Thanks to everyone for pointing out this San Francisco Business Times article about Napa-based Gott’s Roadside opening their first East Bay location in downtown Walnut Creek by year’s end. Last November we learned that Fresh Choice closed and this is where Gott’s Roadside will open. Look for the remodeled building to provide more outdoor seating. I have enjoyed their soft serve ice cream many times when I’m in the Ferry Building in San Francisco and look forward to trying more dishes once they open here.
