Peet’s Coffee is closing on October 7th within the Amazon store at Broadway Plaza in Walnut Creek. It’s nice that the product selection will expand with this extra space but I sure will miss those large $2.15 muffins. 😞

Thanks to a reader for sending word that L & L Hawaiian Barbecue is coming to downtown Walnut Creek where Home of Chicken and Waffles and later Baygreens Salad used to be. Check out their menu here.
From their website:
In the early years, L&L Hawaiian Barbecue was a successful chain of drive-in restaurants with a reputation for serving fresh plate lunches throughout the Hawaiian islands. In late 1999, our founders – Johnson Kam and Eddie Flores, Jr. – introduced their signature, Asian and American fusion take on the classic plate lunch to the residents of California.
Plate lunch – also known as “the state food of Hawaii” – dates back to wage laborers in 19th century sugar plantations and pineapple fields, who brought rice and other leftovers to work in compartmentalized tins. Lunches were often shared, resulting in a harmonious mix of home recipes from Japan, China, the Philippines, Portugal, Korea, and even New England.
Orinda Theatre Square
