Crossroads Kitchen To Replace Corner Bakery In Calabasas

CALABASAS, CA — After 26 years at The Commons at Calabasas, Corner Bakery shut its doors to make way for a new restaurant, Crossroads Kitchen.

Mayor Mary Sue Maurer announced the Corner Bakery closure in her April 1 letter to the Calabasas community. Photos on social media show Crossroads Kitchen has already started moving in, as its logo is on the front doors.

Crossroads Kitchen, which offers a fully vegan Mediterranean menu, has one existing location in West Hollywood. The restaurant is expected to open in fall 2022 based on signs posted at the location.

Calabasas and Hidden Hills residents have long been hoping for a Crossroads Kitchen location, Crossroads Kitchen owner Tal Ronnen told Eater Los Angeles.

“It can be a good 45 minutes to an hour to drive to Melrose,” Ronnen told Eater. “They’re happy to do it once in a while, but not every week.”

Hundreds of Calabasas community members have taken to social media to discuss the switch, noting how different the two restaurants are. While some said it was time for a change, other lamented the loss of their favorite sandwiches.
