Foodies love this place! Located in the gourmet ghetto it offers the best thin crust pizza around and this coop has amazing fresh baked breads/muffins/scones and offers an incredible offering of cheeses. A popular hang out for locals. Even though the line may be down the street, it moves quickly due the fact it only offers one type of pizza per day. They also offer live music at certain times.

Bette's is an icon in Berkeley as it was one of the very first businesses down on 4th street. Go early in the morning (open from 6:30-2:30) or expect a long wait but it's worth the wait. Be aware that it is a small diner and it has some interesting options. A bit on the pricey side.

Parks & Nature
One of our favorite cheap dates is to grab some food to go and drive up to the parking lot behind GG Fields. There is a picnic table behind a brick wall on the beach side of the parking lot. Enjoy a semi private sunset picnic dinner with the Golden Gate Bridge directly in front of you.
