Just in time for the end of a hot summer the ice cream on a stick shop Popbar recently opened at the Veranda shopping center in Concord. Check out their menu here. In addition to pops they also offer a unique gelatoShake “served in a milk-jug style cup with a chocolate dipped waffle cone overflowing with whipped cream”. Check it out here.

Cool Tea Bar, which opened last summer in Danville, has been renamed Koala Tea Cafe. In addition to boba drinks they now offer sweet and savory crepes, ice cream, coffee, slushies and smoothies. I had a simple root beer float for $3.50 which was well worth it on a hot summer day!

The Chinese restaurant Wonderland closed earlier this month and Nanking Bistro has now reopened in its place on Hartz Ave. in Danville next to Fosters Freeze. Check out their menu here. I wonder how their house wings compares to my favorite at San Tung on Irving St. in San Francisco?

Poke Bowl opened recently at the Veranda shopping center in Concord in a small spot across from the movie theater. Plenty of outdoor seating. I tried locating their website without luck as poke bowl is pretty generic, does anyone know their website, FB or Insta?
