Kensington

Nestled in the hills between El Cerrito, Berkeley, and Albany, tiny Kensington is a little town with bodacious views.

Don’t blink or you’ll miss it! Kensington’s one street shopping district boasts a great wine shop, several gourmet coffee outlets, a restaurant (with actual Picassos on the walls), a deli to die for, a grocery (with 4-star catering), a bank, an ice cream parlor, a general AND hardware store, and a small post office. Fill up across the street.

This is the hub of quiet Kensington, just minutes away from the bustling shopping district along Solano.
