Oh boy. This might be the greatest place in the Bay Area.
I only had about five minutes to explore the wonderland that is Berkeley Bowl. It was love at first sight. Nearly 1/4 of this giant grocery is devoted to produce, at prices and quality the rival farmers' markets, and a diversity of goods that can't be beat. My jaw was dropped to the ground as I made my way through 10 different types of grapes, scores of heirloom apples, and a rainbow of exotic fruits. The majority of the produce is locally grown, though exceptions are made for out of seasonal items from other locales.
That's all I can say for now. I was so enamored by the produce section, and my time so limited, that I didn't have a chance to do anything else but buy a nutrient packed hippie bar. Fear not, I'll be back soon with a full review.
In the meantime, check out their website. If you're in the Bay Area, go here. Now.
