Manicini’s Sleepworld Opening Late June in Former Giggle Location in Walnut Creek

May 30, 2013 8:30 am

Last month I noted that Mancini’s Sleepworld would be moving a few blocks from their Locust St. location to N. Main St. where the baby store Giggle used to be and the signs are now up. According to a Mancini’s employee I spoke with they’re planning for a mid to late June opening.

Yesterday Diablo Style mentioned that the men’s clothing store JoS. A. Banks would be opening up in this location but as you can see by the sign Mancini’s is definitely opening here. I would have thought a clothing store would have worked well here but that’s not going to happen now.

Corner Bakery Cafe Opening June 3rd in Pleasant Hill

May 21, 2013 11:30 am

Corner Bakery Cafe is opening on June 3rd in the former Yan Can Asian Bistro location in the downtown Pleasant Hill shopping center. Check out their menu here. Anyone have favorite dishes to recommend?

From their website:

We started as a little bread bakery, supplying freshly baked bread to happy customers around town. People loved our breads so much, we couldn’t help but evolve into a cafe where we could serve equally remarkable sandwiches. This, of course, led to delightful sweets, savory panini, fresh salads, and hearty bowls of soups and pasta.

The inside is almost ready:

This is a wide shot of the location:

Corner Bakery Cafe is located at 35 Crescent Drive in Pleasant Hill.

Scuttlebutt Confirmed – Pinkberry Opening Soon in Walnut Creek

May 20, 2013 11:30 am

Back in February I posted some scuttlebutt about the frozen yogurt shop Pinkberry opening in downtown Walnut Cre ek right near The Cheesecake Factory. Based on the photo below as well as a UPS notice addressed to ‘Pinkberry’ and it’s obvious this indeed will be a Pinkberry.

Any Pinkberry fans out there? I love Pinkberry and since I also love Greek yogurt I can’t wait to try their new Greek Yogurt selections! I also think this cements this area as being the fast food mecca of Walnut Creek. Ike’s, Bukhorn Grill, Chipotle, Panera, Starbucks and now Pinkberry.
