New Grounds Café is right by the Wallhouse Hotel in Walnut Creek. I have actually passed by here on our previous trips and thought it might be an interesting place to stop.
This restaurant is very deceptive. From the outside, I wasn't sure if it was coffee shop or a general restaurant, or what exactly.
Once inside though, we realized that this is just a cool place. It is huge too. They had lots of seating, a pool room, a reading room, a big screen tv, etc. If I were a young kid in Walnut Creek, this would be my hangout.
It seems they are doing the Christian café thing that has become sort of common these days. I am not sure exactly what all they are doing, but I did see a book donation box, and a community message board.
This place reminded me of the arcade type cafes I remember from the 80s. Big, roomy, lots going on, AND good food!
We ordered a small pizza and calzone and they were both great and filling. In fact, either one would have been a meal for two. We took enough back with us to make another meal out of it.
