Park & Shop, Concord
Bonjour Bakery & Cafe, which opened a few years ago in the Park & Shop shopping center in Concord and served Japanese/Korean-style baked goods, has closed. A sign in the windows points to a new bakery opening called Casa del Affajor. According to this Wikipedia article:
An alfajor is a traditional confection found in Uruguay, Chile, Argentina, El Salvador, Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, Spain, Paraguay, Venezuela, Southern Brazil, and the Philippines. The archetypal alfajor entered Iberia during the period of al-Andalus. It is produced in the form of a small cylinder and is sold either individually or in boxes containing several pieces.
