The Experience, Emeryville: Bay St Emeryville Copper & Malt

The Experience:

Flights of Wine + Chocolate anyone?

Emeryville has its own Brewery – wonderful Wondrous Brewing and now, its own Wine Bar.

Walk into newly opened Copper & Malt at Bay St and Somms (Sommeliers) will guide you through an extraordinary wine tasting that you can even pair with chocolate. And besides the wine bar in this shop, every spirit here has a story.

“We like to tell the stories behind our wines and spirits,” says co-owner Ashley Sandhu. “Our Somms, each with 35 years’ experience, curated our wine experience with a mix of domestic and international wines.” Love the buttery chardonnays? They’ve got one for you. Don’t love the buttery chardonnays, they have a French chardonnay for you. And more. Shelves boast unique beers from around the globe. Grab a beer, come sit at the bar and explore that country.

Look around and you will see that Copper & Malt is also a lovely gift shop. Something for everyone in your life. Artisan chocolates with single ingredient origins. International beers, wines from around the globe, California, Oregon and more. Top shelf spirits and cigars. Unique non-alcoholic beverages. They worked hard on sourcing these special offerings.

Prior to opening their dream shop, Ashley and husband Harparam Sandhu produced a health enhancing sparkling beverage called Skin H2O. Delicious and refreshing with the secret health enhancing ingredient in red wine, without the alcohol – Resveratrol!

Get down to Bay St for your very own wine journey and perhaps do some shopping. They look forward to starting a conversation!

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.
