Blackberries, oranges, grapes and walnuts are all in season. Check out these scrumptious treats that you can have for breakfast or during a study break. All of them cost less than $5 and can be found a block from campus!

Mixed berry scones at Babette
These gluten-free scones, available on Thursdays at Babette in the Berkeley Art Museum, are rugged and dry on the outside but soft like a cupcake on the inside. Break it in half and you’ll see blotches of strawberries and blackberries that look like confetti.

While pastries by Nabolom Bakery are delivered every morning to the Berkeley Student Food Collective, this treat is made on-site by student volunteers. It goes great with coffee or as a mate for breakfast!

Honey and walnut gelato at Al Mare
This cold treat tastes just like it sounds and has the added creaminess of gelato made fresh. Look out for the orange, chocolate and spice gelato and pumpkin flavors next month!

Grape oolong tea at Asha Tea House
Asha Tea House makes this tea with fresh fruits. The bitterness of California red grape peels and oolong tea is balanced with the sweetness of crushed grapes at the bottom of the drink. It’s perfect iced!
