The Local

By far the best coffee shop in Alameda - owned by a local, Otto - he might be the best person you’ll ever meet! Delicious food, generous portions, great coffee. This place is buzzing with locals reading, playing chess or doing cool things on their laptop. Strong wifi and comfortable chairs. I would move in here if I could :) lol Highly, highly recommended.

Amazing experience. Great food and Coffee. Loved the customer service. Will be a regular here now onwards.

Excellent and friendly service. Tasty food. Look at that smoked salmon bagel and mocha. Come for a visit with friends or for live music and nibbles. So glad they are here!

Otto has given Park St. an amazing place for community. He is there most times, which is rare to see an owner there on a consistent basis. He and his employees are very friendly and kind, especially Josh. We go there often for their fun, local gatherings. Drinks are fresh and natural; I even got a drink named after me- try "Aimee's Apple Cider". I love that we can walk in there and Otto knows us and so many other patrons on a first name basis. Love love love The Local.

Amazing and friendly server. First time here and I’m definitely coming back. Highly recommend this place. The guy who helped me, I did not catch his name but made feel welcomed. My Mexican hot chocolate and breakfast sandwich were amazing.

Pretty good coffee shop, plenty of choices in coffee and food. Plenty of seating area with wifi and outlets. Parking isn't too painful to find around the block

Very warm environment. I like the Cheese toast very much!

So glad this gem of a coffee shop/hangout re-opened. Great drinks/food, service and atmosphere.

Nice place with a relaxed vibes and their drinks are tasty.

The Local has really taken over as my go to cafe. The atmosphere is amazing, the prices are wonderful for the serving sizes, and it is just such a cozy place to work or read a book. Oh and definitely try the London Fog tea! If you’re lucky they do little flower or bird drawings with cinnamon :)
