1342 Broadway Plaza, Walnut Creek
I can’t believe I’m writing this but Corners Tavern is closing in downtown Walnut Creek with their last day being Wednesday, July 10th. It was one of the first restaurants I previewed on this blog over seven years ago and enjoyed many meals here with my family over the years. Sad to see them go! 😢
Newell Promenade, Walnut Creek
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but the Vietnamese restaurant Pho Saigon closed recently at Newell Promenade in downtown Walnut Creek. Thanks to a reader for sending word about this. I imagine the remodeling going on there hasn’t helped, right?
Encina Grande, Walnut Creek
Rounding out a brutal week in Walnut Creek restaurant closings, Evie’s Hamburgers closed recently at the Encina Grande shopping center in Walnut Creek. This comes after Cinco de Mayo, Stanford’s, Tender Greens, and Andy Sushi, not to mention the jazz club Impulse Room closing, all with the last week or so. A new restaurant called Taqueria Magico is planning on opening in the former Evie’s spot in the beginning of August.

More restaurant action in downtown Walnut Creek as Andy Sushi, which opened a few years ago, closes, to be replaced by a new restaurant called Tacos Walnut Creek. Thanks to everyone who emailed about this and especially to one reader who also sent a photo.
1372 Locust St, Walnut Creek
Last month the Mexican restaurant Cinco de Mayo closed in downtown Walnut Creek and Patron Mexican Grill has now opened in this spot. Anyone try this place yet? How does it compare to Cinco?
1352 Locust St, Walnut Creek
The fast casual restaurant Tender Greens closed last Friday after eight years in downtown Walnut Creek. According to a sign in the window their lease was up and since this was their “poorest performing restaurant” they decided to not renew their lease. It’s been a couple of years since Lark Creek closed next door, but Bierhaus is planning to open in the fall in that spot. Interestingly, one employee I spoke with said the property is owned by the city and they didn’t budge on lowering the rent and he blamed the city for focusing on the Broadway Plaza area for development over this area.
If you miss Tender Greens you can always check out their Berkeley location which remains open.
Broadway Plaza, Walnut Creek
Thanks to a reader for sending word that Stanford’s closed today at Broadway Plaza in downtown Walnut Creek. It was packed when I checked them out last night to celebrate/mourn the last day in business. According to an employee the construction next door wasn’t helping…
From their website:
We’re sorry to announce Stanfords Walnut Creek is permanently closed.
We are thankful to have hosted so many of your celebrations and to have been a part of this wonderful community.
1558 Canyon Rd, Moraga
Last month we learned that Canyon Club Brewery would be opening on June 30th in Moraga but as you can see from the updated sign the new opening date is sometime in July. According to this Insta post, “it will only be a couple more weeks to get through final inspections and we’ll announce a new July opening date soon.” Check out their menu here.
Thanks to a reader for emailing.
