Last week it was finally confirmed that the boba cafe T4 would be coming to downtown Walnut Creek where The Candy Counter used to be but intriguingly as you can see in the above signage Poke Salad will also be opening here as well. Poke Salad opened late last year across from Todos Santos Plaza in Concord, which just so happens to be located next to another new T4 cafe. Check out their menu here.
Considering Oke Poke will also be opening in downtown Walnut Creek, it looks like we have two trends, boba + poke so having it in one spot sure is convenient for the trend-setters.

6:30 – 8:30pm | FreeHuey Lewis and The News have carried the banner as the quintessential American rock band, endearing them to millions of fans and earning them the right to mark their place in pop music history. With a nearly unbroken string of hit songs, their music became the soundtrack for a generation. During the 1980’s and early 1990’s, they scored a total of 19 top-ten singles across the Billboard Hot 100, Adult Contemporary and Mainstream Rock charts. SuperHuey – The Ultimate Huey Lewis Experience is the only show of it’s kind anywhere in the nation.
Please feel free to bring your own chairs or blankets to sit on. Beer, Wine and water will be sold at the event.

Thanks to everyone for sending word that after three years in Walnut Creek Sunol Ridge restaurant and bar has closed. Note that three resaturants on this Locust St. & Cypress St. corner are all closed. Crogan’s closed earlier this year and Stelle Bistro closed right after Sunol Ridge opened three years ago in July. And life goes on.
The message on and offline says:
We are reassessing the vision of Sunol Ridge and will cease operations effective August 1, 2017.
We thank you for your patronage over the years and look forward to serving you again.
Broadway Pointe, Walnut Creek
The online thrift store ThredUp is opening their second location in downtown Walnut Creek where H&M used to be in the Broadway Pointe shopping center on August 17th. A sign inside says “ThredUp popup” so this may be a temporary popup shop but there is no mention of this being a popup in this Forbes article, where the founder notes that people in Walnut Creek are “more affluent and suburban, and that store will offer more designer brands and more handbags.” Check out their website here, and enter for your chance at a $500 shopping spree in the Walnut Creek store here.

Earlier this year we posted scuttlebutt about how the boba cafe T4 may be coming to downtown Walnut Creek and this is now been confirmed based on a peek inside. T4 already has one cafe in Walnut Creek in Ygnacio Plaza and this will be, incredibly, the fourth boba cafe in downtown Walnut Creek in addition to Mr. Green Bubble, Chalogy, and iTea. There are now more boba cafes than ice cream shops (Lottie’s Creamery, CREAM, San Francisco Creamery) in downtown Walnut Creek!
I’m still waiting for a rice pudding cafe though…
