Danville Hotel, Danville
Last year we learned that Sonoma-based Basque Boulangerie Cafe would be opening a new location in the historic Danville Hotel on Hartz Ave. and they have now opened. According to an employee the baked goods are delivered from their Sonoma location every morning. I tried the blueberry cake and it was delicious. The inside looks great and is very comfy to hang out while enjoying the food. Check out their pastry menu here and their website with their other menus here.

Someone stopped by my building taking photos of the pool, said they were an insurance inspector but my landlord says it’s not possible. Handed me a plastic encased card that had a printout in it saying something about es inspections. Was driving a black sedan, maybe toyota. Super clean cut with a bright white shirt on.
Could this be some kind of scam or is it legit?
