Pleasanton Coffee Shop ~ Vintage Hills Shopping Center, Pleasanton

Pleasanton Coffee Shop ~ Vintage Hills Shopping Center,  Pleasanton is by far one of my favorite things; morning coffee!  Located at 3550 Bernal Ave., #140, Pleasanton CA 94566 ~  925-931-1002

I live near the Vintage Hills Shopping Center, Pleasanton in Shadow Cliff Homes and for far too many years, the center has been nearly desolate with few businesses surviving the seemingly abandoned center. About 3-years ago the center began to come to life!

Recently a Pleasanton Coffee Shop, Coffee Ali opened and much to my surprise, I already knew the owner of the shop! Owner of Pleasanton Coffee Shop, Coffee Ali, Ali Frey previously worked for several years at a well known coffee franchise near my downtown Pleasanton office. I often stopped by and over time had come to know Ali by name. She has a warm and inviting personality and always made me feel welcome in the shop where she previously worked.

After years of working there, Ali dreamed of opening a family friendly coffee shop of her own. While listening to a song at church, the words resonated with her and her tagline, “Sweeter Than Yesterday” became her life and business montra.

    Shadow Cliff Homes Pleasanton Update

    As both a Pleasanton Realtor and resident of Shadow Cliff homes, here is an update of what is happining in my neighborhood. At this same time period last year, January – April we did not have even one sold property! In my opinion, 2009 was a very good year considering 2008! This update shows that the market has most definitely improved.

    Shadow Cliff continues to be a great place to live. If you’d like further details about this report, please don’t hesitate to ask.
