The Musical Offering has been a Berkeley institution for decades. In the back is our Music Shop, which offers an excellent, curated selection of classical music records and CDs and an expert staff. In the front, our Cafe, which serves delicious food and drinks every day.

In the Cafe

In the morning, folks swing by to enjoy a hot cup of freshly brewed coffee and a light breakfast, maybe grabbing a fresh-out-of-the-oven pastry on their way out. Around noon, the cafe is transformed into a busy lunch spot popular with students and UC Berkeley faculty alike.  We offer beer and wine all afternoon and sometimes in the evenings too! Our Daytime Menu is a delicious collection of house-made soups, salads and sandwiches, daily specials, and beverages.
