Hollister, California is a real town that has been around since the 1870s. Unlike the fictional town created by a corporate clothing company, Hollister is no where near a beach. The town is about 45 miles east of the Pacific Ocean. Seagulls occasionally make their way over the mountains. Hopefully, they are able to find their way back.

N as in New Place to Eat Locally
Two days. In a row, too.
That's how many times I've gone to the newly-opened Heavenly Bakery on the corner of Sixth and San Benito Streets. How long has this new bakery been open? Uhm, last Thursday was its first day, I believe.
They have very nourishing foods for the soul. The apricot danish. Yum. The pecan tart. Droool. The Franchesi bread. Just heavenly!
It's so nice to see Heavenly Bakery and other new businesses opening in downtown Hollister. Now, we gotta do our part and help them keep their doors open.

Oh yes that window display would pull me in. Irresistible.
ReplyDeleteBeen trough Hollister many times when we live in the valley...next time I'm there...I will surely visit that Bakery.
ReplyDeleteGrace and Bradley, good to know. :-)
ReplyDeletemagiceye, I pedaled my bicycle extra hard yesterday to deserve the next treat.:-)
Rajesh, yes the pastries are mouth watering.
Roger, you said it! I just heard they might have chocolate croissants. oh-oh.
chubskulit, :-)
Red, so, did you make a stop yesterday? What do ya think?
Jane, I hope there are a lot of not-rude people who will step in, too!
Leslie, fortunately the husband has better willpower than me. :-)
Joy, isn't that puppy something else?
Wanda, great to hear! The more, the merrier. :-)
I think I could nibble and nosh my way through that shop on a daily basis. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteTumblewords, my pants already feel tighter from just 2 days in a row. Just means lots of bike riding to deserve walking into the bakery.
ReplyDeleteThey would get my business....how tempting!
ReplyDeleteI am searching for something tasty like that in Colorado. Too many health nuts here. ( which is okay sometimes...but I crave a good dessert now and then.)
I finally went last Friday.
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was...'wow, a bit pricey'.
My second, third and fourth thoughts (after getting some eclairs and a chocolate flan) was "More, please!"
I'm still thinking about 6,7 and 8th thoughts, because my diet just can't handle this much goodness:)
So, two yums up:)
Red, just as well that the yummies are pricy. It'll keep us from going there everyday. :-)
