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.
