""This was not an easy decision, and it comes only after thoughtful consideration of all available options," the message read in part. "For years, we've had the opportunity and privilege of serving you and the entire Alameda community. Your kindness and support throughout the years have meant the world to us and each of you has contributed greatly to our success over the years.""
"The East Bay bakery opened its first shop within Alameda Marketplace in August 2004 under business partners Danielle Forestier and Rick Kellner."
"Feel Good Bakery began with a limited menu that featured classic baguettes and pastries crafted with chocolate from Guittard Chocolate, alongside savory options such as pizza, according to the Oakland Tribune."
Feel Good Bakery will close its two Alameda locations on Oct. 31 after 21 years of operation. The closures affect the Alameda Marketplace shop and the outpost inside the Encinal Shopping Center. Owners posted a message saying the decision followed thoughtful consideration, and they thanked the Alameda community for its support. The specific reasons for the closure were not disclosed. The bakery opened in August 2004 under partners Danielle Forestier and Rick Kellner; Forestier studied baking in Paris and appeared on "Baking with Julia." The menu expanded from baguettes and pastries to include cakes, macarons, pies, salads and pizza. Online orders will be discontinued and preorders will be refunded.
