Best Brunch in Jack London Square!. I love this place. They have the best brunch in the square. The ingredients are all sourced locally and their menu is diverse and consistently good. They also have a full bar and make excellent cocktails.

Citysearch Editorial Review. This darling hipster haven may be just another step in the facelift of Jack London Square, but the concept--all-day restaurant utilizing local, quality ingredients--has been a proven success elsewhere. For breakfast and lunch, the warehouse-looking eatery offers coffee, pastries and a small lunch menu (comprised of sandwiches like a grilled pork banh mi or classic Reuben and salads) from a walk-up window on the sidewalk; come dinner, the space, all reclaimed wood and low lighting, is clearly one for staying and sharing a lengthy meal with friends. Despite being labeled as mains, all dishes on the regularly changing dinner menu are best enjoyed family-style--portions are small, but with the impressive list of cazuelas (tapas-like dishes of meat and/or vegetables cooked in Spanish-style terra cotta dishes) and entrees like braised pork shank or chicken and dumplings, chances are the table will want to try a little bit of everything anyway. To fully embrace what Chop Bar is going for, try breakfast, lunch and dinner--and enjoy it at an outdoor table looking out on Oakland's industrial streets.
