An “authentic Taiwanese individual hotpot and boba tea” restaurant called Tasty Pot is coming soon to a newly remodeled section in the Park ‘N’ Shop in Concord. Check out their menu here.
Our boiling hotpot soups are purposefully designed to leverage the natural taste of the various ingredients and are seasoned with seasonings imported from Taiwan, real meat bones, and cabbage. Each location is tastefully designed to provide a comfortable dining experience. As such, we are the perfect place for your dining needs from a romantic first date to a bonding family dinner.
This week we learned that the salad restaurant sweetgreen would be coming to downtown Walnut Creek, and based on what I’m reading from the comments, it looks like not only do they not accept cash, they don’t even accept credit cards as all purchases must be made through their app.
I remember a couple of years ago buying food at Amazon Go where you just grab what you want, walk out and the Amazon app charges your account automatically. Pretty nifty. Not sure how I feel about having to download an app for every Tom, Dick and Harry store I want to shop at. What do you think about cashless shops?
Late last year, we learned that First Mile Cycle Works would be opening in Lafayette, and they are now open. In addition to carrying brands like COMMENCAL, BlackHeart Bike Company and Marin Bikes, they also offer maintenance and maintenance clinics to make sure your bike is in tip-top shape.
Thanks to a reader for sending word that the salad restaurant sweetgreen is coming to downtown Walnut Creek where Z Gallerie used to be. This location will be split in two, with sweetgreen taking up the front section near Locust St. Check out their menu here.
Our core values guide our actions and we aim to empower our customers, team members and partners to be a positive force on the food system. That’s why we’re building a transparent supply network, why we cook from scratch, and why we’re building a community of people who believe in the power of real food.
Last month we learned that Dumpling Hours would be coming to downtown Walnut Creek, and their soft opening will be this Thursday, August 12th. This is the same owner as Dumpling House in San Francisco when I inquired inside. Check out their menu here.
Now that we know that the new Delta Covid-19 variant is so infectious, so much so that masking is now required indoors in Contra Costa county, are you worried about getting breakthrough Covid if you’re vaccinated? Or is it just the same old, same old and believe it won’t be serious because your vaccinated?
In May, we learned that Men’s Wearhouse temporarily relocated within Plaza Escuela in downtown Walnut Creek where Forever 21 used to be while their original location was remodeled, and they are now back to this spot. Check out their online shop here.
This photo of a “MASKS ARE RECOMMENDED (We’re staying up to date with CDC guidelines and our local mandates)” sign at a store in downtown Walnut Creek was taken just over the weekend and it’s already out of data as Contra Costa Health Services issued a mandate yesterday requiring mask wearing indoors. Although unfortunate, this makes more sense than their previous mandate “recommending” indoor mask wearing.
Vaccination continues to protect against severe COVID-19 illness, but with the COVID-19 Delta variant now infecting a small percentage of vaccinated people as well as many unvaccinated people, eight Bay Area health officers have issued health orders requiring masks indoors in public places.
The orders require all individuals, regardless of vaccination status, to wear face coverings when indoors in public settings, with limited exceptions, starting at 12:01 a.m. on Tuesday, August 3rd.
Vaccines remain the most powerful tool in the fight against COVID-19, including the Delta variant. Nonetheless, the Delta variant is infecting a small percentage of the vaccinated in the Bay Area — who still remain strongly protected against severe illness, hospitalization, and death. In those instances of infection in a vaccinated person, a face covering prevents further spread. Bay Area health officials urge all unvaccinated residents 12 and older to get vaccinated as soon as possible.
