Sweet Pea opening in Sonoma: Churro and pretzel croissants…what? Napa-based Sweet Pea Bakeshop is expanding to Sonoma, anticipating a Dec. 1 opening with mini churro croissants for the first 50 customers.
Imagine the lush butteriness of a croissant crusted with cinnamon sugar and chocolate drizzle. And that’s just the start. They’ve also got plenty of other sweet goodies like seasonal scones, sticky buns, English muffins, blondies, cakes, French macarons, caneles, hand pies, fresh bread, and cakes. New mamas take note: There’s even “lactation cookies” with nutrients like flax and brewer’s yeast. Look for them at 720 E. Napa St., Sonoma, sweetpeanapa.com.
Frenchie has opened on the square, featuring pick-up and picnic provisions for the tasteful. Weekly dinner menus include dishes like carnitas tostadas, lemon-roasted salmon, beef curry with jasmine rice that are ready to heat and serve. They’ll also have soups, sandwiches, wine and beer to go, tasty condiments and local cheeses. We love the idea of stopping by for a quick hostess gift as well. 521 Broadway, Sonoma, 707-343-7559, frenchiesonoma.com.
