Katrina Rozelle Pastries & Desserts Closing

We are sad to say goodbye to another establishment in the area. Make sure to go grab a delicious pastry before 2/1/2020!

Katrina Rozelle Pastries & Desserts sent out this note today;

“2020 has arrived, and with it comes change.
After 33 years in business, Katrina is retiring. Though a bittersweet decision, it’s time to step back and slow down. She has closed her Oakland store, effective December 31st, and her Alamo location will close on February 1, 2020.
Katrina, and her husband, Ken, are deeply grateful for all of the community support that has made Katrina Rozelle Pastries and Desserts a destination for discriminating dessert lovers for over 3 decades. They are also immensely thankful to the loyal and hardworking employees who have so tirelessly contributed to the success of the business over the years.
Since 1987, Katrina and her crew have sweetened Bay Area celebrations to the tune of thousands of wedding cakes, from simple and grand; tens of thousands of birthday and party cakes of every conceivable size and shape; and literally millions of deliciously addictive cookies, not to mention her wonderful holiday products.
Katrina knows that there will be pangs of withdrawal as the ready supply of these items disappears; she will miss them, too. She might even have to start baking at home!
There’s no easy way to say goodbye, but Katrina and crew would love to see you before the doors close. Stop by the Alamo store and help us bid farewell to a one of a kind Bay Area institution.”

DVHS Soccer Team Coach Arrested on Suspicion of Rape

SAN RAMON — Police said they were asking for possible additional victims to step forward after a youth soccer club director was arrested on suspicion of rape and subsequently fired.

San Ramon police said Tuesday that Luke Enna, the now-former director of the San Ramon FC youth soccer club, had been arrested Oct. 30, just days after the alleged assault was reported to them.

The police statement said officers had responded to a report by an 18-year-old woman, who had been housesitting on Oct. 26 for Enna, her former coach. He returned home on the early morning of the 27th, and committed multiple sexual acts against the girl without her consent, investigators said.

Police said an investigation into the case continues, and anyone with information about the incident or other suspicious activity involving Enna should call San Ramon police at 925-973-2779.
