In July we learned that Forever Yogurt would be opening at the corner of N. Main St. and Geary Rd. in Walnut Creek and according to the signage the “boba tea and bao shop” Bee & Tea will also be opening in this spot. Sounds like a great combination!
From the Bee & Tea website:
Bee & Tea is on a mission to make boba tea mainstream. With a vibrant and urban storefront, we want everyone to experience our top quality Taiwanese boba milk tea beverages by offering a wide variety of flavor, sweetness, and topping options for each guest’s brew. Bee & Tea is modernizing the boba tea world to bring personalized beverage creations, mouthwatering bao and a chic service to you.
Bao are steamed, soft, sweet buns stuffed with only the freshest ingredients like pork, miso steak, BBQ beef and Japanese curry chicken that will leave you wanting more after just one bite.
Bao buns have an ancient legacy in China, dating back more than 2,000 years. But that doesn’t mean we can’t have fun with these delicious on-the-go snacks today. Our handmade bao fillings are cooked exclusively for Bee & Tea stores, rotating featured recipes so you can try something new on every visit!

The Belgium chocolate shop GODIVA opened recently in Broadway Plaza in downtown Walnut Creek. I didn’t realize that in addition to chocolates, they also offer soft serve ice cream. Considering that it was a hot day, and I am a fan of both soft serve ice cream, AND chocolate is my favorite flavor, I felt a gigantic urge to get a scoop. At $6 it’s not the cheapest cone I’ve had but you can choose a chocolate dipped waffle cone for no extra charge. As I licked the delicious ice cream (see below), I had alternating thoughts running through my mind… “mmm, this is SO good”, and “there must be 1000 calories in this thing, OMG, I need to join a cycling gym or go for a run”. They also offer chocolate dipped strawberries and a frequent buyer’s card, buy six soft serves or drinks, get one free.

The San Francisco-based, Paris-inspired clothing store Les Lunes, featuring clothing made from bamboo, has opened their first East Bay location in Walnut Creek’s Broadway Plaza next to Sur La Table. Check out their collection here.
From their website:
We spent two years designing our Signature Rayon made from Bamboo, and we continue to fine-tune it along with our knitted and woven fabrics. We chose to use fabrics made from bamboo because they are incredibly soft, have an elegant drape, and wear well. Bamboo fabrics are breathable, thermal regulating, non-irritating, and highly absorbent, wicking moisture away from the skin 4 times faster than cotton. It is long lasting, comfortable, and easier to care for than silk or wool.
