Divan, a new Turkish restaurant in West Berkeley, delivers on some of the cuisine’s greatest hits: pides (“Turkish pizza”), pomegranates and pistachios, plus the passion for grilled meats and eggplant, Turkey’s most beloved vegetable. But, Divan does it in a sleek, contemporary, spacious room with a full bar, without the museum-like displays of ceramics and rugs other Turkish restaurants in the Bay Area often lean on for decor.

Oakland’s Tiniest Bakery Gears Up for a Big Thanksgiving

One of the Bay Area’s tiniest and most beloved bakeries is hidden away, literally underground, in an Oakland basement. If it weren’t for the customers who routinely line up on the sidewalk outside, most people wouldn’t ever guess that Gregory’s Gourmet Desserts even exists. “Only two persons inside at a time,” the sign taped to the door stipulates. Once you step inside, the reason for the rule becomes self-evident: The bakery can’t hold much more than that. Not “so much a store as it is a storage nook,” as I wrote after my first visit back in 2014.

A movement of traditional healers rises in Oakland

If you have a toothache, you go to the dentist. If you have a broken bone, you go to the doctor. But how do you tend to your emotional wounds such as grief, past trauma and burnout?

Japan’s Favorite Boutique Winery in Berkeley Throws a Japanese Pop-Up Party

Broc Cellars didn’t necessarily set out to become one of Japan’s favorite Bay Area wineries. But in 2018, a surprise appearance in the popular wine manga The Drops of God propelled the tiny, Berkeley-based natural winemaker to newfound celebrity status. Soon, Japanese oenophiles were buying up almost as many bottles of Broc’s Vine Starr Zinfandel, the specific wine featured in the manga, as the winery could produce. Today, Broc sells merch with the phrase “Got Grapes?” written in Japanese katakana characters. And travelers from Japan routinely make a special pilgrimage to the winery’s West Berkeley tasting room, eagerly snapping photos and, of course, buying a bottle or two at the source.
