After over 20 years in business in Walnut Creek, Edwards Everything Travel is closing in Broadway Plaza by the end of January. In addition to their Walnut Creek location, their San Francisco and San Mateo locations will be closing as well, leaving only their Palo Alto location open.

Question of the Day – Which Shuttered Restaurant do you miss the Most?

January 25, 2019 8:30 am

This week we learned that two long term restaurants closed or will be closing in downtown Walnut Creek, Pomegranate and Le Cheval. I’ve had quite a few meals at both these spots, including family events, getting together with friends etc. Although I hadn’t been there recently, I will miss the delicious gyros at Pomegranate in particular. Which restaurant that has closed do you miss the most?

Pomegranate Closes in Downtown Walnut Creek

January 24, 2019 1:00 pm

1389 N. Main St, Walnut Creek

The Greek restaurant Pomegranate, which had been closed for weeks due to “staff training”, has finally closed, replaced with a “FOR LEASE” sign. It looks like the new owners couldn’t make it work unfortunately as I enjoyed many meals here. At least the pomegranate tree remains in front, for now.
