The Experience, Alameda: The Local Coffee

The Experience:

Get fresh-brewed happiness in a cup!

This is your go-to coffee house in Alameda. Try a cup of cortado (equal parts espresso & steamed milk featured here) with oat milk. It’s a perfect match with a wheat free coconut macaroon..

The Local specializes in hand-crafted pour over coffees, espresso drinks and tea. They offer pastries, cookies, cakes and a simple food menu to complement their beverages. Fans rave about the Andouille sausage wrap with the Breakfast Croissant. And they have fast wi-fi!

Established in 2017. 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.
