Blue dot cafe and coffee bar was founded by James and Megan Hume to bring high quality food and beverages to the neighborhood. We are committed to great service. We want everyone, of all ages, to feel comfortable at our place. We want blue dot to be your gathering place. Meet friends for coffee, breakfast or lunch, pop in for a quick latte to go, bring the little ones for a chocolate bubble bar or enjoy a solitary moment with a housemade scone. Come and unwind, think, chat or just hang out in our comfortable space.

Caroline Arnold’s Animals Jan 14 – Feb 29, 2012. Brightly colored giclee prints of cut-paper illustrations in author/illustrator Caroline Arnold’s children’s books depict pandas, penguins, koalas, platypuses and more. In each print, the shadows and layers of the paper are visible, revealing the tactile character of the art. These limited edition prints are ideal for a child’s room or for anyone who loves animals.

James and Megan Hume met in San Francisco in the summer of 1994. Where else would a guy from Adelaide, Australia, and a girl from Wichita, Kansas, meet and begin a life, family and now a business together? After many years of working in the coffee and food industry, we believe we have found the perfect place in Alameda to share our passion for coffee and food with the community.

We love good food. We love good coffee. We love experiencing them in welcoming, comfortable spaces. We hope you’ll love what we’ve created to bring you these three things together.

We proudly serve Oakland based Mr Espresso coffee.

Mr Espresso has grown into a Bay Area institution – as a quality roaster and an established provider of espresso equipment, service, and training to a sizable share of coffeehouses and restaurants in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond.

Mr. Espresso continues to be family-owned and operated with two generations of Di Ruoccos working together in the Oakland showroom and roasting facility to ensure that what we began over 30 years ago will endure.
