Exploring five signature places in the Claremont Village!

On a beautiful Sunday morning, we traveled by car down to the Claremont Village. During our trip, we stopped by five places to show Webb students what is available just three miles away from campus.  

1st stop: Claremont Farmers & Artisans Market 

Every Sunday morning, the market takes place from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Harvard Avenue between First Street & Bonita Avenue. 

2nd stop: Crème Bakery 

Every morning, breads and pastries are made by hand and sold in the shop. Make sure to stop by early because they do sell out fast. 

3rd stop: Village Grille

Ever since 1949, the Village Grille has  served pancakes and burgers in a 50s themed diner. Enjoy sitting in the vintage booths while listening to music from a jukebox. 

4th stop: Some Crust Bakery 

Also known as Claremont’s Bakery, Some Crust sells a large variety of pastries, cookies, and cakes. In addition, they have a coffee shop attached to their bakery if you want to pick up a warm espresso or iced latte. 

5th stop: 42nd Street Bagel 

The walls of this cafe are covered with musical posters, giving off a vibe that you are in the middle of a playbook. The cafe has all sorts of bagels and coffee drinks.

Emily Shao (‘26) is sitting at her desk, surrounded by stacks of articles and open browser tabs, deep in research mode as she sifts through scattered details of the P. Diddy case. With limited reliable sources and countless rumors swirling online, information is difficult to find and even harder to verify. “It's like a reminder that we often don’t know what’s happening behind the scenes, even with public figures we think we know,” Emily said. The search for truth feels like peeling back layers of a story far more complicated than any headline could convey.

A large variety of candies is spilling out of a pumpkin trick-or-treat bucket. As Halloween comes to an end, students count their candies and pick out the ones they like to save while arguing over which one is ultimately the best. “Halloween is one of my favorite holidays because I love candies and watching movies,” said Tychelle Moore Cul-pepper (’27). Students have had a fruitful Halloween this year and continue to look forward to next year’s celebration.

Sophomores and juniors in Technology and Innovation Seminar 1.0 work on designs for their projects. Since the removal of AP Computer Science from course selections, students found themselves signing up for its replacement. “I signed up for this course because there was no APCS course, and it seemed fun to build projects and learn about software or hardware engineering,” Julie Liu (‘27) said. Although APCS has been removed from the program, its substitution, Technology and Innovation Seminar 1.0, is just as fun, with students developing their own projects and using critical thinking skills to solve problems.

Webb students gathered in Stockdale for a lively Karaoke Club session, where voices filled the room with familiar melodies. Michael Han ('27) took the stage with “Night Changes” by One Direction where his heartfelt performance captivated fellow Webbies. As Michael sang, the familiar lyrics on-screen brought a wave of nostalgia, and students swayed along in unison, resonating with their shared love for One Direction. “Liam’s music bonded so many of us, it’s hard to imagine Gen Z without it,” Natalie Lau ('28) said, summing up the deep connection many feel to Payne’s legacy.

Tyler Liu (‘25), the publisher Mr. Dashwood in Webb’s 2024 Fall production Little Women , flits though the clothes rack, looking for the jacket to his costume. Every play begins and ends with its costumes. “The suit is really nice, and it really feels like I’m an English gentleman,” Tyler said. The theater program was able to borrow fine clothing from a local costume shop, ensuring each actor had period-appropriate suits or dresses tailored to them.
