Back in April I noted that the Berkeley-based ice cream shop CREAM would be opening this summer in Walnut Creek and this weekend I dropped by to check out the inside as work progresses. From what I hear it will be opening late July, early August.
The home decor and gift shop Hen House has closed in downtown Lafayette. In business since 2001, they were located at Lafayette Circle right across the street from Starbucks. They may be doing Ebay sales though. From their website:

In April I noted that the restaurant Vitality Bowls was coming to Walnut Creek and as of now they plan on opening late July according to the owner. They also have locations in San Ramon and Pleasanton where I recently tried my first vitality bowl which contains Acai blended with coconut milk, apple juice, bananas, strawberries, flax seed and topped with organic granola, bananas, strawberries, goji berries and honey. Check out their complete menu here. I really enjoyed it, would have this for dessert or breakfast again. They also offer sandwiches, salads and smoothies.
Spotted in front of Pyramid Alehouse in downtown Walnut Creek. Anyone know what model and year this is?

A couple of weeks ago I noted that Mancini’s Sleepworld was opening in the former Giggle baby store on N. Main St. in downtown Walnut Creek and of course that means their old location on Locust St. is closing. Since this space will be available what would you like to see?
See’s Candies is opening at 9:30am today according to a sign in the window at the Lafayette Plaza Center near Whole Foods. According to a See’s employee in the Walnut Creek location this is not replacing the Broadway Plaza location which eventually will close along with other Broadway Plaza stores. The Walnut Creek See’s location plans on relocating somewhere in downtown Walnut Creek.
Check out the inside of the Lafayette store:
See’s Candies is located at 3518 Mt. Diablo Blvd in the Lafayette Plaza Center, a few stores down from Whole Foods.
