Veganism Blooms in Northern California’s Tri-Valley Area at Blossom

So, how hard is it to find a good vegetarian or better yet a good vegan restaurant in Dublin, California? Apparently, the pickings have been very slim for a very hungry non-meat eating crowd until recently.

What’s up with that? Isn’t this California? Well yes, but it’s not Berkeley, Oakland, San Francisco or Santa Cruz. The usual suspect cities for crunchy granola grass eating herbivores (I can say this I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area). This is the Tri-Valley area, which includes Danville, Dublin, Livermore, Pleasanton, and San Ramon. The region is 33 miles from San Francisco and 18 miles from Oakland, but it might as well be a whole other world called: the rest of America.
