5 stars for helping me throw a great event and not having to worry about feeding my guests! Recently placed a big order (for roughly 50 people for a housewarming party) with no prior history tasting their food or even hearing about them from anyone other than the internet.and the food was GREAT. We picked up the platters, which were all displayed beautifully, and our guests loved it. Would absolutely use them again!

This is a really good breakfast and brunch place in Walnut Creek. We went on Friday morning and we had to wait for 20 minutes. They only had outdoor dining since they were undergoing renovation inside. We ordered a urbanos bowl, hippie happy bowl, avocado multigrain toast, carnitas and country style potatoes. The bowls were really good and loved the combination of Spanish rice with the fajita tofu and fresh veggies in that.
The sauce was also really great. The mint sauce on the side of the hippie happy bowl was herbaceous and well balanced. The multigrain toast in the avocado toast was exceptional. It had a really nice nutty flavor. The portions were really filling. The staff were friendly and polite.

Always really great service. Thank you! Order at counter once they assign you a seat. I always get the Dick's Special (Richard, Ha) with French toast. Parking can be hard to find when they're busy. Tip: there's parking spots in the back but you'll need to enter through S California (Yoga Flow SF) or go the wrong way in the parking lot.

The breakfast we ordered was very delicious. [Chelsea's Omelette (egg whites, zucchini, broccoli, spinach, jack cheese, and avocado, with side of kale & broccolini), lemon ricotta pancakes (lemon ricotta pancakes served with mascarpone whipped cream and blueberry compote),a nd cinnamon swirl french toast (cinnamon swirled chalian bread dipped in spiced egg batter)] The service was okay. They were busy on a Tuesday morning, so small details were overlooked. Cant wait to return and taste the other things on their menu.

Ok where to begin this place is super super awesome. Maria walked into to our house like she was family. She is the best I mean best host ever she toke care of every little detail very attentive very helpful in every way and super organize she sit up beautiful she was there to help people with everything. If you ever need a caterer please if you are lucky enough ask for Maria and hope she is available.

We hired Sunrise Catering for a baby shower this past weekend, and the food was INCREDIBLE. Seriously, so good. Everyone raved about the food. We ordered mini croissant sandwiches, Cesar goddess salad, Mac n Cheese, a cheese platter, fruit platter, 2 quiches, and deviled eggs. The gentleman who delivered our order was so friendly, the process to order was easy and efficient. I will definitely be ordering here again.

I've been going to Sunrise Bistro for the past 10 or so years. It's always top notch. The food is always fresh, tasty and the portions perfect. At present (December 2021) they have outdoor seating and the area is heated. Staff are all very friendly and service is on point. This place is very popular so expect a slight wait for a table but well worth it.

Huge portions, good service, outdoor seating with tents and heat lamps. Our family always leaves this place happy and full. They only have outdoor seating right now and streamline the process of reserving a table, ordering at the register once your table is ready, then sitting and waiting for drinks and food to come with you. Servers and bussers still walking around serving you and making sure you are enjoying your meal.

Excellent breakfast spot. None of the places would have a line to get in at 10 AM on Saturday. This one does and it tells a lot about the quality of the food. Although coffee might need some improvement. Mr. Diablo and Ty's where top notch. Add a little bakery to your order and you have a one successful day ahead of you Give it a buffer of 20 minutes to get seated and enjoy your wonderful breakfast.

I was recently involved in the planning of a family event and we are so happy that we chose Sunrise Bistro Catering. Planning was easy, the menu had lots to choose from. Our server was wonderful in all aspects, food prep and set up, serving as well as clean up. I would not hesitate to use them again and recommend them whole heartedly. By the way, the food was great, looked beautiful and there was lots of it!

We have worked with Sunrise Bistro & Catering in the past and we absolutely love working with them. The food quality is always the best - for the two events we have had catered through them (brunch and lunch events) was absolutely delicious. Their team is great to work with, they are always so accommodating and work with you to make sure everything is perfect.
For both event, the food has been delivered to the venue and both times it was delivered on time, set-up by a staff member, and ready to go. It has always been a seamless transaction with this team. From start to finish the experience at Sunrise Bistro & Catering was beyond perfect. I would gladly recommend and work with this team again in the future!

We were delighted by the food and service provided by Sunrise for our recent anniversary party. They were friendly and efficient as I explored menu options and adjusted the size of our party from 50 to 70. The food arrived right on time and just as expected. They worked with me to identify vegan and GF options and provided label cards so I could keep guests informed.
Many guests remarked on the quality and tastiness of the food, and we continue to enjoy ample leftovers after the event. If you're looking for excellent quality food with no drama, I recommend Sunrise highly!

Perfect. Delivery was right on time, actually we had to call them to delay it a bit as we were running late from our memorial event and they were very accommodating. Only thing I'd say that I learned, is to order less. Ordering for 30 gave us 30 of everything, 3 different kinds of sandwiches (meaning 90 sandwiches!), etc and we had way too much left over. But it was all perfect and everyone was very happy.

We love Sunrise for catering, they're our go-to! I work in an office of about 15 people in Walnut Creek, and it's safe to say we all have extremely divergent taste when it comes to lunch. But Sunrise always has something for everyone, and what's even better (especially for me, as someone who is health conscious and has food sensitivities) is that all the food is clean, healthy, often organic/local, and for the most party pretty anti-inflammatory.
But even people who prefer less healthy food LOVE it when we have Sunrise lunch days. We really love the roasted chicken with tomatoes and the tri tip steak, the seasonal roasted veggies, the potato salad (this coming from someone who typically finds potato salad gross), and the taco bar is phenomenal. I'm surely forgetting some things. If someone asked me where to get catering in Walnut Creek or the greater Walnut Creek area, I would say Sunrise Catering, hands down.

I have yet to eat at this restaurant but have enjoyed their catering on two different occasions. Fist off we need to talk about their monkey bread! The bread is crispy carmalized on the outside and the perfect dough on the inside. I mean I have made this many times at home before but have made nothing nowhere near as well as this place! Secondly is their watermelon feta bites.
They are super cute squared piece of watermelon topped with herbed feta cheese and mint. Delicious! Third they have an amazing spinach artichoke bread! creamy cheesey goodness spread all over toasties. I have had a bunch of other delicious treats from here as well. A must try for anyone!

All I have to say is the food was bland. I don't know why they can't salt their food correctly? The latkes were terrible, cold, and it just looked like a hash brown patty. The store bought latkes from Trader Joe's taste far superior! Very disappointed! My husband ordered an omelette that came out lukewarm with the cheese half melted.
No offer of Jam or Jelly to go with his bread and no flavor on the side of potatoes that were supposed to have been pan fried in garlic. Update: So I found out that this establishment purposely doesn't salt their food because apparently they cater to a lot of elderly customers. If you would like your food to taste like something or to simply have salt in your food please request and remind the waiter to tell the Chef to add Salt/ seasoning to your food.
I find it absurd that I must ask for my food to be seasoned as I always thought that seasoning food was the norm for a restaurant. They should put a sign saying that they don't add seasoning, because not everyone wants to eat eggs by adding salt on top of it or cold fake latkes with salt on top. One can assume that their food is below par simply from the fact that their latkes can be beaten by trader joes.

Sunrise catered my daughters graduation party on 6/2/18. From the first thoughts of using Sunrise to delivery on 6/2/18, the process was flawless Jennifer, the catering manager, was friendly and professional while figured out which package would work best for our party, including changing my total a couple days before. She surely is a valuable asset to the catering dept.
Our delivery was precise and on time, the young lady was very friendly. Not to mention, the food was DELISH ( and healthy) THANK YOU so much Sunrise Catering for taking a lot of the stress of throwing the perfect party away Nancy Camozzi

They just catered my daughter's first birthday party. I didn't want to spend $$$ but didn't want to bother cooking either. I remembered that they catered my friends wedding and it was good. I called and spoke to Erin Grimm in the catering department. She was very helpful and friendly. Our food arrived on time and it was delish. We had chicken, prime rib, pasta salad, Caesar salad, fruir, cheese, and bread. Everyone raved. I'll definitely use them again.
