The Local

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.

The Experience:

Celebrate our Ocean over a cup of your favorite espresso drink!

The ocean is precious and vital to our existence. World Ocean Day was June 8, a day we honor our connection to the ocean and are mindful of what more we can do to protect it. All through the month of June and throughout the summer, the Local celebrates our World Ocean with the “One Of Many Tales” underwater photography exhibit showcasing our oceans’ breathtaking beauty and fragility.

Local photographers, Manuel C. and Andra I. are traveling the world and sharing their adventures and the beauty of our natural world. Drop into The Local and view the exhibit, which will be up until September. And have your favorite drink while you peruse these photographs highlighting our majestic yet vulnerable oceans.

Besides all the wonderful espresso drinks, teas, wine and beer, they have an evolving menu of Breakfast pastries and sandwiches, lots of Lunch salads including a Nicosia, and gourmet Lunch sandwiches. Do try their Salami Provolone  – salami, provolone cheese, pesto and tomato on Baguette!
