up front but now it's a full-blown sit down restaurant.

(510) 704-8018
Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhoods: Telegraph Ave, UC Campus Area
Atmosphere: I came in on a Friday around 4o' clock with a few friends and it was completely empty (which was weird). What's also weird is that they don't open on weekends.
Food: My friend had been raving about their clay pot, so I thought I'd give it…More »
29. Cancun Taqueria
Berkeley, CA 94704
(510) 549-0964
Category:
Mexican
Neighbourhoods: UC Campus Area, Downtown Berkeley
I'm on the fence about giving this place four stars, so I'll just give it 3.5
Atmosphere: It's kind of hard to spot. Walking up alston from Shattuck it'll be on your right, and you can see the "Cancun" sign. They also have A-shaped sign boards…More »

Categories:

Neighbourhood: Fourth Street
Maybe I expected too much with all the hype. I thought the food was good, but it's honestly nothing to write home about.
Atmosphere: Came here around 7:30am on a Sunday, and I had to wait about 15 minutes before being seated. The place has REALLY…More »
31. The Coffee Spot
Berkeley, CA 94702
(510) 486-0550
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: UC Campus Area
Good place for quick food or drink.
Food: Their bagels are good and cheap. I recommend the cream cheese with tomatoes and cucumbers (about $2.25ish), but if you don't like a lot of cream cheese, let them know; they pack a ton of it on there and it can…More »

Neighbourhoods: Telegraph Ave, UC Campus Area
I usually go here when I need to study with someone and I DON'T need my computer. Outlets here are very, very limited.
Atmosphere: decent amount of seating on both the bottom and the top floor. When it's busy, it can get cramped and crowded.

I've been here a number of times, but I've never actively craved their food enough. That being said, I'm usually only here when whoever I'm with decides to eat here.

34. Masse's Pastries
Berkeley, CA 94709
(510) 649-1004
I've been on a quest for macarons for a long time since my discovery of them last summer, and I've read the reviews for this place and had to try it.
My friend and I went and decided to get one of every flavor they had that day, which totaled to 8 -…More »
35. Tacubaya
3.5. It's good, but it's not GREAT. Also, it's kind of pricy. I got two tacos and a side of black beans, and it came out to about $11/$12. Boo.
Atmosphere: It's not too big inside, but there are a number of seats. I do enjoy that they put items on the…More »
36. Munchy Munchy Hippos
I've had MMH twice. Overall, the food is pretty good and filling.
Things I've tried:
Croque Madam-Hits the spot when you want something sweet. It doesn't taste too oily either (although I'm sure there's a ton of it lurking around in that sandwich)

Really giving a 3.5
I've been coming to Joshu-Ya's ever since I first started at Cal, but I've frequented less because of the slow service.
Atmosphere: It's spacious outside, but inside it's cramped. And, on busy nights, it's uncomfortable because when…More »

Neighbourhoods: UC Campus Area, Downtown Berkeley
Atmosphere: Small, with a few chairs. In my opinion, the chairs are uncomfortable (this may seem irrelevant, but who knows, all you chair enthusiasts out there).

Giving it a 3.5 in reality.
Saw Jason Mraz here, and I'll be graduating here!
I'm always still amazed at how well the sound system is here. Also, the view from almost anywhere in the amphitheater is decent. It's pretty awesome.

Giving it a 3.5.
Atmosphere: It's a tiny boutique, but it's spacious enough to rummage through everything. They have an upstairs with more formal dresses and shoes. It's kind of awkward to have to yell down to the cashier on the ground floor that you…More »
