Don’t miss the the Summer Kick-Off party at Drake’s Brewery tonight.It’s a kid friendly event, there will be food, and you can buy 3 beer pulls for $15. Entry is $20 and kids are free!
This is a big election for this city this November and could decide between bankruptcy and responsible fiscal management for our city. I believe Stephen is the only candidate in the race that has a credible strategy to address the financial difficulties our city is mired in. I am volunteering as campaign manager for him for this race. We must have leadership change.

While we’d like barista experience, more important is a desire to learn, grow, and excel. Our most successful staff members are those that take “ownership” of Zocalo, always working to ensure it’s running at it’s best. It’s not an easy or relaxing job, but it is fun and rewarding.
We have applications available at the shop and in PDF format here on the site.

Anda Chu/Daily Review
With a matching $5,000 donation challenge from Zocalo Coffeehouse, our customers showed their community spirit donating $5,275 dollars to hit our $10,000 goal donation to San Leandro’s Davis St Family Resource Center.
Thanks to all who donated and spread the word far and wide. From the $5 hearts to the $500 tree toppers, you folks pulled it over the top and made a big chuck of difference that just wouldn’t have happened without you.
Zocalo in the Daily Review!
Tim Holmes, proprietor
The Daily Review recently did a piece on Zocalo Coffeehouse reporting on the $10,000 matching fundraiser we held for The Davis Street Family Resource Center.
My favorite quote:
“My entire goal,” he said, “was to build a community space, and sell a little coffee, too.”
$600 to Go in Davis St Fundraiser
With only hours to go until the end of year deadline, there’s only $615 needed to hit our $10,000 goal!
Consider a donation to day to have Zocalo match your donation. We’re open until 6pm today and open 10am to 6pm New Year’s Day.
Fundraiser at $8K – Will It Reach 10K?
Zocalo’s Fundraiser for Davis Street Family Resource Center is booming! Thank you to all who have been so generous to date. We’ve had so many $5, $25, and $100 donations it’s amazing, and we’ve now received our third $500 Tree Topper donation!
At the moment we’re at $4000, or $8000 with matching funds from Zocalo. We’re hoping to reach $10,000 by the end of the year and only have 6 days left. That means we need only $170 a day in donations! Can you make our day?
It’s as simple as bringing cash or check (made out to “Davis St.” to Zocalo. We’ll match whatever you donate automatically and you can, if you choose, decorate and hang your own ornament! From $5 up, it all ads up… hopefully to $10,000 by the 31st!
Merry Christmas to all.
