Moschetti Coffee: More Than a Cup of Coffee in Vallejo

A neighborhood gathering place where artisan coffee brings the community together.

Some businesses serve coffee. Others bring people together. In Vallejo, Moschetti Artisan Roaster has built a reputation for doing both.

Founded by coffee artisan Fabrice Moschetti, this locally owned roasting business has become a destination for coffee lovers and neighbors who appreciate a welcoming community atmosphere.

 

HOT NEWS:  Parking Lot Paved...hooray!

 

Every Saturday, Moschetti opens its doors for free community coffee tastings, offering visitors an opportunity to explore different coffees while enjoying the company of fellow Vallejo residents. Local vendors, live music, and occasional poetry events add to the experience.

 

A neighborhood improvement worth watching: The parking area has recently been the subject of community advocacy for paving and improvements. Reports that paving has been completed would make a welcome follow-up to that story.
