Oakland Restaurant Week 2025 Starts Today. Here’s What to Know About Where to Eat. | Eater SF

"A brunch hotspot where San Franciscans 'spend an hour or so waiting in line for a taste of that Millionaire’s Bacon'; the business expanded quietly to Walnut Creek on Monday, February 24, marking a fifth outpost." - Paolo Bicchieri

Nice environment with a solid menu — the food is tasty and portions are generous. The brunch itself was definitely enjoyable and nicely presented. Coffee, however, was just okay — not bad, but lacking the coffee aroma and nothing special compared to the food menu. Overall, a good spot if you’re looking for a nice brunch experience with friends for casual gathering.

After being seated and food ordered, the food came out in good timing (except for last plate which server apologized) We were a party of 9 so lotta of food to organize and prep. The food and drinks presentation was very lovely. The food was tasty and portion size was perfect. I got the chicken croffle and had a taste of the French toast. Would like to come back and try other items on the menu. The biggest disappointment was the wait to be seated. We waited for 1 hr and 45 mins. They should have like a 2 hour limit per table on weekends when it’s busy so people don’t just sit there after paying and would give other customers to enjoy the dining experience.

I've been to the San Francisco location many times in the past, so was curious to try this newer location ever since it opened. Went with my wife for breakfast. We shared a Millionaire's Bacon Flight. My wife ordered the Tornado Galbi Omurice with a Salad, and I had the Savory Soufflegg Skillet with a side of the Hot Pepper Bacon Jam. The prices are very high, between 2 of us we spent $130 for 2 entrees, a salad, a bacon flight, and 2 drinks. But the food was very tasty and we did enjoy it. There seemed to be some unique menu items not on the SF location menu, but there were no flavored ketchups like the SF location has. It did have a nice fancy atmosphere and you could taste the care put into the food quality.

1. Ambiance and decor is nice and clean. 2. Bathroom is clean 3. Good for family, date, brunch with the girls 4. Ordered sizzling stonepot and cesar salad with a side of squid: -- sizzling stonepot was good. Pretty much a bibimbap. Flavorful and big portion. -- cesar salad was ok. Too much cheese on the salad. Squid was very bland. As for the latte drink, it was rich and good. 5. Service was good. 6. There was just these flies that kept buzzing around our table and the table next to us which was annoying. 7. Wait time is an hour plus so be ready to have the patience to wait. I would recommend to go on their waitlist online. Will go back to try other food on the menu.

Excellent brunch place! We heard about it but didn’t get a chance to try it. Stopped by on a weekday lunch. No wait time. We sat on the patio area. It’s a bit warm but food was so delicious that we didn’t mind melting in the warm sun.

Lovely and bright place for brunch. Good food and excellent service. Looks like Millionaires Bacon is what they are famous for but didn't get to try it. Everything we ate was delicious. Will be back for sure

I have been waiting for Sweet Maple to come to the East Bay and it did not disappoint! The ube latte was on truly an ube flavor. So good! The croissant waffle was the bomb and so was the French toast. The star of the show was the millionaire’s bacon. Delish! Met the owner “A” and he was super nice and hooked us up with a table on a busy Sunday afternoon when they weren’t taking anymore waitlist. I will come back with more friends! Update: Came for 2nd time and ordered the fried stuffed french toast! Ugh, so so good! The best! I suggest you share with the table. It’s a lot. And the Tornado Galbi Omurice is the die for!

Another wonderful brunch at Sweet Maple. It seems that every time we visit family in the area, we like to arrive early to enjoy brunch. Not going to say it's because of the bacon but, it's mostly the bacon. We will be back.

Food was delicious but I was blown away by the sky high prices of a glass of orange juice and a cup of coffee. The ambiance is bright due to expansive windows but not so extraordinary as to justify the prohibitively expensive beverages. In these times of 'belt-tightening', as a retired senior, not likely to be patronizing very often I'd rather make the drive to Napa Valley for an outing to have brunch at a Michelin worthy restaurant, namely at Auberge Du Soleil!!!

My husband & I went for brunch and whereas the ambiance and aesthetic is top tier, I don't believe the food matched up. We both had the Marnier French Toast, eggs, and Million $ bacon. The French Toast was luke warm and had cracked salt on it which made it way too salty to even tolerate, also the bread tasted stale. The bacon was for sure not worth the price. $15 for 2 slices of bacon that was cold and more like jerky as it didn't have bacon consistency. It was spicy and a couple bites of 1 slice was enough for me. Eggs were standard but also not hot. I unfortunately won't go back because $100 brunch for 2 was definitely not worth it.

The Marnier French Toast is absurdly good and I always get the Millionaires Bacon as well! My girlfriend and I love sweet maple! It's a Sunday staple

My friend recommended this place, and my girlfriend and I are so glad we came for brunch! The location is a little tricky to find, but there's parking available. Inside, you're greeted with a warm welcome and beautiful lighting--great for photos. I ordered a simple egg plate with toast and bacon, and it was so good (some of the best toast and bacon I've had!). I skipped the million-dollar bacon this time, but it's on my list for next time. The orange juice was fresh-squeezed and refreshing. My girlfriend had the seafood omelet and loved it. We also thought it was really sweet that dogs on the patio were immediately given a bowl of water! I thought this was sweet for the pups! The only regret was not having room for the mini pancakes--but that just means we'll be back. Great food, dog-friendly patio, and attentive service made this a five-star experience.

Went to brunch with the girls this weekend and we had planned on going to either The Royale or Crumbs, but we heard that it may be very busy because those two restaurants just opened up recently. I had wanted to go to Sweet Maple for some time now, so I suggested it to the group. Because it was a Saturday, I expected it to be a wait. We joined the waitlist at the kiosk and there the estimated wait time was between 11-26 minutes, not so bad. Our party was called in about 5 minutes; super fast! It was very busy inside and outside (they have outdoor seating). All the tables were taken! I decided to get the Blackstone Benedict because I wanted to enjoy the Millionaire's Bacon with my meal lol. The portion was perfect and I was able to finish a majority of my plate (besides some potatoes). It wasn't too heavy and actually felt lighter than some benedict I've had. The lemon hollandaise was a bit too citrusy for me though. It seems that the girls also enjoyed their meals as well. We had the Korean fried chicken bites as an appetizer to share and that was a favorite amongst the group. We would definitely come back!

Lucked out & got a reservation for 2 @Sweet Maple in Walnut Creek. If you are a fan of the Kitchen Story Restaurants, you will like Sweet Maple. They are associated with Kitchen Story. The food did not disappoint. We ordered the Tornado Omurice w/braised short rib meat (My Favorite), my niece had the Crab sandwich with fries, made w/real crab which she enjoyed. Grand Marnier French Toast and side order of Candy Bacon & Korean Chicken. The Expresso Martini was yummy & my niece had the Ube Latte. Out of all dishes we tried the French toast was alright. It was a very thick french toast. The edges were dry, but the middle was moist & had that custard taste, it was not bad but nothing special. Our res was for Sun 9:45 AM, we arrived 5 mins early & was seated right away, but there was no line outside. Not a big place, but they do have table inside & tables outside on their nice patio. The decor was chic modern & comfortable. The staff were attentive & polite. The food came out quickly. I will be coming back again to try their Soufflé egg dish & their Blueberry Cloud French Toast. When we left there a line outside waiting. I recommend you try and make reservations.

Came here today with my family was highly recommended by my sister in law so decided to stop by. I was disappointed in the service!! Read till the end. No wait time today so we got sat down as soon as we arrived. We all had the ube latte which I didn't like It tasted like milk no flavor. And No coffee at all. Every place I've been to with ube latte it comes with coffee and this did not. So 0/10 for that drink. I ordered chick sandwich it was good had great flavor 8/10 My sister ordered noodles and they were great as well, the flavor was good 7/10 I would have to admit they are a little pricey for what it is. Petite pancakes had no fluf and were dry so 2/10 Where this placed lacked and made me feel a little discriminated was when I asked for an extra plate because I was going to share half my sandwich with my mom and she was going to give me a few of the mini pancakes they came over to us with paper plates. I've NEVER EVER been to a restaurant and had someone bring me paper plates. Spent $200 here to be given paper plates :/ was charged a 20% tip fee wich I almost felt like wasn't deserved. People next to our table asked for an extra plate because they were sharing too and they got the regular glass plate. So I'm not sure why we were given paper plates. Maybe because we were speaking Spanish? I'd hate to think that but I can't find another reason why? It even looked bad and almost embarrassing to have paper plates on our table.

Ok so here we go to Walnut Creek with our dogs and we have no idea where to go for lunch. I was looking around and around and finally found sweet maple. I put yelp reservations down but by the time we found parking in horrible downtown.... We arrived and had 5 minutes to sit, order our food, and our drinks all at the same time. Interesting fact, there are two gates for outside seating, but rather than taking us out that way, we walked through the whole restaurant with two large fluffy dogs. Thought that was weird but hey everyone loves our dogs! Walking through the restaurant, it's modern and really nice, the chairs to the tables look super comf You can see from the photo everything arrived at the same time. All four drinks and our food came out first. That was strange, cause the drink is suppose to come out first so you can enjoy it. Anyways, the patio is great. Everyone had their dogs out and about. It was enjoyable. The negative I have to say, is when we got our food, the ratio of ingredient in the sandwiches were very small. So basically it was a lot of bread. The French fries were delicious. But the "million$" bacon wasn't really worth it. I'll come back if I get their on time. So I can enjoy my drinks and food. The other thing which was welded is my food came out first and the. My partner's food came second. So basically they really don't know timing.

Incredible. I love the SF location, so I was so excited to hear a location opened closer in Walnut Creek. Service: wonderful!! We seemed to have two servers, but no complaints! Both were attentive and kind. Also hot tip - we came in on a Saturday morning, expecting a wait. I looked on Yelp and joined the waitlist. By the time we arrived, we were seated. Ambiance: Think minimalist chic. The overall vibe was calming, and the location was just the best. It's tucked away, but close enough to walk to Broadway Plaza. Food: AMAZINGGGG. We ordered the the Millionaires Bacon and Petit Pancakes to start. Super yummy and filling. Then I ordered the short ribs pot (highly recommend!!) my friend ordered the sizzling stone pot, one disclaimer, the portions for the entrees were really big. Honestly we could've ordered one entree and it would have been more than enough. So good!! I look forward to coming back!!

As a regular at their SF location, I finally had the opportunity to try Sweet Maple's new location in Walnut Creek! At all locations, you can expect them to open at either 8am or 8:30am and close at either 2:30pm or 3pm. With Walnut Creek's location, their hours are 8:00am-2:30pm daily! Easy to remember, right? [+1 star] Online Waiting List. At the time of writing this, Walnut Creek is the ONLY location that has a waitlist that you can join ahead from. Note: you must be within 40 miles of the location to be able to place your name down. Otherwise the system won't let you move forward. This is a fantastic perk. You might think that the radius is generous (and it is - a lot places have a radius set for 10 miles, or even 5 miles). You know there absolutely will be lines here, so why not see how the wait is online and then put a name down when you're at home getting ready! If you do put a name down in advance and can no longer make it, just make sure to take it down so others can be shown a more accurate wait time. [+1 star] Short and accurate wait time. I did put a name down ahead of time for a party of 4. So I'm sure that influenced the short wait time. I was surprised at the accuracy of the online wait time. We actually received the text message a couple minutes earlier than the estimated wait time. Always a nice surprise when that happens! Pro tip: I say it's always better to assume wait times will be longer so that you're not disappointed when the estimate runs over! Easier said than done (I know, lol) when you're eyeing everyone's millionaire's bacon and other delicious food walk by. We checked in with the hostess and she made sure our whole party was there before she sat us (we were). [+0.5 star] Patient and friendly staff. Two of my friends have never been to any Sweet Maple (believe it or not). They had lots of questions and our waiter was patient and answered all of their questions with a smile. [+0.5 star] Attentive staff. With tables packed pretty much all day, the kitchen has gotten their groove down. All of the food came out very quickly. Within a few short minutes of each other, we all had our food. Being seated outside, generally it takes staff a little longer to refill water and to come around to check in on us. That was not the case here! Water was constantly being refilled. Suffice it to say that I think we were well cared for during our meal! [+1 star] Great tasting food. If you're eating cleaner or have dietary restrictions, there's something for everyone here. I ordered the millionaire's bacon (of course) and the spinach scramble to share. I upgraded from potatoes to fresh fruit for an extra $4 and requested that the scramble be made with egg whites (also extra $4). Scrambles come with ciabatta and we were happy to stick with that. But they also have an option to change it to gluten free bread for an additional $2. With all of the extra substitutions, you'd think I wouldn't be full. Even though the scramble was made with egg whites which usually means less volume for the overall scramble, I thought the portion size was very generous. Fruit was incredibly fresh and also very sweet. Ciabatta was nicely toasted. Now for the millionaires bacon flight - you've heard it all and I'm going say it again. Popular for a reason, they're sweet and salty and you have to order this (even if you're a regular!) It never gets tiring. You get 4 slices of thick cut bacon with various flavors (original, citron, rosemary, and cinnamon). My group's ranking for flavors from most to least favorite is as follows: original, citron, cinnamon, and rosemary! Order the flight and try for yourself to see if you agree with our ranking! [+1 star] Spacious and modern ambiance. Once you walk in the main entrance, you'll be met with a bright, chic and modern dining space. Gone are the dark wooden chairs and tables that put their first SF location on the map. The Walnut Creek location has a white ceiling affixed with bright light fixtures and a skylight to add even more brightness. Chairs are a luxurious leather half moon chair with and are a neutral taupe color. That's for the inside! We were seated at their outside patio where we were met with rattan chairs with seat cushions and black tables with white marbling. What we liked was that the sliding door that separates the inside and outside of the restaurant can slide completely open. This allows more air for the people on the inside and allows the people outside to feel like they're part of the people dining inside!

We didn't know that Sweet Maple was a chain until we walked in and remembered the decor. We ordered the Blueberry French Toast, Burrata Salad, and Coconut Waffle. My nephew didn't like Blueberry Cloud French Toast because there spur cream filling was a little too salty for him. My partner thought that the waffle was too sweet and too small for the price. My burrata salad was really good because I asked for the dressing and avocado on the side. The toast was delicious to smearvthe burrata and avocado on. I would order the burrata salad again!

Got the Blackstone, an eggs Benedict with one piece of their Millionaire bacon. It was yummy but I couldn't taste the lemon in their hollandaise. I was expecting it to be stronger but it was still really good. I really liked their mixed potatoes. I wouldn't mind getting this dish again but I'd maybe try something else first. The ube latte was on the milkier side than Ube. I like a strong Ube flavor. It did get stronger after the first few sips but it still wasn't strong enough. I would skip this in the future. I had a sip of the matcha latte and that had a very strong flavor, maybe a little too strong, and it felt chalky. My friend liked it though. I would pass on this as well. Their outdoor dining has plenty of shade and was bearable during a heat wave. Service was really great and friendly. Shout out to Nay!

I have been wanting to try Sweet Maple since it opened earlier this year. I finally had a chance to do so yesterday (8/9/2025) with a friend. She arrived before I did and put our name on the waitlist. To our surprise, we only waited ~10 mins. I tried to come here with another friend in the spring but we bailed when we saw that the wait was over an hour on a Sunday afternoon at 1 pm (they close at 2:30 pm). Very happy to have a short wait this time. For our drinks, I had the iced ube latte and my friend had the cinnamon espresso. I could taste the ube and liked that it was made with oat milk. However, I do not think that drink is worth $9. For our entrees, I had the Oscar Benedict and she had the eggs with millionaire's bacon. Loved the colorful potatoes, fresh crab, and ciabatta bread. Though the wasabi hollandaise had a little kick, it was not as spicy as I would have expected. Server was friendly, patient with my questions, and brought our food out quickly. The restaurant was a bit noisy. My portion of the bill (including tax/tip) was ~$54, which was a bit pricey. However, I'm glad I tried it with my friend as it was our last time seeing each other as I'm moving out of state this coming week. As for whether I'd go back when visiting the bay or recommending Sweet Maple to local friends who haven't tried it, I would say the food is great but pricey and I wouldn't wait if the wait is more than a half hour. Were I to return, I'd probably sit outside given that inside was noisy.

Went here for brunch on a Sunday with a good friend, we had to wait for around 20 minutes but the line was fast and well worth it! The restaurant was packed but the server was very attentive and kept checking in on us. I got the eggs benedict, which was amazing! It was a massive portion that came with yummy potatoes. I also got a matcha, which was pretty solid. Overall, I would definitely give this place a try if you are looking for a solid brunch spot in the east bay.

The moment you walk in you can't help but be impressed by the decor - very chic and polished! The menu is extensive and I love the Asian fusion dishes and creative drinks. Food was decent. My sister loved her sizzling pot, my son enjoyed the kids pancake dish. My ramyun, however, was just okay. Noodles were a tad undercooked and the yummy Shin Ramyun flavor wasn't really there. Probably wouldn't order again. The server did their job, not necessarily attentive, but not absent either. I would go here again for a family breakfast or brunch with the gals.

Where to start? Let's address the parking first, front metered parking available but a short walk you also have a garage. Check-in: as soon as you walk in, opulent atmosphere, with warm service and excellent service from the seating to the servers and every other supporting cast in between service is as excellent as the decor. Food: from my delicious mocha, to the shareable millionaire bacon, to the eggs Benedict entree this place delivered in presentation, taste and quality. Down side: none, they checked all the boxes, even have outdoor seating, their bathroom was so elegant and clean..... one possible downside is they get busy so reserve, be prompt to leave when done so others can enjoy their food and if you don't reserve be willing to wait. Otherwise, no reason to pass them up for breakfast/brunch.

Sweet Maple is easily one of the best breakfast spots in Walnut Creek. The Millionaire's Bacon alone is worth the trip--sweet, smoky, and perfectly crispy. I also tried their morning cocktails, and the "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" shots (they come as a pair) were such a fun touch to brunch. The vibe is lively but still relaxed enough to actually enjoy your meal. If you're a brunch person, this place needs to be on your list. I'll definitely be coming back to work my way through the rest of their menu!

The service was ok. I felt a bit under dressed for inside, so asked to be seated outside, got sat outside and the sun was too bright, so I asked if I could be seated in shade. The hostess gave me an attitude and asked:" you want to move again?" Food was average in my opinion. The hot pot was good, but the sauce was too sweet. I would like a more tangy/ spicy flavor. I would try a different spot before going back.

We have been coming to sweet maple since our days in SF and were VERY excited for a location to open up in the east bay. Vibes are contemporary and good. Staff was very attentive. Food was really good and did not disappoint. Prices are pricey so buyer beware but def worth a bougie brunch

Recommended by a lot of people and decent yelp reviews so we came here and gave it a try. You can add your name on the list before you get there which I like as other places don't have that option. We got there and were seated within 5 minutes of arriving. This is so hard to review as there is no half stars. Ordered the short rib fried rice but there were barely any short ribs and felt the ratio was way off. A sprinkle of short ribs with that much rice and egg is not worth almost 30 dollars....a bit disappointed in that. Flavor is good and the sauce seems like a lot but not overpowering. Eggs cooked perfect in my dish, good texture and good flavor to the rice. My boyfriend got the Blackstone Benedict and the potatoes and bacon were good but the eggs were so undercooked the moment he cut it in half the whole uncooked yolk came out and the uncooked egg whites were separated. The food has good flavor but clearly things were rushed and not taken the time to cook on the Benedict. The drinks were great the guava drink was smooth and refreshing. Very unique flavors to this drink which I loved. The Tiffany blue mimosa was a great twist on regular mimosa. The mango mimosa was ok nothing special and with the different flavors they offer I would try the fresh juice over the mango one. The service was ok our drinks were empty for a while before someone came over and we were able to order a second drink. After our food came no one asked if we needed anything else. Once we ordered our second drink they brought us the check....we felt rushed and like we should be done which in my opinion is a way to push people out. It was a bit busy as I expected on a Sunday but it wasn't too loud. It is a bit of smaller place but they have seating in and outdoors. I would come back for the drinks but the food was a bit disappointing considering the price.

This location was beautiful, well lit comfy seats and friendly staff. We went on a Monday with a reservation. Was able to be seated right away. The bacon was so good!! I had a spinach scramble turned into an omelette. The potato's were regular I think I was hoping for seasoned with veggies. But it was still good. My friend had the chicken and croffle she loved it. However she wasn't a fan of the banana drink, but when she told the staff the exchanged it right away. Mango margaritas were tasty as well. I will definitely be back!

Food 5/5 The food was absolutely amazing! I was extremely satisfied with everything I ordered. The burger was one of the best I've ever had, packed with flavor, spice, and just the right amount of chili for me. The fries and ranch were a perfect combo too. I also got to try some of my friends' dishes, and everything was delicious. The French toast and waffles were especially incredible! I'll definitely be coming back. Customer Service 5/5 Customer service was great, staff were very attentive. One team member accidentally spilled syrup on a plate, but without us even asking, they immediately took it back and brought out a new one. We really appreciated that level of care! Ambience 5/5 I loved the ambiance, plenty of natural light, open space, and charming fresh flowers added a lovely touch. Cleanliness 5/5 Sweet Maple had a clean, well-kept atmosphere that made the dining experience even more enjoyable. Wait Time 5/5 The wait time was short and totally worth it. Cost 4/5 Overall, I found it to be a bit on the pricier side, one slice of French toast was nearly $20. That said, the quality and taste of the food made it feel mostly worth it. Drinks 5/5 I ordered the bottomless coffee, which was reasonably priced and tasted excellent. My friend ordered the matcha, it had a cute presentation, though it wasn't her favorite since it was less sweet than she prefers.

I'm so glad they have one in WC, so instead of driving to the city, there's one really close to home. Unlike the city, there's plenty of street parking (FYI..metered and heavily enforced). There's also plenty of seating inside and outside. The patio is nice because you can feel the breeze and it's a bit private because of the pants that provide some privacy. The service was great and just like in SF, the food comes out quick. We had about a 5 -8 minute wait from the time we ordered. I had the maple scramble which was amazing. It had hollandaise sauce, sweet potatoes, and chopped up millionaires bacon. Speaking of millionaires bacon, OMG, if you haven't tried it, you have to. It's sweet, savory crunchy, soft....just perfect (probably wouldn't want to have this more than once a month ). This is definitely a wonderful place that we 100% recommend.

As a foodie and brunch lover, I've been wanting to try Sweet Maple for a long time! I'm fan of their sister restaurant, Kitchen Story in Oakland, so I was excited to hear Sweet Maple was opening in Walnut Creek. The vibes/ambiance: 4/5 The indoor dining area has an upscale, classy vibe. We had a table on the outdoor patio. The sun was beating down on me, but luckily I wore a hat when I went. Some overhead coverage or adding more umbrellas to make sure no one is left in direct sun would help, as Walnut Creek has 4-5 months of intense heat every year! Service: 3.5/5 Server was polite enough but seemed busy instead of friendly. I would have liked to be checked on more. When I needed syrup, more water, the check, and a to-go box, I had to flag someone down or go find someone. Food: It depends on what you order! I enjoyed the Sweet Maple Scramble (4/5) and side of fruit, but did not like the thick toast that came with it (plain in flavor and hard to eat). A slightly bigger portion of the scramble (especially for the $26 price point) and a thinner/ tastier slice of toast that's easier to eat would have elevated this to a 5/5. The petite pancake (3.5/5) is aesthetically pleasing to look at but not as satisfying to eat. (You also need to ask for syrup, as it didn't come with it.) A stack of small, thinner pancakes does not taste as good as 1-2 bigger fluffy pancakes, but ironically for a place called Sweet Maple, this was my only pancake option. I'll give the croffles or moffle a try next time, since I would probably like them more. Crab Sandwich (2.5/5) This sandwich was sadly a miss for my fiancé. There was far more bread than filling, and the filling had very little crab (and a couple of pieces of shell) which is disappointing at the $32 price tag. The fries that it came with were amazing, though. Ube latte (3.5/5) I love Ube so I'm glad this was an option, but the lattes have more flavor and taste better at Kitchen Story. I also ordered mine with oat milk and they may have given me regular milk. I didn't notice right away because of the flavoring, but I had a stomach ache after brunch and this was probably why. Maybe double check with your server to make sure they heard you if you also order alternative milk! I do want to try more items, like the omurice, coconut moffle, and the bacon flight, so I'll likely return.

Came here with my sister on a Saturday around noon and the wait wasn't too bad at all. Spot is very cute, chic, instagramable. Waiter was very kind. Food was good but pricey, nothing spectacular but we had a nice time, definitely recommend but is a standard brunch spot nothing to rave about.

Good service, drinks were served quickly which I appreciate. I got the matcha latte, absolutely delicious & refreshing. We also ordered the millionaires bacon flight which is a must! I got the smash burger & fries & hubby enjoyed the Francis (egg soufflé ) but he said it was so hot - each bite was kinda hard to enjoy. The cast iron pan it comes in stays very hot so be careful. Our little one enjoyed his petit pancake. And he loves the blueberries & whip cream! This was our 2nd time here & clearly one of my best spots for Sunday brunch. Hint: hit the farmers market 9-1 right around the corner.

Sweet maple is a newish restaurant near downtown Walnut Creek. They specialize in millionaire bacon (which we didn't try), various salads and sandwiches, and egg products. The place is well decorated and clean (but they have a lot of flies). The service is efficient and friendly. I got the sizzling pot which was tasty. It was really hot and a bit spicy. We also got the waffle with fried chicken. This was really good. The waffle was well cooked and the chicken was tender and flavorful. Friends got the soufflé and the Benedict and seemed happy with it. The ube latte was also very good. I'll definitely go back soon.

I really enjoyed the ambiance, the service and the exotic and playful menu. The food was good. Their hollandaise sauce is creamy, herbaceous, and delicious. The egg soufflé was fluffy and tasty. Drinks were good, and the bacon jam was delectable! Definitely a winner. My only complaint was that the potatoes were unseasoned and not hot or crispy. For the price, I want great potatoes. All in all, a lovely breakfast b

First time trying Sweet Maple and they did not disappoint! We made reservations for Saturday 9am. Yelp made it easy to make reservations and there is also a yelp waitlist option. Food -million dollar bacon - as advertised, sweet, spicy and savory. Must try if you like mdb to begin with. -chicken croffle -fried chicken was good and croffle was good. -tornado galbi omurice - meat was tender sauce was flavorful Drinks -we tried 4 alcoholic drinks and were impressed with all of them. Least favorite was bramble creek (cinnamon whisky with raspberry mocha liqueur and espresso). Favorites were the mango margarita and guavarita. The espresso martini was strong and good too. Wifey had 2 espresso cocktails and she was definitely feeling wired after. Ambiance - modern upscale brunch. Like west elm / hint of RH decor feel but obviously on a lot smaller scale. As more people started to trickle in and as the restaurant got busier, conversations got louder. It was harder to listen to the person in front of you. The restaurant is not that big and the tables are very close together. They have 5 locations as of now. SF, Palo Alto, Cupertino and Santa Monica. I thought their menu was very similar to Kitchen Story in Oakland since they also served mlb there. Upon further research, they are owned by the same owner as Kitchen Story (another great brunch restaurant- also cramped though) ! I'm excited to see what the owner, Choi has up his sleeve in the future.

I've been to their San Francisco location before and always wanted to go back but it was always so far. Was so excited to hear they opened in Walnut Creek! Love how clean and open the space is especially when they open the glass doors to connect their outside seating. What we ordered: -The famous Millionaire's bacon $15 -Chicken croffle (came with 3 crispy pieces of chicken on croissant waffle!) $26 -Tornado galbi omurice $26 Pricey but everything was yummy and our food came out quick! Looking forward to coming back and try more items on their menu.

My first time at any Sweet Maple location left a very good impression. The food was presented beautifully. I will say it didn't blow me away. The chicken wasn't exceptionally juicy or otherwise memorable; the benedict was a regular benedict but with their millionaire's bacon. The bacon was great though: thick cut and a little smoky, sweet, and spicy. I also enjoyed how they prepare the side potatoes--perfectly cooked, a tad crisp on the outside and very tender. Overall, everything executed very well. Service was excellent. In fact, it was much faster than I was expecting. Our food came out very quickly after we placed an order, but it was a Monday morning, so I cannot speak for busy hours. Inside is clean and feels warm, with tons of natural light. The side windows open all the way up to be open air and connecting to the patio. A good experience overall.

We have been wanting to try Sweet Maple for a few months now, ever since they opened and this weekend was the weekend we finally made it in! To start, the flavor of everything was spot on and amazing. We ordered an Espresso Martini and it was incredibly smooth and light. Just flawless. The brussels sprouts appetizer was light in that it was made up of leaves and not full heads, interspaced with millionaires bacon (which was a bit too thickly cut for us) and very well flavored with multiple notes. We also ordered the Millionaires Bacon flight and it was amazing! Each slice was so incredibly different and my favorites were the Cinnamon (like a Christmas meal) and Rosemary, with the honey's favorites being also the Rosemary and the Original, which he felt was the most moist of the set. We both felt the Citron was the least successful of the flight, but still might appeal to those who really love citrus and oranges. Finally, for the larger bites my egg whites and rosemary potato medley were simple and absolute perfection outside of one significant note. Sweet potatoes were included in the potato medley. Sweet potatoes are not potatoes, though they share the name. And I'm allergic to them (luckily only lightly) so there are allergen concerns with how the dish is listed on the menu at present. All in all, that note aside, we adored our meal and would absolutely come back in a second. In my opinion, Sweet Maple is absolutely 1000% worth the hype.

The ambiance is very modern yet quant thanks to the compact seating arrangement. Service is great, our server was jovial & upbeat! Food was delicious, with the star of the meal being the French toast dish! Perfectly crunchy, thick, & soft inside, each bite was enjoyed tremendously with a blueberry whipped butter to go alongside.

Based on my previous experiences at their other locations, I had high expectations - and once again this restaurant group did not disappoint. I love that all their restaurants are linked by certain signature items like the millionaire's bacon. The buildout is beautiful, probably one of the more fancier spots thus far. I look forward to returning and trying more of their Walnut Creek menu items. BB

We tried Sweet Maple, a cute little restaurant nestled next to Skipolini's in WC. We were greeted and seated right away. Hubs ordered eggs and millionaire bacon and I had the savory omelette which had pieces of bacon and shrimp with a side of fruit. I thought my dish was good, the bread was surprisingly delicious, the crunch it had and the butter. My fruit salad was good too. Hubs said his was good but the bacon was very rich so he couldn't even finish his 2 pieces. The thickest bacon we have ever had. Good flavor but it was very rich so only a few bites were had. Overall experience was okay, nothing stood out for me to make me want more. The service was lacking. Our server never checked on us after our food arrived and we actually had to sit there for a long while and flagged her down for the check. Overall an okay experience but not amazing and prices were on the higher side.

The cutest place for a brunch in Walnut Creek. So happy we came here and a great spot! Kiki helped us and she provided outstanding service! We had the BLTA sandwich, delicious and the tornado galbi which was outstanding. We also tried the millionaire bacon and that was unreal. Highly recommend!!

So happy I finally tried this place!! I went on a weekday with my mom so it wasn't too crowded. We absolutely loved the outdoor seating. The mimosas definitely pack a punch I ordered the short rib Benedict, mom ordered an omelette, and we shared the brussel sprouts with millionaire bacon. Everything was PERFECT! we noticed a few orders of the French toast at the next table and were salivating while we waited for our food. I will definitely return here! Perfect for a brunch date or girls day out!!

Location is convenient, wait time is low, service is great and quick, ambiance is beautiful and clean, and the food is amazing! The only negative is that it's very pricey! Had a quick brunch while in the area the other day, sadly had to rush out of there since we were running late to an appt, and unfortunately I had left my card at home (because we left to Walnut Creek so early) , and I feel terrible about not being able to tip the waiter. I literally only had enough to pay for the bill, thanks to my sister's bday gift card to me and just some little funds on my Venmo debit! So whoever waited me that day, I'm VERY SORRY! I would've gone back, but I figured unless I'm tipping you more than the average it wasn't worth the drive back and I'm super embarrassed!

Great brunch spot! The waffle and the cinnamon espresso were a great start to the day! The staff's very nice and attentive to your needs. The vibe in the dining room is super chill and bright. They've got a few outdoor seats that look nice as well. Will certainly be back.

I've been wanting to try this place for so long, and my mom and I finally got to! The minute we walked into the door we were greeted with a smile by the host and immediately seated (no reservation). The ambience was such a modern and happy vibe, everyone around us seemed to be enjoying their food and time here. For our drinks, I ordered a matcha latte and my mom ordered an ube latte. When I say this is the BEST matcha latte ever, I mean that this was the BEST MATCHA LATTE EVER! I will be getting that every single time I get it and loved the design they added to it as well. My mom LOVED her ube latte, and when I tried some I could see why she loved it so much. It was the perfect hint of ube but not overpowering. We ordered the Tornado Galbi Omurice, France Egg Soufflé, and Crispy Brussel Sprouts. The Tornado was defiantly the show stopper and had super savory flavor with the perfect amount of sauce that it came with. We ate every single bite. The soufflé was so fluffy and fresh, and the sausage and bacon was such a good touch with it as well. The Brussels were so good and had little rice balls that came mixed in with it. The flakey-ness of the Brussels were perfect and were finished by just the two of us. Defiantly something we're going to be getting again. The menu had so many great options and we weren't able to try everything. I look forward to going back again and trying more of their menu!

Everything was delicious here, my girlfriends and I came in on a Monday morning with no reservations and were seated almost immediately. The inside is really nice, and they also have a small out door seating area. The matcha latte was really good, the perfect amount of milk to matcha and the matcha was good quality. The truffle dirty coffee was interesting, strong coffee. I love both coffee and truffle but I wouldn't pair them together. The original millionaires bacon was really good nice thick cut of bacon perfectly candied. The petite pancake stack was perfect for someone like me. I normally can not stomach pancakes but this was perfect. The pancakes were a cute size, buttered, with a blueberry sauce and whipped cream. The omurice was good the galbi was nice and tender and the flavor was good. The egg was cooked perfectly, I will say the sauce and the rice were lacking some flavor but overall this dish was good. I can't forget about the side order of potatoes, they were perfectly crisp ans flavorful. Whatever they fried the potatoes in 10/10! The service here was good, nothing else to say on it :)

This place is AMAZING. I loved it so much that I have been there twice in eight days, and as I write this review, I'm thinking of going there today. I want to start off with the moment I walked in. This place looks stunning. It's clean and well-kept, and everyone is friendly. Best of all, I didn't feel out of place. The second time I went, I took my sister-in-law and niece. Everyone was awesome. They found a table in the back, which was perfect. Niece could be a toddler without us having to worry about anyone around us. My niece loved the breakfast. She kept eating the purple potatoes, and she probably had a whole meal all by herself. As for me, what made me come back was ; When I had my first meal, everything on the table was different, but it went well together. Their menu seems purposeful. All the flavors blended together to form a meal, versus you having different items for breakfast. My ube latte had the right amount of sweetness and balanced my meal. The bacon was icing on the cake. It's funny because my sister-in-law experienced the same thing the second time I went. As she was having her coffee, she noticed it was a little stronger than she was accustomed to. Yet once she had a bite of the bacon and took another sip, she noticed it changed the profile of the coffee, and it now went well together. She took another bite and another sip and was in awe. I look forward to eating here again shortly.
