Go for breakfast on a weekday- on the weekends forget going after 9am or plan on waiting an hour. Even though I sometimes still do that because the food really is THAT good.

A unique Berkeley experience- one kind of (vegetarian) pizza each day, often with live music. Don't forget to cross the street and head for LUSH for the best gelato in the entire Bay Area afterwards!

This is my beloved secret spot- as in I've only ever been here alone. An actual tiny log cabin, go during the week for incredible locally sourced food and relaxed and friendly service. A GEM.

During warm weather, this is THE place to be! Just a few dollars to enjoy the gorgeous scenery and have a swim! Wait until it's hot enough.

I love when places like this are hiding in Oakland! A friend from San Francisco was blown away that this was so close. Another one of my favorite hot weather spots.
