Lafayette Forge
Thanks to a reader for pointing out that Headlands Brewing is opening a taproom at the Lafayette Forge where the Lafayette Art Gallery used to be, next to Bonehead’s Texas BBQ. You may remember years ago that Lamorinda Taphouse was going to open at the backside of the Lafayette Forge… Check out Headlands Brewing beer selection here and follow the progress on their Insta here.
From their website:
Our indoor and outdoor design plan for the new brewery will feature a taproom with a 20-tap floating draught tower, two outdoor patios with fire pits and family-friendly open landscaping. We will proudly feature small batch ales exclusively available at the brewery, as well as guest beers, local wines and ciders, and a light, creative food program.

Encina Grande, Walnut Creek
Look for Starbird Chicken to open at the Encina Grande shopping center in Walnut Creek in January 2021. Check out their menu here.
From their website:
We believed that fried chicken hadn’t reached its true potential, too often being heavy, greasy and featuring the same old flavors.
We began with quality, trustworthy ingredients and real scratch cooking, taking antibiotic-free chicken raised in our Bay Area backyard and hand-breading it in our secret blend of gluten-free flour and spices.
Blackhawk Plaza, Danville
At the beginning of the year we learned that Choza Tacos Y Cantina would be opening at Blackhawk Plaza in Danville and they have now opened. Check out the Danville menu here.
From their website:
Serving fresh, authentic Mexican cuisine. Homemade tortillas made on-site. Full bar with house made margaritas and top shelf tequilas. Family friendly. Chef Jorge Hernandez will be creating amazing dishes to please the most demanding palates.
The Veranda, Concord
Late last year we learned that Devil & Angel Soft Ice Cream & Milk Tea Bar would be coming to The Veranda in Concord and they have now opened. I love both soft ice cream and boba so I really look forward to trying this place out. You can order online here.
From their website:
Devil & Angel welcomes a cultural inspired Soft Serve Ice Cream along with traditional hand crafted Boba drinks that brings traditional and modern creations in one made with fresh ingredients daily
