The poke craze continues… Last December we learned that the frozen yogurt shop Blush was closing in Walnut Creek (near Whole Foods), to be replaced by Pokeatery, and they have now opened. There are two other Bay Area locations (San Mateo and Castro Valley) with Walnut Creek being their first franchise location. Check out their Walnut Creek menu here and find out more on their website here. I look forward to trying out a Dole whip float (see photo below)!
From a press release:
Inspired by the love of the Hawaiian Islands, Pokeatery founders, Joann and Derek Chung, wanted to bring some of their favorite flavors to the mainland and offer a place where anyone could come and enjoy great poké bowls as a meal whenever they crave it. Pokeatery has taken the Hawaiian flavors of poké and updated them with a modern California twist, offering several delicious varieties made with sashimi-grade Ahi, Albacore, Salmon and more. Their sustainably-sourced, quality seafood menu is complemented with quality produce and ingredients. Pokeatery offers a wide variety of bases, sauces and toppings, allowing customers to create customizable poké bowls in a fast casual atmosphere.
