On May 14, Extra Coffee Roasting held a ribbon cutting in the industrial area in south Fremont near Sharks’s Ice, mostly containing vehicle repair shops.
The organization has no fewer than five partners, Mexican American entrepreneurs who already own a handful of taquerias and food trucks scattered across Fremont, Pleasanton, Walnut Creek and Martinez. Now they’re doing coffee.
Partner Sam Velazco has been working in coffee roasting in San Francisco for 20 years.
Extra Coffee boasts a hot air roasting method that makes the flavor less smoky. They introduced their coffee at the May 9 Fremont Street Eats, and intended clients are offices, hotels and cafes. Coffee can be purchased on the website (with a wholesale option), or at one of the four Taqueria Extra locations.
