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?
Broadway Plaza, Walnut Creek

A couple of weeks ago we learned about a new organic fast food joint called The Organic Coup, featuring organic chicken dishes, would be opening in the Downtown Pleasant Hill Shopping Center and they have now opened. Check out their menu after the jump. They also offer bags of organic kettle popcorn at a reasonable $2. A big sign in front of the cash register notes, “No Cash, No Tips”.

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.

As you can see in the photo below, they also have a window display on the garage side driving on S. Broadway, although there is no entrance from that side.

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).
