Indie Biz of the Week

Indie Biz of the Week
Local 123 is a new cafe that opened up down a little ways from Blankspace on San Pablo. I just checked it out for the first time on Tuesday. I can only comment on the coffee, well because, that is all I've had so far...but the coffee was very good.


The decor is clean and simple, and there is a great patio in the back...big bonus in the East Bay, so many cafes have either no outdoor space, or the space is very dark and dirty (yuck)..this is very
appealing and thus far, clean.


Local 123
will also be hosting art exhibitions curated by Emma Spertus. The first show opens tonight!

Gabrielle Wolodarski and Jeff Stratford
June 17 - August 5
Opening reception: Thursday, June 25, 6-8pm

Emma has good taste so I expect that she will be producing some quality exhibits in the space.
