Solano Avenue weaves between two cities, Berkeley and Albany. We feature an abundance of local, independently owned shops, restaurants and interesting enterprises. Solano Avenue is one of Berkeley’s most walk-able districts, where window shopping, meeting up with friends, enjoying a new culinary experience, or stopping for a coffee break are perfect pastimes.
Where else can you find such a dynamic range of experiences in one area?
With a culturally rich group of shops and restaurants, Solano Avenue provides an outdoor, open-air experience unlike any other.
Come see for yourself the neighborly spirit and local flavor on display on Solano Avenue.
