a partial list of Berkeley's vegetarian restaurants:

http://www.berkeleydailyplanet.com/article.cfm?issue=08-26-05&storyID=22188

Berkeley is very veg-friendly. Besides the places listed above, others that
come to mind are:

Cafe Muse, on Durant Avenue behind the University Art Museum - has many raw
vegan dishes on the menu
Numerous Indian restaurants that serve veg dishes -  but most such food is
heavily spiced and/or oily
There's an Italian vegetarian place on Center Street - never been there, so
can't comment...
Long Life Vegi/Seafood on University - Chinese, cheap, close to UC Berkeley
campus, popular
Numerous street vendors near UC Berkeley campus - salads, baked potatoes,
Greek foods, etc.
A restaurant that used to be strict vegan but now sells chicken and veggie
items - Durant/Telegraph
Multiple juice bars - conventional "Western" and Asian tapioca tea places
abound
Whole Foods at Ashby/Telegraph - carries those grossly overpriced raw
dehydrated foods. Can you afford to spend $5 for 150 gms of raw crackers?
There used to be a raw juice bar on Addison Street downtown - don't know
if they are still open

In a category by themselves:
Berkeley Bowl - largest selection of produce in Northern  California, and
possibly the largest single source selection of produce in the US.
An amazing place.
Monterey Market - close runner-up to Berkeley Bowl. These 2 stores were
described as "produce palaces" by a jealous SF newspaper columnist
some years ago. San Francisco has nothing that can compete.

Caffeine/coffee shops are very popular here (caffeine is the "drug of
choice" for many).  Most such shops sell salads, juices, and
(veggie) sandwiches.

Nearby Oakland is relatively veg friendly as well. What is surprising is
that San Francisco, which describes itself locally as"The City", is not
very veg-friendly in comparison to Berkeley or even Oakland.
