Last week I reported that reader The Shadow told me that a sign on the window at Crushcakes, 6533 Trigo Road in Isla Vista indicates that the business is moving next month to a new location on Hollister Avenue. Crushcakes owner Shannon Gaston sent me an email filling in the details:

“Hi John,

I saw the little blurb you put in your last restaurant news section in the Independent about Crushcakes on the move and wanted to give you a little more info: Crushcakes & Simply Pies are tying the knot! Crushcakes has purchased Simply Pies at 5392 Hollister Avenue in Goleta and will be serving Simply Pies at all of the Crushcakes locations. Crushcakes Cafe in Isla Vista will be moving into the Simply Pies location in Goleta and serving our full breakfast, lunch, coffee and cake menu in addition to the Simply Pies menu. We are remodeling our new location in Goleta and hoping to reopen in August. Stay tuned for our “official” grand opening party! See you then!
