Great New Bakery
Sweet Adeline: 3350 Adeline Street, Berkeley
Sweet Adeline is a new (a mere 3 months old) bakery near the intersection of Adeline, Stanford & MLK. It's good!
i stopped in this AM for the first time & was pleased. they serve organic coffee, have raw sugar as an option, and the pastry? excellent!
those that know me well know that i'm a pastry snob (i moved to the bay area to be a pastry chef, and apprenticed at the Mark Hopkins in SF). so i can be very critical about basked goods. but sweet adeline delivers.
they offer savory pastries, sweet pastries, and breads. all was fresh and made with top quailty ingredients. a worker (possibly an owner) answered questions from the person ahead of me about what apples she uses in the turnovers. "right now, granny smith. in the fall we use graventstien, grown in sepastopol." good answer!
i'll be going back!

Sweet Adeline... (bah-bah-bah!)
(to the tune of "Sweet Caroline")
Sweet Adeline is a new bakery on Adeline, just south of Alcatraz.
It's baked goods are delightful.
It's been written up in the Chronicle, and Chowhound loves it, too.
Me, I like it not just for the sweet treats, but because it provides one of the few comfortable neighborhood hangouts in that part of South Berkeley.

Foodie Trip Report
On Chowhound, a poster provides a lengthy report of her eating over 8 days in the Bay Area, much of it in the East Bay.

Say it! Say it! Say, "Cheese!"
The Chronicle features Berkeley's historic Cheese Board Collective. For those who've never had the pizza at CheeseBoard Pizza, put down your computers right now and head there for an amazing treat.
I had thought that the Cheese Board was directly affiliated with local bakery Arizmendi, but the article points out that the two are very separate, with the Cheese Board having helped out Arizmendi, but having no financial stake.
