According to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.buylocalcampaign.com\/maritasSweetPotatoPie\/\">their website<\/a>, they still have a location in Richmond&#8217;s Hilltop Mall.  This happened just months after they expanded into the old <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marga.org\/food\/rest\/cornerstone.html\">Cornerstone Cafe<\/a> location in the corner.  While I wasn&#8217;t a regular customer @ Marita&#8217;s, I really did enjoy their cakes and I had the red velvet cake for my birthday often.  I hope <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marga.org\/food\/rest\/goldentea.html\">The Golden Tea Garden<\/a> in Hayward will still serve their red velvet cake, I&#8217;ll report next time I visit.<br \/>\nA new bakery, <b>Angelina&#8217;s Pastries<\/b> will be opening in the original Marita&#8217;s space on Bancroft. I&#8217;m told that it&#8217;s a venture by the people who own the building, but I know nothing else about it. Stay tuned.<br \/>\nI am also told that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marga.org\/food\/blog\/2007\/12\/maes_soul_food.html\">Mae&#8217;s Southern Comfort<\/a> will move from its Victoria circle location to the Cornerstone location in the corner.  I haven&#8217;t seen anything to indicate that, and I have my doubts as to whether Mae&#8217;s is actually a functioning restaurant as it never seems to be open (I think they open at 1 PM and close at 7 PM, I guess they cater to afternoon eaters exclusively), but they have a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yelp.com\/biz\/maes-southern-comfort-san-leandro\">bunch of reviews<\/a> in Yelp, so apparently some people do manage to get food here. If they do open, I will give them a try.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am sad to inform that Marita&#8217;s Sweet Potato Pie Co. has closed its San Leandro location @ Bancroft and Dutton.
