If you would like to get to know our staff a little better, try visiting our Staff Page . We are closed Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Day. Our store is located across the street from the campus of the University of California at Berkeley and its renowned Zellerbach Hall. We are also near the student union building, and within walking distance of the Greek Theater, Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive. If you've ever been to our store, you know that the sound of classical music and whisper of utensils often pervades our space.
Parking can be difficult.
There are public garages and lots located within walking distance on nearby Telegraph Ave. There is also a little street parking.
