The fall season has brought a handful of changes to Moraga's Rheem Shopping Center. In September, Squeeze Juice Bar opened in the former location of Little Hearty Noodle next to CVS. The bar features smoothies, shakes, fresh pressed juices, and soft-serve ice cream; organic boba teas and snacks are being added to the menu soon. The environment is colorful and kid-friendly . kids can even draw on the walls with markers! Squeeze is open Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. until 6 p.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m.

Also in September, Moraga Produce closed. No news on the new tenant yet.

In October, after a nine-month hiatus, New Delhi Bistro returned to the center in the same location. Owner Roos Pal decided to return to the original name and expand the offering to include both the Baagan vegan menu (which has been available since last fall) and the full previous Indian menu to increase their reach to more customers and also provide the only Indian food available in Moraga. New Delhi Bistro is open daily, Monday through Saturdays from 10 a.m. until 8:30 p.m. and Sundays from 10 a.m. until 7 p.m.

On the horizon, a new upscale consignment shop is expected to open in the shopping center before the end of the year.

Rheem Shopping Center has made a few physical changes as well. Specifically, look for new landscaping and string lights in front of China Moon, Lamorinda Pizza, Tangelo, and Noodle Theory, with new outdoor furniture coming soon.
