You know the scene: It's 6:00 a.m. in west Berkeley and already there's a queue wrapping around the block, with people chomping at the bit to get a bite at Bette's. This grande dame of Berkeley breakfasting has been drawing crowds since it opened in 1982 and it has never stopped. You see professors and poets, pundits and punks, students and starving artists, builders, businessmen, neighborhood regulars, even tourists with maps, guidebooks and reviews in hand.

So grab a friend and go! Bette's is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Whatever meal you choose, if it isn't delicious you will not find it at Bettes.
