Broadway Plaza, Walnut Creek
Cocola Bakery, located right next to Macy’s and the soon to open True Food Kitchen at Broadway Plaza in downtown Walnut Creek will be opening soon offering baked goods, pastries, as well as sandwiches, soups, salads and more. Check out their menu here. Good to finally see more dining options in this area.
From their website:
Cocola is a one of a kind high-end patisserie established in 2002 by Sue and Amir Aliabadi, a mother and son partnership, with the first locations in Santana Row and Westfield Valley Fair.
The specialties of our cafés are pastries and French confections, that we like to think of as “affordable luxuries”. We also serve gourmet sandwiches on baguettes fresh from the oven, with salads and homemade soups.

When we learned last month that the skincare shop Oceane Beauty would be opening a kiosk in Broadway Plaza in Walnut Creek there was some concern whether they were replacing Wetzel’s Pretzels, which also was opening a kiosk. We now know that Wetzel’s will still be opening a kiosk near Macy’s across from Victoria’s Secret. Check out Wetzel’s menu here.
