So get a head-start on your Superbowl partying with a massive celebration at Paddy's!

We are coming out with a new blend of coffee in April. The blend is called Tres Felinos, which means "3 cats". It is a delicious mix of 3 prominent South American coffees, and has a smooth clean finish.

We are inviting our customers to suggest designs and logos for the new blend. Here are the rules for the contest. Submission date is 13th February, winners announced on February 20th.

We are currently displaying the winning entries on the 5th Annual Union City Photo Contest, sponsored by Union City Leisure Services and Paddy's Coffee House. Come by and admire the award winning photographs.

From all of us here at Paddy's, we wish you a very happy and prosperous New Year!

Happy New Year!

Jumoke Hill performed at Paddy's on the 9th, and he had a great time here, just like the rest of us!

Paddy's Coffee House is pleased to present its new blend of coffee. The new blend is called Twiga Blend, named after a girafee in the Oakland Zoo. Very delicious cup of coffee, blend of coffees from the countries that are on the migratory path of the girafees. Come on over to try it out.

Twiga will be here only for two weeks. Migration patterns cause one to leave and the other to arrive.

Paddy's Coffee House has always prided itself at being in the forefront in getting the community involved in social and civic issues. We are doing it once again, on October 3rd, from 2.00 pm to 5.00 pm, by hosting a Health Care Reform Forum. It is a topic that has caused a lot of controversy and roiled the nation. And we are doing our part by addressing and educating our community in this issue. We encourage all our patrons to attend and to help us spread the word about this forum

The Annual Paddy's Film Festival, is back, for the 5th year. The first screening is on Friday October 2nd, from 8.30 pm to 10.00 pm. Please see the schedule for the list. Come encourage the talented indie movie makers.

Oh, what a great day it was, one that will be stenciled and etched in our memories for ever! May 16th 2009 was Union City’s 50th Anniversary Parade and Classic Car show.

Paddy’s decided to take part in the parade, and our float Paddy’s decided to take part in the parade, and our float would not have been possible without the help of our wonderful patrons and colleagues David Thibert, Monica Takama, Rachel Aceberos, Clarice Aceberos and Nora Newell. The words Thank You is just two words, but there is a whole depth of appreciation that cannot be properly conveyed and expressed.

What a fantastic day, wonderful floats and bands, great crowd support. We at Paddy’s wish to thank all the volunteers of Union City’s 50th Organising Committee for a job well done.

In April, we hosted New Haven School Superintendent Kari McVeigh. In June we are hosting Union City Police Department Chief Greg Stewart. In July, we are planning two sessions of meet the elected officials of Union City. More information on that will be posted soon.

In association with Filipino Youth Council, we hosted a Teen Safe Sex and Sexual Disease prevention seminar. The next one we are thinking about is Teen Anger and Violence prevention. Would love to hear from the community on their thoughts.

Is their any other topic that the community feels relevant and which we ought to support ? Please let us know.

 

We were open 24 hours the month of May to enable our student brethren focus on their exams. It was a satisfying month for us and for the student community as well. It was great to see such a huge turnout!

From all of us at Paddy’s, we thank you very much for your continued patronage, and we wish our student community nothing but the best.

It has been a while since our last update. The fault is entirely ours. The chills and dampness of winter sent us into our website update black hole mode, and the first burst of spring hath harkened us forth. Quite a bit has transpired since then. We received sufficient rain but not sufficient enough for the reservoirs. New stimulus packages, corporations pushing ahead with their bonus packages, and getting castigated by all and sundry, and us in the Main Street, enjoying and revelling in the patronage and support of our dedicated friends.

To fall in line with the dictats of the nation, we too have a stimulus package for you. While the nation's capitol can call their package by various acronyms, we prefer to simply call it "Paddy's Economic Stimulus Package".

There is a lot on the plate at Paddy's. Soccer clubs/Parades/24 hours schedule/music. Where does one start ? Hyperventilation sounds so benign when it comes to imparting information to you. Read on for more information.

Here's hoping it is going to be a great year, and thank you for your continued support and patronage.

It is that time of the year.

Nope, we are not talking about spring cleaning which is another chore by itself. We are talking the rites of passage for every student, yep, Finals. To help them through this rite of passage, Paddy's Coffee House will be open 24 hours starting April 27th, all the way to end of May (as of now). If there is a pent up demand, we will extend it to middle of June.

We will be open round the clock Sunday to Thursday, with Fridays and Saturdays having our normal close hours. Hope to see the students out there, and some night owls for that matter.

As you all are aware, Union City is celebrating 50 years. There will be a parade and classic car show on May 16th to celebrate the occassion. Yup, Paddy's Coffee House is taking part in the parade. We are building a float for that. We need volunteers to help build the float, so if you are interested, give us a call. Either way, we hope that you will turn out and show your support for your favourite coffee house as well as your favourite city. For more details on the parade and other festivities, please visit the Union City 50th Anniversary website.

Testing and all got done, it is time to introduce our new sandwich. We already have the Gobbler, The Tree Hugger, Paddy's PopEye, Grilled Cheese, Egg Paddy, and now we also have Famous Jon's Chicken Sandwich. You have to try it out to see why other customers are raving about it. Kudos to our colleague Jon Sok for coming up with the combination.

Almost all of you have heard of Panini sandwiches. How many of you have heard of PaddyNiNi sandwiches? That's our new introduction to the sandwich line. We use Ciabatta rolls from a vendor at the local farmer's market along with other farmers market veggies, meat, cheeses and PaddyNini your sandiwich. You know, we would rather have you droll over the sandwich at our shop than over the keyboard reading about it. We don't want messy keyboards, now do we?

Mark your calendars! Saturday February 7th, from 5.00 pm onwards, it's Paddy's Coffee House 6th Year Anniversary Party. Come on over, we will be having food catered by local establishments, free drinks, music and great company (excluding Paddy of course)!

What a start to the year. The stock market and Mother Nature are toying with the emotions. 401k's have now become 001k's, most sections of the country are freezing and shivering, while we in California are simmering and basking in brilliant sunlight. We need the rain and they need a respite. And we need a recovery in the market.

The Anniversary Party is like all our other parties. It's an open house, free food, beverages and utmost fun. It is our way of saying, thanks for wonderful support and loyalty.Party starts at 5.00 pm and goes on till ...

There is a lot of activity on the anvil, both at the coffee house, and for Union City's 50th year.

Like the rest of the nation, we are echoing Bob Dylan and his words Times, they're changing. Here's hoping it is going to be a great year, and thank you for your continued support and patronage.

  Shrieking Paddy or Shirking Paddy?

 

 

It's the new year and a new era. But unfortunately, the dawn of the new era was rendered asunder with a horrified shriek. All because Paddy woke up to a rather horrified discovery. Shifting of muscles and fat is inversely proportional to age. Ah the nostalgic slim glories of youth.
