The Best of Brentwood Hello. I hope you enjoy perusing the results of our readers’ poll as we celebrate our 24th anniversary with the publication of the 2025 Best of Brentwood magazine. As I look at this year’s THE PRESS results, I am proud to say that O RE NT WO this magazine is a true readers poll — by the readers and for the readers. And what business doesn’t want to be recognized as one of “The Best,” proudly displaying that Best of Brentwood sticker! All of us here at The Press take great pride in putting this together. It’s an intense labor of love, sorting through well over 40,000 votes from Brentwood residents. The result? More than 400 businesses are recognized as being one of the Best of Brentwood. Take some time to read about them, and then go visit them and tell them, “I am here because I heard that you were one of the Best of Brentwood!” Have fun reading, and enjoy exploring all the best there is in Brentwood! As the city likes to say, “It’s Better in Brentwood” — and we couldn’t agree more. D

Lifestyle Awards Brentwood puts its best foot forward Brentwood has a lot to offer both new and longtime residents, and these categories are three of the aspects of life here that those residents say they love most. BEST PLACES TO SHOW A VISITOR

Gold: Downtown Brentwood

Brentwood residents love to show off their hometown. When they make plans to take their visitors out, they usually choose to visit downtown Brentwood for its farmers market and the Brentwood Public Library. It’s no surprise Brentwood’s downtown, with its shops, restaurants, events, theater and park, brought home the gold medal in this category. The historical elements of the buildings showcase a vibrant, friendly atmosphere where visitors can enjoy good food paired with local wine, shop for unique artisan goods and find on-trend styles for every occasion. It’s an ideal spot for a night out or family afternoon.

SIilver: U-Pick/Farm Stands

For those looking to gather the freshest food and ingredients, Brentwood is home to dozens of U-pick farms. Harvest Time in Brentwood is a nonprofit entity created to market on behalf of all the U-pick farms, farm stands, country stores and wineries in the area. the organization’s president, Jessica Enos, said winning the silver medal means a high level of recognition by the local community. “People here come out and support our farms,” she explained. “The U-picks and the country stores and the farms and wineries need to be visited by locals in order to continue the agriculture in our area.” From stone fruits and berries to crisp veggies and olive oil, Brentwood residents have fresh ingredients right in their backyard. Enos said things will get even more exciting next year, when Harvest Time celebrates 50 years of supporting local agriculture with events and merchandise. For more information on Harvest Time Brentwood, visit www.harvestforyou.com.

Bronze: Brentwood Library

The Brentwood Library sits in downtown Brentwood, near shopping and dining options and across the street from City Park. The building took the bronze medal and is a returning favorite in this category from years past. The current library building was completed in 2018 and is composed of open, functional spaces with meeting areas, study rooms, a children’s section, a café and an outdoor seating area. The building is the result of a collaboration between the City of Brentwood, the Contra Costa County Library and community support. Ree Satti, Senior Community Library Manager, said she and her team were honored for the library to be recognized by the community. “It’s a testament to the hard work of our staff, the longtime partnership between the city and the county, and the unwavering support of our patrons,” Satti said. For more information on the Brentwood Library, visit www.ccclib.org.

BEST COMMUNITY EVENT

Gold: Brentwood Farmers Market

One event, makes this list every year: the Brentwood Farmers Market. Held every Saturday year-round – rain or shine – in the heart of downtown Brentwood, the farmers market offers abundant produce, fresh flowers, baked goods, diverse food options and locally crafted items. This year, voters gave it the gold medal For more information on the Brentwood Farmers Market, visit www.pcfma.org/ brentwood.

Silver: The Makers Boulevard

Held next to the farmers market on Oak Street on the third Saturday of each month, The Makers Boulevard is an open-air market designed to bring local creators and the community together for a unique experience. Organizer and founder Katie Rogina said she’s added service-based businesses to the list of vendors this year, making it no surprise this event took the silver medal. “Being awarded in the ‘Favorite Community Event’

22 | Best of Brentwood 2025 | www.thepress.net

category truly means the world to us,” Rogina said. “The Makers Boulevard was built on a vision of bringing people together, and to be recognized by the community we serve is such an honor.” For more information on The Makers Boulevard, visit www.themakersboulevard.com.

Bronze:

P.A.I.N.T. Creative Arts Day Program Open Studio PAINT open studio In third place with the bronze medal is the monthly open studio hosted by PAINT (promoting arts, individuals and natural talents). PAINT has a creative arts day program designed to support people in reaching their highest potential creativity, productivity and fulfillment, but program manager Shawn Crane said the open studio events are for anyone who would like to join. “We hold these the third Wednesday of every month in the evening and invite the public for free to participate in an activity, and they usually create something to take home with them,” Crane said. He noted the open studio events began last year and received positive community feedback. For more information on PAINT’s open studio, visit www.paintartprogram.org

BEST GOVERNMENT SPENDING

Gold: Brentwood Library

In first place is the approximately $150,000 the city allocates for the Brentwood Library each year to support programming and extend hours. Contra Costa County funds its libraries to allow 40 hours of staffing each week, but the city’s money pays for an additional 12 hours per week. This allows the library to open six days each week, instead of five, with longer hours on two days. Senior Community Library Manager Ree Satti said the funds also supported a new program this year with Your Arts Connection, offering workshops in art, music and poetry on Wednesday afternoons.”We are incredibly honored to receive this award,” Satti said, referencing the gold medal voters gave their extra funding. “It’s a testament to the hard work of our staff, the longtime partnership between the city and the county, and the unwavering support of our patrons. They

know investing in the library is an investment in the community.”Interim City Manager Darin Gale noted the city has always invested in the library, including funding the current building.“That was a good spend,” Gale said. “And we are happy to fund extended hours to keep the library open.”

during the summer. City Park is the place to be, and that’s only because the city has allocated funding to that project.”In addition to the concert series, the Parks and Recreation Department hosts events throughout the year. There are also regular programs offering swim lessons, gymnastics, dance, soccer, baseball and a wide range of other activities, all through Parks and Recreation.“This department is one of the many things that make Brentwood special,” Gale said. For more information on the Brentwood Library, visit www.ccclib.org/locations/4/.For more information on the Parks and Recreation Department, visit www.brentwoodca. gov/government/parks-recreation.

Silver: Parks and Recreation

The silver medal in this category went to Brentwood’s Parks and Recreation Department. Led by new director Harith Aleem, the department hosts special events and regular classes, while also maintaining 242 developed acres of parks, 20 miles of local and regional trails, and 63 miles of bike lanes.“Brentwood is known for the community events we provide our residents, and many of those are done through our parks and recreation department,” Gale said. “A big hit is our summer concert series, Friday’s

Top Middle: Brentwood Farmers Market Right: Brentwood Library

February of this year. “The extension was needed in order for Costco to open, so definitely a good expenditure of funds,” Gale said. “It also alleviates some of the traffic on Lone Tree Way, so residents who live in the south side of town no longer have to go down Lone Tree to get to Home Depot, Trader Joe’s and the other stores in that shopping center.” The project extended Sand Creek Road from Highway 4 to Heidorn Ranch Road, allowing for easier access to shopping on Lone Tree way, and the city’s future Innovation Center, a 100-acre business park and town center coming in the next few years.

Bronze: Sand Creek Road extension

In third place for best government spending is the $13 million spent on the Sand Creek Extension project, opened in

Lifestyle Awards

Best Nonprofit Brentwood has many nonprofits working to help those in need, support local schools and sports, and create a culture of caring in East County.

Gold: CISSBrentwood

This year, voters chose to recognize CISS (Community Integrated Support Services) Brentwood, a licensed adult day program serving persons with intellectual disabilities, with the gold medal for Best Nonprofit. CISS’s GUIDE program (Guiding Unique Individuals Developing Excellence) operates as part of the day program in Brentwood and offers life-skills training for motivated non-neurotypical individuals at 151 Sand Creek Rd, bld 6. “We have been empowering adults with intellectual disabilities to build meaningful connections and thrive within their communities for over 20 years,” said program leader Jechane Reyes. “Our team is committed to creating a safe, inclusive and innovative environment where both participants and staff are seen, heard and supported.” Reyes said receiving the gold medal in this category is a “deeply meaningful celebration” of the work the program does and the individuals it supports. For more information on CISS, visit www.cissinc.org.

Silver: Be Exceptional Programs

The silver medal went to Be Exceptional Programs, a nonprofit whose mission is to provide recreational classes and social events for people of all ages and abilities. Director Lynda Green said the organization provides everything, “from infant programs, all the way up to adult programming, for those with and without

Top Left: CISS Brentwood activity Top Right: The Be Exeptional Team Right: The Working Wonders sign

special needs.” Last year, Be Exceptional relocated from Antioch to Brentwood, and now offers most of its classes at 1265 Dainty Road. Be Exceptional also offers classes through local city parks and rec departments, including Bentwood, Oakley and Antioch. Subjects range from classes in art and skateboarding to theater, and include seasonal events like Halloween and spring dances. Green said being recognized by the community as a Best of Brentwood nonprofit means they will be able to keep providing services to families. “We are happy to be able to share what we do with others and provide programs for all our students,” she said. “The biggest misconception about us is that we are just for students with special needs, but our classes are inclusion-based and we can take anyone.” For more information on Be Exceptional programs, visit www.beexceptionalprograms.com.

Bronze: Working Wonders

Working Wonders is a returning favorite in this category, this year being awarded the bronze medal. Founded in 2016, Working Wonders provides work-related training through business connections and partnerships for adults with developmental disabilities. President Matt Schwab said the idea for Working Wonders came to him when his son was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder at the age of 2. “At that point, we were like a lot of parents who receive that diagnosis, trying to figure out what his future would be like and how to reshape our family experience,” Schwab said. Through conversations with his wife and other parents in similar situations, the idea of training adults with developmental

50 | Best of Brentwood 2025 | www.thepress.net

disabilities was conceived and eventually became Working Wonders at 150 Middlefield Court, Suite F. Schwab said the staff helps serve their clients by opening doors to them through real-world training, and by helping them find their passion. Clients can train in local restaurants and other businesses, supporting themselves and being part of the community. Schwab said things are going well for Working Wonders. “In the past few years, our ties have grown stronger in the community and we now have a career center,” he added. “We have people who are job-focused, who want to work and they end up leaving us and getting actual work.” He said Working Wonders collaborated with Brentwood schools to create a new pillar program where clients will work in local cafeterias. They also recently placed many clients at local businesses, including Zephyr Grill & Bar in downtown Brentwood, Golf Ballin’, Escape in Time and Starry Nights Studios.

Top Left: Round Valley Regional Preserve Top Right: Marsh Creek Regional Trail Right: Creekside Park

Best Place for Hike or Stroll Brentwood residents love to get outdoors. Thanks to the city’s Parks and Recreation Department, as well as the East Bay Regional Parks District (EBRPD), there are plenty of options to suit every need.

Gold: Round Valley Regional Preserve

Taking the gold medal in the Best Place for a Hike or Stroll category is EBRPD’s Round Valley Regional Preserve, known for its rolling hills and vast meadows. Hikers can appreciate local flora and fauna on 2,200 acres while taking in the views from the higher points of the park. “I think this park is so popular for folks in the area because it’s nearby and it’s quintessential nature,” said EBRPD supervising naturalist Ashley Grenier. “You don’t have to go far to feel like you are out in the wilderness.” The land Round Valley sits on was purchased in 1873 by Irish immigrant Thomas Murphy, who built a ranching and farming operation. Murphy’s grandson sold the land to the parks district in 1988 to preserve the

space for public enjoyment, rather than development. Visitors can still spot several pieces of antique farming equipment in the park. For more information on Round Valley Trail, visit www.ebparks.org.

Silver: Marsh Creek Regional Trail

The silver medal went to the Marsh Creek Regional Trail, also maintained by EBRPD. Locals love to spend time walking the 6.5 paved miles of the trail, which winds along its namesake from Vineyards Parkway in southwestern Brentwood to Big Break Regional Shoreline in Oakley. It’s also the site of conservation efforts to bring back salmon to California’s waterways. “Marsh Creek Trail is one of the only places you can potentially see salmon spawning in the area,” Grenier said. “The park district and the Friends of Marsh Creek, over the past 10 years, have built passageways for salmon to get back to their historic migrations, and I know there have been sightings of salmon in Marsh Creek in recent years, which is new.” Grenier said the paved, mostly flat trail is accessible, and a perfect place for families,

72 | Best of Brentwood 2025 | www.thepress.net

outdoor enthusiasts, and those looking for a scenic path to get their steps in. There are plans in the works to extend the trail three miles further south of Vineyards Parkway to Round Valley Regional Preserve, but funding has yet to be secured. For more information on Marsh Creek Trail, visit www.ebparks.org.

Bronze: Creekside Park

Built in 1994, Brentwood’s Creekside Park has it all: walking paths shaded by tall trees, a large playground, a disc golf course, restrooms and tennis, pickleball and basketball courts. The park is also adjacent to the Marsh Creek Trail, making it an excellent spot to go for a walk. The playground equipment has been replaced since the park was built, and additions – like the pickleball courts, restrooms and disc golf – have been well received by Brentwood residents, according to city officials. Pedestrians at the park can choose to follow the sidewalk loop that circles the park, or merge right onto the larger Marsh Creek Trail. For more information on Creekside Park, visit www.brentwoodca.gov.

Gold: Perfect Star Heating, Air

Conditioning and Electrical This year, Perfect Star Heating, Air Conditioning and Electrical was honored by Brentwood residents with the gold medal for Most Community-Minded Company, while owner Chris Donzelli was recognized with the medal For Most Community-Minded Resident. The owners live in Brentwood, where they do a lot of work and volunteer hours. Donzelli said East County makes up a large portion of his business, and he’s happy to give back. “We do a lot of different community outreach,” Donzelli said. “But the main project we do each year is we work with Lennox, one of our distributors, and we give a free system to a local hometown hero or someone in need of an HVAC (heating, ventilation and air-conditioning) system.” As part of the project, Perfect Star’s team goes to the customer’s home and installs the new system for free. He said the company also donates $10 from every tune-up service to local nonprofits, collaborates with local Rotary clubs, works with seniors in need of help, and participates in local job fairs and events. “Our team really supports our business initiative, which is to give back to the community we live in, where our kids are growing up,” Donzelli said. “We want to make sure our money goes back into that place to people who need it.For more information about Perfect Star, visit www.perfectstarhvac.com/

California Gleamin Luxury wellness spa and boutique California Gleamin won the silver medal for Most Community-minded Company, while owner Sarah Christine was recognized with the medal for Most Communityminded Resident. She said giving back is important to her because she wants to spread kindness and pay it forward for her own good fortune. “You get a sense of fulfillment and accomplishment when you help others and the participants in the events I host love to join in and help,” she said. “Being on the other side and not growing up with the best of the best of everything, I know what it’s like to have wants and needs, and in a private conversation between me and God, I said that if I was ever in a position to give back, I would pay it forward.” Christine serves on the board of the Downtown Brentwood Coalition, helping to organize events. She also serves as an ambassador for the Brentwood Chamber of Commerce, all while hosting fundraising events through her own business. She is involved in local events like Hometown Halloween, the Mrs. Roper Romp, and Mumus and Margaritas. “I’m really into grassroots events, and when I see a need, I want to fill that need,” she said.

Pitts and his wife, Lori, co-own the store. Since opening the discount grocery outlet in 2021, Pitts said he’s worked hard to be a leader in supporting the local community. “I think it’s important for all locally owned businesses to give back to their

communities because we wouldn’t be able to do anything without the support of our customers,” Pitts said. “It’s our way to give back because we are a small business and any way we can give back is important.” Pitts said he’s worked in large corporations, but saw true community support come only from small businesses and is proud to be part of that world now. He enjoys participating in Brentwood events like Oktoberfest, Hometown Halloween and the Brentwood Holiday Parade, as well as partnering with Perfect Star each November to give away 200 Thanksgiving dinners. Through his store, he also supports local Little League programs, the Liberty High School band and athletics programs, and the Heritage High School graduation ceremony. He also donates school supplies to Garin Elementary School and supports the Brentwood Turkey Trot 5K for Schools 5k run/walk each year. “We really appreciate the continued support and everyone who shops at our store,” he said.
