Zocalo
will be open on New Years’ Day 10am – 6pm.
Come nurse your hangover, taunt the hungover, or just fall into a morning-after mocha.
Zocalo Coffeehouse is an independent, locally-owned coffeehouse and roastery, located in San Leandro, California. The name, a Mexican-Spanish word meaning "town square" or "town center," was chosen to reflect the goal of community building, focusing not only on the product, but on the place itself. It's not just about coffee or tea, its about the community.

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.

Thanks to the Daily Review and reporter Jason Sweeney for doing a story on the Davis Street Fundraiser we’re doing. It’s a great story and was front and center in Wednesday’s local section!
San Leandro coffeehouse a fundraising hotspot
“Until Jan. 1, customers can purchase ornaments for the shop’s 9-foot Christmas tree with proceeds going to Davis Street. Holmes is matching the donations until the combined total reaches $10,000.”
Open Christmas Day! 10am – 2pm

Decorate for Davis St. – A Fundraiser
We’re having a fundraiser!
Decorate the Zocalo tree by donating ornaments and all the money goes to San Leandro’s own Davis Street Family Resource Center!
Davis Street has helped tens of thousands of families in their nearly 40 years serving us. This past year the demand for their services was up five fold.
Ornaments range from $5 hearts to the $500 for the tree topper! Zocalo will match all donations up to a total of $5000 for a total of $10,000 to Davis St. combined.
Come down to Zocalo starting Tuesday and buy one for your family! A donation to Davis Street is the perfect gift to your community.

High Speed Broadband now at Zocalo
We’ve upgraded our internet access! It’s been apparent, lately, that the speed of the network at Zocalo weren’t keeping up with usage. Over the past 6 plus years we’ve been open the amount of data flowing over these tubes has gone up many-fold (gotta love those accurate stats).
I’m happy to say we now sport speeds up to 15Mbps down and 5-6Mbps up. Tested it myself! (It DOES make a difference how close to the rear of the shop you sit. Further updates in the future should remedy that. Enjoy!
