We kept hoping the doors would reopen soon, that maybe a remodel was underway or the owner took a European vacation.
But a Thursday visit to Yogurt Castle on North California Boulevard confirmed our worst fears — the decades-old yogurt shop in the cool building is closed for good.
The interior is stripped. There is no contact information or forwarding address.
Yogurt Castle is gone.
It has been a part of Walnut Creek for so many years. We're hoping to hear from people with memories of the place.

Wasn't there a connection between this place and Yogurt Park over in Broadway Plaza? Did Yogurt Castle ever go by the name "Yogurt Park"? Or am I totally off on that?
Allinger's brick building heritage was started by I believe an uncle back in the 1930's - 1950's and included the "Castle" on an estate on Danville Blvd... the estate property was eventually sold and subdivided and now known as Stonecastle. The estate buildings still exist and the main house sold 6 months ago.
