The gourmet cupcake shop will celebrate a soft opening this weekend.

DANVILLE, CA — A gourmet cupcake shop will soon be open in Danville. Smallcakes: Cupcakery & Creamery will celebrate their soft opening on May 5th at 10 a.m. They will host a grand opening event in June.

The bakery specializes in not only cupcakes but also creates cupcake infused ice creams, which they make daily. They employ 12 people and they will be open seven days a week. Smallcakes: Cupcakery & Creamery will be located at 95 Railroad Ave. next to Trader Joe’s in Danville.

A new ingredient-driven casual American restaurant recently opened in downtown Pleasanton. Salt Craft Eatery initially suffered a few small setbacks following their grand opening but has since reopened, according to its Facebook page. The restaurant is owned by Texas native Matt Greco, the former Executive Chef at The Restaurant at Wente Vineyards in Livermore, and features many ingredients raised or grown in the Tri-Valley area.
