Vapor Lounge is an electronic cigarette shop that also offers e-cigars, e-hookahs and eJuice which opened over the summer. Check out their website here. Along with Just e-Cigs which opened in downtown Walnut Creek, it looks like electronic cigarettes are here to stay in Walnut Creek.

A couple of weeks ago I noted that the men’s boutique Atlas was moving from their N. Main St. location to Botelho Dr. across the street from Men’s Wearhouse in downtown Walnut Creek and they are now open. As I suspected the numerous windows really help show off what they offer and the inside looks great like in their old location:

Denica’s Cafe – Real Food Kitchen, the Dublin based bakery and restaurant is planning on opening a new location in Walnut Creek this fall (in the Nob Hill shopping center) and are having a job fair tomorrow at their Dublin location for all three locations (Dublin, Walnut Creek and Livermore) according to a Craigslist posting here. Has anyone tried this place? What’s your favorite dish? Diablo Dish has more information Denica’s Cafe here. Thanks to a reader for the reminder that they are opening soon.

The Children’s Place has closed in downtown Walnut Creek at the corner of S. Main St. and Botelho Dr. so you’ll have to head out to the Sunvalley Mall in Concord for the nearest location of this children’s clothing store. Although it’s a nice corner location it seems a bit removed from the more bustling Broadway Plaza area and Locust St. where the Cheesecake Factory is, both only a block away.

Back in February I noted that the Davidson & Licht jewelry store plan on moving from Broadway Plaza to the building they own on N. Main St. where Wish and Vanessa’s Bistro used to be. Looks like progress is being made as both storefronts are completely boarded up.
