What began as a simple desire to share Grandma’s cherished Nut Cake recipe transformed into a signature Brown Butter Pecan Cookie, a buttery, melt-in-your-mouth creation that paved the way for the shop’s growing lineup of cookies. Each month, the Bakeshop introduces a unique creation, adding excitement and variety to their already beloved lineup of cookies. BUTTER PECAN BAKESHOP

FAIRFIELD ARTS Dennis Ariza’s dream of reopening a gallery is now a reality thanks to the vibrant growth in the downtown area. The new Fairfield Arts Gallery showcases a carefully curated selection of artwork, featuring both the owner’s pieces and those of talented hand-picked artists. The gallery is a celebration of creativity and community, and visitors will find a diverse range of artwork and unique gifts. During the search for the perfect location, Dennis was inspired by the ongoing revitalization efforts in the downtown area. He noticed that many properties were quickly leased for new restaurants, highlighting the demand for vibrant community spaces. This motivated him to contribute to the cultural landscape by creating a space dedicated to the arts. Dennis looks forward to welcoming visitors to a warm and inviting gallery where art and community converge. He is excited to engage with fellow art lovers and provide a venue where creativity flourishes.

The City of Fairfield is running a weekly campaign called, “The Buck Stops Here – Shop Small”, features videos of locally- owned and operated businesses and highlights their unique features and the
important role each one plays in stimulating Fairfield’s economy.
Store and restaurant sales generate sales tax, which the City reinvests in the community. If you are a small Fairfield business and would like to be featured in this campaign, please contact Bill Way at wway@fairfield.ca.gov.
