    Sipeos in Walnut Creek: Fresh Mediterranean Food & Zero-Proof Cocktails

    by Deborah Bass Published: May 13, 2026

     

    “The discovery of a new dish does more for human happiness than the discovery of a star.”

    Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, French gastronome and author of The Physiology of Taste

     

    Walnut Creek, California has no shortage of restaurants, which makes this declaration meaningful: Sipeos is my go-to.

    I hesitate to lead by calling Sipeos a vegetarian restaurant, because I suspect some readers will immediately make assumptions.

    Please don’t.

    This is some of the freshest, most inventive, most craveable food I’ve had in Walnut Creek.

About Me

About Me

Hey, there. I'm Deborah~

Writer. Miner of meaning. Beautiful things seeker. I write about whatever sparks inspiration or brings joy—things that make my solar plexus twirl—travel, art, urban expeditions, and the human experience, as well as tougher topics like dark history. I don’t flinch from the hard stuff. Mostly, I love to open hearts and ignite emotion.

For Those Who’ve Asked

A small gesture to support this space 🌷

Why I Write

“One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul. Struggling souls catch light from other souls who are fully lit and willing to show it.”

—Clarissa Pinkola Estés, author of Women Who Run With the Wolves
