I used this vet practice when I live in the Bay area 5 years ago. I just returned here and went to a cheaper vet nearby and had a bad experience with one of my small/older dogs so I decided to remain with them for my pets' care.
This incident which could have been detrimental to my pet made me realize that you can't skimp on your pets' care as it could cost their life. They are more expensive than other vets in the area however I feel I can entrust my pets' well being with them especially after the aforementioned incident with another vet.
Hours are conveient and they have several specialists on staff.

They really do have a little bit of everything here. It's a typical Berkeley hippy/new-age styled establishment but it's presented in a very clean, efficient, and professional way.
They also have all sorts of herbal remedies which sometimes are a good alternative to Western medicine
Tip: Use their video rental store! They have a pretty decent selection and it's only a $1.00 a day! The one problem with this is that since it's a tiny little annex, they are often out of the good stuff.

i recently moved to southern california and one of the biggest bummers is that i am far from the healing practice of koala at on point acupuncture. a friend told me about koala and i was a bit skeptical, as i needed acupuncture for hormonal/women-related issues. but i was delighted to find koala one of those exceptional people who could sit with anyone and connect. the intake was long and thorough, he asked great questions, and listened attentively to my history and my needs. koala also has excellent skills with needles - they didn't hurt at all. i believe he trained at five branches, which was where my former healer trained, and clearly, they are doing something right! i am sensitive to spaces too, and on point is clean, open, and good energy -- with really cool and interesting photographs on the walls. that plus the soothing music, combined with koala's easy-going and wise nature, helped me relax right into treatment. he also prescribed herbs and nutritional info that have helped me and my menses quite a bit. i hope to move back to the bay area so i can return to on point again.

Elephant Pharmacy is unlike any pharmacy I've ever been to. They're like if the tea and health part of Whole Foods was gently inflated to ten times its size. They have healthy solutions for pretty much any problem somewhere in their store. Plus they have delicious snacks, sweet and savory treats, fun toys, a great book selection, and a ton of video rentals (including lots of mainstream titles) that rent for just a dollar each. And free classes! And massage! And makeup that won't give you cancer!

This is a great family office including a huge, comfortable waiting area filled with toys, books, and magazines for kids and their moms. Many comfortable couches and chairs line the walls and middle area. The front desk is staffed by volunteers and interns, all very pleasant and eager to help. The staff is often busy and hustling, but you’ll enjoy it if you can get an appointment.

More
Pharmaca is an Integrative Pharmacy located on Solano Avenue near the Berkeley/Albany border.
An integrative pharmacy is a new idea which takes Western medicine and combines it with alternative therapies all in one place. For instance, you could purchase Tylenol and gingko pills after you get a chair massage and try some herbal tea.
Herbal tea is free in the back of the store, by the way.
The pharmacy is a traditional pharmacy, with technicians versed in both Western and alternative medicines. They are very helpful and will direct you to the right remedy for you if you like.
The store also features bath and beauty products such as Alba Botanica, Zia Natural Cosmetics and AloeGen.
Try Pharmaca today, you may switch from a regular pharmacy altogether like I did.

This closet-sized pharmacy is located just inside the front door of a Summit Medical Center building at Dwight and Milvia (Herrick Campus). In my experience, it seems there are only 5 employees, all of them very friendly. If you want to be known on a first name basis and get thorough service and advice, then I recommend this pharmacy. Because it's a hidden gem, there's never a line. Several employees are fluent in Spanish. I recommend this for prescriptions only, as they hardly sell any over the counter items. The only drawback is that the hours are limited to Monday through Friday 9am-5pm.

Walgreens has the general drug-store merchandise (medicine, personal care products, random toys and books, candy, etc.) but the fact that they have all this available makes it a good store in my opinion. The prices are reasonable for the majority of their merchandise, and there's usually something worth getting every time you go. They have cheap movies (mainly old series or relatively unknown movies), around holidays they have candy sales, and they do have a decent selection of drinks, if one just quickly wants to get something. The employees are nice and the service at the cashier is usually fairly speedy.

I love the fact that the Safeway in Berkeley is opened 24 hours. I don't know if they're all like that, but ours is. This place is great in the day time, a convenient place for students to get food. However if you go at night. The place is kinda scary. The lights are dimed to save energy...and there are a lot of people that shoplift around this hour...I myself have witnessed 2 shopliftings...and the security guards don't do such a good job at monitoring the store.
The food is not always that fresh. A lot of the veggies already have a great deal of brown on them...
