(KRON) — One of San Francisco’s most popular brunch spots is opening its first East Bay location. Sweet Maple is opening next week in downtown Walnut Creek, the restaurant announced Thursday in a news release.
Sweet Maple’s grand opening will be Monday, Feb. 24 at 1523 Giammona Drive on the northern part of downtown Walnut Creek. It is about one block south of the Target. The 3,600-square-foot restaurant with a capacity of 150 people will also include outdoor patio seating.
The Walnut Creek location marks the fifth Sweet Maple to open, joining Palo Alto, Cupertino, San Francisco and Santa Monica (Los Angeles).
The Sweet Maple takes over the space formerly occupied by Japanese restaurant Tozai Izakaya, which closed in 2022. It neighbors Tacos Walnut Creek and Skipolini’s Pizza. Sweet Maple adds to the recent list of establishments set to open in the East Bay suburb: Hilton Garden Inn and Original Joe’s.
Known for its “Millionaire’s Bacon,” Sweet Maple has gained popularity among brunch goers since opening its first San Francisco location on Sutter Street in 2010.
