VyStar Credit Union CEO Brian Wolfburg and The Bread & Board owners Jonathan Cobbs and Dwayne Beliakoff were joined by Downtown stakeholders May 27 at the ribbon-cutting for the local restaurant chain’s dining and grab-and-go market concepts at VyStar’s corporate campus.
Cobbs and Beliakoff’s Baja Mexico-inspired restaurant Estrella Cocina is open on the rooftop at the credit union’s 100 W. Bay St. building. The Bread & Burger in the VyStar breezeway will open June 1.
Guests toured The Bread & Board Restaurant and The Bread & Board Provisions market on the ground floor of the 100 W. Bay St. building, which Cobbs said will open in about three weeks.
Wolfburg said VyStar’s growth the past two years allowed the partnership with The Bread & Board.
“One of the important parts of the Downtown campus is bringing it to life … for employees, for our members and for the community,” Wolfburg said.
Estrella Cocina will take reservations beginning May 28 and be open from 4-11 p.m.
Beliakoff said The Bread & Burger courtyard dining concept “popped naturally” when they saw the size of the shipping container that houses the restaurant kitchen.
The courtyard seats 231 and Cobb said the space has a 2,000-person capacity with beer and wine allowed throughout.
The restaurant will offer beef, turkey and veggie burgers, french fries and milkshakes.
Wolfburg said VyStar added a stage to the outdoor space to partner with other organizations and offer live music at lunchtime.
The breezeway will be open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday-Friday and for events. Cobbs said weekend hours could be added as the Downtown market grows.
The Bread & Board Provisions market’s focus will be local vendors and products from beer and wine, produce, sauces, espresso and more.
The market will open at 7 a.m. daily and the restaurant will be open 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday-Thursday; 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday; 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday; and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday.
