two berkeley girls love food and love talking about food

March 11, 2004

well, i just got back from superb's bear's lair show with the velvet teen, and this show rocked!

and i just finished enjoying a fresh mozzarella, basil, tomato- foccacia sandwich from yali's cafe on oxford, across from GPB (think north-west side of campus, near west circle) under the berkeleyan building. this cafe kicks ass. open everyday, they have the probably the best almond latte (my favorite) that i've had in berkeley. well, they have the standard cafe menu but they do boast a wide array of fresh scones, croissants, tortes, cookies, etc every morning that look soo delicious.

onto the sandwich items. they have chicken salad, tuna salad, my favorite mozzarella, turkey, roast beef, on a selection of breads- baguettes, foccacia, white/wheat. most sandwiches range from $4.95 to $5.75. they come with a mini salad served with a garlic, balsamic vinagrette. i must say the mozzarella is so satisfying. fresh crisp basil, freshly sliced tomatoes, and light and airy fresh mozzarella (emphasis on fresh) on herbed focaccia, you can't get any better than that my friends. you can get the combo deals (1/2 serving of two selections: soup, salad, sandwich) for an affordable $5.

the cafe is always buzzing with people and has an adequate amount of chairs/tables for students to utilize.

oh and they have internet hookups as well!

alright kids, the weather has been so incredibly beautiful and odd at the same time. to celebrate, treat yourself to a limonada and slice of cheeseboard pizza (it's truly the ultimate in the high class pizza experience) soon! (north shattuck, across from chez panisse).

life is a matter of taste.

til next time,
melissa joy
