Thanks to all who sent word… La Boulange Cafe in Walnut Creek has been closed less than a month but coming soon is Los Angeles-based Lemonade, serving “seasonal California comfort food”. More information in this Business Times article. Check out their “early fall 2015” southern California menu here.
From their Facebook page:
The concept is best described as Seasonal California Comfort Food in a fast-casual cafeteria setting. A comfortable place where locals and visitors enjoy a rotating daily spread of deliciousness: from ruggedly roasted Brussels sprouts to grain salads from around the world to stewed short ribs falling off the bone. Our dishes stress simple preparations with global taste, and are a perfect fit for today’s on-the-go lifestyle and perceptive palate.
Lemonade caters to people looking for a quick lunch or a healthy “grab and go” dinner for the family. The cafés have an emphasis on convenience and affordability, while serving the same fresh, high-quality, and innovative modern cuisine that the brand has become known for.
The food at Lemonade is as creative and diverse as the city’s inhabitants. Our marketplace salads, unique sandwiches, and slow-simmered stews taste as though every culture stirred a bit into the pot. For example, the skirt steak with grilled onions and piquillo peppers with its smoky depth, ping-pongs perfectly with our snappy salad of Chinese long beans, pluot plums, and scallion vinaigrette.
Based on the comments left on this Sign of the Day post, congrats to Rob with:

In March the travel club Inspirato closed in Broadway Plaza in downtown Walnut Creek and as you can see Nespresso is “coming soon” to this location. Check out their website here. Anyone use a Nespresso machine at home? How do you like it?
I bet this Suburu dealership isn’t thrilled about being on Mazda Drive! Spotted at the Suburu dealership on N. Main St. in Walnut Creek, formerly the Suburu/Mazda dealership. Add a caption for this photo in the comments section; best one gets a Beyond the Creek t-shirt.
A reader asks:
Do you know what’s going on with the massive chain link gates recently installed at the Walnut Creek BART station? Why are they there?
Anyone know?
