    Outside. Storefront. Entrance. Host stand is outside. Entire party must be present to be seated.
    Daniel B.

    The food, drink, service, and ambiance at Sweet Maple in Walnut Creek were excellent. This is a great breakfast and brunch restaurant with five locations in the San Francisco Bay Area. It's popular and deservedly so. We visited the Walnut Creek location for a Saturday brunch at 10:15 AM. When we arrived, it was already packed with people waiting outside. You can book a reservation for this location with Yelp. The staff is fairly strict about an entire party being present before they can be seated. Our family brought a party of eight. Here's what I got to try on my side of the table: DRINKS Barista's Favorites * Oat Uji Organic Matcha ($9) - 1st harvest matcha grade, oat milk Mimosas & Spicy Friends * Millionaire's Mary ($16) - vodka, spicy housemade Bloody Mary mix, tajin rim, Millionaire's Bacon FOOD Small Bites * Earl Grey Blueberry Croffle ($16) - croissant waffle, burrata, blueberry marinated in Earl Grey and basil EVOO, housemade blueberry marmalade * Korean Fried Chicken ($16) - boneless crispy fried chicken chunks, hot and sweet gochujang sauce served on the side Millionaire's Bacon * Millionaire's Bacon ($15) - original; thick, free-range bacon, baked with brown sugar, cayenne, red and black pepper Benedict & Friends * Blackstone ($26) - poached eggs on ciabatta, served with potato medley; Millionaire's Bacon, asparagus, cherry tomato, Meyer lemon hollandaise, chive Kitchen Specials * Tornado Galbi Omurice ($26) - twisted scrambled egg over fried rice and vegetables, braised short rib, demi-glace scallion, pickled onion, chive, cherry pepper Maple Plates * Marnier French Toast ($18) - extra fluffy thick milk bread, bruleed on top, Grand Marnier cream batter; served with Maldon salt, pure maple syrup * Coconut Moffle with Brie ($21) - coconut mochi waffle, brie, housemade raspberry marmalade, raspberry, truffle honey dressing Everything was outstanding and high-quality all around. The ingredients were fresh and everything was plated and/or presented beautifully. This place is a well-oiled machine. If you've never had Sweet Maple's award-winning Millionaire's Bacon before, it's a must-try. And if you like Bloody Marys like me, their Millionaire's Mary is worth getting too. Just note it is legit spicy (and thick). Among the items listed above, my favorites were the Earl Grey Blueberry Croffle, the Korean Fried Chicken (they do it well), and the Coconut Moffle with Brie. However, your mileage may vary, so don't let that stop you from trying the other dishes (because I also loved the Blackstone Eggs Benedict and the Omurice). They just know how to make good food. Service was fantastic. Everyone was friendly and attentive, including the hostess, manager, and servers. I'd describe the atmosphere as "California contemporary." The restaurant space is nice with both indoor and outdoor seating. As far as parking, we did metered parking on the street in front of nearby Caffe La Scala (N Main St).

    This one is located in Walnut Creek. There is metered street parking outside of the restaurant however, there is also a parking garage nearby which is walking distance to here. So, it was my first time having brunch here. We came 30 mins after they opened and they're already getting busy. But we didn't have to wait. We were seated right away. The food was amazing! I really loved the Tornado Galbi Omurice. But actually I loved everything we ordered. Me and my friends ordered a few things and shared everything. We also ordered the Marnier French Toast, which had a sort of brûlée topping it was crispy and sweet, I loved it. And we had the Crispy Brussels Sprouts and Millionaire's Candy (bacon). OMG that bacon had the right amount or sweetness. Salty and crispness. It went very well with everything we ordered. For drinks I had the Ube Latte and the other girls had Coconut Chai latte. I'm glad I ordered a latte versus a regular coffee. Now, the ambiance; it looks very classy but not intimidating. I love the light fixtures. No complaints on customer service. Our server was really nice and move quickly. I can't wait to come back to try other things on the menu.

    If bacon had a hall of fame, Sweet Maple would definitely be in it. I can see why this place is so popular. The bacon was hands down the star of the meal. crispy, flavorful, and honestly some of the best I've had. Everything we ordered was delicious, and the service was great from start to finish. I also loved the atmosphere. The restaurant feels bright, open, and airy, making it a really enjoyable place to sit and enjoy a meal. It has a welcoming vibe that makes you want to stay a little longer. Great food, great service, and amazing bacon. I'll definitely be back.

    We came for Mother's day and the service did not disappoint. Smiling faces, attentive, and the food was good. We both had the chicken and waffles and mimosas. Thanks for a great experience.

    Florentine Benedict

    3.5/5 Feels a bit overrated with the long wait times and high prices. Service was decent, but it definitely felt like they were trying to turn the table and rush us out the door as fast as possible. Ube latte - lots of ube flavor and didn't feel too sweet or fake. I don't think there's coffee in this though, and it was $10 with oat milk!? 3/5 Millionaires bacon - basically pork belly with how thick the slices are! Rich and candied tasting. The flight was fun to try, my favorite was the original or rosemary. 4.5/5 Florentine Benedict - I liked this but it was pretty basic. 4/5 Lucy burger - fries didn't seem seasoned enough and the burger was okay. I'm an in-n-out girl and all burgers are the same to me tbh but my partner (who has a more refined burger palate) did not like this one. 2/5

    Excellent egg dishes for breakfast. my friend had a coconut iced drink that he said was excellent. Only getting four stars because of the price, not the food.

    I finally got to gooo!! This place always has a wait and i totally see why! The food options are amazing , the aesthetic is very warm and open. I luckily went with a big group so that means--- more dishes i get to try ! I don't think anyone has any commentary about the meals except that it was really good! **HIGHLIGHTS** Millionaires bacon flight , crab Benedict , Korean fried chicken and of course. Mimosas. Check out my food page @shecameand.ate for a my review!

    Cappuccino 10/10
    Christina S.

    The restaurant is beautiful. Outside makes you feel like you're on a vacation.... And inside makes you feel like you've just arrived at your destination of a hotel lobby on vacation. Lol It's bright and inviting and open with tall ceilings. Almost feels very communal as well. The service is amazing, greeted with smiles and welcomes. So far, everyone has been amazing and I've been three times almost in a row with different people every time. Funny I visited a sweet maple at a different location. Didn't like it and was skeptical on going to this one so I put it off for a few years until recently and I'm so happy I showed up. I really think they have one of the best cappuccino's. The best kimchi. And the best brussels sprouts I've ever had. But of course call me bias that's my personal opinion. My family now looks forward to trying it again for lunchtime. I've had the Ramen, the stone pot, brussels sprouts.... Drinks chicken, and Croffle and a few others. The blueberry early grey coffee come so why cheese which was unexpected and the croffle almost feel uncooked fully in the center... quite chewy probably won't get that again but the rest has been enjoyable. I'll be back. :).

    Food was ok, one of my poached eggs on my Blackstone Benedict was not runny, although the other flavors were sufficient. I'll give them props on the brussel sprouts, as they were crispy and flavorful. My daughter ordered the chicken croffle and found the texture to be odd and didn't finish the chicken which was very surprising. Service was good we were greeted we seated immediately and was checked on for filling the waters. Ambience was chill as everybody was engaged in conversations with those who they were breaking bread with. Probably won't go back, twas a little pricey, and because we'll just continue to try other new places and some of our favorite spots! Giving this place three yummms up and a better luck next time !

    Came here to meet up with out of town friends staying in wine country. The moment you walk in, I feel like I'm in a chic West Hollywood brunch spot. Who knew this was in Walnut Creek? I was sat in the back, quiet, great place to talk. I browsed the menu and already had an idea what I wanted until I saw Millionaire Bacon and deep fried blueberry French toast . Ummmm yes please. Yes, order the bacon. It's delicious full of flavor and not overly greasy. It's more on the chewy vs crispy crunchy side. Still worth it and it doesn't cost a million bucks The cocktail looking caffeinated coffee drink was delicious. This is what happens when I wait too long to write the review; I forget the names. ‍. it reminded me of a shakerato or an Einspiner from 10K coffee. It was a cigar looking thing to it. Loved it! The French toast was nicely fried. Not too sweet. Just enough flavors. Need to come back with the family to eat other mochi pancakes and Bennie's too. The staff were Thai so obv great hospitality

    Waffle

    Came here for breakfast the spot on the outside is unassuming and unless you were looking for it yours walk right past not knowing it was there. But inside is modern and has a really chill vibe. They have a patio also. The servers are really engaging and it appeared that it didn't matter who took your order everyone would check in on you. The food was really good but this place can get pricey so that's why I gave it 4. But this is California so I guess! I went with the crab sandwich is was really good like most people I wish it had more crab in there but taste wise A1! My daughter (picky eater) went with the waffle. She claimed it wasn't good but I tasted it and it was good had the croissant taste with a little cinnamon! I would definitely get it. I saw the chicken and waffle it looked really good! My wife went with an egg breakfast. It came with potatoes and it was a potato medley that good also. With an added on millionaire bacon. That was tasty but it was also pricey! Overall it is a spot I would visit again!

    Short rib pot
    Rachel B.

    An elegant brunch spot with surprisingly comfortable seating and beautiful decor. I had the short rib pot here and it was well balanced with veggies and meat, and a sweet sauce that paired nicely.

    Millionaire beacon

    Delicious food. Had a vegetarian Soufflegg Skillet. Gardena Skillet -Sauteed mushrooms, spinach, bell peppers with cherry tomatoes. It was incredible and so fluffy. Great flavor and the espresso martini was the best I've ever had. My husband loved the famous millionaire beacon. Wait gets long on weekends. Staff was friendly and attentive

After waiting quite a while for someone to come to our table, we finally placed our drink order. I ordered a cappuccino and asked for sugar. When it didn't come, I reminded our server. She still did not bring it. I waited roughly 15 to 20 minutes, long enough for my cappuccino to get cold, before I had to physically get up and ask someone else to find our server. Only after reminding her again was the sugar finally brought over. It then took another 30 to 40 minutes for someone to come take our actual food order. Our server was unfriendly, disengaged, and gave the impression that she simply did not want to be there. There was no warmth, no apology for the delays, and no effort to check in or improve the experience. The food was also disappointing. Other than the pizza, most of what we ordered either arrived lukewarm or simply did not taste good. Between the poor service, the long waits, and the underwhelming food, the entire meal felt careless from start to finish. I understand restaurants can have difficult days, but this was not just a small delay or one missed item. It was a consistently poor experience throughout the visit, and frankly, not what I would expect from Main Street Kitchen.

Everything looked great when it arrived at the table. Unfortunately, the food itself just wasn't for me. The hash browns tasted more like fried mashed potatoes, and overall the meal looked much better than it tasted. As someone who enjoys good food, I was disappointed because the flavors didn't match my expectations. The service was the highlight of the visit and is the reason for the rating. While I appreciated the staff and the atmosphere, the food simply wasn't something I enjoyed.

Then I asked hostess/aka owner Tammy. And it still never came out. I asked my own waitress again and she apologized for it never coming out (I thought that's why a waitress brings out your food, so they can also see if something is wrong with it before it reaches your table)-she brings me out a bowl of sour cream So I took the bowl And went to a third waitress and asked is this Chantilly cream and she says no that's sour cream So I asked for it again and another bowl of sour cream comes out Third waitress talks to owner who comes out to me and I show her on google what Chantilly cream really is and ask her to talk to her chefs about revising the menu bcuz it's misleading offering Chantilly Apparently the cream is mixed with something called Melba? A raspberry sauce...so I guess customers have not noticed the difference in the past or something...as a result, by itself, I DID notice... Anywho, no my waitresses fault, actually the fault of the chef/cook in the back. But owner shouldd know what that is before putting it on menu for people to order. But I appreciate Tammy's customer service, coming to me and talking to me about the menu sincerely and apologizing and offering to "take care of me" and my bill as I told her I would take care of her waitress despite all the mixup, for the kind gesture of bringing me in, in the beginning.

I really liked my lobster bucatini. The coconut ceviche was very fresh, not too sour and tart. My friend got the filet mignon skewers, and those were okay. We both got a drink as well. Service was friendly enough. The only thing that's rubbing me the wrong way is what we were charged on our bill. I am 100% sure I rounded my bill to $XX.00 because that's what I like to do, but when I saw the charge it was different. I am also sure I did not pay the exact amount as my friend (confirmed because she did the exact 18% rec), so to find out we both got charged the same amount.....very sus. I of course already threw away the receipt, but recalculating our meal...We definitely did not spend $100.67 each...So just be aware when you check your statement!! SKETCH!!!

    Mmmm...if you want an excellent burger, this is the place. This is the second time that I've been…read morehere when I was in the area and this time I tried the Johnny Cash burger- beef patty (cooked medium to my liking), white cheddar, thick applewood bacon, pickled sweet peppers, and homemade bbq sauce, and fried onion crisps. This type of burger is my go-to and I wasn't disappointed. So good and I didn't even request most bbq sauce because it was flavorful enough and not dry (like others make it). My friend got the grilled fish tacos and enjoyed them. Looked delicious and he was satisfied. We were seated quickly at the bar to watch the playoffs and all the servers were checking on us pretty regularly. We were well taken care of. Excellent place to go all around and we will come back when we're back in the area.

    This was a tasty meal so why the 3 stars? We waited a bit…read moreto have our order taken, server was prompt with our drinks but then sat for like 10 mins before he came back, when he did we gave him our order, he then came back and said someone distracted him so he forgot it (why not write it down like the other servers) and recanted it with a few things we didn't ask for so we repeated the order again. Later he used the same line at the table next to us and to be honest no one distracted him or talked to him I know because I was trying to get his attention to ask for something after we got the food which someone else got instead. Sister's burger was yummy she got a basic burger and said it was juicy and she liked the upgrade to her fries. I had the Desperado fries- and though coated with things they stayed crunchy, the steak was yummy though I wish it had a little more for the price. Not sure if there were refills to our drinks as we weren't asked but a hat tip to the food runners they were super nice and helpful. We came for lunch and they were busy so maybe on a slower paced day service could have been better and more prompt? Due to lack of parking options and ample offerings in the area we may not make a particular stop here.

    My sister went to The Hangout at Pleasant Hill but they put our party down for the one in Walnut…read moreCreek - how does that happen? I'm glad it did because she said there were a lot of people waiting outside at the PH location. By the time we made it to WC, our tables were ready. There were no long wait times for anyone who came after us, maybe 5 minutes. Crowds started thinning out around noon. This was the 1st time any of us dined at The Hangout and it did not disappoint. The staff was very inviting and friendly. The person who took care of us was very helpful with explaining menu items and making suggestions. We were a large party so they had to split our tables but we were right to each other. There is a spacious dining area as well as outdoor seating. Standout dishes: Chicken & waffle - BIG portion. The chicken was crispy and flavorful. It was so good, the entire plate was wiped clean. Crispy chicken with garlic noodles - delicious combination. The garlic noodles were made with real garlic, not just powder. They need to offer this as a side dish. Chicken pops - chopped up, sample size version of the chicken and waffles. Perfect for sharing. We will definitely come back to this location if we're in the area.

    I was looking for a brunch place in Walnut Creek and found The Hangout. After entering, I was…read morepleasantly surprised to see that it was Brunch + Asian Fusion. There were so many items that I wanted to try, but I only had one stomach. Came here on a Thursday morning and the restaurant was operating at around 20% capacity. The food: Garlic Noodle with Crispy Chicken - Garlic Noodles were tasty. The Crispy Chicken had really nice, almost tempura like batter. Wish it had a little sauce or something to bring it all together. Berry Lover Toast - Two large pieces of French Toast with a blueberry based inside, topped with a ton of stuff including sliced almonds, corn flakes, powdered sugar, sliced grapes and some thinly sliced oranges. There's a lot going on here. I did like the strawberry preserves as a topper - it seemed homemade and it wasn't too sweet. I didn't try any of my friend's Country Potatoes, but they looked legit. Good service and plenty of nearby parking. Properly named, as this is a good place to Hangout!

    We went in on a Monday late morning, and it was actually pretty busy. Maybe it is because summer…read morebreak has started for a lot of people, so people are out and about. We decide to sit at the bar area to sit on the stools instead of taking up a table. We ordered the crispy chicken eggs Benedict and choco banana pancakes. Let me tell you, the portions are large.. so make sure you bring an appetite. We ended up sharing our plates and I think we both agreed that we loved the crispy chicken eggs Benedict most- but they were both really delicious. The chicken was crispy. The eggs were cooked to perfection. The crispy potatoes, even though at first I was a little disappointed there was no hashbrowns, I am so glad! Those potatoes are amazing! The pancakes were pretty delicious as well, but I think the toppings and the caramelized banana bananas on the side were the best part. We also tried two different drinks. A Matcha latte as well as a 'butterfly pea latte'- which I believe was a lavender latte maybe? They were both very beautiful and delicious. The only downside to our experience here was that because it was pretty busy, our service was not as fast as we would like. So we had to ask for a couple of things, after getting the server's attention. Other than that, we had an amazing experience. We will be back to try more things on the menu soon!

It took us about 30 min before we were seated and we arrived around 1200. We just hung out in the parking lot until our name was called. The menu is pretty straightforward and of course, any brunch place I have to try their eggs Benedict. My usual go to is the Eggs Florentine (I prefer going the meatless options when it comes to my Benny) but the crispy chicken looked visually delicious. Crispy Chicken Benedict: This was as salivating as pictured. The chicken was super crispy, despite being underneath the Hollandaise sauce. Oh, and the sauce itself was perfect. It was their spicier version, so it had a bit of a kick after the second wave. The rest of the Benny is what I expect, the English muffins baked correctly and the eggs poached perfectly. The potatoes were crispy and not too oily as well. Overall, I had a great time at this restaurant. A bit small but it holds its charm. I can see myself coming back here again.
