Back in September I noted that the Dublin based bakery and restaurant Denica’s would be opening a Walnut Creek location (in the Nob Hill shopping center) and they are now open (h/t Patch). Check out their menu here. This looks like a good place for brunch, anyone go yet? What do you recommend? When I dropped by they had various sample trays with cookies above the pastry counter. They also offer fruit-infused water which is a nice touch.
Check out the pastry counter:

1601 N. Main St, Walnut Creek
Last week I posted a preview of an eclectic new bike store called Rivendell Bike, Book & Hatchet and they are now open on N. Main St. in downtown Walnut Creek. In addition to bikes they sell books, hatchets, clothing and various accessories such as pinetar soap, bamboo banks and more. You’ll just have to drop by and check it out for yourself. It’s quite cool.
I don’t know much about bicycles but they look amazing. Take a look at one of their models in the photo below.
A selection of books are on the other side with clothing and accessories in the middle:
