What People Are Saying
East Bay Express, The San Francisco Chronicle, Oakland Tribune and San Jose Mercury News rave about Cafe Muse's new raw food menu and fresh redesign.
East Bay Express
Most Affordable California Cuisine
Just think "Californian cuisine," and your wallet feels $60 lighter. Vegetables with pedigrees cost, man. But not at Cafe Muse, the Berkeley Art Museum cafe, where you can enjoy raw and organic meals and a break from the campus craziness while immersing yourself in a concrete-slab idyll.

What's not cooking in Berkeley?
Raw food's on the menu at the Art Museum's Cafe Muse
By Jonathan King, Public Affairs
It's sometimes hard to recall that Berkeley was once just another American town, whose citizens cooked, served, and ate what Americans everywhere did.

Trendy cuisine an adventure in dining -- and dieting
By Jenny Slafkosky, Staff Writer
ONE of the hottest cooking trends requires no heat and no cooking.
Sound crazy? Not to the hoards of foodies, environmentalists, creative vegetarians and chefs jumping on the raw food bandwagon.
Supporters say raw cuisine offers a new adventure in dining, with an exciting array of tastes and textures. Best of all, they say, a raw food diet is also the key to better health.

The Joy of Uncooking
By Aleta Watson, Mercury News
Spicy pad thai with zucchini noodles, summer rolls with cucumber wrappers, pizza with a sprouted wheat crust -- raw food is not just carrot juice and wheat grass anymore. Although ascetics long have experimented with uncooked food as a path to spirituality and long life, a new generation of chefs is winning a wider audience with dishes that are as much about flavor as health.

Art in the raw
By Karola Saekel
Families flocking to UC Berkeley for graduation ceremonies might find something they won't encounter back home in Fresno or Farmington. Sushi without rice, pad Thai minus cooked noodles, lasagna innocent of pasta -- it's a bit like conceptual art and it's all available in the cafe at the Berkeley Art Museum.
