“Pretty good food. I think we will go back“

“Great food and great service“

“Great atmosphere and delicious food! Outdoor dining, too!“

“Excelente personas muy trabajadoras ambiente familiar y bastantitas menús saludables lo recomiendo al 100%“

“Came here as an act of kindness for a school assignment because my group wanted to support a small business. Let me tell you, the staff was so nice ! The ice cream was SO GOOD (I got strawberry matcha with a waffle cone) and flavorful. Their ice cream flavors are so different that gives them a unique advantage compared to other shops. I will be coming back, it’s definitely worth the stop.“

“Hidden gem for new parents. This place is awesome for lunch. They have a few dishes eat day and they change it up frequently. I’ve never gone and not wanted what I’ve seen - and I’m picky.

Great place to meet up on maternity leave.“

“The lamb chops were phenomenal!“

“Cute little restaurant. We ordered cucumber salad, bbq chicken set and bbq char siu set. Everything tastes so good. Very very high food quality. A lot of flavors. The spicy and numbing cucumber salad is the BEST I have had in the US. Not exaggerating.

It’s counter service and they have discounts for cash. Staff is very friendly. Great neighborhood restaurant for everyday eats. Would come back again when we are in Berkeley next time.“

“I had heard great things about Fava and their ex Chez Panisse chefs. I got to try it for the first time. It was even better than I thought it would be. I got the lamb sandwich (with cabbage, yogurt sauce, and fresh herbs like Persian sabzi, in a lavash like wrap that they make themselves.) I also got some lentil and kale soup with yogurt. So yummy. It took me back home to Iran. So good!“

“Genuinely the best breakfast/brunch experience ever. The food was INCREDIBLE the cake tasted so delicious and I highly highly recommend. The service was so great and everyone needs to try this place. There’s also a gorgeous rose garden in the back“

“The food, drinks, staff and atmosphere was excellent. This is my nephews favorite spot. Thanks Kelly for our family outing today.“

“My sister and I just had a couple of Cali Alley burgers delivery and these things are good! Next time I'm in Berkeley, I will definately order again.“

“Looking to beat the heat so we headed to Berkeley for lunch. Got the Pastrami Ruskie with Latke. Sooooo good. Huge portions. Friendly service. They were out of Prosecco so they couldn’t make me their Old Man & The Deli. Got a margarita and it was both tasty & packed a punch.“

“This is some of the best matcha I've had in a while! I recommend the bar seating to watch the matcha being made fresh in front of you. There are a small number of tables inside the cafe but on a nice day there's seating available outside.“

“Friendly staff🥰, best bagel in the states🥯“

“Shoutout to Mollie and the team at Cellarmaker Berkeley; we recently held our wedding reception and it was lovely! Cool ambience, great beers, plentiful delicious food. Mollie was flexible and easy to work with - food things, accessibility things, slide shows, music, bringing cake and decorations. It was made easy for us and everyone had a great time. Thank you!“

“My first visit. Not familiar with south Indian food so I asked for a recommendation. Braised chicken in a spicy sauce with spicy biryani style basmati rice and a mango shake. Ok, but next time I will ask for something less spicy. Friendly helpful staff. Street parking.“

“Great beer selection; try the Structure“

“Solid burgers for really affordable prices with a mildly unnerving interior. I got a cheeseburger and fries for $7.70, the most economical option near campus. The cheeseburger had two thin patties and grilled onions, which were a nice touch. The fries tasted great, but I got a lot of bits less than an inch long. Food was out in 3 minutes - amazing.“

“Drove up from San Jose to meet with out of state family and this was recommended. Beautiful atmosphere, fantastic service, and decent pricing. Many great, delicious choices and all with good size portions.
You can eat outdoors or inside comfortably.
Other restaurant owners should send a couple of spies over to observe and understand why a great and friendly restaurant such as Zut! Is always busy with happy customers.
Parking can be an issue on weekends due to that Berkeley area being so popular, but
go for it.“

“I tried the Hojicha Tiramisu, it's like a hojicha latte but comes with tiramisu cream and a biscoff cookie. You can also switch to oat milk with no additional charge for those who are lactose intolerant. The drink is super creamy and delicious, but you can only choose no sweet or sweet. The sweetened one is more like a dessert drink.

Service was relatively quick despite a line, and the cafe has some indoor benches and some outdoor seating.“

“Friendly staff🥰, best bagel in the states🥯“

“so fun With our friends. I hope to see you guys all soon.“

“The food was amazing and you can’t beat the views! The staff was friendly and our waitress was amazing!“

“Upbeat generous dude with tasty wholesome food.“

“Clean efficient great for gathering (outdoors) or to grab and go. The food is fresh with dishes like dosa, made to order. Indian food is part of my heritage, so the grocery store next door is a bonus.“

“One of my good friends recommended this place.. and WOW!!! hands down the BEST brunch i have ever had! The service, amazing! The food. So fresh and so much flavour.. AMAZING! Had me lost for words. If I could give 6 stars.. this would be it! ❤️“

“Best of the best. Tons of choices, exquisite French patisseries, true North African specialties… there is so much to choose from. High quality and scrumptious! We will be back!!!“

“Delicious ! Good service nice atmosphere. Honestly the 4 stars is pretty unfair because the food was great , but it was not spicy at all and they didn’t ask about spice levels when they took our order. Great specials I was really blown away you deserve 5 stars but it was so good I just wanted it to be a little better 🌶️ next time I’ll ask about that when I order.“

“We ordered their signature dish, the ThayirSadam, along with curry puffs, masala bites, and filtered coffee.

Everything tasted fresh and was excellent

The coffee was foaming up top and rich.

Great place but really wish they served dosas

I would come here every week if they had dosas“

“I picked up a special order 3 speed bowinkle gangly wrench with all the factory attachments at the tool shop, and asked the guy there if the food next door, at Sol Taqueria was good.
Any good, he yells..It's about the best in Crazy Town, just ask anyone!
Well, since I was parked right in front of the joint, and had a great recommendation, I blasted in and had the most amazing pork tacos ever, but it was the refried beans that were out of bounds! They were extremely flavorful, creamy, and as smooth as smooth can get. Sol Taqueria is a 5 star experience! ☆☆☆☆☆“

“Yesterday I had the pleasure of walking into this family owned establishment, The environment was clean, and the people were very kind. The menu was exceptional with great prices. I got the chicken Marcella, the naan, and the salmon which was the daily special. The chicken Masala was perfectly spiced. I got the mild because I can't eat spicy food. I dipped the naan in it and it tasted perfect. The naan was big and fresh and its own separate bag, so I was able to take it home and munch on it later now the salmon was delicious. It was super crispy and juicy on the inside, and the seasoning was complementary to the fish. it was wonderful to be able to talk to the Chef and get to know the people that cooked my food. The chef that's been working there. He's on the establishment for a while and he's been cooking for over 40 years. He also told me that he is from New York, which definitely shows in his food because this Indian Pakistani restaurant is definitely authentic. I will drive an hour and a half to come back here again. Definitely would recommend them for Catering or a nice dinner date.“

“I’ve started getting tea from this place every single day. Their tea is so good by itself that my favorite drink from them is the plain green tea with honey—no need for sugar or other flavors to make the drink worth $7. Moreover the inside is always clean and well-maintained, and the workers are amazing! I’m a regular since a few months ago and the employees have always been kind and patient, even when I accidentally forget to pack up before closing time. Also, they have free samples AND free iced, filtered water, which automatically makes them the best boba place on the block lol.“

“It’s a small establish but the food was fantastic. I had chicken kebabs, rice and hummus. Berkeley does have a good amount of wonderful places to eat and this one was really great. I’m glad I came here to eat and cannot wait to go again.“

“Such a terrific little bar! Top notch, small batch beers from talented local brewers. Something for everyone: IPAs, pales, pilsners, saisons, sours, and (often) my favorite Belgian beer styles. Casual, friendly vibe. A great place to go with friends, on date night, or solo (laptops fine). Can bring in food, games, or your dogs. Hoi Polloi is a real gem.“

“open mic Tuesdays and the food and atmosphere!“

“The Line is the perfect example of good (great) things coming in small packages. Coffee is absolutely delicious. The pastries are made fresh daily, are things I haven’t seen anywhere else (multiple sausage in puff pastry options, multiple quiche options, and interesting sweet options), and everything I’ve tried has been awesome. (I can’t stop thinking about that chocolate muffin or the polish sausage, I must have them again)“

“I was there yesterday and had the Killer BLAT I didn't know if I would like it but turns out I loved it and I will return it was so good. It's a great place that you have to try.“

“Go to Tanzie if you’re looking for a different experience! The food and drinks are creative and definitely highlights the flavor of the food.

The wait time is a variable, but it’s definitely worth the wait time😁. Unless you get there early expect 30 minute plus wait time.“

“Best coffee by far in this part of Berkeley“

“Great selection of sweet and of savory pastries. I love the cheddar scones. And two quiches daily, one vegetarian and one not. The chocolate cream pie is superb. Good coffee. Really nice folks.“

“Ok so I have pretty much given up eating sushi cause the quality even at highly rated places seems to be a bit meh now a days. Stumbled on Butterfish last night and I was literally transported back to Japan!
I wish I could give them 10 stars. The food is just exquisite. Just come and try it yourself cause I really won't do justice to it with mere words.
And the best part is you will receive the most hospitalable service which again transports you back to Japan. I wish other restaurants that are allegedly fancy would learn from this service team.
We enjoyed the food so much we over ate and it was totally worth the constitutional we needed to take after the meal😅
The fish is fresh, presented in innovative ways, they don't skimp on quantity, service completely above and beyond and lovely atmosphere.
I give this place 10 happy bellies 😋😍“

“It's hard to get really good chai in the SF area, so Elaichi was a great discovery. Their chai is great, whether dairy, oatmilk, hot or cold, their cardomon buns are a treat, and the atmosphere is calm and respectful. Every time I come to Berkely I stop in.“

“Not only do they have great wines but they also have great service. Jeff and his family who own and run the place are super sweet. They were really nice and accommodating to our family when we came by. We have been enjoying their wines for a while so it was very nice to enjoy the winery in person.“

“Picked up dinner twice this week. Delicious.“

“Pollos is a great place for a good breakfast/brunch. There's never a long line because it's not a fancy brunch place. You get to sit down immediately instead of waiting an hour
They do make great omelettes and scrambled eggs. Prices are good too.“

“The best food I have had in a long time! Great taste and excellent customer service. A must try !“

“Food and service was excellent“

“Bowls are good for the soul“

“Great music venue, small feel with top notch sound and production, connected to a great ale house with good food, full bar and super professional staff.“
