Shop: Berkeley Bowl
We’re going to go out on a limb here and say this market is one of the best in the Bay. Farmers Markets have nothing on this place. The produce section is like wandering into a psychedelic coloring book of sorts, that’s how many exotic fruits and veggies it has. Need ten different kinds of radishes? You got it. The cheese and deli section are a food lover’s Disneyland. And don’t get us started on the wine and beer selection. It’s not just any grocery store, people. You must frequent this produce palace if you’re in Berkeley. Not in the mood to shop? Peep the café next door and have the friendly staff whip something savory up for you. Amazing.
Berkeley Bowl West, 920 Heinz Avenue (between 8th and 9th Streets) 510-898-9555.
