Tonight at 7pm, don’t miss Cynthia Omolulu’s book release party for her new young adult novel, Dirty Little Secrets, about living as a teen child of a hoarder.
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.

$10K Donated to Davis St. Non-Profit
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.”

A Call for Healthy Foods
For some time now I’ve wanted to carry more vegan, gluten-free, etc. (if I may “etc.” whole categories of food like that), but can’t find sources…
We have some items that we have found or have come our way, but, for instance, our granola supplier, Hidden City Cafe, has dropped off the face of the earth (by phone anyway) and I have nothing to replace them.
I’d love to know if there are any warehouse/supply type stores in the east bay and what items and companies are worthy of attention.

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.
