Location
Enjoy the "Small-Town feel and worldly culture of Berkeley's "Gourmet Ghetto"
Just two blocks from your home is the renown eating establishments of the Gourmet Area, two major grocery stores, the serenity of Alone Park and all the venues of Downtown Berkeley. You are far enough from downtown that you don't have to deal with the noise and traffic, but you are close enough to "visit" anytime. The East Bay Express Describes the Area as: "The area is pleasant, with its central boulevard, Shattuck Avenue, bordered by trees. Many businesses have sidewalk tables, and a casual, leisurely mood prevails. You could wander for hours in the morning, just sampling coffee and pastries here and there."
Some of the long-time, world-class establishments of the Gourmet Ghetto include:
- Chez Panisse - Named Best Restaurant in United States by Gourmet Magazine
- Peet's Coffee - The very first Peet's!
- Cheese Board Collective/Pizza - Whatever cheese you want, they have it. Great pizza too!
- French Hotel Cafe - A hip gathering place for coffee and pastries.
- North Berkeley Wine - Fixture of the Gourmet Ghetto with the best of wines
- Virginia Bakery - Old-Fashioned Bakery of 50 years! They sell cookies by the pound!
- Chester's Bayview Cafe - Have waffles for breakfast, pasta for lunch and catfish for dinner!
