It was so delicious. I went wit my brother and can confidently say the best brunch we have had together. I've always heard of sweet maple but never went until then. read more

Extremely tasty food...Pricey $ I've been to the one in Concord and also the one in San Francisco. The food standard is the same, VERY good. They usually have a line, but it moves fairly quick . read more

Sweet Maple belongs to the instagram ready restaurant. They really go out of their way to make the food look amazing on eyes but their food tastes as good as well. The hot chocolate and cappuccino are one of the best in the area and their cocktails are as enticing. Eggs Benedict are perfection and served on a delicious toast. The French toast is filled with mouth watering blueberry filling and the whole thing is battered and fried so calories add up quite a bit but the whole ensemble is quite a treat. The service here seems a bit robotic as servers move around carrying digital focused more on screen than the human touch but the food makes up for the digital dry lands. But the price tag is definitely super high and that explains why you can walk in and get a table on the weekends. But I am glad that we have a really high end, highly indulging brunch place in a Walnut Creek. Save it for your special occasions. read more

Update: went back March 30th with a group of friends and got the mariner french toast. OMG! It was so good! Service was great this time. Greta new spot! March 14th: Great food and coffee. I got the eggs Benedict florentine. Was one of the best! Place was Bright and clean. Kinda expensive but I guess eating out is expensive now. Place was pretty crowded and they can use more servers. They were super busy. Update: went back read more

Food - ok, well executed and large portions. quality was fine, but WAY overpriced Service - not bad, once we were seated, server came to take our order within a reasonable time. Food came out fairly quickly. Table was not fully set (no condiments or flowers -- other tables had this. We had to ask for condiments. Ambiance - nice decor, lots of natural light. Tables were small and seating was very tight, those seated on either side of us were constantly bumping into our table. Other - long wait to be seated (40+ mins for a table for 2) -- this would be fine for something truly special but overall for the price and hype -- would not return. There are many other options in the East Bay offering better value and food quality. read more

Do NOT bother going without a reservation. The way they handle customers waiting for tables is ATROCIOUS . I haven't had an experience that bad in years. The hostess was super rude the manager was SO disorganized and didn't communicate clearly. Pancakes and bacon aren't worth it. I'll never be back read more

Excellent breakfast the food was great and the service was great food came out quick and fast

Mexicali burger was good. Super big by the way. Mariner french toast was good but at the same time not my cup of tea. Glad I ordered it. Definitely for a sweet tooth. read more

Let me make this simple 1- Food was just basic and $$$, 2- they have all doors open when its over 80 degrees outside, and they have some window celling so sun is in your face!! 3- food came out in different times and they forgot my friends meal, so waited another 20mins . Nothing was offered for my friend to snack on while others ate. 4- People are talking so loud because you can't hear each other. 5- still charge 20% for tip. Sorry this was not a great experience or a relaxing one. Oh and flies were going inside the kitchen when the doors were opened. So you know were they will be landing on. Calling the restaurant, you do not communicate with a person. Tried several times and no one available or to leave a message. read more

Good good good! Five star for taste and service. Like five star hotel! Modern and bright ambiance. read more

Sweet Maple - New American Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

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. read more

Food was good, the atmosphere is really nice, great drinks. It's small inside with an indoor/outdoor feel. Although the tables are packed in pretty tight, it doesn't feel like you're on top of each other. The bathroom wasn't the cleanest, which always makes me wonder about the kitchen... but luckily I didn't go to the bathroom until after we ate. Substitutions are limited. My sister and I took my Aunt whose going though chemo out for breakfast. There was a wait, so my sister and I went to walk through the farmer's market. Our table was ready and despite my Aunt being on a cane, unable to stand, she was forced to stand and wait until my sister and I could get back from the farmer's market. I understand the policy, but we were very close and she is very frail... an exception should have been made. Overall, if you are looking for a good brunch spot near Walnut Creek, this is a good option. Customer service and cleanliness is what kept them from getting 5 stars. read more

Walnut Creek needs this famous restaurant so badly! Great food, friendly service, amazing upscale interior. I brought my friends in from out of town for some brunch. We had Short Ribs which were deliciously soft and savory. We also ate some Omurice which was excellent with the tornado egg and beef. Also could not pass up on the world famous Millionaire's bacon. Everything was excellent! I love the indoor outdoor feel along with the high ceilings. Combine that with the handmade art work put throughout the dining area and it is a very special place to gathering space in Bay Area. Highly recommend for friends, family, and business meetings! read more

The menu was different from the one in SF!! Overall the place is nice, great staff. I sat and had mimosa which was good

Food was just. okay. Had omelet. Not that great. Potatoes not my favorite. Neither was toast. Hard and cold. Out of 4 of us. Only one thought there food was really good. It was Benedict Shared pancakes. Good. Not great I had been excited about this restaurant. Love breakfast places. Nothing compares to mamas in SF. For omelettes tho. Service was great though. Lovely decor (noisy tho). Good menu. Will try again. read more

I'm really surprised by the high ratings here. I came for breakfast and did not enjoy my experience and would not recommend to anyone. There were quite a few things that led to this: 1. It's far too noisy. You can't hear what anyone's saying, unless you're practically shouting. We were there less than an hour and I started getting a headache. 2. We did not particularly enjoy our food (bacon flight was fine, but nothing special) and feel it was very overpriced for what it was. We got the Savory Soufflegg and Blueberry Cloud French Toast. The filling in the French toast made it taste doughy and was really off putting. According to my husband the Savory Soufflegg was lacking in flavor. The potatoes were ok, but the toast wasn't very good. Neither of us finished our plates and we left unsatisfied. 3. Small dogs were allowed inside on chairs. 4. The tables are small, and barely big enough to fit all the food. They were also spaced pretty close together. 5. The food didn't come out at the same time. The egg dish came out 3-5 minutes after the bacon and French toast. They didn't say anything about it taking longer, or acknowledge it wasn't ready yet. This seemed common as I also noticed another table that had some food brought out pretty quickly, but the egg dish for them came out about 10 minutes later. read more

Outstanding environment, food presentation, service and flavor. Too long of a wait without providing weekend reservations. read more

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 read more

Nice atmosphere little uppy but an overall nice experience they did talks a long time for a lunch would not recommend if you are on a time limit for work or anything but great food. read more

The place was cute but the food was very disappointing. Everything was kind of bland and the portions were pretty small considering what they charged. read more

I'm rounding up. If it was possible to leave a 4.5, that's what id give Sweet Maple. My husband loved the Benedict with asparagus and millionaire bacon. I tasted his hollandaise and it is the perfect balance. I was disappointed in my savory soufflé- bland eggs and only four teeny tiny shrimp. Potatoes were delicious. If you're open to suggestions- for such an upscale place, I think the use of those little jam packets is rather tacky. If it was my restaurant, I'd put out tiny little cups of jam instead or offer jam on request if you're afraid of waste read more

Good food and ambiance. Loved the hospitality. Mimosa is really great and overall it's a wonderful place.

First time customers, the interior atmosphere is stunning, I would say one of the most beautiful restaurant interiors in Walnut Creek. Outside seating is also available. We ordered a plate of soft scrambled eggs (we agreed that these may be best eggs we've ever tasted), regular bacon cooked perfectly crisp, and the Tornado Omurice dish with short rib meat, a tasty rice wrapped in egg, beautifully presented. Service was excellent, prices are just over what you'd pay elsewhere but the entire dining experience, from the moment you walk in is elevated and well worth the extra few dollars. Highly recommend. read more

Food is very good , service is amazing and ambience, I will definitely go back and bring my family

My party and I, went forearms breakfast go to the location at 8:00am, and it was already a long line with a waiting list for 30 min. But when we were finally seated, we choose outdoor seating we had a companion join as well. The weather was nice not hot or cold, when we were seated we had a nice welcoming greeting, the service was *****. Our companion was even served by surprise a bowl of water. Then our meals arrived OMG! The smells coming from the food and presentation was nice, but when began the meal. *****. The food was flavorful and filling. This place is a *****. Great for date Night. Enjoy! read more

Over the holiday weekend I invited my friends and colleagues to try the brunch. We had a great time. The food was delicious but the service was spectacular. Kiki took great care of us and even took our photo. This a fun new place in Walnut Creek. You will love it. read more

the quality of this food is insane! consistently so delicious. i got the chicken scramble and it was insanely good. well-seasoned, eggs cooked to perfect texture. also, the ambiance is lovely, cozy, and clean. fast service! read more

Love this place! Had the million dollar scrambled eggs and will go back again for this. It was very busy today, as expected but they were so accomodating. They had a waitlist going & thought they wouldnt be able to get us seated for at least an hour with the way it looked, but they seated us in 15 minutes. All the staff was great! The owner was personable and even engaged with my son. Overall, I will definitely go back again. Its my go-to now when I feel like having a nice brunch. read more

The French toast is amazing - it tasted like an indulgent churro and was filled with blueberry compote. I am always on a quest for the best French toast and I found it. read more

I was introduced to this place by a business colleague. I loved the food selection and vibe. Came back with my family for Brunch. It was terrific a second time too. read more

Best pound for pound meal I've had in a while. Everything was great. Every piece of fruit, bread, best breakfast potatoes, mil bacon, and eggs cooked perfect, etc read more

We came for Father's Day celebration. As usual, food was great! Service was quick, and they actually added some outdoor seating which was great. My kids love that there were flowers on each table every single time we dine at Sweet Maple. This is our 4th visit. They love that there were a variety of coloring materials to keep them entertained while eating. I had the matcha again, and my husband had the dirty coffee, which were perfect, just like the last time. Pot roast, crispy Brussel sprouts, and the crab Benedict were all just as we imagined it to be. Perfection. Thank you for making the dishes tasty and enjoyable! read more

All was amazing - beautiful interiors, lots of team members to help, fantastic food. Downtown Walnut Creek at its best. Gotta get reservations early! read more

Sweet Maple is a real gem. The souffle is like a savory cloud with bacon on top. The restaurant was packed with a line out the door, but the people were nice, and efficient. The matcha latte was also divine. Thank youse! read more

This by far the best breakfast restaurant in Walnut Creek, the food is amazing and service is outstanding. Don't waste your time with any other breakfast spot. The ingredients are high quality which reflects in their price. There is a reason they have two hour waits at times!!!! read more

My high hopes remain for this place. Perhaps I chose poorly, but the French toast was just too thick to incorporate the flavors and texture in every bite. The Korean fried chicken was flavorful but very dry. I should have tried one of the Benedicts! I'd go back for the Millionaire's bacon alone! read more

Where to begin... we went first thing on Sat morning we loved it! We had reservations and they took us right away. Let me just say, sometimes photos online look one way and then the food comes out and the taste doesn't match how delicious the photos appear, but in this case it was spot on! Everything was delicious from the incredible bacon to the real maple syrup and good coffee. Well seasoned chicken with the croffle moist fluffy pancakes and savory rib eye and rice! We enjoyed ourselves! Also, maybe I'll get this out of the way for people commenting about the prices - are they inexpensive no, but this isn't McDonald's either. I'm curious what folks want them to do? This is a business they don't work for free. IMO they charged the prices and they delivered in every aspect of their business again in my opinion. The food is delicious the service was friendly and fast. The ambiance felt exactly like what brunch should feel like bright airy welcoming and comfortable. The right about of chic without the stuffy stiffness. I'm not giving them a 5 because they were perfect. I'm giving them a 5 because when we pointed out something about my meal our server responded quickly and addressed the issue and some. THAT is how you treat customers. We'll be back for sure! read more

Really pretty average fries were soggy. The crab sandwich was mostly mayonnaise butter and bread. There was some crab on it. I suppose I may go back. It's not a bad setting easy in and out to 680. read more

In reply to your response, Steven, yes, I know egg prices are high, and restaurants have responded in kind, but as far as being priced the same as other brunch spots, your restaurant is definitely higher. My husband and I go out weekly for brunch/breakfast all over the local area, and have NEVER spent $109 (with tip) for two, at any other restaurant. We didn't have any alcohol that would have bumped the price up, so that, to us, was way over the top price-wise for an everyday brunch meal. While we enjoyed your food, we cannot justify paying that much for bacon (even millionaire bacon) and eggs at a weekday breakfast meal. We'll be back, just not anytime soon. read more

So delicious!! 5 stars!! Appetizers are the best! Service was friendly and food came out fast and hot.
