    Side: Brown Rice & Quinoa
    Tim Y.

    Picked up take out from Humbowl in Berkeley on a Saturday afternoon. Located on busy College Ave, parking and traffic may be tough but you should be able to find spaces on neighboring side streets. The Thai curry bowl was delicious with a generous amount of roasted veggies and rice. The shrimp and tofu bowls were great too after mixing in the included sauce. The restaurant was clean with about 6-7 tables. We thoroughly enjoyed the meal - the food was prepared with fresh ingredients and tasted healthy. Our to-go boxes were secured well and organized in the take out bag. I'm glad I checked and asked for utensils since we were eating this on the go. Although the food was excellent, the employee's service felt quite distant and could have been more engaging.

    Went for a Yelp event! The place was so cute and tidy. I got the seasonabowl (fall) with shrimp. I also purchased a drink- the strawberry passion. The bowl was good, especially with the mustard dressing with it, it gave it a little kick. I wish I would've added chili flakes to add a little spice to it. The staff were kind and knowledgeable about the menu.

    Healthy, fresh, fast, and flavorful; what's not to love? Oh, and given the quality and location, reasonably priced! This is what fast food only wishes it could be, complete with vegan options and seasonal specialties. You get your food in a flash, and you can even see it being cooked from the open kitchen, so you can get in your way without any wait, it enjoy the spare but cool dining area. Free cucumber water seals the deal for me. If I was nearby, I'd come back on the daily!

    Yum! My kids LOVE this place, which, as a mom of two grade school boys, means the world. I love that they get a healthy meal that they devour and I get to know that they got all the nutrients they needed, all super quick and reasonably priced. I am a huge fan of spicy food and enjoyed the homemade salsa (I even grabbed a bottle of my own on the way out). Super friendly staff and clean happy place. I only wish I lived closer so we could come weekly.

    Still a winner. Fresh, healthy and fast. While not cheap - think about $15-$18 for a dish (with tax and tip), you leave feeling satiated, but not weighed down. I always opt for the dish with the most vegetables since they do them so well. Make sure to include some hot sauce to spice up the dish, as it leans a bit bland (I'd imagine because they keep additives to a minimum).

    Great healthy to-go option that is also tasty! Counter service restaurant with plenty of seating inside. I got mine to go, and it carried well and they use compostable packaging. You can also order online for added convenience. The food is a healthy portion, cooked wonderfully, and the cilantro ginger sauce is absolutely delicious. They should sell the sauce by itself! The service was friendly, helpful, and efficient. I appreciate that they include neurodiversity in their support of diversity.

    Delivery directly from their app. Love that you can customize your order and everything was neatly packaged!

    Fresh, healthy, and delicious! Love this place! It's our go-to for a guilt free tasty meal. Everything is dairy free! Their sauces are all delicious; vibrant and savory. Sustainable packaging. The owner Eric is so nice! What's not to love? Tip: Order through their website/app for menu pricing, plus loyalty points!

    Dyanna Q.

    We were looking for a quick, healthy place to eat, and Humbowl hit the spot. The bowls were large and packed with healthy veggies. The proteins were fresh, and the sauces were really what took it to the next level. The service was friendly, but the location itself isn't that comfortable. I would order to-go.

    Cali Alley is one of my go-to spots... I'm constantly trying to convince people to meet me there…read morefor lunch, or telling them to just DoorDash it because it's that good. It's also one of those places that makes you want to stay. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and generous. Every time I come here, I tell myself I'll pace myself... and every time I fail because it's just that good. The burgers are loaded and perfectly balanced, the fries are always crisp (never soggy, which is rare), and everything tastes high-quality and made to order. You have to try the chicken and waffles. The waffle batter tastes homemade and the butter takes it to another level... it's one of those dishes you keep thinking about after. I'll even DoorDash it all the way to Jingletown. The patio setup is really well done... there's a mix of larger tables for groups and higher bar-style seating for smaller hangs. The wooden furniture and cushioned benches make it comfortable, and they've got heaters for colder days and umbrellas when it's sunny, so you can usually pick your ideal spot. You order at the window and then just hang out while you wait... it's a relaxed flow and the food comes out pretty quickly. The staff are always kind and welcoming, and the whole place has a relaxed, homey vibe with really good music. Highly recommend... just come hungry.

    Cali Alley is one of those places I have looked at thousands of times when trying to figure out…read morewhat to order on Door Dash or Uber Eats. The food always looked really good, but for whatever reason I always ended up ordering from somewhere else. Well, I finally did it. I finally ordered from Cali Alley, and all I have to say is, why did I wait so darn long? Door Dash was having a 2-for-1 deal on the Cali Alley Burger, so I ordered one of those (and got another for free) , as well as on the small mac and cheese, so I ended up with two of those as well. I got fries as he side for the burgers and saved the second burger and mac and cheese for the next day. I also bought a small side of veggie fried rice for lunch later in the week. OK, let's start with the fries ... wow. Super crispy. Don't know what they do to them, but I think I almost ate all the fries that came with one of the burgers before I even touched the burger. The fries seemed to have a coating like some fries do to make them extra crispy on the outside. Whatever it was, it made them so good, I couldn't stop eating them. I was almost too full for the burger. But who are we kidding? If there is one thing I am good at, it is eating more than I should. The burger, which is described on Door Dash as "char grilled, fresh ground brisket and short rib burger, served on a toasted brioche fun with crisp lettuce, tomato onion marmalade and garlic aioli" was thick and incredibly flavorful. I couldn't stop eating that, either. It was that good. I ordered it medium, and it was pretty pink, but it was sooooooo flavorful, and all the toppings worked well together. I didn't get any cheese on it because I wanted to try to burger by itself and not mask it with cheese. I might try adding cheese next time, but honestly the burger is so good, I almost wouldn't want to cover up its flavor with cheese. Oh, I almost forgot. When you order on Door Dash, you can opt to have them include a small side of their chocolate-chipotle bbq sauce, and I highly recommend that you get it. It's a really interesting flavor and is good for dipping the fries in. I didn't try putting it on the burger, but that might be good, too. The mac and cheese was OK. It's important to note that I enjoyed the flavor but it is more of an eggy consistency than a saucy mac and cheese if that makes sense. It has a nice kick of black pepper, which I liked, though. The vegetarian fried rice was also fine but could have used a little salt. All that to say, don't be like me and procrastinate, get the Cali Alley Burger and fries ASAP.

We had been to Tarocco for lunch and figured we would ask them for a quote, too. My daughter warned me that the owner is trying to be an "influencer" on Instagram and posts photos of herself in crop Tops so I should beware, but that's fine by me. We called to get a quote and had a discussion. After we gave the owner all of our information, she told us she wouldn't give us a quote unless we came in person (?!) Which is weird because this isn't how restaurants work. Typically for events restaurants will give you a quote via phone or email for the sake of convenience. We had gotten 3 quotes already from other restaurants via phone. Making us drive 45 mins just to get a quote is a total waste of time. Especially if we can't afford it. So my daughter called again, left a VM explaining we couldn't come in person due to time constraints, and again asked for a quote. No reply. We waited a few days and called again. No reply. Finally we got a voicemail from the owner saying that she didn't like my daughter's attitude ?!!! Apparently you're not allowed to ask this restaurant how much they charge for events unless you're face to face. This lady has absolutely no idea how to run a restaurant. We took our business elsewhere and recommend that you do, too.

From the moment I sat down, the warm glow of the dining room, lively energy, and inviting aromas drifting from the kitchen set the tone for an exceptional evening. The cocktails were outstanding. The Ojos Así was beautifully balanced, with bright, refreshing notes layered over deeper, more complex flavors that unfolded with each sip. Its vibrant presentation and fragrant aroma made it as enjoyable to admire as it was to drink. Equally impressive was the Y El Hombre Caimán, a bold and expertly crafted cocktail bursting with character, combining rich flavors and a silky texture while remaining remarkably approachable. Both were the kind of cocktails that make you slow down, savor every sip, and appreciate the artistry behind them. For the main course, the Costilla Negra was the star of the table. Perfectly cooked and incredibly juicy, the short rib featured a beautifully caramelized exterior that gave way to tender, flavorful meat. Each bite delivered a satisfying balance of richness and refinement, while the thoughtfully plated accompaniments added contrasting textures and complementary flavors that elevated the dish even further. What truly elevated the experience was the service. Rhi, tending bar, was knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about the cocktail program. Her recommendations were spot on and added an extra layer of enjoyment to the evening. She is a true master at her craft.

I'm not sure what kind of GF bread some people are used to, but this just was not good. That's an understatement! The loaf size is tiny and very dense. Every time I sliced it, my knife ended up coated in gummy residue, which makes me think it was undercooked and possibly under-proofed. It also absolutely requires toasting. Eating it straight from the bag is not possible. The cinnamon raisin bread had maybe 1-2 raisins per slice. What frustrates me most is that I spent $85 for 6 loaves (including shipping), and I ended up throwing every single one away. Such a waste and such a disappointment. For now, I'll be sticking with Carbonaut GF bread until I finally find a gluten-free loaf that actually delivers on texture and flavor. BTW: the photo shows a slice of Carbonaut GF next to the Bread Seriously loaf for comparison.
