Betsy Neylon I live in northern Ohio and my son and family live in Berkeley. I come to visit at least 2 xs a year. The highlight of my trips is always going to Berkeley Bowl. I bring lots of gifts for the kids when I come partly so I can fill it with stuff I buy at Berkeley Bowl!! They have the best cheese selection and the prepared foods are amazing. Because Berkeley is so diverse, there is a wide variety of prepared foods and ingredients that I don't see even at our specialty stores. But what I love the most is the bulk section. I go crazy there. This last trip I brought home: red envelope tea, ginger chai tea, smoked almonds, roasted salted almonds, golden raisins [only because they are so fresh], Turkish dried apricots, 6 grain hot cereal, steel cut oats, candied ginger [it's cut up really small] and falafe😍l....oh and sesame sticks. It fills about 20% of my suitcase home, but it's all so wonderful

The best place to shop in the East Bay!!! Great selection, organic and fresh meat.
I've never encountered a better selection of fresh produce before. E.g. there are at least ten, maybe fifteen varieties of eggplant and probably twenty or thirty different fresh mushrooms types.

The best place to do your produce shopping in Northern California, it is hard to explain...one must live the experience or must visit. See ya!!! at Berkeley Bowl
I've been shopping here for 12 years and nothing compares. I live in Marin and travel 35 minutes to shop here any time I get a chance. Best produce selection and everything is always top quality!
Been shopping here personally and professionally for 25+ years. Nothing compares for variety and value! Highly recommend! *Parking can be a challenge. Shop off peak hours if possible.
Quality produce, great variety, all the staff are nice but goodness the people who shop here are awful.
This place has everything you can possibly think of, and prices are unbelievably low!
If you need you, they have it! There is a great selection of everything from prepared foods to meat and fish.
It was quite different from when I was last there in the late eighties. It was much smaller back then. It was a lady friend of mine that introduced me to it. I must say it was quite enjoyable.
The best local supermarket by far. Diverse groceries from produce, seafood, to packaged foods.
I love this store. They have the best& hard to find produce. The bakery & deli area is great! Love their sandwiches!
