Honey Berry, a cafe that opened about a year ago and sold roti buns and ice cream among other things has closed in downtown Walnut Creek. Taking its place is a Persian bakery called Haleh Pastry Shop, from Campbell. Check out some photos of their baked goods here. I can’t wait to try this place!
I wonder what’s going to happen to Rinehart’s Gelato Clock…


3737 Valley Vista Rd, Walnut Creek
In September we learned that Valley Vista Tennis Club was slated to close by January and now word on the street is that they are being bought by Carondelet, an all-girls private Catholic high school in Concord which is currently doing due diligence. It looks like the plan is to tear out some tennis courts for a soccer/lacrosse field and possibly allow Valley Vista club members use of the courts during non-school hours.
Considering the club is not being sold to housing developers this looks like a positive development for members assuming they are allowed to use the courts, however, what will this mean for USTA players who are unable to use the overcrowded Heather Farm tennis courts?

In September we learned that the New York-based activewear shop Yogasmoga would be opening in Broadway Plaza in downtown Walnut Creek and they have now opened where the Athleta popup store used to be, next to Starbucks. However, according to the store manager they will be relocating to the soon-to-be vacated lululemon store, which will be relocating to Broadway Plaza this spring. Talk about musical chairs…
