Nestlé Toll House Cafés by Chip announced that two new stores in Tracy and Newark, California, recently in the West Valley Mall and New Park Mall, respectively. The newest cafés mark the 15th and 16th in California and are among nearly 150 system-wide, according to a company press release. In addition to its cookies, cookie cakes and Nescafe Milano coffees, the cafés also specialize in smoothies, brownies, ice cream, crepes and an array of other treats and lunchtime snacks.

"Our cafés have been warmly embraced across the United States and beyond, and we have been growing steadily throughout Northern California," said Shawnon Bellah, chief operating officer of Crest Foods Inc, the franchisor of Nestlé Toll House Café by Chip. "We like to think of our cafés as a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle of urban life, and a great meeting spot for friends, families and on-the-go shoppers."

Franchise owners Dan and Annette Chance launched the West Valley Mall café — their second — by treating shoppers to free cookies and showcasing their confections, custom cookie cakes and made-to-order sandwiches, paninis and wraps.

"While we always encourage our sweet-toothed guests to grab a cookie or another freshly baked treat to go, we hope they'll take a seat, enjoy a cup of premium coffee or some lunch, and relax a while as they take in the sights and sounds of this beautiful mall," Annette Chance said. "Our café is warm and welcoming, and there's something for everyone here."

New Park Mall café owner Zuby Chashmawala is equally excited to introduce the brand to shoppers in Newark.

"I believe this is the perfect addition to New Park," Chashmawala said. "Needless to say, I am very excited to be a part of the Nestlé Toll House Café by Chip family. I couldn't have chosen a sweeter business model to follow for success."

Along with Nestlé Toll House cookies and cookie cakes, the cafés serve brownies, smoothies, ice creams, cold drinks and coffee. Both of the new cafés offer their own seating area, free Wi-Fi, digital menus displayed on eight LED screens and an upgraded design that showcases the concept's product offerings.

West Valley Mall is located at 3200 North Naglee Rd. in Tracy. The café, located in the mall's center court, is open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sunday.
