Sweet Maple
1523 Giammona Dr, Walnut Creek, CA
Crema's Take
“Sweet Maple in Walnut Creek is a bustling brunch destination where generous portions and thoughtfully presented dishes shine alongside a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere that makes lingering over coffee feel like the whole point. While the espresso drinks lean traditional rather than adventurous, the real magic here is in the complete experience—solid food execution, attentive service even during larger parties, and that rare quality of a space where you actually want to settle in and stay awhile. It's the kind of place where a Millionaire's Bacon Flight and quality time with friends matter more than chasing the perfect extraction.”

Just wanted to send a huge shout-out about the absolutely fantastic brunch experience my spouse, our friends, and I had recently! Honestly, we had such an amazing time! From the second we stepped in, the whole atmosphere was just buzzing with awesome energy. It felt so lively and vibrant, with all the chatter and laughter, and all the birthday celebrations really kicked the festive vibes up a notch. It totally set the mood for a super fun gathering. But what truly blew us away was how incredibly smoothly everything ran, especially considering how packed it was! It's clear this place is super popular, and despite that, the staff handled everything like absolute pros. We never felt rushed or overlooked, and everyone was so attentive and genuinely friendly. Seriously, keeping that level of service when it's so busy is nothing short of amazing! We will definitely be back !!!!!!
The best brunch we ever been to! All of the food we ordered was amazing including the coffee. Service and ambiance was great as well. We will be back for sure!
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.
