Across the street if the other food mecca, the Cheeseboard which serves a daily vegetarian pizza along with its bakery which serves really excellent pastries and strong coffee.

The original Peets is around the corner and a couple of blocks down the hill on Walnut and Vine. If you'd like variety, the food court on Shattuck a bit south of Vine has some excellent options. . Stroll through the nearby Farmers Market, enjoy a picnic in one of the many nearby parks, or venture out to San Francisco and beyond.

The neighborhood is very picturesque with some of the oldest houses in the city and beautiful, wild gardens. There are also many hidden paths all throughout the Berkeley hills for exploring. You can find them listed at the Berkeley Path Wanders Association website.

Accurate description of a wonderful loft. Owner was delightful to work with and quickly came to my rescue with an accidentally left behind travel bag…that she noticed before we did! Be sure to walk up to the Rose Gardens when you go. Restaurants are excellent…and within walking distance, too, Highly recommend.
