Spectra Southside
Lifestyle
The southern side of the UC Berkeley campus has multiple locations a Berkeley student can name off the top of their head, many of which help transform the student experience. Spectra Southside is located on the corner of Durant Street and Telegraph Avenue, a block away from the southern entrance to campus; from here, multiple classes are held just a few minutes away in Dwinelle or Barrows. Towards the other side of Telegraph, a lively scene near Dwight Way offers a great perspective on the historic street, with local thrift shops, cupcake stores, restaurants, and more dotting the avenue as you go south.
Located in the
Heart of Berkeley
OUR LOCATION IS EVERYTHING!! What’s better than being in the most prime location in Berkeley? We are steps away from everything; just take the crosswalk straight to Upper Sproul leading to Sather Gate and other attractions on UC Berkeley campus! Also located directly across from us are major banks like Chase and Bank of America, the U.S. Post Office, karaoke spots, and more! From various street vendors and performers, shops, and restaurants all over the area, there is always something happening on Telegraph! For quick, convenient meals within a 3-minute walking distance, you can stop by Chipotle, Subway, Abe’s Pizza, Taco Bell, Super Duper Burgers, Koja Kitchen, and more! For dessert and drink lovers, there are plenty of options within walking distance as well, such as Jamba Juice, YiFang, Sheng Kee Bakery, TP Professional Tea, Yogurt Park, Sharetea, CREAM, Raretea, Feng Cha, and countless more! Don’t miss out on the best Southside has to offer!
