Thanks to a reader for sending word that Mr. Dewie’s Cashew Creamery, with locations in Emeryville, Albany and Piedmont, is coming to downtown Walnut Creek. Check out their flavor menu here.
From their website:
Their mission was to make a creamy, rich, and delicious ice cream that also met their personal dietary needs of being free of dairy, gluten, and soy.

In August, we learned that a Rivian showroom would be coming to Broadway Plaza in downtown Walnut Creek, conveniently located right across from the Tesla showroom where Rodd & Gunn used to be. Find out more about Rivian and their electric vehicles here.
Considering Musk’s role in DOGE, I’m curious how Democratic Tesla owners feel about their cars. Do they separate politics from their purchasing decisions and are satisfied? Or do they regret their purchase? Or a combination of both?

Horn Barbecue opened recently in Lafayette where All the Smoke BBQ used to be, which is where Bonehead’s Texas BBQ used to be, which in turn is where Bo’s Barbecue used to be. It’s impressive how many BBQ spots have been here — word must travel fast! Over the weekend, the mid-day line was huge, so this place must be doing something right. Check out their menu here.
From their website:
At Horn Barbecue, we honor the time-honored meat-smoking techniques of Central Texas while infusing the rich culinary traditions of the Black South. This fusion, known as West Coast Barbecue, blends the deep-rooted flavors of Texas and the South with the creativity and innovation of California.

Agora at South Main, Walnut Creek
Marvel Cake opened last week at Agora at South Main in Walnut Creek where Starbucks used to be. Check out their menu here. They are particularly known for their “spiral croissant” which is not yet available at their Walnut Creek location. One highlight for me is their selection of French tea from the esteemed French brand Mariage Frères. While they have no connection to Marvel characters, I can’t help but picture them offering Spiderman-themed cakes right before entering!
From their website:
Everything served at Marvel Cake is made fresh daily on the premises using the finest ingredients, including fresh butter and cream from quality local producers, pure whole vanilla beans, Belgian chocolate, and fresh seasonal produce from the top-notch local producers.
