The daily sandwiches here (11:30am-2pm) are the best in the world! $11 per sandwich. Andronico's across the street is a good place to grab groceries.

Closest bus stop. Grab the 51B north to go to Downtown Berkeley Ave. (10min) or the 51B going the opposite direction to go to the Rockridge BART station (10 min). If you go north the end station will take you to a really nice park by the bay, including Skate restaurant (sea food!)

Shopping

I marked this as shopping as the area north of Zachary's is full of cute shops you can stroll around. But don't go to this area without checking out Zachary's amazing pizza's! A real American experience.

Entertainment & Activities

Not really a zoo, but a mini kid's farm. Depending on time of year the place features goats, ducks, chickens, pigs and more. Also features great hiking trails and the perfect picnic parks. All free.
