(More)About this blog: I am a perpetually hungry twenty-something journalist, born and raised in Menlo Park and currently working at the Palo Alto Weekly as education and youth staff writer. I graduated from USC with a major in Spanish and a minor in journalism. Though my first love is journalism, food is a close second. I am constantly on the lookout for new restaurants to try, building an ever-expanding "to eat" list. As a journalist, I'm always trolling news sources and social media websites with an eye for local food news, from restaurant openings and closings to emerging food trends. When I was a teenager growing up in Menlo Park, I always drove up to the city on weekends with the singular purpose of finding a better meal than I could at home. But in the past year or so, the Peninsula's food culture has been totally transformed, with many new restaurants opening and a continuous stream of San Francisco restaurants coming south to open Peninsula outposts. Don't navigate this food boom hungry and alone! Feed me your tips on new chefs and eats and together we'll share them with the broader community.

New bakery opens in downtown Mountain View
Uploaded: Jun 12, 2018
Treats on Castro, the
second outpost of a family-owned San Jose bakery, is now open in downtown Mountain View.
The family that owns C'est Si Bon in San Jose opened the bakery at 282 Castro St. on June 1.
The bakery specializes in custom cakes and Persian pastries but also serves cupcakes, pies, jam and other desserts. Treats on Castro also sells products from local vendors, including chocolate bars, cookies, vegan desserts and ice cream.

The new location is more grab-and-go than the San Jose bakery. People can also order and pick up custom cakes in Mountain View. There are also supplies for making and decorating cakes for sale.
Treats on Castro is open Tuesday-Thursday, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Friday-Saturday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.; and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
