Opening Soon: Sweet Maple Bringing Millionaire's Bacon To Walnut Creek

WALNUT CREEK, CA — Bay Area brunch chain Sweet Maple is opening soon in Walnut Creek, The Mercury News reported.

The restaurant at 1523 Giammona Dr. in downtown Walnut Creek will be the fifth location of the restaurant specializing in Millioinaire's Bacon, as featured on the Discovery Channel show, "United States of Bacon."

The original Sweet Maple on Sutter Street in San Francisco was followed by locations in Palo Alto, Cupertino and Santa Monica.

The Walnut Creek space is the most beautiful yet, with art specifically designed for the location, co-owner Hoyul Steven Choi told The Mercury News.

Sweet Maple's Walnut Creek location has been in the works since 2022— long enough for residents to build up quite an appetite for French toast and all the fixings.

"Expect to see the same beloved brunch dishes of its sister eateries, from deep-fried French toast to bottomless mimosas and bloody marys and, of course, that bacon," the newspaper reported.

That's right, locals will soon be able to enjoy bacon to their heart's extent. A sampler platter of Millionaire's Bacon is $25 and features Original Bacon, Citron Bacon, Cinnamon Bacon and Rosemary Bacon. Diners can also order Millionaire's Candy; for $12, it comes with four slices of candied bacon.

For those seeking healthier choices, the Open Face is $30 and features raw smoked salmon, capers, a poached egg, cucumber wasabi and more on toasted garlic butter sourdough.

According to The Mercury News, which hails Sweet Maple as one of "11 eagerly anticipated Bay Area restaurants for 2025," the eatery is set to open in February in Walnut Creek.
