Plant-based Microbakery in OMV

Posted on August 24, 2024 by OMVNA

by Stephanie Lin
A new plant-based microbakery making small batches of artisanal baked goods based out of Old Mountain View has been delighting the local community with its delicious treats. For the last decade, the owner was working a corporate desk job while nurturing her love of baking, a side hobby. Making pastries was a peaceful way to express creativity and bring little bits of happiness to friends and family.

Last summer she decided to fulfill her dream to pursue baking full-timeand opened up The Compassionate Crum out of her home kitchen. Her plant-based treats are all handmade in small batches with organic sugars and artisanal flours. The bakery recently held successful popup events at Avas and 1 Oz Coffee. Her regular menu features sticky buns, apple crumbles, chocolate chip cookies, kouign-amann, and ube biscotti, but she also bakes special items on holidays like the themed cookie decorating kits on Earth Day. World Chocolate Day featured a variety of pastries filled with chocolate.

If you subscribe to the mailing list on the website, you can learn about upcoming events and special bakery items.

Restaurant Scene: August 2024

After decades at 790 Castro, Amici’s “East Coast” Pizzeria moved in June to San Antonio Road, where it still delivers to our neighborhood (I tested it out, using the “Half-Baked” pizza option, which you finish at home so they’re then oven-fresh). Many people characterize Amici’s as pricey but good; true also in 2010 when I surveyed all MV pizzerias in this Newsletter. Amici’s online order page shows special deals: https://order.amicis.com/

The City installed play areas and seating in flex-zones (formerly parking) along Castro Street’s pedestrian-only section. Near Ava’s Market currently (340 Castro): pingpong and miniature golf.

Sulbing Cafe is pending at 975 W. Dana (best known as the former Yakko Sushi site). Cafe Terrace closed there this Spring, after a year. Sulbing’s owner also operates a Korean-themed dessert café in Santa Clara. This may be connected to the large Sulbing shaved-ice chain based in Korea. It may or may not be open yet when this newsletter appears, but as of late July, Nick the Greek, 298 Castro at Dana, is getting close, with shining new facilities visible through the now clear windows. Workers I asked had no date estimate. This location of the popular chain was originally “coming soon” just before the Pandemic; went dormant for a few years; and came alive with remodeling activity this year.
