 The Ales for ALS™ Benefit the ALS Therapy Institute:

The folks at the ALS Therapy Development Institute believe that Drug Discovery Is what will end ALS. The treatments in the current clinical pipeline may slow ALS for some, but they will not be enough to end ALS. We need to discover many more treatments. The ALS Therapy Development Institute (ALS TDI) is the largest drug discovery lab in the world focused solely on finding treatments for ALS.

The Experience, Alameda: Mosley’s Cafe + Trail Walk

The Experience:

The morning that turned into a treat!

You’ve been in this situation. You are on deadline plus, you have to deliver something somewhere and you have to walk the dog. I experienced it yesterday morning. Strapped by time, I threw the dog in the car along with SF on the Bay’s Alameda Trail Guides and drove to Mosley’s Café at the end of Grand Ave near the boat ramp – your  go-to Café on the water.

Once I gave owner Scott Mosley the maps, I drooled over the freshly baked pastries on display, but was tight for time. I asked him how far I can walk on the trail heading towards Webster St. He thought it is now open all the way to Alameda Point. With a husky in tow, I have to get mileage in if I want to work in peace the rest of the day.

Got the dog and went trekking, promising I would be back soon to relax with a coffee & one of those great homemade pastries with Summer.

What a great walk along the shore of the Alameda/Oakland Estuary with water views, parks, natural habitat. We only did 1.5 mi out to catch a fun view and audible revelry (!) of the Youth Sailing Club out in front of Encinal Yacht Club on the water. Walking here was a completely different experience of Alameda –  from that shoreline. When I go back, I will definitely have one of Mosley’s pastries or focaccia. They have made focaccia with strawberries, blueberries and goat cheese, as well as with sausage, cheddar cheese and chives. Yum!

On my list for my next trek.

Join the Café crew  in the Grand Marina for a peaceful morning on the dock with Seven Seas organic coffee, freshly baked homemade pastries, grilled cheese sandwiches and more. Local beer and wine also for that late lunch.

 Plus, they can’t wait to meet you!

Hours: Tues -Sun 8am – 3pm. 510-263-8228

Where:

2099 Grand Street
