Local Roast
The East Bay’s coffee cup overflows with home-grown roasters.
By Julie Miller Dowling
"HEY, YOU. Yeah, you. Drop that venti half-caf toffee-nut latte, and slowly back away from the counter.
It’s time to go local.
From all-over-the-East Bay roasters like Peet’s, to neighborhood favorites like Pacific Bay , to up-and-comers like Catahoula, Diabloland java proves that Seattle isn’t the only place that can roast up a good batch of beans.
All of these locally roasted coffees can be ordered and sent to your home."

Where: Pacific Bay’s Walnut Creek café, Havana, and Blakes.
Top seller: Espresso Obsesso.
