1506 N. Main St, Walnut Creek
The boba tea cafe Sinceretea opened in downtown Walnut Creek over the weekend and being the boba tea and egg puff fan I am of course I had to try things out. According to the collective judgement of my children and I our favorites were definitely the egg puffs. Both the seasonal red velvet as well as chocolate flavors were delicious. It did take a while to make but it’s worth the wait. The drinks were enjoyable as well. They have a sample drink by the register to try with the default 50% sweetness which can be adjusted when ordering. Check out their menu here.



Willows Shopping Center, Concord
The Italian restaurant MidiCi opened recently at the Willows shopping center in Concord. Check out their pizza menu here and appetizer menu here. Interestingly, there is a living tree in the middle of the restaurant, “a symbol of tradition and a witness of eras gone by”.


1500 Monument Blvd, Concord
A new Mexican restaurant called Taqueria Mariscos opened several month ago in Concord on Monument Blvd.

2115 Pacheco St, Concord
Last fall we learned that the vegetarian restaurant Lettuce Inn would be relocating around the block in Concord and they have now reopened still right near Todos Santos Plaza. As you can see from the photo below the inside is a lot more spacious and looks great. Check out the Lettuce Inn menu here and find out more about The Lettuce Inn here.

The boba tea cafe Sinceretea will be opening in downtown Walnut Creek this Saturday, February 16th, where, “all drinks are BOGO free on 2/16-2/17!” Check out their menu here. This will be a record fifth boba tea cafe located downtown. I look forward to pairing a drink with my favorite, mochi egg puffs. 😋😋😋


City Center Bishop Ranch, San Ramon
Roam Artisan Burgers opened their sixth location today at the new City Center Bishop Ranch shopping plaza in San Ramon. Check out their menu here. Every time I go to their Lafayette restaurant I always get the Tejano burger. Count me in as a huge fan. With Boba Guys and Slanted Door also open in the plaza, this place keeps getting better and better in terms of the food options.


2050 Diamond Blvd, Concord
Golden Corral, the buffet restaurant we learned would be opening across from the Veranda shopping center in Concord, is set to open very soon, possibly next Tuesday according to one email I received. Check out nutrition details for their menu items here.

1980 Galindo St, Concord
Thanks to a reader for sending word that Bangkok Kitchen will be closing on Valentine’s Day in Concord. They have been serving customers since 1994 and haven’t decided whether they will be relocating elsewhere. Check out their website here.
This is the same development that was included in the Shops at Todos Santos sale from a couple of years and is why stores and restaurants are scrambling to relocate or end up closing.
