incredibly tasty California style mushroom pizza! perfect crust and great flavor. if a cocktail you've had here before isn't on the menu anymore, you can ask to have an in season version of it made.

At Gather in Berkeley, Charles Crebs uses sous vide to speed up the process of making infusions & jams, such as the grilled lemon marmalade for his Amaro Sour ($12), from days or months to mere hours. Read more

Organic and sustainable haven, with recycled leather belts on booth seats. Pizzas really good. And fermented appetizer plate worth trying.

The Walnut French Toast for Brunch is prime. Friendly staff and a nice, casual vibe makes for a lovely experience outside of the chaos that is Downtown Berkeley.
Frank KimJanuary 26, 2015
Had a great brunch here, which included their spicy tomato pizza with anchovies. The poached egg with ragu was good, and the pancakes were as well.

Kale salad was unexpectedly good. Simple ingredients used to creat awesome flavor. Spicy tomato pizza is also delicious.

Their brunch breakfast pizza is amazing! And their French toast and pancakes, as well.
Zoe WongFebruary 17, 2014
Excellent paleo friendly brunch spot! Asked for my scrambled eggs dish to be gluten free & dairy free - and they were very accommodating.
Alice FerrisOctober 1, 2013
Try the Spicy Tomato Pizza - Tomato, cashew puree, capers...oh yeah, and we added pancetta. To a vegan pizza. It was really good.
The FeastJune 13, 2011
Though not a strictly vegan restaurant (it's got plenty of selections for literally everyone), Gather's vegan "charcuterie" is one of the most imaginative and incredible animal-free dishes in the Bay Read more

The little gem salad is full of rich textures and satisfying flavors
Mandi DiehlFebruary 23, 2014
Order a Bloody Mary & the egg pizza. Good lord. It's an out of body experience.
Morgan LintonNovember 24, 2012
Order the Vegan "Charcuterie" as an appetizer. Best vegan appetizer I've ever had, prepared with care and great flavor profiles.
Christine CoolieoAugust 7, 2014
One of the best vegan meals I've ever had and my husband had the best chicken meal he's ever had.

Best brunch in the East Bay, get a brunch pizza, slap an egg on that thing. Also try one of their inventive brunch cocktails, they don't disappoint.
Jim AndersonSeptember 25, 2013
Try the Tomato Salad - Linda's tomato salad. Fresh and fabulous. I never get to eat enough tomatoes in California.
SamMay 29, 2013
Try the Quail - Served with duck sausage, pickled radish, bean salad, and beet puree. Striking and delicious.
Erin ProudfootDecember 15, 2014
Fontinella pizza was great (good cheese and good crust). The chocolate chip cookie was AMAZING!
GourmetLiveFebruary 9, 2012
Food blogger Laura from Kitchen Illiterate recommends Gather. “Their menu isn’t strictly vegetarian, yet all of their dishes highlight beautiful, seasonal produce.”
Alice FerrisOctober 1, 2013
Try the Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie - Vegan cookie to make amends for defiling the vegan pizza with meat. ;-)
Alex MomtchiloffJanuary 3, 2015
Complex & innovative layers of flavor & texture, healthy and satisfying, in an open & harmonious space.
Ann MariaMarch 8, 2014
Nettle scramble is awesome too much for me to finish. Poached eggs and the French Toast also looks amazing.
Christina BaileyApril 2, 2016
Latte is awesome. Bacon is amazing. Nice spot.

Really innovative cocktails, of their own invention and classics done up with new ingredients.

I love this place! I am new at the whole Vegan thing, and even if your not vegan you will love this place. The food is amazing and atmosphere is lovely. Can't wait to go again! J:D Read more

The soda is weird at first, I saw a little girl make a face when she tried and pushed it across the table to someone else. It's like fizzy vinegar.
Alice FerrisOctober 1, 2013
Try the Heirloom Tomato Salad - This was so good. Nothing better than a perfectly ripe tomato.
Tiff TingSeptember 26, 2012
Try the Vegan Charcuterie Plate - So many different flavors! Each option also had a bit of a kick to them.
Heather RomiosJune 16, 2012
The vegan charcuterie platter is Amazing. And this is coming from a girl who has a love affair with bacon.
VyomaJuly 25, 2013
Go for brunch on weekends. The duck confit hash and french toast are delish!!
Kian LaviMarch 6, 2020

Alice FerrisOctober 1, 2013
Try the Gruner Veltliner - When this is on the wine list by the glass, I get it.

Get the soup and salad as starters, and order the Vegan Charcuterie for dinner!

Breakfast egg pizza takes a while but it's worth it!
Kouros MohitApril 27, 2014
The best thing we had was a bottle of Pinot From #HandleyCellars we brought in. All the dishes we tried were confused and blah, service was terrible and we ended up on a table for two with 3 people.
Mary KJanuary 19, 2013
very attentive and quick service on a busy Friday night! our waiter was great.
Alice FerrisOctober 1, 2013
Try the Wagon Wheel grilled cheese - with tomatoes and mushrooms. Grown up cheese sandwich.
Tamra EngleSeptember 2, 2011
The menu changes with the seasonally fresh food.A bonus dining experience when you can walk to and from the resturant!
allie bergerJuly 3, 2010
Come after 11:30 to have access to the whole menu other wise it's not worth it. Beware the recycled belt booth TONS of crumbs in there. Don't miss the house made sparkling water
RY CHachMay 10, 2015
The best spot for pizza & drinks. Apps are killer as fug.
Christina BaileyApril 2, 2016
Egg sandwich and latte
Delyn SimonsApril 27, 2014
little gem salad, house coffee, fresh squeezed orange juice, egg sandwich
Craig VillamorSeptember 21, 2014
Get the French Toast if you like things that are obscenely sweet. Nothing subtle about this dish.
Ian RivamonteApril 9, 2011
Pizzas were great! Veggie charcuterie is superb. Try the Mayan cocktail too. Oh and the semifreddo is a winner.
Kevin SmoklerJanuary 11, 2015
Serves locally made sodas in wild flavors for the teetotaler in your group.
EdJuly 11, 2010
Outstanding spicy chicken (little kick). Chicken has true flavor because the meat is properly cooked unlike most restaurants. Naturally juicy - Wasn't salted in brine.

The steamed Kale salad is delicious with pine nuts, fried capers, red onion and roasted carrots.
Tyler HuesbySeptember 26, 2015
Really unique menu. Try the roasted corn pizza
Leslie MacchiarellaAugust 18, 2013
Reservations thru open table is the way to go.
