Readers’ Choice 2023

Readers’ choice winners

We asked what you like best in the Bay Area, and now the results in our 2023 Readers’ Choice poll have been tabulated.

Mazel Tov to the winners of the 2023 Readers’ Choice Awards, all deemed by J. readers as the best in the four regions of the Bay Area. Some you know already, and more than 50 of the winners are brand new winners this year.

Every year since 2005, we’ve asked readers to tell us your favorite places to worship, dine, shop, conduct business or hold special events. Readers also have recommended caterers, preschools, realtors, senior residences, bagel shops, fitness centers, charitable organizations, florists, museums — and more.

We hope you enjoy seeing places and people you already know about, and we know you will be delighted with new listings as well.   

Thank you for telling us what makes Jewish life in the Bay Area so appealing!
