Location

Enjoy worldly culture of Berkeley’s Gourmet Ghetto!

Just blocks from your home is the renown eating establishments of the Gourmet Ghetto, 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 2002
• Peet's Coffee – The very first Peet’s in the world!
• Cheese Board Collective/Pizza – Whatever cheese you want, they have it. Awesome cheese-pizza too!
• French Hotel Café – 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 Café – Have waffles for breakfast, pasta for lunch and catfish for dinner!
