2/21/26- Very tasty sandwich. Employees very friendly. Place looked and smelled very clean…read more Small sandwich shop at the Berkeley BART Station on Shattuck. Sandwiches named after cartoon/comic characters. Comic themed and comics for sale. There is a sweets and coffee shop inside also called Scoop N Chill. Restroom available for customers which closes about 30 min before the shop closes. BART station is underground for easy access. Got there about 7pm and it wasn't very bust so quiet and relaxing. There is a "lounge" area right outside the entrance.

Expensive for a small sandwich and was made to the taste of cartoon character's taste instead of my…read moretaste which is weird. The veggie meat was ultra salty and the Beast sandwich had sweet strawberry jam. Did not see that on the menu and didn't correlate the names of the sandwiches to the tv characters my kids watched when they were younger until I opened up the sandwich and saw the red jam. I prefer peanut butter and jam instead of meat and jam. Only veggie was chopped lettuce and barely saw anything else. Overwhelming flavor was the jam which was squeezing out of the sandwich. Disappointed- was hoping for an impressive sandwich at this price point.

I ate at a nearby restaurant and walked by. I saw they had Poutine, which I absolutely love! So, I…read moremade it a point to go there to try it out. Service is quick, and staff is super friendly. I also loved that they know the neighborhood dogs, who love to stop by for a little treat of chicken. I met Wyatt the dog today. He was so well behaved and definitely deserved his treat! It was pretty busy. I know this is a local fave. There are only a few available tables and some bench seating, so keep that in mind. I think their packaging is great because it's a box, so you can take the food for a picnic. I think it's a cute little "hole in the wall," that definitely gives it a neighborhood feel. I had their poutine, super delish! Loved their gravy! My husband got their chicken sandwich. So yummy, a little spicy. Lots of different textures which was nice. Looking forward to going back and trying more things!

Usually lunchtime is very busy, but we stopped by for dinner and it was not too crowded. My go-to order is the Berkeley Special with cheddar cheese and veggies on honey wheat bread and it never disappoints! Everything tastes very fresh and the honey wheat bread is amazing, love how it is so soft. Mezzo is well known for its humongous portion sizes, so this sandwich can easily be shared. If you really want a meal that lasts for days, I would recommend ordering a salad - that is truly a behemoth. No other restaurant has bang for buck quite like Mezzo. Perfect for hungry college students - they really know their customers. Highly recommend!

Glad we were able to track them down cause their sandwiches look so basic in pics but are so darn good. The market is cool too but I'm always gonna start by bee lining it to the deli in back of the shop to order one of their daily sandwiches. They make 3 flavors each day. 18$ a pop. Delicious.

Be warned - the prices at this meat counter are exorbitant. And they don't label prices in the case…read moreso you don't know what you're paying until they ring you up. And you'll feel taken advantage after the fact like we did. I naively thought there prices would be on par with other local meat counters like Market Hall or Berkeley Bowl, where I normally buy meat so didn't ask. But no. I was charged $50 for 1.4 pounds of rib-eye. It was $34.99 per pound. I felt too embarrassed and was too shocked to say anything in the moment but now I'm just mad at myself. Won't shop at this meat counter again.

My four year-old didn't like all the mixings on top, so we let him try just the booza and he liked it! He even carried it all the way home and tried to put it in the freezer for later. The vibe is immaculate. Lots of people like to sit at the tables indoors yet the outdoor seating is truly delightful in Berkeley if you are lucky enough to get a table.

A true hidden gem right at the bottom of Solano Ave in Albany!…read more I'm embarrassed to admit that Picnic has been around for about 5 years in the east bay and I've just tried it for the first time this week. But I'm so glad I was finally introduced to it. The staff greet you promptly when you enter and you can even watch them work effortlessly together in the open prep-station behind the counter. They have a gorgeous display of deli items, wines, cheeses, cold sides, and even some cute candles & house made croutons. They've got everything you would need for an elevated picnic or even a barbecue with the family. They have an intriguing selection of house made sausages-- the Chicken Tikka Masala sausage caught my eye and I can't wait to try it. They also sell whole smoked quail that are seasoned heavily yet each bite has just the right amount of smokiness, spices, and salt. Their hot food items and sandwiches are perfect for a quick lunch during your break from work or on your way home. There are also a few counter seats if you want to enjoy your meal there. So far I've tried the smoked quail, the Muffaletta sandwich, and their green lentil soup with chicken + veg. The sandwich was filled to the brim and each bite was a flavor bomb. The lentil soup was very comforting & paired well with the smoked quail. I'm looking forward to trying everything they have to offer.

We also had the IPA which (1) was surprisingly light considering the 9% ABV and (2) complemented the meal well. The service was great! And all the staff we came across was super friendly. I'm sure this spot fills up during sports nights as this seems to cater to that crowd. I highly recommend this spot!!
