1387 Locust St, Walnut Creek

Crogan’s Bar & Grill in downtown Walnut Creek recently had its alcoholic beverage license suspended so they are closed until May 7th. According to the California Department of Beverage Control the reasons for suspension were “created conditions contrary to public welfare and morals” and “disorderly premises”.

Thanks to a reader for sending word that the McDonalds in downtown Walnut Creek at the corner of N. California Blvd. and Cypress St. will be closing in July. I dropped by recently and a manager there did say that they would be closing in mid-July.

Last December we learned that 54 Mint would be opening a new location in downtown Walnut Creek and they are now scheduled for a May 1st opening. This will be an Italian style bakery (Pasticceria) and pizzeria serving breakfast and lunch until 7pm.

I checked out a preview of the menu and it includes sweet breakfast items such as “Brioche with pastry cream and fruit”, “Cannoli puff pastry with pastry cream”, savory breakfast items such as “Pizza sfoglia (puff pastry pizza) with ham and cheese” and “Pizza sfoglia eggs and pancetta”. For lunch, rectangular pizza slices will be available based on a focaccia crust with various toppings. I tried a piece of focaccia there and it tasted great, can’t wait to try this place out! Desserts such as tiramisu and “panna cotta with berries” will also be available.

Take a look at a sneak preview inside:
