Exterior street view of Fred Cody Building & Cody's Cafe at dusk in Berkeley, California.

Telegraph Avenue elevation.
The lofty cafe space at Cody’s Cafe told the Fred Cody building where to go: It supports offices and opens onto the street and into the adjacent bookstore in Berkeley.

The cafe features a "piano" mezzanine structure, a sidewalk greenhouse for additional seating, and production kitchen in a two story high space connected  to both the street and the bookstore.
