The roasted veggie sandwich was so delicious that I've been dreaming about it!

Hello, I stopped in today to grab an array of baked deserts for my partners birthday. It was my first time in, and I drove up from Oakland. Everything was incredible and reasonably priced. We especially enjoyed this strawberry lime curd tart bar thing!! The mushroom pizza was also very tasty!

This place is the best! The kale caesar with crispy chicken is amazing - the dressing is unreal - and the pizzas are so good (get the corn one in the summer)! Baked goods are also delish. Such a gem in the neighborhood.

Very happy to have Summer Kitchen cater our baby shower; the sandwiches, salads, and cupcakes were a hit! People raved about the Roast Beef and Fried Chicken sandwiches. Had some good options for the vegetarians in the group too. Service was great and they helped guide us to a perfect menu for the event.

It was fine. Cute interior. People rave about the egg salad sandwich, but it seemed like a regular egg salad sando to me. Everyone around me got served fresh food from the kitchen by a server, but for some reason they took a pre-made sandwich that had been pre-wrapped and sitting around and plopped it on a plate at the register. I will go back and try some other dishes.

$20 burger got me sick. I only took one bite and threw it out. When I got home I threw up 1/10 would not come back.

The most amazing California cuisine. Everything I've had from Summer Kitchen has been super delicious, every little detail of each dish. They epitomize the standard for a farm to table restaurant. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Can we please bring back quality control? Paid $30 for a half chicken and the whole thing reeked of some weird chemical. Could barely take a few bites and threw the rest in the trash. Shame bc this is one of my go to places, and I would drive from Oakland to pick up.

I had an amazing experience at Summer Bake Kitchen in Berkeley! The desserts are absolutely divine—rich, perfectly sweet, and beautifully presented. I tried their chocolate tart, and it was a game-changer! The pizzas are equally impressive, with a crispy thin crust and fresh, high-quality toppings; the margherita was bursting with flavor. Their salads are a highlight too—super fresh ingredients, vibrant, and paired with tasty dressings that make every bite delicious. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. Whether you’re craving something sweet, savory, or healthy, this place has it all. Highly recommend checking it out!

One of the best cupcakes I've tried is the chocolate!!!

This place quickly became one of my go-to favorites since moving to Berkeley two years ago. With its fresh, organic, farm-to-table offerings and a light, crisp atmosphere, it delivers an experience that feels both wholesome and effortless. The space is bright and inviting—perfect for a relaxed, feel-good meal.
The pizza is always a win, and the smash burger is fantastic—I’d only suggest adding a side of coleslaw to make the plate truly complete. But the real standout for me? Their Chinese Chicken Salad. It’s my all-time favorite, especially when made with their crispy chicken—the breading is absolutely delicious. If you get the chance, ask for it the way “Carlos” makes it (assuming he’s not on duty, of course!).
This spot is a gem for anyone looking to enjoy tasty, health-conscious food in a great setting. It’s the perfect place to soak in the rhythm of College Avenue, with its mix of new students and longtime locals. Jason, thank you for keeping this place such a special part of The Elmwood!
