It is in the Gourmet Ghetto, on the corner of Shattuck and Vine (right across the street from the famous Chez Panisse). It was one of the first collectives in the nation, I believe (I could be totally wrong about that). The people there know more about cheese than anyone I have come across on the West coast. Not to mention, their baked goods are amazing, and make sure you go in the evening to get a slice of pizza and listen to some jazz music. If you want to see Berkeley North Side culture in action, it is happening at the Cheeseboard on summer evenings. http://cheeseboardcollective.coop/History/CheesePizzaHistory.html<br /><br />OH! and Check out Pyramid Brewery in Berkeley also. Gosh, I have many many other good Oakland and Berkeley foodie tips for you. Oakland is awesome...make sure you check out the Temescal district too. I am curious as to your urban planning opinions on that particular area of Oakland...well, all of Oakland actually. It is an interesting place.melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14748467770642137951noreply@blogger.com
