Livermore has a new outlet for individuals with a sweet tooth \u2014 or at least, half a sweet tooth: Primrose Bakery, a bakeshop that specializes in European-style cakes and pastries.<\/p>

Primrose soft-opened on Aug. 4 at 154 S. J St., with a grand opening on a yet-to-be-announced date. The business is run by married couple Jesse and Jessica Eiland, who also operate the original location in downtown Pleasanton.<\/p>\n

\u201cPrimrose Bakery is primarily a dessert bakery with a European influence,\u201d Jesse Eiland says. \u201cExpect our desserts to be more subtle and less sweet than traditional American cakes and pastries. We are known for wedding cakes and elevated desserts for special occasions.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Jesse<\/figure>\n<\/p>\n

Primrose is a preferred vendor for more than 20 country clubs, golf courses and wineries in the Tri-Valley area, he adds.<\/p>\n

Jessica Eiland is a classically trained pastry chef who \u201cuses as many hundred-year-old secrets as she does cutting edge techniques to create something traditional yet modern and exciting,\u201d according to the shop\u2019s website. She has won first-place baking awards from several local news outlets and also took Best in Show for professional cake decorating at the Alameda County Fair.<\/p>\n

Aside from desserts, the bakeshop caters to the morning crowd with sweet pastries like fruit Danishes, bear claws and cinnamon rolls. Savory pastries include bacon-egg croissants, spanakopita turnovers and vols-au-vent, which are like birds\u2019 nests of puff pastry stuffed with hearty fillings.<\/p>

\u201cWe are thrilled to have opened our new store in Livermore, our hometown,\u201d Jesse Eiland says.<\/p>

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThe official grand-opening date is yet to be announced, but we will invite the whole town to party with us when it happens. Our shops are family-friendly with something for everyone \u2014 even homemade doggy treats!\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s possible Primrose could be riding a coming wave of dessert providers to Livermore. Meadowlark Dairy, whose original shop is also in Pleasanton, recently opened up a new location in the city, too, serving its famous soft-serve ice cream.<\/p>\n
