Italian Bakery Opening In Old Baking Company Building
54 Mint Forno will reportedly open next month on Locust Street
A San Francisco-based company will reportedly open an Italian bakery in the old Walnut Creek Baking Company building.
A sign on the facility at 1686 Locust St. near the Lesher Center for the Arts announces that 54 Mint Forno will open soon.
A posting last month on craiglist announcing job openings said the restaurant would open in mid-February, according to a story on beyondthecreek.com.
The new restaurant is owned by 54 Mint, a company that has bakeries in Mint Plaza in San Francisco and on Oak Grove Road in Concord.
The bakery features breads, pizzas, focaccia and other simple Italian pastries.
The Walnut Creek Baking Company closed in August 2012 after a disagreement with the landlord.
