Ya Gotta Love It

Ya gotta love all the funky, wonderful places there are in the Bay area to get a quick but delicious bite to eat! This is one of our standbys, the Seabreeze in Berkeley, right next to the frontage road at the corner of University on the bay side of the freeway.

I imagine the Seabreeze began as a fruit stand, as they still feature big boxes of fresh fruit, but they also offer a huge selection of baked goods, bottled drinks, and snack foods.

A great reason for going there is that you can order a sandwich picnic to go on your way to the Marina or the Dog Park, or hot things to eat at their (chained) picnic tables. Fine dining, it's not, but it's a great place to grab a bite and sit in the sunshine in your blue jeans with no shame.

We are particularly partial to their shrimp cocktail in a cup or their fresh salads. On our last visit, however, My Beloved and I were in the mood for oysters so he ordered the Oyster Sandwich and I opted for the fried oysters with fries and cole slaw. Both were too much to finish and very fresh and yummy.

Heart healthy? Probably not. Gourmet? Nah. But delicious on a sunny day? Ya gotta love it!
