"Conventional grocers like Berkeley Bowl also carry many mango varieties, albeit not Indian mangoes, providing wider but different options." - Nandita Godbole
"Teaming up with Berkeley Bowl West and Clover Sonoma for a cafe pop-up featuring flavors like horchata and Mexican chocolate, as well as ice cream nachos with house-made churro-style chips, sauce, and topping." - Dianne de Guzman
"Liam Bonner, Berkeley Bowl’s director of food services, said his first concern on hearing about the burglary was the safety of the Rize Up team and the integrity of the product, not whether his store would be supplied; he immediately pulled any potentially breached loaves off the shelves. Berkeley Bowl typically gets about 50 loaves a day for retail and also relies on Rize Up bread for in-house items — grilled cheese sandwiches and about 30 housemade meatball sandwiches daily made on Rize Up’s East Coast hoagie rolls — so a missed delivery affects both retail sales and the store’s prepared-food production." - Dianne de Guzman
"The lychee “garden stone” mousse with violet-and-gold-leaf glace and an almond dentelle base was delicate and not cloying, with the soft lychee mousse playing against a pleasantly breaking dentelle for a perfect post-grocery treat." - Lauren Saria
"I find Berkeley Bowl stands out as a local purveyor offering an amazing variety of produce that contributes to the city’s rich culinary scene." - Dianne de Guzman
