Gourmet takeout? Who knew there was such a thing?! I used to laugh at the term, but after visiting Gregoire, I'm a fan of gourmet takeout, especially the fancy pants disposable silverware and takeout boxes.

Best fried chicken sandwich, ever.

How can a Cal Bear dislike Top Dog? It's a Berkeley establishment!
ATMOSPHERE
It's a tiny place, to say the least. Expect to take your dog to go or eat outside on the curb. There's barely enough room to fit those who want to order a hot dog, let alone…More »

I've been dying to try this place months before I actually stepped foot into CREAM.
The locals know the deal: $1.50 for a big, delicious ice cream cookie sandwich. For college students, this is an amazing deal, so it's no surprise that there's always…More »

As a bona fide carnivore, I was surprised that I had lunch at Maoz since it's 100% vegetarian. They totally had me hooked when they gave me a sample of their tasty falafels...
