It seems like just yesterday but the stationery store Papyrus closed almost two years ago in downtown Walnut Creek and they are finally coming to the backside of Broadway Plaza near Nordstrom.

A reader asks:
Are there any ice cream trucks that operate in Walnut Creek? Our neighborhood is holding a block party next month and we’d love to get an ice cream truck to stop by.

Victoria’s Secret has relocated to a new spot within Broadway Plaza on the backside near Macy’s. PINK, their college-focused shop opened next door. As you can see in the photo below, they also have a window display on the garage side driving on S. Broadway, although there is no entrance from that side.

It’s been a long two year wait but Boudin Bakery & Cafe is finally back in a new spot next to Nordstrom in Broadway Plaza in downtown Walnut Creek and the new spot where they are located is SO much better than their former spot next to Macy’s. While the former spot felt claustrophobic due to lack of space and lighting, this new spot sees the light of day, literally, with giant windows allowing plenty of natural sunlight in. The larger space has plenty more seating as well as outdoor tables as well as a long section along the wall to line up.
I tried the classic BBQ pork sandwich with coleslaw and it was great. They also offer burgers which I don’t believe they offered in their old location. I also saw a beer and wine sign on the wall which will go great with their sourdough offerings. In addition to dishes they also offer sliced bread (sourdough, cinnamon raisin and multigrain).

Several shops in the recently opened backside section of Broadway Plaza are ones that have relocated within the plaza or from downtown Walnut Creek, but one completely new one is the children’s clothing store Hanna Andersson. Interestingly they also carry women’s clothing. Check out their website here.

Starbucks-owned Teavana has opened next to of all places, Starbucks, in Broadway Plaza at their recently opened location across from Macy’s in downtown Walnut Creek. This is no ordinary Teavana though and is one of the few concept stores to focus on loose leaf teas where there are even mixing bowls to combine one’s loose tea selection. In addition to hot tea samples there is also an iced tea sample area with four sweetened iced teas. When I mentioned to them it might be nice to offer one unsweetened iced tea they said they have been directed to use only sweetened teas. OK, then, sweetened teas it is.

The main part of Broadway Plaza reopened at the end of last year with several new stores moving in (NYX Cosmetics, Vince Camuto, Madewell and more), as well as several relocations and this week the backside of Broadway Plaza reopened, also with new stores opening and others relocating such as GAP from downtown Walnut Creek. It’s still a work in progress as stores open up over the next few months, not to mention Zara coming to the former location of the Macy’s Men’s store.
How do you think the Broadway Plaza redevelopment turned out? Do you like the lounge areas? Of all the stores I like the GAP design the best. Now I’m waiting for Boudin and True Kitchen to open… What are you looking forward to opening?
