We know you’re on the run, desperately trying to beat the morning rush hour over the bridge. And we know you need a good jolt of caffeine to pull it off. So we’ve got just the answer: the drive-thru cafe. Caffino runs a host of outlets throughout the East Bay and Northern California, and the notion is simple. You drive up into the line of cars, an employee races to your side and takes your order, and 45 seconds later the cashier hands over your cappuccino, mocha, or bear claw. That’s all it takes, and then you’re back on the road. Sure, a cafe that caters to motorists on the run doesn’t exactly sound European, but try telling that to anyone with an 8:30 power meeting at Market and Montgomery. Other locations in Concord, Fremont, Hayward, Oakley, and Pleasanton.
