New Year's Brunch at Café Hacienda
2100 Donald Dr., Moraga
(925) 878-1411
Café Hacienda is open today, Jan. 1, from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. for a special New Year's Day brunch at the Hacienda de las Flores. Owner Gayle Somers is working with the town to get approval on extended hours this year. The bucolic building and grounds belong to the town; it is the facility where most of the town's recreation activities and many public meetings are held. "We would like to offer Saturday and Sunday brunch from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. until the wedding season starts again," says Somers. "The plan would also be to open on Thursday nights for dinner, by reservation only. We would be closed on Mondays and would prepare an email blast each week with our seasonal menu for the following Thursday." The Café would be open for breakfast and lunch during the rest of the week, including Fridays. Somers is hoping for a decision by mid-January. Reservations are encouraged but not required.
