Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near North Berkeley, Berkeley

Colin D. • February 8, 2020Creative veggie slices. Excellent green sauce. Line can get crazy but usually moves quickly.

Kendal C. • August 14, 2018One of my favorite places in the east bay. It's a little funny to pay to play boardgames with your friends, but their selection is unbeatable and the staff is very helpful.

Ayaka N. • December 19, 2018Their fior di latte gelato is soooo good. 🤤🥛 If you like milk flavored things, you have to get it!

T Z. • March 3, 2017guac greens but substituted for kale & miso sesame ginger & added parmesan crisps 😍 so good

Carrie S. • October 2, 2012house made strawberry soda is fantastic!

Daniel G. • January 9, 2018Delicious, with lots of care for ingredients. The chicken and the lamb were excellent. Boogie, but still lowbrow in a Berkeley framework for what counts as lowbrow (where a sandwich is $13).

Doug Z. • December 2, 2012Totally worth the trip to Berkeley. One of the most perfect dinning experiences in the country. Although not listed on the menu they offer wine pairings, very solid.

Adena D. • September 9, 2013The $14.95 chicken entree was the cheapest on the menu but is incredible! I wanted to scrape all of the broth off the pan it was that good! And put together your own italian wine flights.

Amy H. • November 27, 2013One of the best restaurants in the area. Scallops, wild boar sausage, lasagna, or fig and prosciutto app, everything is well prepared and delicious. Service is quick; good wine list.

Brian S. • April 11, 2022Fantastic slices and whole pies. NY style with quality Cal/Ital toppings. The spinach with garlic as well as the pep slices are just outstanding. Great chopped salad too. Best slice in the East Bay??

Devora Z. • June 12, 2011Creme fraiche with pepper chocolate chunks. And definitely get a cone... Yum.

Antoniya G. • March 31, 2012Ultimate Chocolate & Red Velvet- moist & yummy!

J T. • October 24, 2016Very cozy atmosphere for dinner, and a good selection of wines. Vegetarian options are limited though. Try the fried eggplant appetizer, and the ravioli.

Alice O. • April 19, 2013Very high quality macarons. Their cakes are also very good. When you get it to go, they wrap cakes in a box with ribbons.

Shri L. • December 28, 2016Great thaali. Momos hit or miss, esp the goat (lamb?) version. Great concept w karma kitchen though every month.

Petra Z. • June 4, 2019Been coming here for over 10 years and have seen the place change, but the food and the price is still the best in the bay area by far. Worth the drive!

Michael Q. • April 10, 2010Know for their chicken, but try the superlative pork. These are the pork chops you remember from when you where a child...before they bred all the taste out of 'the other white meat'. Fantastic!

Munch On Me • October 17, 2011Thai Red Lentil with Coconut is one of Soop's most consistently popular choices on the menu. Also try the innovative creation - Soop's Green Gazpacho!
