Sunrise Bistro & Catering is one of Walnut Creek's best-loved family-owned and operated businesses. Since 1981 this place has been making its own baked goods, pastries, smoked meats, salad dressings, and more from quality, locally- and ethically-sourced ingredients straight from area farms. All the meats and dairy are hormone free, all the grains are local, and all chicken products are free-range, which means that you can feel good about any meal you eat here.

Popular breakfast entrees include the French toast, yogurt pancakes, and corned beef hash, while the smoked brisket is the star of the lunch menu. Over the past few years, Sunrise’s catering business has grown extensively, with seven catering vans delivering food all over the region, so be sure to keep this place in mind next time you've got a special event coming up and need to feed a crowd.
