ECHO Grove, the gift shop featuring a “curated collection of handmade goods” which opened a couple of years ago in Orinda Theatre Square is closing next month. If you’re looking for that perfect gift in Orinda check out this gift guide from WHAT’S UP DOWNTOWN.
From their Facebook page:
We will be finishing out this holiday season and will have a limited schedule in January to handle returns and the wind down of the shop.
Come down to the Grove and get 25% everything in the store and 65% off of all clearance items. Plus we will be making deals on fixtures and store equipment. All the gifts you’ve come to love, now much cheaper than before.

Last week we learned about a new food hall planned for downtown Walnut Creek across from the Century Movie Theater called The Foundry, and now that the planning commission meeting is over check out the renderings of what it’s going to look like. In addition to multiple buildings featuring close to 10,000 square feet of dining space, there will be a patio in back as well as a rooftop dining area. You can even spot a koi pond in back which makes sense considering the developer is responsible for the secret koi pond behind Va de Vi around the corner.
With condo developments sprouting left and right in downtown Walnut Creek I’m glad the developer chose to put a food hall instead and look forward to seeing what kinds of cuisine will be available.
