“I just had yhe best sandwich I've ever had no exaggeration. I had the roast beef, turkey, salami with some horseradish based sauce and it was amazing! Service was friendly and super quick. Had to write a review because I'm so impressed!“

“I came in times were slow. I do not speak English very well. Brandon was my waiter. (Very polite) the manager Ana came out to help and wow. She was amazing. Not only did the food come out on time but it came out right. With love. I never thought would be blown away by an apple bees but here I am. Thank you Ana!!!“

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

“Great organic and delicious wraps burritos and plates thank you 😊“

“Prettiest coffee shop imaginable! The coffee shop itself is a vintage airstream and it’s parked within a really beautiful garden store. So you can sit and have your latte amongst all the beautiful plants.

I got a special treat this morning and chose the seasonal cinnamon mocha latte. It was absolute perfection.

And the people working there are super nice“

“I have been wanting to try this place for a while, and I’m so glad I finally did. The food was very fresh and delicious, and reasonably priced for the quality. The braised lamb sandwich had soft flatbread, crunchy herbs and vegetables, a tangy sauce, and perfectly tender lamb. The service was friendly, warm, and the food came out quickly. Fava is a lovely lunch spot and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a pleasant lunch in North Berkeley.“

“The olive bread was amazing, as well as the croissants and other pastries. The service was off the charts, truly exceptional! Highly recommended.“

“Stumbled upon Uli and Squabisch while meeting a friend for lunch nearby, and I’m so glad I did. This is a true mom-and-pop gem in Berkeley — the pretzels are delicious and genuinely creative, not your average twist of dough. Love that they also run monthly pretzel-making classes and cater events. Worth a visit — you won’t be disappointed!“

“Both hands up for this wonderful coffee place I happened to stumble upon, right outside the skirts of Downtown Berkeley. They're located right on the intersection of MLK and University, right behind the Indian restaurant.

This coffee place is honestly a little bit small, so please proceed with caution at all costs. But it really makes you feel cozy at home. They do have upstairs seating, but rather really limited. It will be full at times, and at times, not at all. It depends on the time that you go.

They have a wide assortment of sweet and savory pastries available as well. I got their ham & cheese scone, as well as their speciality drink, their banana cream iced coffee. I love how balanced their iced coffee is with the banana cream, which surprisingly, is made with ACTUAL banana puree made from actual bananas.

The barista who made my drink was very nice and very chill, and served it rather quick. That's what's up!

If you're looking for a locally-owned coffee shop right here in Berkeley, look no further than Bench Coffee! Trust me, it will be a trip worth it :)“

“We had a delicious lunch! The vegetable and potato momos were amazing so light and fresh that you don't leave feeling weighed down. We also loved the hand-pulled noodles; you can really taste how fresh they are. For the appetizer, we tried the stuffed eggplant wrapped in a garbanzo bean flour crust. It was really interesting because you couldn't even taste the eggplant! Overall, it's a great spot if you're looking for fresh, healthy food that nourishes you. Plus, the owners are extremely friendly!“

“I’ve only had their smoothies and tasted the ice cream . It’s pretty good haven’t been disappointed . Thai tea ice cream is fire 🔥 . They do close early , earlier than their posted hours though sometimes a half hour early so best to arrive over an hour before they close . I haven’t tried their banh mi but they do seem pricey at nearly 18 dollars each!“

“I enjoy this restaurant very much. The food is excellent and fresh. it’s served hot every time. The servers can speed up with taking orders but otherwise, they are o.k. The restaurant is ok. The seating is too close for me but I get it. There’s No parking. It’s excellent.“

“Just picked up my chicken soup this afternoon,my granddaughter wanted to go to the park,I ordered it over the phone and they said 10 minutes but we stayed at the park for. 45 minutes the soup and croissant was still hot not warm but hot my granddaughter loved the bread man lol“

“handmade pizza with flare“

“Arrived around 12:15 PM today to find a line out the door—about 20 people—but my wait was only around 15 minutes. The customer area is small - space for 5-6 people, but the two staff members were quick and efficient at keeping things moving. There was a great selection of freshly baked goods, and I thought the prices were very reasonable for the quality and freshness. A busy bakery with plenty of demand, but definitely worth a visit! There are 7 parking spaces near the entry door and additional spaces behind the building.“

“Delicious food at a very good price. Highly recommend.“

“The baked goods here are delicious. We get all our birthday cakes here…and sometime we just pretend we have birthday needs when we get them! I also love stopping by on a weekend morning for a freshly bake croissant or biscuit. Brought their chocolate cookies to work the other day and my colleagues were all commenting about just how good they are! All gone in minutes.“

“I love this place, I work right around the corner and always look up to getting some lunch there. They recently introduced Indian food bowls to the menu and it was sooo good, I got the butter chicken and it was amazing. Customer service is great they always make me feel welcome and the trust is there, I know I'll never leave disappointed and will enjoy my meals.“

“Great food and we will definitely visit again“

“This is a hidden gem.. also incredibly fresh and so cheap. 3$ for veg rolls. The owner is not that friendly or warm at all and pretty annoying to interact with but I think that the quality of the food is so good that she is completely entitled to act that way. If I was the owner of an old sushi shop on Solano Ave I would most likely act that way too.“

“Food and people are awesome here guys“

“I had an amazing experience here! The people are the sweetest and the food is so tasty. They have a great selection and are very accommodating to your likings. It is also very clean and comfortable to be at. They also offer halal and vegan options which is really sincere and genuine of them. Highly recommend!

Kid-friendliness: They love children here and are so sweet to them!“

“Good attention good sandwich“

“Support small businesses! They are very friendly! The BBQ Pork Banh Mi was delicious with a great value! Next time I will try their recommended BBQ Chicken 😋😋
Saigon is more affordable in comparison to Binge. $8 vs $12!!! It’s outrageous now. You cannot beat that price. Thank you for the food!💛“

“Are you kidding me??? These are the BEST cupcakes I've ever had!!! The key lime pie.... heaven!!!! And the Smore's, oh my goodness, amazing!!!! 5 🌟 for sure!“

“My daughter and I love the Fried Sage Pizza and the Strozzapreti Bolognese and my twin grandsons love the Pepperoni Piza.“

“i remember going here during high school and decided to stop by since i was in the area. i feel like the food has even gotten better (it’s always been delicious). the general chicken is still amazing quality for the price. the staff are very polite as usual. lovely spot for rice bowls.“

“Peaceful, clean, and family-friendly coffee shop with a great atmosphere. I love the large wood tables, which are perfect for working or relaxing. They also use quality ingredients, including organic coffee and homemade blends. A great spot if you prefer quality coffee without all the extra sugar!“

“Super good & justice oriented but closed permanently“

“just went to the modesto location today and got the boom reaper. soooo good 🔥🔥💯“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5 stars) Pizza Twist is a flavor fusion haven! Amazing Indian-inspired pizzas with vegan, vegetarian, and halal options. The taste is a masterpiece, and the service is exceptional. Highly recommended! 🍕🌶️👌“

“Simurg Bakery provides great baklava to the ones missing a professional taste in USA. Go for it!“

“The most beautiful and delicious cakes ever!! I especially love be the chocolate truffle cake.“

“The staff here were super friendly and nice. Had one of their famous cheese puff which had a sweet cheese inside. Also ate a pocket chicken pot pie, which was
warm and savory on the inside while being flaky and crispy on the outside. Loved both items I got! Will be coming back to try some of their other sweet items.

The indoor dining area is small, but there is bench seating outside. Sadly the FatApple’s restaurant next door is closed.“

“I spoke with the owner and staff they are professional and extremely nice, my pizza was fresh and delicious my name is Vickie and I will be going there for now on when I want a good pizza. They are new by the fire station right across street in point Richmond.“

“This was our first time. Food was authentic Northern Italian. My family are from Le Marche’. The pizza & polla Parmagano was loved by our teenagers. And the Gnocchi was cooked to order per my request. Definitely adding this to my top 3 restaurants“

“This San Francisco neighborhood spot makes amazing cakes! I can’t wait for our next cake order for an upcoming party! I’ll post pics afterwards :) They always turn out stunning.“

“love love love! The cupcakes are awesome. They were perfect for my birthday.“

“Freshroll is one of my favorite places to eat in Berkeley. For under $7, you get a HUGE Spring Roll with a bunch of fillings and your choice of meat (or no meat). $1 extra for avocado (worth it) and you can also get an extra side of sauce, but the roll does come with sauce. I cannot recommend the chicken enough. It is the only warm thing about the roll but it is highly seasoned and delicious. These folks get your food out insanely fast and I have been here MANY times and have always received consistent, fresh food.“

“Are you kidding me??? These are the BEST cupcakes I've ever had!!! The key lime pie.... heaven!!!! And the Smore's, oh my goodness, amazing!!!! 5 🌟 for sure!“

“Great food and we will definitely visit again“

“good pizza, and reasonable prices. good customer service“

“Try out the Jalisco special burrito is really good!! Service was good and friendly“

“I love their buttermilk waffle, crisp on the outside, soft in the inside. So good. With an egg and two slices of bacon on the side and it's the perfect diner breakfast. The service the three times I've been here in the last three weeks has been so kind and thoughtful. The atmosphere is casual but warm and lovely. My only complaint is the clanging dishes which interrupt the soundscape; hanging a few flags over where they do the dishes would help to absorb that noise. I always also get some pastries to take home: cheese puffs, brownies, chocolate chip cookies and the pies are all phenomenal. I tried to only eat a bit of the brownie, but it was so good I couldn't stop inhaling it. A Berkeley/ El Cerrito treasure for those who love baked goods“

“My experience at Passione Caffè in their gorgeous two-story, well-decorated café at 91 Shattuck Square was simply marvelous. The staff was friendly, quick, and accommodating and the food, drinks, and desserts were delicious! I highly recommend Passione Caffè to those looking for a quick and yummy lunch (or breakfast/brunch everyday), to snack and study, or for an authentic Italian coffee. Don’t miss out on the great happy hour/aperativo deals between 4-7PM! It almost goes without mentioning, but Passione Caffè is absolutely true to its slogan: “A corner of Italy in Berkeley.” From the food and drink to the atmosphere and the service, this is the only truly Italian café I have found in Berkeley! And that comes from over a year of experience living and traveling in Italy! Besides the beautiful architecture and interior design of Passione Caffè—not to mention its convenient location next to Downtown Berkeley BART—I would like to point out some highlights on the menu. The pastas are all made with homemade, organic noodles and made-to-order sauces. The pasta dishes are so fresh and authentic! The spaghetti with meatballs, their only Americanized dish, is to die for! The pizzas also are also made with home-made dough and gluten-free options are offered. Try one with fresh prosciutto, mozzarella, and arugula! The fresh panini with Italian meats and cheeses round out the lunch menu. It is possible to have a filling lunch for $7-15, which is definitely reasonably priced by Berkeley standards! A serious final highlight was the artisanal gelato, made in-house by the Italian co-owner, Eleanora Cercatore. There are 12 flavors, weekly made with gluten-free options, that are displayed on a beautiful rotating wheel. The gelato is spectacularly tasty—I cannot recommend it highly enough! For your time, money, and fine Italian bites and drinks, I cannot recommend a Berkeley café more highly than Passione Caffè! Please pay them a visit soon—you won’t be disappointed!“

“Las Palmitas is a solid, family-owned Mexican restaurant in Vallejo with deep roots in the community.
I was there for the Solano Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Banda Lonchera—something we do monthly—and it was a great spot for a midweek lunch. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, especially for a Wednesday around noon. Good energy, not rushed, and easy to have conversations with the group.
I’ve been here before for drinks, and they have a full bar with a great selection, which makes it a good option for both lunch and after-work meetups. This time I had the quesadillas and enjoyed them. Portions were solid, food was good, and others in our group also seemed to enjoy their meals.
What really stood out was getting to meet the family behind the restaurant. This is truly a family business—started by the mom over 30 years ago and now run by her two sons. You can feel that history and pride when you’re there.
If you’re looking for a classic Mexican family restaurant with good food, a full bar, and strong community ties, Las Palmitas is worth checking out.“

“We are loyal customers. Cakes for every family celebration including a wedding in 2018. The quality, consistency and delicious selection can’t be beat. Thank you and keep up the great baking“
