Honda drivers, listen up. You know that mondo-sized Honda repair shop located on the edge of downtown Walnut Creek, the one that has three pull-up lanes and a football-field-sized parking lot in back? Well, if you’ve ever had to drop off your Honda there — stupid fuel pump, who needs one? — you’re well aware of the anguish-filled moments that occur while waiting for the mechanic to tally up the bill. To bide the time, we suggest walking one block south on Locust to the Walnut Creek Baking Company to indulge in some sweet relief. Dive into the Evil Chocolate Tart and kiss your auto blues away. Snarf down a wedge of crumbling coffee cake and forget you even own a car. Suffocate yourself with the tangy lemon bars — they’re heaven. When you’re done, consider picking up an apple pie for the road. You’ll need it.
