Vallejo's Secret Coffee Spot

Moschetti's  Artisan Coffee

During the regular work week, no one would notice the little blue building on the way to the Vallejo Ferry. It just happened one day, as I looking for a cute little coffee shop to meet a business owner that I was searching through Yelp and read it's reviews.  I picked up my son from school that day, and told him I wanted to check out a coffee shop.
The first time around, it is easy to miss.   The signs don't grab a person's attention.  The building sits next to a railroad track.  If I had not driven around a couple of times, I would have assumed that I got the wrong address, it looks like an apartment.
Upon entering the building however, it is easy to distinguish that this were an artisan roaster dwells.  Like many artists, it's all about the outcome. Who really cares the driveway is not paved, on a weekday pretty much no one is there.  Except for a small kitchen with pot of coffee tasting,  the deception is that the guys making the coffee are also the ones who will sell you the coffee. It's not a coffee shop.   There is a pitcher for tasting their coffee in a small kitchen like room.  It's not the place to meet a business owner.

There is free coffee tasting on Saturdays.  Unlike the weekdays, there is an entirely different scene.  Vendors line the entrance, free coffee tasting is in the back room.  What's unique about this place?  The coffee is made in "Vallejo".

Celebrating the Salvation Army Kroc Center

Gone are the days when we could buy a life membership at a gym and call it a day.  Last October, I was torn between leaving my neighborhood gym and finding a new place. I had been a member for several years at the gym, and was paying top dollar.  My personal experience, had been that the teachers were overall great, but the turnover was high.  The exercise machines were 75-80% operational,   and the atmosphere was mature.  My quest at the end of  my membership was to save money but still be able to exercise. The journey led me to the Salvation Army Kroc Center.  The center was a generous gift from the late Joan Kroc.  Joan Kroc was the wife of  the late Ray Kroc the creator of the McDonald's chain.  She recognized the need of a safe gathering place, a place with facilities and trained professionals to nurture children’s social skills, arts appreciation and athletic potential. Mrs. Kroc The Salvation Army with $90 million ...
