The Last Drop Café is located on the trendy Harvard Avenue in the Historic District section of Claremont. It is a small New York City-style coffee shop, offering soups, salads and sandwiches in addition to the coffee drinks.
It prepares the usual coffee house drinks as well as fruit juices, tea and soft drinks. It also offers catering events for which it will bring large platters of almost anything from the menu. There are a few tables inside the small space, but most enjoy sitting at the tables that are set-up outside on the sidewalk. Others simply get orders to go. It's close to all of the colleges and dorms, making it popular with local students and professionals who work in the area.
This specialty food and grocery chain sells an eclectic mix of everyday staples like milk and bread, along with a selection of more exotic, hard-to-find items. Trader Joe's offers many foods under its own brand name and negotiates special deals with suppliers, resulting in low prices. The large Livermore store opened in March, 2007. A mural painted across the walls depicts the Livermore landscape, and the registers are named after local streets. It's all part of an effort by Trader Joe's to make each store feel like "Your neighborhood grocery store."
