The Orchards at Walnut Creek
Another day, another Starbucks opens in Walnut Creek, this time in the Orchards shopping center where of course a Starbucks inside Safeway exists a couple of doors down.
Blackhawk Plaza, Danville
Blackhawk Burger opened early last year in Blackhawk Plaza in Danville but they have now closed. What’s the best place to get a burger in Danville?
1320 Locust St, Walnut Creek
The grab-and-go juice, meal and snack spot Urban Remedy opened recently in downtown Walnut Creek next to Veggie Grill. It reminded me of Pressed Juicery a block away but they emphasized to me that they use organic ingredients. While Urban Remedy doesn’t offer frozen “yogurt” like Pressed does, they do offer ready-to-go meals and snacks. I tried the “Vegan Caesar with Cumin Chickpea Croutons” and cacao chip bar and enjoyed it! Especially since you’re allowed to sit outside where the Veggie Grill tables are. I’m not sure if that’s the official policy but people at both Urban Remedy and Veggie Grill said it’s ok to sit there which is great! Check out their meals and snacks here and juices here.

Danville Brewing Co. is now open for lunch and dinner in the new Danville Hotel Town Center on Railroad Ave. Check out their food menu here and drinks menu here. Brewed on the premises, they offer beers such as Danville IPA, Danville Coconut Stout, Hartz Wheat and more. I’m looking forward to trying the Mount Diablo burger!

Last August we learned that the frozen yogurt shop Tutti Frutti closed in Danville Square where Trader Joe’s is located on Railroad Ave. and now a new poke restaurant called Kanpai Poke will be opening in this location. Is anyone noticing a trend?
