Berkeley Bowl

This place is my destination for strange specific dinge. millet in bulk? five different brands of tofu? hundreds of different vitamins and supplements? strange strange alien species of greens? berkeley bowl. her vegan curry lens soup is unbelievable (prepared chilled section!) many what they do and pre-package in their kitchen can be found on their website if they need a certain securing from the content list. love bb!

I discovered this load today, they have amazing options, especially in their choice of vegan cheese. they sell “wildbrine”vegan bee that is (to) much better than whole food market.

This store has the largest selection of produce that I have seen. There must be about a dozen types of avocado, and similar varieties of other fruits and vegetables. There is also a bargain room of marked down produce. A great place if you want fresh food.

Want to choose between fifteen kinds of oranges (when they are in season) or ten kinds of hot peppers? Mangoes, melons, persimmons, waves of local fruit flow through this almost-warehouse sized store. Sure, it's not a vegetarian store, but if you stay in the produce section you'll forget that. Organic and conventional produce are in two separate areas. If you're looking for a good deal, check out the discount produce section and bulk bins. Don't even try the parking lot unless you need to park close. The surrounding streets will be much easier to find a spot (or ride your bike).

I'm always wanting to go back because the wide selection of food there is just beautiful. For packaged products, there are several of veg options (faux cheese, meats, dairy-free ice creams etc but the fresh produce and bulk foods is where it's at. Utterly gorgeous variety. I also like to check out their imperfect/damaged produce section in the back; some are really ugly and quite scary, but I can usually score a good bunch of ripe bananas for 99 cents.
