Things To Do
Walnut Creek Downtown
Downtown Walnut Creek is a great place to shop and explore, and is full of great restaurants, wine bars, and breweries.
Original Joe's Walnut Creek
The famous SF restaurant made its way over the bridge! Advance reservations strongly encouraged, as stand by wait times are often long.
Sweet Maple
We love breakfast/brunch here!
Melo's Italian Table
Highly recommend the Luca square or the spicy vodka rigatoni.
Maison Benoit
Swing by here for coffee! Authentic french pastries -- they won San Francisco's best croissant in 2025 (and they deserved it).
Domenico's Delicatessen
Great deli sandwiches with a bunch of homemade spread options.
Lafayette Reservoir
Take a walk around the Lafayette Reservoir or explore nearby trails—there are tons of scenic options with beautiful East Bay views. We recommend making a stop at Diablo Foods to grab a deli sandwich ahead of your walk so you can enjoy lunch outside.
Wine Tasting in Livermore
Livermore hosts some of the best wineries in the United States. We love McGrail, Wente, and Murrieta's Well, but you can't go wrong with any!
