As you all might know, I recently started college at UC Berkeley and it has been so so exciting!! I love my roommates and I’ve met so many incredible people so far!! However, the best part is finding different spots to eat throughout the city with my friends! Here are some of my favorites so far!
Yogurt Park!
This is one of my favorite places to go after dinner or as a late night treat after a long day of studying with my friends. There is always a huge line but it is so worth it! I love the different flavors of frozen yogurt that they have and they also switch up the flavors very often which is even more exciting! My personal favorite was the Ghirardelli chocolate one and I always add different toppings like sprinkles and cheesecake bites!!
La Note!
This is hands down my favorite brunch place ever. I’ve known of this place for a while since I actually did a summer camp at Berkeley when I was a sophomore in high school and my friends and I all came here for brunch! Now I try to bring along everyone I know to have brunch with me here because it is just sooo good!! My favorite were the pancakes (they were heavenly!!!)
Skates on the Bay!
I came here for the first time to celebrate my mom’s birthday with my family and I absolutely loved it. It’s at the Berkeley Marina with a beautiful view of the Bay and the food was incredible! I loved the sushi and we also got a bunch of other dishes like crab and artichoke dip, kung pao calamari, and more!! It’s a great place to celebrate with loved ones!
Angeline’s Louisiana Kitchen!
I love this place so much!!! It’s located not too far away in downtown and the food is just amazing!! I always get the shrimp Po’Boy and the best part is that the portions are HUGE so I get to take back extras to my dorm and eat them the next day!! However, my most favorite dish here is the dessert, specifically the banana foster bread pudding— it is absolutely amazing and I can literally finish the whole thing myself I love it so much!!!
Plentea!!
My college experience especially at UC Berkeley would not be complete without BOBA!!! There are sooo many boba spots near me and it is so hard to control myself and not buy boba every day!! My favorite spot has to be Plentea and I always get the Matcha Latte with boba and cheese cream! The cheese cream is a must! I love how it tastes and it balances the sweetness perfectly! I come here almost every other week after class with my roommates!!
(I love boba so much that I never got a picture with it before drinking it- I always finish it in 5 minutes 🤭)
I can’t wait to find more food spots and try out even more amazing food in the future! I’m super excited for the next 4 years here 🙂
