Berkeley

Nicole Gandre: Best espresso, and a great work spot.

Nicole Gandre: Known for their rose latte, if you're feeling adventurous.

Nicole Gandre: Favorite Mexican food, hands down. I daydream of their steak nachos and tostaditas de carnitas.

Nicole Gandre: Burmese -- great food, highly recommend the rainbow salad!

Nicole Gandre: Same as Burma Superstar.

Nicole Gandre: Best Thai food in Berkeley -- the pad khee mao and green curry are my personal go-to dishes, but everything I've tried is good.

Nicole Gandre: Solid Japanese food, great place to order a bunch of appetizers.

Nicole Gandre: Popular Asian-fusion place, good Korean-style ribs appetizer.
