Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner on Jack London Square, CB boasts a sweet outdoor patio, reclaimed wood walls, black slate floors, and a convenient take-out window. The grub's by Coda's chef/owner, and ranges from tri-tip paninos, to gnocchi with bacon and smoked mozzarella, to soft polenta n' fig relish flanked pork shank, which is pretty typical, since pigs struggle with the long irons.
