••• After being closed for renovations, Los Agaves on Milpas is back in action.
••• Pegaslice, which “offers thin and crispy rectangle-style pizza, pizza-style sandwiches, salads, soft-serve ice cream and appetizers,” has opened at 7398 Calle Real in Goleta. —Noozhawk
••• Conejo Valley Guide says that an Erewhon store will debut sometime in August at The Lakes at Thousand Oaks (just this side of Westlake Village, so around 15 minutes closer to here). And no, there’s still no word on whether the chain has found a suitable location around here.
••• The Ellwood has launched Woody’s Pierside Bar & Grill, a snack shack selling “burgers, hot dogs, salads, and snacks” to-go on Mondays and Tuesdays from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.—Independent
••• “It’s official: Raising Cane’s, Urbane Cafe and El Pollo Loco are all coming to Goleta” at Hollister Village Plaza (the one with Smart & Final and CVS). —Noozhawk
••• Mendocino Farms opened at La Cumbre Plaza.
••• Wella’s Soul Food is taking over the former Los Altos apce at 318 N. Milpas Street. —Restaurant Guy
••• I’m not a huge dessert guy, but if there’s one restaurant where I always save room, it’s Merci. The other night, the three of us had the reliably wonderful chocolate soufflé with espresso cream, along with delectable s’more ice cream (made with homemade graham crackers and marshmallows), and an amazing deconstructed Pavolva with Baby Crawford peach—i.e., the $10-per-pound ones at the farmers’ market—at the center. And we left wishing we had gotten the frozen crème brûlée, too.
