That exclamation point is not to make the post more emphatic, rather that will be part of the Baking Company’s new name that replaced the previous tenant Walnut Creek Baking Company in downtown Walnut Creek.
I just had to stop by to see what was being offered, and I saw many of the exact same bakery items that I used to get at the WCBC. An employee mentioned they planned on renaming it Bake!, although it’s not been decided for sure. I did find it odd that they were reusing the Walnut Creek Baking Company’s leftover bags etc for purchases. Not to mention the award winning Diablo sign is still up on the window. If you didn’t inquire as to whether it’s a different bakery you might just assume it’s still the Walnut Creek Baking Company, especially considering the same recipes are being used. If you have been familiar with the Walnut Creek Baking Company’s pastries you can tell the difference which reminds me of a quote Lloyd Bentsen made during the vice-presidential debate against Dan Quayle in 1988.
