Fourth Street is Berkeley's Rodeo Drive--expensive and eclectic. Some of the nicest places to eat and shop in the East Bay can be found here, at a much more comfortable pace than San Francisco's frenetic bustle. The sun shines through the leafy avenues on a nice day as families looking for some shopping after their weekend brunch roam around; Berkeley students can be found grabbing a bite to eat while putting off their homework. While roaming around here, you will find several independent bookstores, diners, and cafes. Fourth Street offers a respite from the hectic urbanity of SF and allows die-hard shoppers to spend their money in an intimate, friendly environment.

Relaxing spot in Berkeley to have lunch and stroll through stores.
