18 Destination-Worthy Restaurants in Berkeley

"Since 2012, this Berkeley cafe has served some of the city’s best daytime dishes: bountiful avocado toast, deeply comforting savory porridge, tomato toast in the summer, and jammy eggs topped with good olive oil and Marash pepper. Now, the cafe has opened its new space a few doors down from its previous annex window, and the short-lived nighttime wine pop-up Bar Sardine has relaunched, as well. Try the lovely little baguette sandwiches, as well as excellent desserts from pastry chef Nellie Stark, or drop by for a glass of wine and snacks in the evening." - Dianne de Guzman, Luke Tsai
