Corner Bakery Cafe is opening on June 3rd in the former Yan Can Asian Bistro location in the downtown Pleasant Hill shopping center. Check out their menu here. Anyone have favorite dishes to recommend?
From their website:
We started as a little bread bakery, supplying freshly baked bread to happy customers around town. People loved our breads so much, we couldn’t help but evolve into a cafe where we could serve equally remarkable sandwiches. This, of course, led to delightful sweets, savory panini, fresh salads, and hearty bowls of soups and pasta.
The inside is almost ready:
This is a wide shot of the location:
Corner Bakery Cafe is located at 35 Crescent Drive in Pleasant Hill.
Last month I posted about missing trees in front of the Apple Store on N. Main St. and now new trees have been planted. Glad to see a little bit of nature added back into the city. Does anyone know what kind of trees these are?

Back in February I posted some scuttlebutt about the frozen yogurt shop Pinkberry opening in downtown Walnut Creek right near The Cheesecake Factory. Based on the photo below as well as a UPS notice addressed to ‘Pinkberry’ and it’s obvious this indeed will be a Pinkberry.
Any Pinkberry fans out there? I love Pinkberry and since I also love Greek yogurt I can’t wait to try their new Greek Yogurt selections! I also think this cements this area as being the fast food mecca of Walnut Creek. Ike’s, Bukhorn Grill, Chipotle, Panera, Starbucks and now Pinkberry.
Thanks to a reader for sending this in. Spotted at the Art on the Main festival in downtown Walnut Creek at a jewelry booth. The sign says, “Your Husband Just Called… He Said To Buy Anything You Want”.
Thanks to a reader for sending word that Maserati of Walnut Creek has opened up in the former Saab location on N. Broadway near Ygnacio Valley Rd. So if you notice more Maseratis around town you’ll know why. And if Maseratis don’t suit you they also carry Ferraris in their showroom.
