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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Food was delicious! Ambience was beautiful- bright and airy, beautifully decorated, staff was attentive, and service was quick. Fresh potatoes 🥔 and OMG…the bacon! 🥓 Get the bacon! It’s something you have never tasted!

I’ve been here way too many times so here goes my honest review. 5⭐️. I’ve taken several of my friends and family members here. Food is great. Portion is enough. Ambiance is nice, unless it’s delivery day in the other establishments, which makes outdoor seating a nightmare cos it can be loud (Thursday mornings). If you’re looking to take an aesthetic photo for the gram but is also worth your drive and taste buds, Sweet Maple is the place. Best to come on weekdays. My first time coming was on a weekend and the wait time is a nightmare! Street parking only in Downtown WC… so you already know if you’re familiar with the place. Chicken Croffle and Savory Soufflegg are my top go to dishes. I know they have a popular fancy instant ramen noodle dish, but that ain’t my thing. Service is great too. Pei is super nice, and so are the others! I will be back again!

Despite the high prices, I was excited to try this spot based on the unique menu. There were several appealing items and I went with the Tornado Galbi Omurice. I’m sorry but it was not good. The food was served luke warm. The rice was bland. The eggs had an odd texture. The short rib was in a heavy gravy, and did not remind me of any authentic Korean galbi I’ve had from many Korean restaurants and friends home cooking. It was too sweet and saucy for my taste. Nice atmosphere, good service, and the coffee was ok.

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.

The breakfast was really good! I especially loved the millionaire's bacon and the potatoes were super flavorful. My boyfriend's breakfast was also really tasty. The only downside was the service. After our food was dropped off, no one checked on us at all. We actually wanted to order more, but our waiter never came back. He may have been busy with other customers, which is understandable, but I wish he had checked in at least just once. We ended up waiting a while just to flag someone down for the tab, since we were ready to leave. Also, someone left a skillet with uneaten food right next to our table, and it was swarming with little flies, some getting on our food too... not the most appetizing thing to see during breakfast. Overall, the food itself was great, but the service and some cleanliness definitely need some improvement.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

A new brunch spot in Walnut Creek! It's very crowded so make a resy or risk a wait. They have the millionaire bacon and it's a must try

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!!

Long wait during busy brunch times, but it was nice to walk the Sunday farmers market across the street while we waited for our yelp waitlist to inform us that our table was ready. We parked, got added to the yelp waitlist via their tablet, then walked around the farmers market to grab some fresh fruit, kettle corn, and flowers. After we received our 10 minute warning text that our table would be ready, we walked over and checked in with the host, then got seated with some coloring sheets with crayons for the kids. Bathrooms are clean and perfect to wash hands after walking around downtown Walnut Creek before being seated (I saw employees walking in and out of the restrooms to ensure they were clean, which was so nice to see!). Our table was so close to the other tables, so waiters were knocking me over or guests were accidentally touching our bags, etc. Not comfortable seating during to lack of space, but the ceilings are high and the decor is nice. I ordered the Korean Galbi omesake egg with fried rice, which was delicious (overpriced, but good). Husband wanted a simple BLT with fries, which he enjoyed. Kids ordered the kids pancake with one bacon, one scrambled eggs, and fruit. It was enough for the kids to share the 8 mini pancakes (4each). Many families with young kids or babies, so it was loud, which made us feel right at home, lol!! Host mistakenly brought Coke instead of Diet Coke, and forgot my latte, but that was fine - it was super busy, and we had our water pitcher. Kids had their water in plastic cups with lids. Wish the straws weren't paper though because they got so soggy quickly. Overall, we had a great family brunch!

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.

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

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.

This is a really interesting addition to downtown WC. The ambiance is very Vegas-like with modern, trendy fixtures. It does, however, make for a very live acoustic space, so when it's packed, it's nearly impossible to near your friends. The service is very prompt and friendly and the food comes out quick. They have a very smooth operation. While at first, you might think the food is slightly overpriced for what you get, the flavors and the presentation are really on point. Yes, there's always going to be the cost of a downtown location, but I don't think they skimp here. My friend got the coconut moffle and I got the fried chicken croffle. Both were absolutely delicious and it's actually really hard to decide on what to get. Normally, you can scope out what other tables have ordered, but in this case, it doesn't make the decision any easier. I really hope this spot lasts. Parking can be tough but there are two garages close by.

Came in on an early Sunday morning 30 minutes after opening and this place was about half full! We had an ube latte and a matcha latte with almond milk, then settled into our food - the chicken croffle, the omurice galbi, and the Benedict Gladstone. The mixed potatoes with the Benedict were next level good. Eggs and Hollandaise sauce were great. The millionaire's bacon was tasty, but was a little tough to cut. The ciabatta bread as a base for the Benedict was also a little hard to cut. Taste was good, but the tough cutting (even with the extra knife) took a little away from the dish. I am probably going to go for a souflegg skillet next time

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.

We frequent the location in Palo Alto and love it there so we wanted to try the one closer to home. The wait is usually long but that's because it's so popular. During the week you can make reservations but weekends is first come first served usually. The food is still just so beautiful and tastes amazing! Love the aesthetics of this location it's gorgeous! Just sad that the matcha mochi waffle was not on the menu.

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!!

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 :)

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!

After the long wait and joining the waiting list twice...the wait was worth every minute we spend tasting the most delicious dishes we adventure with my parents The host was very friendly and apologizing for the long wait, we got to our table and our server Paul just made the whole experience amazing and the suggestion right on point. The place looks mazing I love the open patio that connects to the indoor seating We order the millionaire's bacon flights which comes with four different ways how they make the bacon, I am not a big fan of bacon but these ones blow my taste buds away!!! Each has their own unique flavor Citron mild limón flavor with crispy corners, soft in the middle not grease and a kick of sweet maple Original soft inside, crispy in the outside, marinated with brown sugar but not too sweet. Cinnamon is like a warm cinnamon roll sweet and salty Rosemary mild savory flavor but kept the crispiness and softness in the bacon with a hint of brown sugar Paul suggestion was right in point Tornado Galbi Omurice the presentation amazing is like a mini mountain with some shredded braised short beef in the opposite side one side I believe it was galbi sauce with pickle onions very delicious and well made For dessert we order the Marnier French Toast and that was a wow!!! Is a must to try!! For drink we got the Ube latte , a beer and the sweet maple expresso martini I didn't taste the rum that much but it was a bit in the sweet side, maybe if the sweetness can be lower just a bit a bit more if the coconut isla rica will be perfect but is a must to try if you like your coffee with alcohol Overall this place is worth the wait and worth the money for the quality food we got and the customer service top notch Just an honest feedback try not to serve all the plates at once because the downside of it is dishes and warm dessert might get cold

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.

I have gone to the SF location many times. Was super excited to go to the WC location for my Birthday today . The decor is beautiful, lots of natural light. Service was a little rough. Couldn't flag down our server (or any) to order drinks. It was not busy but no staff would make eye contact. The Bloody Mary was tasty! The Millionaire bacon did not disappoint BUT again the service was lacking. My 97yr old MIL and I shared the Oscar Benny. The plate they gave us to split was literally the size of a bread plate!!!!! Ridiculous. We asked for a "real" plate and they brought one. I'm happy to pay a split fee, just don't give me a tiny plate to try to put all the food on. The Benny was tasty as was my husband chicken & waffle. However, I just don't feel it's the same vibe as SF, I'm not sure I will be back anyone soon with so many other high end brunch spot available now.

Beautiful decor, soothing music. The menu is extensive for brunch lovers. The only shortcoming is that they are not a ton of vegetarian options. There's very little room for modification and extra charges for any changes on main dishes. The salad I tried was very fresh and flavorful and beautifully presented. The service is great, polite and pleasant.

I've been a big fan of the location in SF, so when I found out Sweet Maple was coming to WC I was over the moon! This location, like their sister, has amazing food, charming ambiance that's slightly elevated to match the WC vibe, and excellent service. I've always enjoyed the service model of everyone does everything- you can ask any staff member for whatever you need and no one says "I'll get your server" or brushes you off. The staff here genuinely seem to enjoy working here and helping each other which I love. As for the food- they do have some items unique to this location, including the Coconut Moffle with Brie, which is a super crispy mochi waffle lightly flavored with coconut, topped with a small portion of brie cheese, with fresh raspberries and a kind of raspberry honey to garnish. When I tell you that I was shocked at how delicious this was!!!! I ate the whole plate- and I'm not usually one for being able to finish a meal. My husband got the short rib omurice which is insanely delicious and flavorful. And of course we got a flight of bacon because you have to have the bacon here!!!! Personally my fave is the millionaires bacon, but hubby wanted the flight this time so we did that. Cocktails to start were also great- the espresso martini had a foam that stayed the entire time we were there and was vanilla forward which was super tasty. He got the Morning Glory (plug here for a BOMB spot in San Diego by this name, A MUST TRY brunch spot!). This cocktail has Greek yogurt in it which is what intrigued him, and he said that the flavor did actually come through in the drink and he really enjoyed it! And my last note for you, it's a small one but IYKYK; the ciabatta toast here is elite. Once upon a time they also had housemade raspberry preserves they served with it but they don't make that anymore- however the toast itself is FIRE. Texture, flavor, crunch, perfection- you're welcome.

Came here on a Monday for brunch with my coworkers. I was able to get a reservation the day before. To my surprise, it was actually really busy for a Monday brunch. Given that we had reservations, I'm glad we got seated right away. My coworkers and I ordered the following: Farm Fresh Egg Plate w/ Millionaire's bacon, Tornado Galbi Omurice, Blueberry Cloud French Toast and the Mexicali Burger. We also ordered a matcha and Ube latte. The food came over fairly quickly and we all enjoyed our meals. The blueberry French toast was different as it was deep fried with a blueberry cream cheese filling. I wish there was more filling as the French toast is pretty dense. But nonetheless, still very delicious. Other than the food, I would say the only downside was even with reservations, they initially offered us a table right next to the entrance where all the guests waiting would crowd right next to the table. I had asked for a different table, so they offered us a patio table. I chose the patio table thinking it would be best away from the crowd but unfortunately it was the table right next to the area they would buss all the serve-ware. So the entire time, you would just hear clanking of plates and cups be thrown into the bin which kind of took away from an enjoyable meal.

I've tried Sweet Maple in SF, so I was excited to try out this new location because it's closer to me! It did not disappoint. Like the SF location, there was a wait (a really long wait LOL but it was expected), but unlike SF, there is a Yelp waitlist. The food was really good and the service was great! The braised short rib went really well with the sizzling stonepot. For the omurice, I thought everything was great, except for the rice which I found to be quite lacking. The raspberry lemonade definitely tasted fresh and was a nice sweet drink to go with everything. Overall, I really enjoy Sweet Maple. Their brunch offerings are definitely what you'd expect out of an aesthetic brunch, but it's also good food. The only thing keeping me from giving them 5 stars is how pricey their food is for what you get, but I think you're also paying for the experience as well.

Went here on a Tuesday early afternoon. Service was great, seating is quickly and checking in on what we would like to order, even asking us questions about our drinks and food and if we had anything we could suggest to improve upon our meal. Our ube lattes were delicious and I would certainly get it again. My soft skillet eggs were very hot and wished there were more savory elements, like the shrimp throughout, but still very yummy. Vibe was chic and clean, with indoor and outdoor areas.

I've been to the San Francisco location and was so excited to see one open here! We decided to go on Easter Sunday and were a little worried about long lines. Luckily, we joined the waitlist through Yelp while heading to the gym, which worked out perfectly since the estimated wait was about an hour. At the time, we didn't realize you can check in online when you're closer to the front of the line - super convenient. We showed up when we were about 15th in line, so we took a stroll through the farmers market just down the block. We got seated not too long after; the wait felt totally manageable. Once inside, the space was beautiful. We sat outside, and all the staff were really kind and welcoming. Now for the food: we ordered an orange juice and a matcha latte to start - both were good! For food, we went with the Omurice and the Ramyun. I really enjoyed both, but the Omurice was my favorite of the two. I already can't wait to come back and try more dishes next time!

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.

Sweet Maple's opening in WC was very much anticipated. Other than wait times, I've never had a bad experience at any of the restaurants within this group / places that serve Millionaire's Bacon. So glad I was able to try Sweet Maple during a lunch break on a Tuesday! We were lucky to have found a meter spot nearby Sweet Maple. Put in $ for an hour and headed in. On our way there, I put us on the virtual waiting list on Yelp. Mentioned this to them when we walked in, and we were seated. We got the menus and had plenty of time to read it through. Someone took our drink orders and we tried- Ube Latte- so pretty and purple! Unfortunately it wasn't caffeinated, but it was good. One of the better Ube lattes I've tried. Didn't feel $9 worth tho. Espresso Tonic- so fancy! It had espresso, tonic, elderflower, and rose. Tasted tart, fruity, and a bit floral. One of the more unique espresso tonics I've tried. Our food order was later taken, and thankfully the food arrived very quickly. Yay for not having to go put more money in the meter! We tried - Pimped Up Ramyun - elevated soupless ramen, with egg and millionaires bacon! The seasoning and their bacon makes this dish work, along with the interesting presentation. The table next to us took a photo of it as well. Tornado Galbi Omurice - it was so difficult choosing what I wanted to try, but ultimately went with the omurice because I haven't tried the tornado style egg before. So cool looking! The rice underneath didn't have fixings in it, so the flavors just came from the seasonings, the sauce, meat, and pickled onions, etc. They can do a crispy tofu version instead of the braised short ribs. It was good, but I expected a bit better in terms of the rice and flavor, considering a $26 dish. The space doesn't seem to suppress noise very well, as it was rather noisy in the center (where we were seated), but luckily we didn't have much to say. The interior was modern and clean looking. They do indoor and outdoor seating. I would come back to try other stuff. Their cocktails sound amazing, and I'd love to try other cafe drinks. Their small plates with burrata (earl grey blueberry croffle) and dish with Brie (coconut moffle) sound so good as well. I was interested in their egg soufflés, and thought I'd try next time, but the person at the table next to us mentioned it was rather bland (no wonder they recommend ordering the $2 jam). Though I didn't think what we got was really worth the price, they have a great thing going on with interesting and delicious sounding menu items that'll bring me back.

This is a small, modern and beautiful space. It reminds me of a high end hotel breakfast nook. We arrived when they opened so there wasn't much of a wait. We were seated and the staff got us situated. The customer service was excellent and didn't take long for the food to come out. Now, for the core of the review.... I had high expectations for the food and was left disappointed. 1. Lattes, we're okay. The mix was too strong in the matcha so we didn't drink it. The ube was good, but could've also used a little less mix. I know the coloring is pretty, but if it doesn't taste as good as it looks it misses the mark. 2. Bacon- The star of the visit was the Millionaire Bacon Flight, which is a sampler of bacons. The Rosemary bacon was pleasantly good and something that I would definitely have again. 3. French toast- it's something that's usually moist and buttery. We had been craving this and unfortunately the Marnier was our least favorite dish. The bread was thick and mostly dry. Likely because it was too thick to absorb the little bit of batter it had. The brûlée on the top was salty. Not sure if someone used salt as a mistake but it was horrible. We tried to mask it with syrup, but it was a fail. Would not recommend if it was the normal recipe. 4. Galbi Benedict- The short rib was tender and flavorful, but the rest left a lot to be desired. Usually a Benedict is served with sourdough English muffin. This was served with the same thick toast, which didn't balance well with the dry potatoes. 5. Raymun- These style noodles are popular in the Bay Area and ones we order often. Here they had all of the right ingredients, but again they were dry. No oil, gravy or sauce to marry the noodles and ingredients. This location is nice and the staff are great which is why I gave three stars, but the food overall was lackluster and disappointing. I see the vision, and hope they can make corrections to garner the reviews I know they desire.

Came here for brunch with my family. Best Brunch Place I have been to. Everyone at the table loved what they got. No complaints at all. Lots of options for coffee too. The service was fantastic and the ambiance was relaxed and inviting. Can't wait to go back to The Bay just to eat here.

The food and ambiance were both really nice, and we enjoyed our meal overall. However, the service left a lot to be desired. After our food was brought out, our server never came back to check on us. When we were ready to pay, he left the Toast payment device at our table for about 10 minutes even though we were paying with cash. It made the end of the experience feel awkward and neglected.

Very impressed with the menu, and quality of food here at Sweet Maple. I'm from the Bay Area, but I live in LA now and every time I come back home to visit I am so frustrated because I think all the food and restaurants are either awful or just mediocre. I came for a visit couple weeks ago for my dad's birthday and we were so blown away that there was a normal, delicious brunch spot like sweet maple. Not only is the interior and decor really nice and elevated, the menu is great, and the food was absolutely delicious. Also can't forget the service - we had wonderful service from everyone who worked there. Some people might look at the prices and think it's a little too overpriced, but let me tell you - not only is it worth it for the quality, but also their portions are huge! I truly feel that one dish is perfect for two people. There were four of us and we ordered three items and the bacon flight and we had at least a third of the food left over because the portions were so big. I will probably be back every time I come into town I would recommend all the items we ordered, which were the Francis Soufflegg Skillet, Sizzling Stonepot, and chicken Sandwich. The fries that came with the sandwich were delicious, and the potatoes that came with the soufflegg skillet were some of the best I've had (also dipping them in a couple of their house made aïoli were perfection).
