Welcome to Gourmet Ghetto, North Campus
Spanning the portion of Shattuck Avenue bordered by Rose Street to the north and Hearst Avenue to the south, the area known as the "Gourmet Ghetto" or "North Campus" includes some of the finest neighborhoods in the Bay Area.
Conveniently located near UC Berkeley and the seminaries of "Holy Hill," this area is particularly popular among professors and graduate students of these renowned educational institutions. It's also home to the world-famous "Gourmet Ghetto" — and, specifically, Chez Panisse, which opened in 1971 and sparked a food revolution based on organic, seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. The original Peet's Coffee is here, too.
Vibrant Shattuck Avenue also has plentiful art galleries, a fabulous Art & Crafts Cooperative, a sidewalk music series and festivals every summer and fall.
Located in the City of Berkeley
