In the heart of downtown Orangevale and the charming Fair Oaks Village lies a staple of community and craft: Badfish Coffee & Tea. This family-owned venue stands as a testament to Mark and Pearl Eister’s dedication to quality and community. With a love for coffee, tea, and heartfelt connections, Badfish isn’t just a place to grab your morning brew—it’s a destination where each cup of coffee and tea is a bridge to stronger community ties. The Eisters, with their passionate team, have cultivated more than a coffee shop; they’ve nurtured a space where locals gather not just for the exceptional fare and coffee but for the warmth of being among friends.
Badfish Coffee & Tea’s story began with a simple, yet profound desire: to contribute meaningfully to the community. Mark and Pearl envisioned a café that extended beyond the realm of mere transactions, aiming to become a hub of genuine interaction and local support. This vision reflects in their direct involvement in neighborhood activities and their steadfast commitment to sourcing locally. From the coffee beans to the homemade pastries, every item served is a celebration of local produce and the community’s culture. By forming lasting relationships with their customers and participating in local events, Badfish goes beyond fostering a sense of belonging; it plays an integral role in the community’s growth, one cup at a time.
