Broadway Pointe, Walnut Creek
I’ve lost count of how many boba cafes have been in this spot at Broadway Pointe in downtown Walnut Creek: iTea → Teapot → Li Cha Tea — and now The BOBA Lounge. Have I missed any other boba shops at this location? Check out their menu here.

The Veranda, Concord
Espetus Brazilian Steak House opened last year at The Veranda in Concord, replacing Texas de Brazil. I dropped by the other day and it looked like a great place to watch the World Cup on the outdoor patio with a giant TV showing the final match. Check out their menu here.
From their website:
Gaúcho chefs slowly grill choice cuts of skewered rotisserie meats over an open flame to capture the authentic flavor and texture of each distinctive cut. A parade of meats is continuously offered and carved tableside by Gaúcho Chefs, evoking the fireside meals of the open plains.

Moraga Shopping Center
Thanks to a reader for sending word that Wayside Social is coming to Moraga Shopping Center where La Finestra Ristorante used to be. As seen in the sign below, in addition to burgers, fries, shakes, soft serve and alcohol, there will also be an arcade which should be exciting! Check for updates on their Insta here.


Willows Shopping Center, Concord
Willows Shopping Center is finally upping their game, probably due to next door Veranda, with California Fish Grill opening there recently. Check out their menu here.
