SIGNAL Coffee Roasters is expanding with a third location. Construction is underway at 2318 Central Ave. in downtown Alameda. If all goes according to plan, they anticipate opening this fall.
SIGNAL Coffee Roasters debuted late last year on Alameda’s West End and have since been a favorite spot for small batch coffee, specialty drinks, and fresh pastries from local Bay Area bakeries. Beans are ethically sourced and roasted locally in Oakland.
“I think when we can find a great coffee that is also a great farm, community, and smallholder that is doing things right — building community, sustainable ag practice, or doing concrete social good — we’re all over it,” co-owner Brendan Doherty previously told Roast Magazine.
The success of their initial cafe’s opening on Webster Street immediately led to plans for a second outpost in downtown just several months later. “This will be a smaller, outpost-style spot, focusing on our coffee, pastries, and some fun surprises to our menu, with a newly expanded ability to service both locations, this being a real compliment to the Webster location in so many ways!” Doherty and co-owner Rebecca Brown said in an announcement.

Editor’s Note: A previous version of this article stated that the Central Avenue location will be SIGNAL Coffee Roasters’ second, which is incorrect. The article has been updated to reflect that this will be the third location, following the opening of the cafe in Berkeley.
