The Experience, Alameda: The Local Coffee

The Experience:

Put the ‘Good’ back in your Morning!

Try their just brewed happiness in a cup – a cup of cortado* with oatmilk. It’s a Spanish beverage with roughly equal parts espresso and warm milk.  The milk is steamed, but not frothy. A perfect match with a wheat free coconut macaroon.

Good morning! *(cortar – to cut. The large amount of milk cuts the acidity of the coffee.)

Did you know that the Local is now serving the YUZU, an espresso tonic over ice?  And if you want a little kick, try their Mojito Fizzes with zesty lime, fresh mint and sparkling soda water

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.

So, what can $5 buy these days? Your $5 admission fee includes a tour of the house, an architectural exhibit, a look at the studio where architects Henry Meyers and his daughter, Mildred, worked and you can a also have a fun step into the past.

You can stroll through the gardens, often helped out by volunteers and visit the carriage house gallery dedicated to the works of early Alameda artist Edwin Siegfried, (1889-1955), noted for his paintings of the salt marshes that once lined Alameda.

Meyers House opens May 25th at 1pm and is located at 2021 Alameda Avenue. Docents are on hand to point out items of particular interest and answer questions.

About the Meyers House & Gardens

The House is a City of Alameda Landmark, designated Historical Monument Number 26, and managed by the Alameda Museum. Located on a tree-lined residential street in the bayside town of Alameda, the grounds of the Meyers House offer a beautiful and unique period venue to visit. The Meyers House is open each month on the fourth Saturday from 1-4pm

The three Meyers sisters originally bequeathed the house and grounds to the City of Alameda for use as a house museum and a passive park. On May 1, 2013, the City of Alameda transferred operations and ownership to Alameda Museum.
