Walnut Creek Restaurant Guide

Cindy (Stein) Gershen opened the original Sunrise Cafe & Bakery on South California Blvd. in Walnut Creek in 1981, baking her own breads and pastries, and is still the owner today. A family business, her son, Joe Stein, is the general manager.

Sunrise Bistro & Catering not only serves comfort food "like Mom used to make," but under Cindy's guidance is leading the way in how restaurants can make their food delicious and healthy for you! We use no hydrogenated oils (trans-fats) or high-fructose corn syrup in our recipes. We use fresh ingredients and salt sparingly to let you decide how much you want to have! We bake our own breads, pastries and desserts, along with preparing our own jam, berry compote, and salsa from scratch. You can enjoy our breakfast potatoes or potato salad, but we also offer other healthier options, such as brown rice or sweet potatoes. At Sunrise you are free to make your own choices for your best well-being!

We have recently remodeled our Sunrise Bistro and are now open for dinners. The Bistro is located in the Main Street Plaza on Botelho Drive. We are offering our Cuz'nz BBQ menu for lunch and dinner. We've also added a full bar with flat screen TV! Our Banquet Room can be reserved for private parties of 15 to 40 guests. And, of course, you can still enjoy outdoor dining on our patio.

Sunrise Catering prepares everything from cold buffets and box lunches to full-scale dinners and hors d'oeuvre receptions. We also offer outstanding breakfasts - hot or coldÑdelivered to your office or event. We deliver within the Tri-Valley area, and will go anywhere in the Bay Area under appropriate circumstances. By popular demand, we have also included BBQ in our catering repertoire! As with most of our catering, you can order BBQ menu items a la Carte or full meals for 15 or more.
