This year, for our annual Best of Berkeley issue, The Daily Californian pulled in nominations from our staffers and opened up voting to the student body and neighboring community. We’ve also thrown some new nominations into the mix: campus celebrity, student artist and best Indian and Japanese restaurants, to name a few. Although the campus landscape is ever-changing, generations of students will revel in all that UC Berkeley has to offer, from longtime classics to new favorites. Without further ado, we crown this year’s standouts and present to you the 2025 Best of Berkeley.
