		<div class="grey" id="about_full" style="padding:0px; display:none;">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.  <a id="show_info" class="grey" href="javascript:toggle('show_info', ' &nbsp;(Hide)', ' &nbsp;(More)', 'about_limited', 'about_full');"> &nbsp;(Hide)</a></div>

	The last day of 2018 will be Palo Alto Baking Co.'s final day of business at 381 S. California Ave., according to a note posted on the bakery's front door.<br />
<br />
&quot;It is with great regret that we inform you Palo Alto Baking Company will be closing indefinitely come the new year,&quot; the note reads. <br />
<br />
<img class="blog_image" src="/blogs/photos/12/2581.jpg" /><br />
<span style="font-style:italic;">Palo Alto Baking Co. will close on Dec. 31. Photo by Elena Kadvany.</span><br />
<br />
The bakery has operated for 12 years on California Avenue, selling pastries, desserts, bread, sandwiches and soups. <br />
<br />

				Perhaps there was a change of ownership twelve years ago, but I know I was buying  a Princess and Black Forest along with other seasonal treats from the Palo Alto Baking Company at least since the 1990's.  				</p>

				Really too bad.  This was our default place to get some bread for toast in the morning :( <br />
Cal Ave needs a bakery, and an ice cream shop, and a good noodle place.  And more places to take kids to that is nto silly smoothies in a bowl :(				</p>

				The council needs to pass an emergency ordinance dictating what kind of store can fill this location. Property rights and the free market have no place in palo alto. Once we get a mom and pop store to invest their life savings into the location, we will make sure that the planning department and the inspectors delay the opening for as long as possible ( like with the gourmet hot dog space) [Portion removed.]				</p>

				There should be a lawâ€" while I am sure your comment above is sarcastic, there is a perfect example of this going on around the corner.<br />
Remember the college terrace market? It was supposed to re-open on November ( after much handwringing by residents and the city, which was fining the owner). Apparently the application for signage and minor improvements was “deemed incomplete" by the city and is under review !!!!<br />
Typical nonsense from Palo Alto. Does anyone wonder why businesses want to steer clear of Palo alto				</p>

				My dad worked at a bakery in this location as a kid... in the 1930's? It was called Harlan's Bakery when I was growing up, so I was delighted to see it still functioning as a bakery all these years. Palo Alto is quickly losing its sense of history so when a story about a closure is written, please do a little homework when there's some history to be told. Doesn't help the cause toward the next best thing, but perhaps gives pause and reason to reflect. Thanks to Palo Alto Baking Company! We will miss you!				</p>

				This is truly saddening for Cal Ave. community. I really loved getting Danish pastries there and eating them at the park nearby. Their raspberry chocolate mousse was a real treat after a long and hard working day.<br />

				Good riddance! I worked at this place more than 2 decades ago. The entire paradigm of hapless employees toiling away for unlivable minimum wage while the customers can sit on a table and indulge themselves in sugary pastries is just falling apart.<br />
Who needs to drive to Cal Ave. for apple turnovers when you can get them faster and fresher using Amazon Prime. Welding and detailing cars is in higher demand. Why should anyone waste time on cake frosting. I'm sorry that certain old farts have lost a special place to enjoy Kona coffee with a sugar brioche.				</p>

				Palo Alto Weekly says this place has been in business 12 years.<br />
@Johnny says he worked there more than 20 years ago.<br />
<br />
Does everyone see the disconnect? Obviously not Johnny, since he then proceeds to whine about something that's obviously not connected.				</p>

				My parents frequented Harlan's Bakery before it sold to Palo Alto Baking Co.  They were loyal customers and became friendly with Mrs. Harlan who, as I recall, was a very nice and friendly person. She would often give my little children a cookie when I would accompany my mom.  This was in the mid-late 1960's!!!  Sad that Palo Alto Baking Co. will be gone, wonder if it has to do with having the rent raised, or, maybe the owners are retiring.  A bakery is a labor intensive business perhaps they are just worn out!  Lovely if another bakery would take over, every neighborhood needs a good bakery????				</p>

				you cant find cherry turnovers anywhere like they had.they had the right recipe that's like decades ago style. cant find those everywhere. everybody's  hung up on boring Scones. dry Christian suffering mode of current culture? sconjes.. give me a frosted carrot cake. or a baklava. but Scones? you really like just those all the time. the fear of ''too much fat inthat!''.that fire smoke did more damage than a million donuts. youre still sick from fire smoke chemicals but not sick of cookies. so brush fires are more dangerous than cream puffs.				</p>

				&gt; My dad worked at a bakery in this location as a kid... in the 1930's? It was called Harlan's Bakery when I was growing up...<br />
<br />
&gt;&gt; My parents frequented Harlan's Bakery before it sold to Palo Alto Baking Co. They were loyal customers and became friendly with Mrs. Harlan who, as I recall, was a very nice and friendly person. She would often give my little children a cookie when I would accompany my mom. This was in the mid-late 1960's!!!<br />
<br />
I grew up in Evergreen during the 1950s-60s and fondly remember Harlan's Bakery.<br />
My mother used to buy bread there and they would slice it with a machine. Yes, and a cookie for the kids.<br />
<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;Good riddance! I worked at this place more than 2 decades ago. The entire paradigm of hapless employees toiling away for unlivable minimum wage while the customers can sit on a table and indulge themselves in sugary pastries is just falling apart.<br />
<br />
Agreed. Years later, I recall the cake turnstile at PA Baking Co. and the nouveau-Palo Altans indulging in their sugar fix. The employees were like zombies and the PA Baking Co. was an entirely different world than Harlan's.<br />

				Oh no! I am so sad Palo Alto Baking Co is gone. Their mango mousse was amazing - I was talking them up with some of my colleagues just a few weeks ago, and now I can never get them. <br />
<br />
I hope they can somehow reopen given that the bakery part of it seems to still be operating. I liked going there because it was cozy and warm all the time, and smelled like heaven.				</p>

				What a shame.  I had bought their cakes and breads to give to my customers for the past 10 years.  It is silly how the whole profile of California Ave is changing, and not for the better.				</p>

				So sad to see the closure...I loved their Russian Teacakes and Danish. Great bread and dinner rolls. Some changes are harder to accept... Such a friendly atmosphere.				</p>
