A new Middle Eastern restaurant from the owners of Silk Road in Walnut Creek called Lavosh is planning on opening in Lafayette where Rustic Tavern used to be, according to Diablo Dish. I wonder if this is related to Pomegranate closing?

Last November we learned that The Shade Store would be replacing the ice cream shop Smitten in La Fiesta Square with a showroom and their bold signage is now up. Check out their website here where you can shop online for shades, blinds and drapery. As an ice cream fan where am I going to go when I’m in Lafayette?
Whenever I pass these concrete structures on Deer Hill Rd. in Lafayette I imagine they are abandoned World War II pillboxes, ready to defend downtown Lafayette from invading forces…
Lafayette Mercantile
Thanks to everyone who emailed that the seafood restaurant Yankee Pier will be closing today in the Lafayette Mercantile shopping center. Apparently high rent as well as lower revenue caused the same group that owned Lark Creek in downtown Walnut Creek to exit. However, their website does show they also own nearby Cooperage and Corners Tavern. I wonder if the addition of newer restaurants Batch & Brine and Barranco across the street impacted them negatively?
