[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These are great observations. Thanks, PP.

When we looked in Orinda, we noticed there was only one grocery store. Do people drive to Lafayette to do their shopping? Is it a pain to get there if you don't go right in the middle of the afternoon, when there is the least amount of traffic? Trying to figure out if Orinda -- Lafayette -- Walnut Creek is similar to how NOVA works, where people travel between Arlington, Tysons and Falls Church to get their daily errands completed.

I know overall there is more traffic there, but wondering how shuttling my kids around while doing the shopping, etc. is going to work. In this case, I see the benefits of Danville where everything is right there. (But again, you only visited your friends once!!)[/quote]

I live in Orinda. I usually get Good Eggs delivery for grocery.  I also go to While Foods in Lafayette a fair amount.  Takes about 10-15 minutes.  If I need something from Safeway, I can get it while at WF or I will stop by Orinda Safeway.  There is also Diablo Foods in lafayette but I'm not a huge fan.  I do like Lunardi's In Pleasant Hill, but that's a little farther (although on my way home from work).

I think Orinda and Lafayette are pretty interchangeable, although Lafayette has more traffic, but also more restaurants, etc. From Orinda, I find it almost as easy to go into Berkeley or Oakland as Lafayette and WC and I prefer Berkeley or Oakland (Berkeley Bowl is a grocery store to die for!!!).[/quote]
