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…

San Miguel Center, Walnut Creek
Looks like it’s time for Dunkin’ Donuts (and coffee) fans to celebrate; according to the latest permit information from Walnut Creek a Dunkin’ Donuts is coming to the San Miguel Center in Walnut Creek diagonally across from Whole Foods and across the street from Broadway Plaza where the parking garage is located. Check out their bakery menu here. Stay tuned to see if this actually happens.
Anyone know what’s going on with the temporary orange fences at 680S between Walnut Creek and Danville?
From a reader:
The fences go from Danville to Walnut Creek and in some places are pretty elaborate-like at the Alamo onramp to I-680 South. I can’t figure out why they need these things.
Willows Shopping Center, Concord
UPDATE According to the owner The Jungle is not closing. They “got short lease extension and working on long term lease“.
The indoor children’s play center The Jungle, with massive amounts of jungle gym structures throughout is closing sometime early next year in Willows Shopping Center in Concord, possibly this spring according to an employee I spoke with. Taking its place will be a giant Total Wine shop based on its 15,000 sf footprint. Stay tuned…
