Kensington

Every Sunday, Kensington holds its beloved Farmers Market. It is a place to shop for in-season fruits and vegetables and a slew of other goodies like artisan pasta, breads, wood-fired pizza, pasture-raised whole chickens, and even a taste of France from La Noisette Sweets, which offers French cakes and breads. If they bring their bread pudding with salted caramel to the farmers market, be sure you grab some. You won’t regret it!
 
If you’re a pizza enthusiast, you’ll love Benchmark Pizzeria. They specialize in wood-fired pizza and believe core ingredients make a pizza great. All the cheese, sausage, pies, and pasta are made in-house. Their agricultural produce comes from the San Francisco Bay area and their Italian dry goods are imported from Italy. All the meat is responsibly raised, nitrate, and hormone-free.
 
When you’re looking for a sandwich on to go or to skip a drive into Berkeley for an item forgotten, Young's Market is the best place to stop.

Kensington Circus Pub, located at 389 Colusa Avenue, is a great place for live music. This local favorite offers British pub food options and the finest British Ales. They serve dinner seven nights a week and provide live music from a wide range of genres. Another favorite is Arlington Wine and Spirits.
