The little shop will be open during these times for the remainder of the year:

The following information was copied from the City News Release:

ARROYO GRANDE, CA - On October 19, 2024, officers from the Arroyo Grande Police Department and community members will come together in an informal, neutral space to discuss community issues, build relationships, and drink coffee. All community members are invited to attend.
The event begins at 8:00 am and ends at 11:00 am on October 19, 2024, at Nova Coffee 1156 E. Grand Ave. in Arroyo Grande. Please contact Sergeant Castillo with questions: 805-473-5127, [email protected]
Coffee with a Cop provides a unique opportunity for community members to ask questions and learn more about the department’s work in our neighborhoods.
The majority of contacts law enforcement has with the public happen during emergencies, or emotional situations. Those situations are not always the most effective times for relationship building with the community, and some community members may feel that officers are unapproachable on the street. Coffee with a Cop breaks down barriers and allows for a relaxed, one-on-one interaction.
“We hope that all community members will feel comfortable to ask questions, bring concerns, or simply get to know our officers,” said Police Chief Michael Martinez. “These interactions are the foundation of community partnerships.”
Coffee with a Cop is a national initiative supported by The United States Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services. Similar events are being held across the county, as local police departments strive to make lasting connections with the communities they serve. The program aims to advance the practice of community policing through improving relationships between police officers and community members one cup of coffee at a time.

Last night was the AG Candidate forum. You can view the recording on our YouTube page (see link in bio).

Only a few candidates attended, therefore the forum was between the two mayoral candidates.

Jamie Maraviglia, who is running for District 3, attended, yet only gave an opening statement because the woman she’s running against, Marlea Harmon, did not attend.

Aileen Loe, who is running unopposed in District 2, was going to show and give introductions but had a family obligation.
