City Center Bishop Ranch, San Ramon
The pastry shop Miette opened recently at City Center Bishop Ranch in San Ramon. After savoring a scrumptious Dulce de Leche macaron, I found myself at Salt & Straw’s doorstep next door, where the sweet, sweet ice cream flavors proved too tempting to resist. As a result, I ended up indulging in a kid’s scoop after lunch. Check out Miette’s online selection here. I’ll be back for more macarons next time.


Lafayette Mercantile
In November, we learned that Venture Goods would be relocating to Lafayette Mercantile, taking over the former space of Jos. A. Bank. And now, Venture Goods has officially opened their doors! The new location is much more spacious than their previous one, with separate sections for both men’s and women’s clothing, as well as a selection of bags and other high-quality goods. The interior boasts high ceilings and great lighting, creating a welcoming shopping experience. If you can’t make it to the physical store, be sure to check out their online shop by clicking here.
