The restaurant Lettuce has been open for several years now in downtown Walnut Creek at 1632 Locust St. near the Lesher Center and I can’t believe this is my first time trying this place out. It’s independently owned with only one location and I will definitely be back for lunch. I ordered the Mission and Soho salads to-go and it was quite yummy. Check out their menu here. They also offer soups and sandwiches. Has anyone tried the sandwiches? What are the must-try items?
This is where you order the salads, they are big!
Big menu and nice looking interior:

The restaurant Corners Tavern has been open for a year now in downtown Walnut Creek and I recently noticed they offer a kids menu. Take a look at the kids burger in the photo above, it’s an exact replica of the adult burger which I think is great. Many times kids meals are dumbed down so this was a nice surprise.
Take a look at the kids menu:
Corners Tavern is located at 1342 Broadway Plaza, Walnut Creek next to Macy’s.
In the beginning of March I noted that the restaurant Rustic Kitchen would be opening in downtown Lafayette on Mt. Diablo Blvd. and due to naming conflicts Rustic Kitchen will now be known as Rustic Tavern. They plan on opening in the beginning of April and are looking for experienced staff both in the front and back so if you’re interested check out this Craigslist posting here:

I’ve never heard of an egg hunt in a restaurant but they do have that back patio area, sounds like a cool idea.
The Italian restaurant Mondello’s which closed a few years ago in Moraga next to 24 Hour Fitness is being replaced by a “home/made kitchen cafe & bakery”, opening soon according to a sign in the window. Not sure if that’s going to be the name “home/made kitchen” but what’s the point of the /? I look forward to seeing how this turns out.
Last month I noted that Mr. Pickle’s Sandwich Shop was opening soon in Walnut Creek and now the signage is up at the N. Broadway and Ygnacio Valley Rd. location so it can’t be long before it’s open now. Thanks to a reader for pointing this out.
Yesterday I noted that Bake! was closing in downtown Walnut Creek (formerly Walnut Creek Baking Company) and now a reliable source sends news that the wine bar Residual Sugar is taking over the Bake! location and will include a full-scale kitchen. More info as it becomes available. Residual Sugar is located at 1684 Locust St. right near the Lesher Center for the Arts.
Well, it’s only been about six months since Bake! opened in the Walnut Creek Baking Company location in downtown Walnut Creek but it has now closed according to a sign in the window. Thanks to a reader for sending this update. Previously, the Walnut Creek Baking Company had been in business for over 10 years when they suddenly closed and Bake! took over the equipment and even the recipes. As for what will replace Bake!, who wants to see WCBC come back?
