to 2015: Celebrating more than 10 years of art on the walls of our roastery! 🎨

A decade ago, an Oakland gallery connected us with Australian muralist David MEGGS Hooke about using our building as a canvas. While we weren’t entirely sure what to expect at first, Carlo met with the artist, saw the vision, and immediately became a fan.

Over the next week and a half, we watched the “Roots Run Deep” mural come to life. Inspired by Jack London and featuring a striking wolf, it has been a defining feature of our building and a proud landmark for our corner of Oakland’s Jack London Square ever since. 

Swipe through for a behind-the-scenes look at the process, the people behind it, and how it all came together.

Small Business Highlight! ✨🎨 This week we’re featuring , an Oakland-based business proving that great signage is about more than good branding, it’s an art form!

Operated by artist Tony Frisell, Spelled Out Signs specializes in custom hand-painted signs, murals, window art, and A-frames that bring personality and craftsmanship to businesses throughout Oakland and beyond.

In a world of vinyl and mass production, hand-painted signage offers something different: a human touch. Every piece is thoughtfully crafted, bringing warmth, character, and timeless artistry to storefronts. The care & attention to detail create an inviting first impression while leaving businesses with a one-of-a-kind work of art that often becomes a beloved neighborhood fixture.

Whether you’re opening a new storefront, refreshing your windows, or dreaming up a custom mural, can help bring your vision to life.
Give Tony a follow to see their latest work, and keep them in mind for your next custom project!

California Canoe & Kayak at Jack London Square

We're still here, Oakland!

You may have heard we were planning to retire — and while that chapter is still on the horizon, we're not going anywhere just yet! We've decided to keep California Canoe & Kayak open at Jack London Square while we search for the right people to take over and continue the paddling tradition we've built together.

That means you can still count on us for everything you need on the water:

Rentals — Kayaks & stand-up paddleboards
Sales — Boats, gear & accessories
Classes — For all skill levels
Repairs — Expert service you can trust

We are so grateful for this incredible community. Your support over the years has meant everything to us, and we look forward to seeing you out on the water!
