Two New Outlets with Coffee and Treats Coming to Solano Avenue?

Two new spots selling coffee and treats – one offering pastries and the other crepes – could be coming to Solano Avenue near the BART tracks, reports Albany Patch.

Two applications received approval from the Albany Planning & Zoning Commission Tuesday night.

Trailer from Local 123

One permit is for an Airstream trailer to be operated by Berkeley's Local 123 coffeehouse and parked at  between Ramona and Pomona avenues. It would sell coffee and locally made pastries, with the possible addition of other items at a later date. The home base of Local 123 is at 2049 San Pablo Ave., between University and Addison avenues in Berkeley.

It still needs approval of the Alameda County Environmental Health Department. Limited seating would be available, and all items would be sold to go. Proposed hours are 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. weekdays, and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekends.

Suzette Crepe & Coffee

Also winning approval was a take-out cafe selling crepes and coffee, Suzette Crepe & Coffee, to be located at 1226 Solano, former home of a yoga studio, between Talbot and Evelyn avenues. 

Owners said they plan to be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. seven days a week.
