By Cookie Cafe changes ownership

The Cookie Cafe on Main Street in downtown Los Altos changed ownership Aug. 1. The new owners, Tracy and Pehn Lay, have expanded the cafe’s yogurt and cookie menu to include lunch items.

The cafe features deli sandwiches and homemade soup that changes daily. The Lays plan to add doughnuts and bagels to the menu later this month.

This is the first restaurant that the Oakland couple have exclusively owned and operated.
