Well-known Taiwanese boba tea outlet Chicha San Chen and Japanese crepe specialist Eight Turn Crepe plan to open this summer or fall in the shopping center on the eastern edge of Pleasanton near the San Francisco Premium Outlets in Livermore. Yogurtland and HiroNori Craft Ramen have also signed leases for storefront locations.<\/p>\n

Chicha San Chen, which serves freshly brewed tea, milk tea, and fruit tea, is preparing to open its store in late August. This latest outlet joins a list of locations that includes Berkeley, Cupertino, Daly City, Fremont and San Jose.<\/p>\n

New York-based Eight Turn Crepe makes crepes with gluten-free rice flour. Customers can choose from sweet or savory ingredients, which are rolled into the crepes and served in a handheld paper cone. Scheduled to open in late September or early October, this will be the chain\u2019s first store in Northern California.<\/p>\n

Its other locations are in Cupertino, Fremont, San Mateo and Santa Clara. The restaurant has also not announced an opening date.<\/p>\n
