A few years ago we learned that Walnut Creek-based lugged steel bicycle maker Rivendell was opening a showroom called Bike, Book & Hatchet in downtown Walnut Creek featuring their own bicycles, as well as books and hatchets, and sadly, this eclectic shop is closing at the end of September. However, Rivendell still takes orders online here and will continue to focus on making lugged steel bikes at their original location at 2040 N. Main St. Find out more about Rivendell and lugged steel bikes here.

We learned way back in February that Piedmont-based Mr. Green Bubble would be coming to downtown Walnut Creek in between Orangetheory Fitness and Buon Vino, where Second to None Consignment store used to be and now the Coming Soon signage is up. Has anyone tried one of their other locations? What is your favorite flavor?

A reader asks:
Are there any ice cream trucks that operate in Walnut Creek? Our neighborhood is holding a block party next month and we’d love to get an ice cream truck to stop by.

It’s been a long two year wait but Boudin Bakery & Cafe is finally back in a new spot next to Nordstrom in Broadway Plaza in downtown Walnut Creek and the new spot where they are located is SO much better than their former spot next to Macy’s. While the former spot felt claustrophobic due to lack of space and lighting, this new spot sees the light of day, literally, with giant windows allowing plenty of natural sunlight in. The larger space has plenty more seating as well as outdoor tables as well as a long section along the wall to line up.
I tried the classic BBQ pork sandwich with coleslaw and it was great. They also offer burgers which I don’t believe they offered in their old location. I also saw a beer and wine sign on the wall which will go great with their sourdough offerings. In addition to dishes they also offer sliced bread (sourdough, cinnamon raisin and multigrain).
