Blackhawk Plaza, Danville
In March we learned that San Francisco-based Beep’s Burgers would be coming to Blackhawk Plaza in Danville and the signage is now up and they are now hiring on Craigslist here. Check out their San Francisco menu here.
Main Street Plaza, Walnut Creek
It’s been over three years since the home decor shop Filthy Gorgeous was last in Walnut Creek back in the old Broadway Plaza and they are now moving back downtown, this time to Main Street Plaza at the corner of S. California Blvd. and Botelho Dr. Check for updates on their Facebook page here and their website here.
1388 Locust St, Walnut Creek
Thanks to everyone for sending word that after three years in Walnut Creek Sunol Ridge restaurant and bar has closed. Note that three resaturants on this Locust St. & Cypress St. corner are all closed. Crogan’s closed earlier this year and Stelle Bistro closed right after Sunol Ridge opened three years ago in July. And life goes on.
The message on and offline says:
We are reassessing the vision of Sunol Ridge and will cease operations effective August 1, 2017.
We thank you for your patronage over the years and look forward to serving you again.
Broadway Pointe, Walnut Creek
The online thrift store ThredUp is opening their second location in downtown Walnut Creek where H&M used to be in the Broadway Pointe shopping center on August 17th. A sign inside says “ThredUp popup” so this may be a temporary popup shop but there is no mention of this being a popup in this Forbes article, where the founder notes that people in Walnut Creek are “more affluent and suburban, and that store will offer more designer brands and more handbags.” Check out their website here, and enter for your chance at a $500 shopping spree in the Walnut Creek store here.
1385 N. Main St, Walnut Creek
Earlier this year we posted scuttlebutt about how the boba cafe T4 may be coming to downtown Walnut Creek and this is now been confirmed based on a peek inside. T4 already has one cafe in Walnut Creek in Ygnacio Plaza and this will be, incredibly, the fourth boba cafe in downtown Walnut Creek in addition to Mr. Green Bubble, Chalogy, and iTea. There are now more boba cafes than ice cream shops (Lottie’s Creamery, CREAM, San Francisco Creamery) in downtown Walnut Creek!
I’m still waiting for a rice pudding cafe though…
Plaza Center, Lafayette
Back in May we learned about a new pilates studio called Club Pilates coming to Plaza Center in Lafayette, in the back area near Whole Foods and they have now opened. Check out their schedule here and find out more about the classes here.
Broadway Plaza, Walnut Creek
Thanks to everyone for pointing to this CNN Money article noting that Starbucks-owned Teavana is closing all storefronts. Teavana opened just over a year ago in the newly redeveloped Broadway Plaza in Walnut Creek with one of their concept stores featuring loose leaf tea.
I was at the CVS parking lot in downtown Walnut Creek the other day checking out progress on Philz coffee shop, not paying attention to the sign in some but not all of the spots:
Private Parking
Spaces Reserved
Employee Parking Program
$30 charge
Online registration required
Be careful parking in that lot. It looks like you can get a ticket even if you were to shop at the stores located there!
