The Experience, Alameda: The Local News
The Experience:
Put some spring into your walk!
The Local, selected as the Best Coffee Shop in Alameda for 2025, is making a splash this spring! They are serving up new Spring drinks like the one featured here. It’s the Matcha Wave – A bold blend of blue raspberry & matcha, topped with sweet cold foam for the ultimate refreshing sip! Another new drink is the Blossom Brew – A floral fusion of rose, strawberry & organic cold brew, finished with sweet cold foam for a smooth, dreamy taste! What are you waiting for?
This location has been a coffee house for the past 20+ years. It’s one of the oldest buildings on Park Street, built in 1891 as the original Masonic Temple. The owners are continuing the tradition of ‘small-business coffee on Park Street’! Old fashioned furniture reminiscent of an old library, makes it the perfect ambiance for getting your work done. Hours: Mon – Fri 7:30am – 4pm; Sa/Su – 8:30am – 4pm.
About The Local
A community gathering place in downtown Alameda, The Local is on the ground floor of the original Masonic Lodge building that has been at the heart of the community for over 130 years. New owner Soco Munkhod reopened The Local after the pandemic to the delight of the community after it had shuttered in December of 2020. Fans hastily came back with their laptops sipping their Lattes and noshing on tasty pastries and sandwiches in this lovely historic building.
