Broadway Plaza, Walnut Creek

Back in September we learned that the espresso machine maker Nespresso would be opening in Broadway Plaza in downtown Walnut Creek and they have now opened in a temporary popup location before relocating in the new redevelopment along the main road possibly in February.

As a tea drinker I wasn’t familiar with these at all so learned a lot and enjoyed an Americano drink with plenty of foam on top which looked great. They sell machines that make both espresso and coffee or just espresso, but since they are from Europe they don’t sell coffee makers by itself. The capsules (not pods) are different for making coffee (more expensive) and espresso (less expensive) and are available for purchase at the store. Check out a comparison of the machines here.

Walnut Creek Target

Check out the four reserved parking spaces now reserved at the Target parking lot in Walnut Creek. Looks like this is related to the app Curbside where you can order stuff and have it delivered without even getting out of your car. Interesting…

1301 N. Main Street, Walnut Creek

Last year we learned that the clothing store Vineyard Vines would be coming to the new development at 1500 Mt. Diablo Blvd. in downtown Walnut Creek, and the pink whale signage is now visible on the windows. This is the same building where the pizzeria Slice House is planning on opening early 2016.
