Friday’s Coffee strives to bring Euro-community vibe to Lodi’s Bella Terra

There is a place in Lodi where you can sit beneath a shade tree with a double espresso and listen to the flow of water running in a fountain on one side and colorful sounds from Argentina, Brazil or France on the other.

This place is the Bella Terra shopping center, and the person who is trying to make it into a European-style center is coffee shop owner Sarantos Maltezos.
