Vallejo is fast emerging as a hidden gem for coffee lovers in the North Bay.

 

Moschetti, founded by French-born roaster Fabrice Moschetti, anchors the city's coffee scene with premium beans sourced from around the globe.

 

Each Saturday, their roasting facility buzzes with complimentary tastings, live music, and local vendors — transforming into a cherished Vallejo tradition that draws both locals and visitors.

 

The rise of Ferms Coffee, a boutique small-batch roaster, signals growing enthusiasm for locally roasted blends.

 

The Quarters Coffee House on Mare Island has also become a community hotspot, while the downtown Moschetti Cafe delivers organic, fair-trade coffee and fresh pastries in a French-inspired setting.
