Boba tea is not the only thing available at Mr. Green Bubble in downtown Walnut Creek. These ice cream macarons sure do look tempting especially as summer rolls around!

The burger joint featuring LA and Oaktown style street food 310 Eatery has been open for a few weeks now in their previous Redux Lounge location on Locust St. in downtown Walnut Creek and their craft-draft partner Urban Alley is expected to open a bar inside within the next few weeks. In addition to a full liquor bar featuring craft cocktails from the mixologist at Oakland’s A16, they also plan on rolling out an indoor beer garden featuring plenty of drafts. I look forward to having a burger with a cold beer here soon!

A cool, new record store which also sells “Brand New Old-World Goods”, Up the Creek Records opened earlier this month on the second floor in Tice Valley Plaza in Walnut Creek. In addition to vinyl, they also carry a sweet selection of hand-picked goods, many made locally such as clothing by Devium, Vintage Electric Bikes, Cielomar Jewelry, books and more. Although some things look used, everything in the store is new including the aged electric Nash guitars.
They are open Thursdays through Saturdays from 1 – 7pm and will be hosting musical events here as well. Check for updates on their Instagram page here.
There is something for everyone here, men, women and even children, including musically-themed books for both young and older kids. One of the great things here is the listening room where one can check out how the albums sound on Spotify with a fine looking picture of David Bowie hanging on the wall. There will also be local artists featured as well. Even if vinyl is not your thing I recommend checking this fun shop out!

Anyone know what’s going on with the Japanese restaurant Kurumi? They opened last December, but when I stopped by over the weekend it was closed with windows papered over with a sign in the window announcing their grand opening. How can there be a grand opening for a restaurant that’s been open since last year?
