“We are committed to nurturing community while serving the best coffee,” their team told us, “[we] offer drinks and snacks and hosting a specialty bookstore, we hope to provide a warm and inclusive atmosphere for friends and neighbors to gather. We believe in non-hierarchical work spaces, quality coffee, and community building.” BOOM. Right on time because Oakland itself is seeing new movement with raising voices for people of color.

Founded by three co-founders, Kari, Loren, & Matt—they’re excited to offer a family-friendly spot open in East Oakland. The three have incredible ties to the neighborhood (by opening up other stores, living in the area, or being apart of a larger artist web), so it’s exciting to see another humble business rise.

Hasta Muerte will have a selection of books, zines, and merchandise “highlighting the spirit and social fabric that makes Oaktown so radiant,” according to its Kickstarter page. “As a collective project, our shop will be owned and run by the workers who make collective decisions, and maintain a non hierarchical kinda work space,” they told us, “this model ensures that the workers who own and run the space receive 100% of the profits and our vision stays true.”
