50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Berkeley

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

“Great food and great service“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“The lamb chops were phenomenal!“

“Great team, smooth operations, and the good vibes translate into exceptional food with plenty of fresh greens and the most sophisticated, not at all fatty, falafels by the Bay! How do they make so much great food in such a small space? When do they open a full size restaurant? I will be there.“

“Finally tried this new spot on MLK Jr Way. The Thai Tea Brown Sugar Mochi was legit, and somehow the Cheddar Cheese Walnut Pralines actually worked. Owners know what they're doing - creative flavors that don't feel gimmicky. Berkeley needed this.“

“As a regular customer of Babette since their opening I had to respond to GoGo's 1 star review. This review was do obviously written by someone with a grudge, perhaps an employee who just terminated for just cause. Babette is a lovely place. The food is great, vast majority of the staff had been there for years. The owners are kind and care about all aspects of their business and staff. That's been clearly obvious every time I've dined there. Pay no mind to this person who speaks so poorly out of spite. Babette is a great place, worthy of the community's parsonage.“

“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.“

“This is the best Indian food you can get in Berkeley! (Even better than Viks) We got the Vada Pav, Masala Chai and Donne Biryani. Everything tasted great and authentic! Vada pav reminded me of homemade ones in Bombay. Owner was very nice and welcoming. We are definitely coming back for sure!“

“I consider myself a lifetime Cellarmaker fan. My wife and I had our first date back in the first couple months of OG location being open in SOMA and we've been big followers since. The Berkeley location carries on the legacy of a great atmosphere, incredible beers, sublime music with the welcome addition of delicious food and a family friendly vibe. If you're looking for the best breweries in the Bay you'd better put this on your list.

“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.“

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

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

“I got the hojicha and it was hands-down the BEST hojicha I’ve ever tried in the bay!!! The hojicha was so rich and my drink was sweetened perfectly—not too sweet, which didn’t steal the thunder away from the hojicha’s notes and flavor! I do want to disclose that they did take over an hour for my drink to be ready, BUT I went for their soft opening weekend, so that may be why many people were there (there were around 25 orders ahead of mine). They whisk the hojicha and ceremonial matcha right in front of you, which was a blast to see. The ambience was great! I’d definitely go again at a time where there aren’t as many customers there.

Update: my friend went a few weeks after me, and their wait is still just as long (about 40-50 minutes). Definitely place your order, explore downtown Berkeley, then come back for your drink. There aren’t a lot of seating options available in the tea bar.“

“The real thing whatever they serve you. And delicious.“

“Peaceful place, friendly people and Good beer 🍺“

“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.“

“What a great place, especially for families! The staff is friendly, attentive and bilingual should you be more comfortable speaking Spanish! Everyone at our table enjoyed their delicious breakfast of perfectly cooked pancakes, eggs, bacon etc! I know it sounds like a lot but order a biscuit for everyone to try at least a bite!!

Kid-friendliness: They’ll love the bear theme!“

“Great beer selection; try the Structure“

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

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

“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.“

“I saw someome make a TikTok about this place and immediately knew I had to add that to my list. I headed out to Berkeley on a Friday morning to try it out and I bought a friend who isnt a big fan of Thai and or Asian food. I was thankful to experience this style of northern Thai cuisine I believe the order Tanzie referred to it as. The hospitality and service was above average. I enjoyed all of my food and so did my friend. The pork jowl was agreed to be are favorite out of the all the dishes we tried. Very juicy , flavorful and just all around deliscious topped off with that crispy fried garlic. The brown rice over that soft scrambled "lava egg" was to die for paired with the savory tomato based minced pork that I ordered extra spicy of course. The star of the show that me and my friend both agreed on had to be the "prik nam pla" which I would describe as a sweet and spicy vinegar or fish sauce based dipping sauce accompanied by a nice punch of spice from the thai chili peppers. I dont have any complaints whatsoever and I will definitely be back.“

“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!!!“

“open mic Tuesdays and the food and atmosphere!“

“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.“

“Excellent coffee and exceptional house made baked goods! Everyone who works there is super friendly and they love dogs, which is important for our family, especially when we're en route to daycare or the park with the pup and kiddo. My only wish is that they had a space with a nice seating area so I could soak up the good vibes for longer.“

“The food is scrumptious, fast service & glorious sunshine as we basked enjoying the fried chicken sandwiches with spicy slaw Beyond yummy !“

“Picked up dinner twice this week. Delicious.“

“What a wonderful place!! We went this morning for the 1st time & wow!! The food is excellent, the atmosphere was beautiful & service top notch!! Special shout out to Javier…he was a pure pleasure & took such good care of us 👍🏽😊“

“Delicious kabab plates with a lovely showcase of desserts. The food is fresh, reasonably priced, and their lamb is well worth it.

They don't have much seating space (2 2-person tables) and a restroom that's well-maintained.

All the meals are served in to go containers with fast preparation!“

“This cafe is really cute, and the park right outside makes for amazing vibes! The coffee is pretty good, and the food is nice. Service is okay. Their matcha latte tends to have a lot of clumpy matcha in it.
Also, be aware that this place is very popular (especially on the weekends) and it can be hard to find a table to sit at.“

“I love Thayir Sadam. It’s an authentic South Indian comfort food that tastes so amazing, clean and fresh. The service was excellent and the owner was very friendly and helpful
Thank you for bringing this to our neighborhood
I will be back soon“

“The best gelato I’ve found with many unique and delicious flavors using fresh fruits and ingredients on a daily basis. I come in every time I am in Berkeley, because it’s head and shoulders above the gelato in the Sacramento area!“

“The best German food in Berkeley. Anja is the warmest, kindest, and most caring chef in the world! She and her team turns out pastries that are not too sweet, and her dishes are always sourced locally to be the freshest! I can always count on Anja’s to walk out with a smile :)“

“I love this place and their beer! I first had one at Alvarado Street Brew in Monterey, CA. They’ve got great sours and fruit forward IPAs for me and beer that tastes like beer for my BF. I wish they had more seating but that’s not a reason to rate below 5 starts. Maybe they will open a bigger location in Alameda or Oakland ?? DOG FRIENDLY“

“Delicious baked goods. Awesome staff!“

“My cousin showed me this place and I fell in love! They always have k-pop playing and the corn dogs are so mouth watering good!

Vegetarian options: They have dogs that don't have any meat in them

Parking: It's Berkley. The parking here is tough to find“

“Bowls are good for the soul“

“The chirashi don comes with a generous portion of sashimi, and the bento box is also quite substantial. Though the flavors are definitely mediocre. It's great value for the price, with attentive service. Perfect for a quick lunch or dinner.“

“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.“

“i been to this restaurant many times al the people who work there make you feel like home the food always delicious always . they very fast with everything and they clean and they always serving the food more than enough. i love this restaurant i highly recommended them for anybody’s looking to have a great Chinese food“

“Ordered a mocha with a rugelach this morning and got an unexpected rabbit in the foam - I would give you 10 out of 10 for design creativity, and an extra 5🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟for carrying this rugelach!
The 🐻 was from my previous visit 😎

A+ for making my day 😎“

“Best coffee by far in this part of Berkeley“

“Food and service was excellent“

“Please note…this is not a full bakery. It is a baker’s shop where they are kind enough to let us step into their world and get some of the freshest and most amazing assortment of what the best local ingredients can make. Everything is sinfully delicious, both the savory and the sweet, and they have good flourless/gluten free options as well. My favorite is always the chocolate almond croissant, though I had a leek and gruyere croissant this time that had me wanting more! The double chocolate cookie is DELICIOUS!!“
