“My husband had fish and chips which he liked very much. The fish was crispy and hot. I had a fish sandwich. The fish was hot and crispy. The sandwich came with lettuce, tomatoes and pickle. I ordered before I arrived and the food was ready a few minutes after I arrived. The two gentlemen behind the counter were friendly and professional.“
“Mama Daughter Date to Menchies was all that !!! We both got great servings of Fro YO! I was in a tropical mood so had the coconut with fruit and cheese cake and dulce de leche..The toppings were bomb too! Added coconut flakes and mango to go with my tropical theme :)Was yummy! Store was not super organized tho and cashier was not to friendly! Otherwise it was good!“
“Probably my favorite lunch in the East Bay right now. Fresh hearty healthy delicious colorful. Food is clearly prepared with love and creativity and the people working were super kind. They have juice and espresso, it's in a bright beautiful space with tasteful decor. Totally reasonable prices - especially for the quality. Really what more could you ask for? 5000 stars ;)“
“Quite literally the best Mediterranean food in the Bay Area!! If you're lucky enough to enjoy some Fava, you're quite lucky indeed. The falafel is crispy and all the ingredients are sourced carefully and the resulting quality is phenomenal!Jeremy and his wife are amazing and the kindest business owners I have come across in Berkeley - they really put the love into the food they serve.My go to's are the Falafel Flatbread Sandwich, Escarole Salad With Blood Oranges, and the Mango Lassi to wash it down. The perfect lunch on Saturday 10/10 would recommend to a friend!Thank you FAVA for bringing such an amazing food staple to Berkeley“
“Great Mexican brunch place. I've been here several times, and have had the chilaquiles, blueberry pancakes, chorizo scrambled eggs, breakfast tacos, and breakfast burrito. All were exceptional. Friendly service, low key atmosphere. I will be back again -- and again.Vegetarian options: Veggie hash; pancakes; waffles“
“Algerian baked goods and sweets at their best! Incredibly, this tiny sidewalk cafe makes all their own pastries and sweets on-site. The owner/baker/muffin maker is almost always there, making community and croissant sandwiches. Seating on the sidewalk will, with great good luck, be upgraded soon with a parklet.“
“The food is creative and delicious! Dad and mom work the front of the restaurant and they are absolute gems: attentive, friendly and they make the dining experience special and fun. The food options were tantalizing and reasonably priced. We will definitely be back!The experience would be even better if the interior looked more like earlier photos (less cluttered and more stylish).Vegetarian options: There are some options available.Parking: No dedicated parking, street parking only.“
“We stayed in Vallejo back in September for our Napa trip and I am just now getting around to leaving all of my reviews. We stopped in here for a couple of beers and food after we arrived in Vallejo because we had an hour or so before we could check into our airbnb. It was nice because it ended up being just a couple of minutes from the airbnb! They had a very nice selection of beers to choose from. We ordered our drinks and food and then sat outside on the patio to get some sun. They had a lot of plants growing in planters all around, so it was pretty despite it only being a multi-level deck. The staff were friendly, the food was good, and the beers even better. A lovely neighborhood spot for some drinks and snacks.“
“Let's get straight to business... how was the food? 10/10. I got the Golden Burrito with steak. It was amazing! I let the staff know it was our first time trying it and they went into detail of how to enjoy it best with the different sauces they have available. It's also in a good safe part of town and provides clean indoor seating. Definitely coming here more often to try different items on the menu.“
“Delicious food. Amazing service. And great portions. We got the poke bowls; they were great!! We also got the 3 amigos special roll, green tea, miso soup, and salmon nigiri. All amazing!! Our server was nice, quick, and very attentive. Always making sure our tea was hot and we were well covered. A couple outdoor tables, and a good amount of indoor. Tons of take out action. They have cool purple rice as a signature. And the fish was very tasty! Highly recommend. There is a good sized parking lot next to the restaurant. Just be sure to park with caution; the neighboring Ace hardware brings a lot of turn over of large work trucks that have some challenges with the parking lot. This is a great spot!!Vegetarian options: Tons of veg optionsDietary restrictions: Tons of veg optionsParking: Street parking and a lot both free!Kid-friendliness: Yes!Wheelchair accessibility: A bit tight, but I believe it is Ada compliant“
“Friendly staff and lovely seating interior. Food was delicious with good wok fire. The sizzling seafood plate was flavorful and went well with jasmine rice. The red duck curry was delicious with sticky rice. Coconut pad Thai was very satisfying and great portion. I saw lots of take out orders getting delivered every several minutes at dinner time. Glad to find out about this restaurant as it stays open till 10 pm. Easy parking in its own lot. I will come back to try other dishes.“
“Boichik is a weekly favorite of mine. You can't go wrong with your choice of bagel, although pumpernickel caraway salt is currently my top choice. The coffee's good too, hot or iced. On top of everything, everyone who works there is super, super nice. SPECIAL SHOUT OUT to Lisa! She always makes my day and never fails to brighten up the room :)Last thing to keep in mind for the uninitiated: there's limited seating (especially when it's raining -- there are just 4 tables inside) and the bagels tend to get sold out before 11:30-12 on the weekend.Vegetarian options: They have vegan cream cheese (plain, strawberry, or chive) and several of their bagels are inherently vegan. Vegan creamer is available as well.“
“Cozy, mom&pop style Thai restaurant in downtown Vallejo. Went there for lunch with a couple of friends, its decorated nicely inside, and you can seat yourself if its not busy. Our waiter was friendly and slightly confused by one of my friends commenting on how much he liked the spiderman decoration in the men's restroom; if they had followed the same theme in the women's. He laughed and said no....they thought about Barbie or Hello Kitty...but decided to stay neutral. Getting to our food....I loved what I ordered which was the Thai basil chicken...the sauce was so flavorful, couldve used just a little more steamed rice to mop it up, but tasty none the less. Overall good experience.... Ciao for now“
“Stopped by randomly during a commute from SSF to Vallejo on a week day. A friendly gentleman was running the place. I ordered the traditional acai bowl which was $13 for a small size. It was different from other acai bowls I've had as it had condensed milk and powdered milk. I loved condensed milk and powdered milk as a kid - so my inner child was jumping for joy as I ate the entire thing. It was topped with fresh bananas and strawberries. Delicious. Would come back here to support this small business. Bathroom was clean too.“
“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 themParking: It's Berkley. The parking here is tough to find“
“I came across a reel on Instagram and today when we visited the Hall of Science I had to go to Southside Station. They have some of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever had. The chicken was crispy, big and tasty, the slaw was perfectly tangy and and the sauce hit the spot. Perfectly balanced flavors in a big delicious sandwich. In addition, we tried the garlic noodles and the curly fries whichwere really good. Portions are good. I recommend this hidden gem. I'm definitely going back for the sandwich and will try the other items on the menu.“

“So good. Keep doing this. My sandwich was huge and flavorful.

Brewery • $
“Found out about this brewery while at the SF Beer Week Gala event last Friday, so my wife and I did just that today.Outstanding brewery from the moment you walk in to the moment you leave. The beer selection is vast and delicious (actually had an IPA that I enjoyed, more of a Pilsner guy). The Detroit style pizza was amazing, my wife and I split the half Pepperoni Pizza (which comes in a full too, but for a snack the two slices were perfect size).Merchandise wise is great, good selection of shirts, a hoodie and a tacker.The atmosphere is laid back, music was at a nice volume and overall was just a nice place to go have a beer and chat with your significant other or friends.Shoutout to Andrea who was so nice to both my wife and I who had never been to the brewery before.Amazing brewery if you're in Berkeley, highly recommend.“
“Best taco truck hands down! Ordered tripe, cow tongue, and beef tacos! Amazing flavor! The atmosphere is not so great as the truck is next to a dive bar. I get it, people get drunk and the food craving kicks in. Will be eating here indefinitely unless food quality changes. Highly recommended this taco truck! Street parking!“
“What a lovely cafe to enjoy. Small and quiet. Great food. Enjoyed our breakfast. Avocado toast with salmon was sooo good. The eggs, potatoes and bacon were perfect. Coffee is outstanding. Has great garden seating or inside table seating. Friends have said lunch is great too. We will return.“
“We went here for brunch. Good, unique food! Service was good, staff was very nice, consistent with a chill Berkeley vibe. I tried the southern style breakfast, which was a nice healthier take on southern classics. Good flavor. The baked egg was perfect, and in a cute shape. Loved the greens and the yam, and the black-eyed peas were lovely. The cornbread could've been a bit more moist I thought, but overall enjoyed it!“
“Food: 5/5Service: 5/5Price: 4/5Atmosphere: 5/5 This is still one of my absolute favorite spots in Berkeley. The food is always consistently delicious and the service is great. The ambiance is relaxing and chill. The prices are a bit higher than most restaurants, but the quality of the food is worth it in my opinion.“
“Great vibe and amazing staff! Beautiful space with meticulous attention to detail. We had such a good time and a wonderful tasting experience! Perfect spot for a little day drinking with the bestie. Frankie had us feeling like we were part of the family. ❤️ Will definitely be back!“
“Good atmosphere and good chicken pesto panini. If they had blended coffee drinks with a silent blender, it would be much better. But still worth itParking: Not a lot of parking options. The city will soon remove most nearby parking in the area so they can put up some cement dividers. Soon you will only be able to walk/bike there.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, accessible.“
“Lovely little cafe! Definitely one of my favorites in the bay area currently. Atmosphere and customer service is very welcoming and relaxing. The orange blossom latte was very delicious and unique. The apple turnover was also very tasty and flaky. I wish I had taken photos, but I got too excited and ate/drank everything before I thought about it. I have no complaints!“
“This is the bakery to go to in downtown Benicia! They make everything fresh and it is apparent in the presentation and taste. I went with the Breakfast Sandwich with bacon and it was flaky buttery delicious. This is a nice place to relax with friends, a drink, and some food on a nice day.“
“Our neighborhood finally has a new gem of a restaurant! Everything about this spot is wonderful. The attention to detail in the decor (cozy fireplace, exposed brick, distressed woodwork, leaf-shaped cushions, gold silverware, plants galore) is transportive. The food is ravishingly fresh and thoughtfully prepared. On two different visits, we shared Market Salads, Chia Bowls, Yogurt Bowls, and Lava Eggs. Tanzie, the owner, is delightful, and you can tell she has a hand in every dish. My 8-year-old, who is a very picky eater, loved the yogurt bowl, eggs, and especially the Thai Beignets! Finally, a brunch I can look forward to, a few steps from my house...“
“Hizcafe provides a truly enchanting experience, combining a picturesque setting with a diverse and flavorful menu. Nestled by the bay, the outdoor seating offers breathtaking water views, creating a serene ambiance for patrons to enjoy.The star of the culinary show at Hizcafe is undoubtedly the extensive selection of empanadas. With over ten varieties to choose from, including options like beef, chicken, chorizo, ham with cheese, and even breakfast, the menu caters to a wide range of tastes. The addition of unique offerings like apple and mushroom empanadas adds a delightful twist to the traditional options.The coffee selection at Hizcafe is equally impressive, featuring classic delights such as cappuccino, latte, Americano, and espresso. For those who prefer a colder indulgence, there are iced coffee and ice teas to complement the warm, inviting atmosphere. The latte Macchiato and hot chocolate add an extra layer of indulgence to the beverage options.Beyond empanadas and coffee, Hizcafe goes the extra mile with a selection of tasty sandwiches, providing a well-rounded culinary experience. Whether you're in the mood for a quick bite or a leisurely meal, the combination of delectable food and stunning views makes Hizcafe an ideal destination for a relaxing and enjoyable experience.“
“I enjoy the rib dinner with the potato salad, and I like to order the hush puppies with the honey butter. it is so delicious. I’ve been on the pricier side, but typically two or three servings. The potato salad that comes with it is pretty small so I typically order a side of potato salad to enjoy when I eat the rest of the ribs and hush puppies.“
“Excellent clean , friendly, and laid back establishment . Professional , knowledgeable , with first class customer service !No feeling of awkwardness , almost like a local bar . But without the heavy air and darkness . They’re Fortunes told is first class of ipas . Fresh , clean , refreshing dipa , with minimal aftertaste on pallet . A heavy 10% abv , with light tones of mosaic hops . Definitely a crowd pleaser . Settled on an empty stomach like a bud light , hit like a Lagunitas Waldo’s triple ale ! Economical , neighbor and out of town friendly establishment . Highly recommend . Thank you for making my 2 hour wait for Apple phone repair on a Saturday painless and enjoyable lol! Dillion is a knowledgeable ,intelligent , easy going , good listner , and honest tender of the establishment , A must have of representing the companies quality products .

“We ordered tacos at the taco truck in the parking lot and quickly found shelter from the rain inside Hotsy Totsy. Wow, what a vibe inside. My partner says, "I didn't know places like this still exist." The drinks are strong, reasonably priced, and the vibes are immaculate. I would 10/10 return.“
“Hal's Office Coffee is an absolute gem nestled in Albany, California. From the moment you step in, you're enveloped in the warm, inviting vibes that make it the perfect spot to unwind or catch up on work. The cappuccino here is a true work of art, crafted with precision and care, boasting a rich, velvety texture and a bold espresso kick that's simply divine. But what truly sets this place apart is the exceptional service provided by the friendly and knowledgeable baristas who always go above and beyond to ensure a memorable experience. Whether you're a coffee aficionado or just looking for a cozy spot to relax, this is your place to come visit!“
“Great pizza and fun drinks. Seating is what you would expect for a brewery but it's a nice environment and dog friendly! Appreciated the non alcoholic drink options and all the variety of pizzas! The pizza came out pretty quick, it's counter service but we enjoyed speaking with the lady who took our order. Would come again for the vibes and pizza! Maybe even on a nice day to sit outside!“
“Saturday review, so beignets available! The best beignets I've had since I moved to California, but still not quite as good as New Orleans.The Workshop is basically a takeout window, but there are a couple of outside tables, so hopefully you can sit and have your coffee and beignets popping hot.“
“The Circe is one of the best pizzas I've had anywhere in the world.The only complaint I have about Jupiter is that it can get rather crowded sometimes and I prefer less noisy locations, but it's worth it for the quality of the food here.“
“It’s a brewery and eatery with a nice selection of beers (brewed onsite). The staff was friendly and efficient…perhaps a bit detached. Their online ordering system makes building custom flights very easy. Indoor and outdoor seating. It was a warm day, and it was quite warm inside. A few industrial fans would have been nice. We had lunch there. They had a variety of food options (and were able to satisfy the vegetarians in the group). Overall, the food was ok…the beer was better.“
“Came here after searching for a brunch spot after some shopping with my mom. I can't believe I had never been here. The service was wonderful and there are a lot of seating options. It was a cold day but we stayed warm under the heaters. The food came out quickly and everything was delicious! We can't wait to come back for lunch!“
“This cafe is a great place to study because of its wonderful atmosphere. Drinks are also pretty good, as are pastries.However, what truly makes Cafe 1951 stand out is its incredible employees! They are extremely kind and friendly, making this a great cafe experience. Service is also quick.“
“My family stumbled upon this little cupcake shop in Berkeley while on a day trip. There is a good assortment of decadent cupcakes to be had. We tried two (cookies and cream and the red velvet )and they were magnificent! I highly recommend! The shop is small with no sit down options so you must take your treats to go.“
“We ran across this place looking for dinner late the other night. It was closing in 5 minutes so wasn't a good choice then but we noticed the pizza birria on the menu and just had to try it. So when we were in the area again but earlier we decided to give it a shot and boy were we glad. The pizza birria was like a multilayered quesadilla filled with birria and cheese with a side of soup. Filled with onions and topped with cucumber and radishes + add yourself lime and salsa. It was fantastic and we polished off the whole thing with two people. Will be back to try other things. It's inside the Food Barn.“

“We went to the Beer pairing night Thursday and as always, service was fabulous, food was exquisite and the beer paired perfectly with each course. I normally don't drink beer but the way it was paired worked so well. Such a lovely evening.“
“Black star BBQ sure does have Point Richmond SPOILED !!! I went in hearing that the food was good but I’ll tell you what them Cowboy beans with a slice of Cornbread so delicious so perfect I thought I was back in Texas, then the spicy sausage with mac & cheese and potato salad did not disappoint!!! All in all I was very good food if you want a place with a great vibe and a chef that great you and serves you with a smile this is the place! Highly recommended!!!“
“Best Mexican food near Berkeley! I went there with two of my girlfriends, and we sat at the patio, which had a pretty good vibe. The lady was super nice, and the food was VERY GOOD! All of us loved the food so much! The cocktail as pretty good as well.“
“Asaka is a delightful addition to the North Berkeley restaurant scene! The food is delicious, the service impeccable, and the owner generously donated a few platters of sushi ? to the Japanese American Experience event we held last month at St. Mary Magdalen Church. Come check it out!Vegetarian options: Honestly, I don't know if there are main dishes for vegetarians, but their edamame was delicious!Kid-friendliness: I think children would enjoy the food here.“
“Wow now I know why I see so many people sitting outside this place every time I drive by. The yogurt is absolutely amazing. We had tropical yogurt it was passionfruit and guava, and my daughter absolutely loved being able to put all the toppings on her frozen yogurt. It was such a great treat, and it made for a great place to take my daughter on our special date.“
“One of the best breweries in the bay. I was holding off on giving a review as I stopped going here for a while because of the lack of customer service. I came back a year later and I’m glad to say it’s improved.Beers are anything from IPA’s to traditional German and at times English. For reference I hate IPA’s so I am reviewing the great non IPA beers. They usually will serve some beer that can only be sold on draft exclusively at the brewery where most of the beers can be purchased at liquor stores in cans. But as every beer drinker knows it’s better in draft.The inside is great and spacey with lots of large tables. Plenty of games and kid friendly both in and outside. The outside is especially great as there is a long narrow area with a fire pit, tables, and no cars can drive down it besides the food truck. I usually have my kid playing with a ball or scooter down this area and feel completely safe about it.Overall amazing beer, great ambiance, and very family friendly. Btw I am very picky in beer so this a god review for me and I have been to most of the breweries in the bay.“
“The food is usually excellent, but this particular day, the fried were undercooked. I would have taken them back, but we went in the drive-thru, and we were from out of town. So we were unable to eat them.Next time I'll say crispy please!“
