The North Berkeley Neighborhood

Home of world famous Chez Panisse restaurant, but I think its real claim to fame is the French Hotel, where Angel, one of the wizards in the cafe make an excellent and inexpensive Giant Capuchino. I've never had better coffee, so, I've dubbed it the "Best Capuchino In The World"

The Cheese Board, just up the street, makes great breads and KILLER goat cheese pizza. They're extremely tasty - only Bell's Pizza in Amherst, MA and The Boonton Inn in Boonton, NJ were better. It's very different from New York style (go to Arinell, in downtown Berkeley for the most-like-New-York-pizza). Lococo's, about a block north, is another favorite.

My favorite ... Gioia in Berkeley's Northbrae Neighborhood ... but all are very good!

Saul's Deli has really good pastrami and kishke.. almost (but not quite) like being back in The Bronx. They have a Chanukah Latke-fest ... and even a Klezmer Band! Scroll down to view the video I took of the joyous performances.

Ask Angelo to make you a Giant Decafe Cappuchino, nonfat milk... and put a foam “teddy bear” on it Other than that, Peets wins hands down over Starbucks The bay area’s best deal, ranking up there with attending a West Coast Live performance at San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, is to get a Peet’s “credit’ card. Whenever you add $20 to the card, they give you $1 off (they once gave you the drink of your choice). I usually make my $20 deposit into BOP (Bank of Peets) whenever I have a hankering fo a double decaf mocha, nonfat milk (doesn’t that sound like a contradiction in terms?) Peet's even has coffee & tea tastings!
