Flawless falafel, and equally good hummus and baba ghanoush. Small
but well-prepared selection of Jewish baked goods..
: Very small, so consider food to-go. Service is GOOD but
often requires patience.

A cozy restuarant that's been around for a long time. Yet they stick to what works and do it well. If your in the mood for some good fried chicken or prime rib, go here. My favorite is getting the complete meal which comes with a salad, soup, the main course, and of course the pie. I think my parents taking me here when I was young got me hooked on their pecan pie. They have a number of cream and fruit pies which are all very good - basically, you can't go wrong. You will not be hungry when you leave, but make sure you go early, cause the open and close early.

if you're into pottery, this is a great local shop to go to find clay, pottery tools, glazes, even pottery wheels and kilns. the staff is very knowledgeable and helpful, and will point you towards the right kind of glazes or clay for your needs and experience level. several of the staff actually teach at local pottery studios!

Walker's has good dinners, which include soup, salad, popovers, main course with starch and veggies cooked al dente, and a choice of at least 15 pies. I recently discovered the scallops entree, and they are tender and delicious. Since I no longer eat beef, this was a delightful find. The pies are the absolute best I've tasted, with a light crust and wonderful fillings. Try the lemon chiffon for a real taste treat, although my husband can't say enough about the cherry pie.
Pros: attentive servers, delicious roast beef and scallops, quiet
Cons: Sometimes hard to park on Solano; try the side streets

If you graduated from El Cerrito High chances are you've been here. The bar is great the bartenders knowledgeable and the space is huge. The pool tables are also great especially when you're the designated driver!

So, how can a bakery located on San Pablo Avenue be hard to find you ask? Simple, poor signage. But I still give it 5 stars because once inside, it's wonderful. Well lighted, spotless, a corner for the kiddies, and fabulous eats. And the service? Mama and family never seem to have a bad day, friendly, attentive, informative, I could go on, but better you should check it out for yourself. Oh and now that persimmons are in season, try a persimmon bar. So yummy. Or a lemon bar. Or a date bar. Or just anything. If you love your tea, high tea is served in the afternoon. Breakfast and lunches too, deserving a review of their own.

This business is located near the bottom of Solano Avenue. It is a very small Photo place providing a speedy reliable service for photo printing. I have always been satisified with the quality of prints I have recieved here and though it costs a little more than Longs or other Drug Store Bigger chains I care about the quality of my prints so it will usually be my choice.
