Comments on Rebecca's review of Berkeley Bowl Marketplace
Berkeley Bowl Marketplace
Address:
2020 Oregon Street
Berkeley, CA 94703
510-843-6929
Description: An independent, full-service supermarket that carries a wide variety of produce, both local and organic, along with conventional groceries and everyday items.
One of the first for local and organic produce
Berkeley Bowl is like shopping in a Farmers market, but it's open all the time and has a huge selection of organic and local produced foodstuffs. It was one of the pioneers in local / organic, and it still retains the local feel. I like the fact that the fruit and veggie selection is huge. For example, for some of the fruits and vegetables, you can buy the "smaller apples, pears, oranges, avocados etc", which you can't find at regular stores which have the larger fruits only. Sometimes you don't want to each 1 monster size piece of fruit, you know what I mean?
