Eat: The Cheese Board Collective
Another Berkeley food staple, this Gourmet Ghetto gem is definitely worth a visit. We’re not going to lie: the cheese selection is incredibly overwhelming, but that’s what makes it so appealing — you have so many options, you’ll never tire of them. The friendly staff is super helpful, and so well versed that they will help you make a decision in a snap. Pair your cheese with the savory breads and scones and try one of the pizzas (served up next door). They are beyond tasty. Just be prepared to wait in a justifiably long line.
The Cheese Board Collective, 1504 Shattuck Ave (between Cedar and Vine Streets); 510-549-3183.
