A Sacramento-based coffee roaster and retailer entered the Bay Area coffee scene recently with the opening of a caf\u00e9 in Livermore.<\/p>\n

As an official franchise of the award-winning Chocolate Fish Coffee Roasters, the Livermore shop \u2014 which took over a space that was previously a check cashing store within the Peppertree Plaza Shopping Center \u2014 serves brand classics such as espresso beverages, pour-overs, cold brew and teas such as chai and matcha as well as seasonal signature drinks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The caf\u00e9 also serves food items including pastries, a variety of toast and sandwiches.<\/p>\n

Franchisee Sadia Khan said the Livermore location works closely with the original Chocolate Fish team while also presenting a local vibe at the caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe focus heavily on creating an experience, not just serving coffee,\u201d Khan said of the shop. \u201cThe shop is designed to feel cozy and inviting for families, students, and professionals alike.\u201d<\/p>\n

Khan said she decided to open a coffee shop because caf\u00e9s feel like community spaces.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to create a warm, welcoming environment in Livermore that feels unique, family-friendly, and community-oriented,\u201d she told Livermore Vine in an email interview.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the caf\u00e9\u2019s soft opening May 11, Khan expressed on social media her excitement and nervousness over opening the shop.<\/p>\n

There are endless decisions, pressure to execute and the fear of no visitors, she said on social media.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut every cozy corner, every perfectly brewed cup, every community space you love\u2026started with someone who chose to begin despite the fear,\u201d she wrote. \u201cSo take the leap. Brew the dream. Your future regulars are waiting.\u201d<\/p>\n

The grand opening of Chocolate Fish at 847 E Stanley Blvd. is \u201ccoming soon,\u201d Khan told Livermore Vine.<\/p>\n
