I went to Sweet Maple in SF years ago and have been a fan of Millionaire's bacon since. The food from this restaurant group is always creative and photogenic. The space is airy and we were able to get a table for 3 relatively easily on a Friday morning around 11am. Service was friendly but I get the feeling they are short staffed because sometimes it would take a while before they would get back to us. As for the food, everything was good but nothing blew my mind.

Had been seeing a lot of reels about Sweet Maple and their bacon flight. They offer 4 different flavors. My favorite was the original. MILLIONAIRE'S BACON® SAMPLER PLATTER *Original the one and only *Citron orange and sea salt goodness *Cinnamon hint of chipotle with sweet cinnamon *Rosemary savory rosemary and pepper with mild sweetness We tried the chicken and waffles as well as their Hass Omelette! Both were tasty, yet the home fries (Brussel potato mixture) weren't cooked done enough and lacked seasoning. The mango-tajin margarita was fire! Service was good. We were sat close to our reservation time. Parking is a doozy- leave time to locate a park and pay attention to the posted signage on the meters. They now have a location in Walnut Creek and can't wait to try there.

Came here in the weekend expecting to wait a long time but surprised that we waited only 10 minutes. Was able to order quick with the help of their wonderful staff. They're all nice and friendly and also very accommodating! Ended up ordering the egg soufflé which was so soft and light! The florentine benedict is a classic and was made well! Also love their potatoes! I love how crispy and light it is. Never had a bad experience here.

Meeting friends here for brunch, first time to this location for all of us. 10:30 ish on a weekday appears to be the sweet spot as it's off peak hours so the place was not as crowded when we got seated. Waitstaff were friendly, very attentive and efficient I ordered the chicken croffle, friends had the stone pot and Benedict. The chicken croffle came impressively pressented with a big stack of two pieces of fried chicken thighs and two pieces of croffles, I enjoyed the fruits and nuts as well as the crunchy chewy texture of the croffles, the chicken unfortunately was quite dry. The stonepot and Benedict both looked fantastic and very well enjoyed by the friends. The place did get very busy and noisy towards lunch time. The bene served with red potatoes and brussel sprouts looked so good, I will be ordering that next visit.

This place was such a cute brunch location that is thriving even during the weekdays! We came on a Thursday morning and it was almost full to the brim at 11 AM. We got the maple waffle and chicken - the chicken was super crunchy with a thicker batter, still really delicious but more crunch than crisp. Flavored well. The Croffle was pretty much a croissant smooshed in a waffle maker but surprisingly this was really gooood! It also came with a lot of cut fruits (grapes, blueberries, strawberries) We also got the brisket and omelette over rice with gravy which I thought was really yummy but my mother in law didn't like lol Ambience was superduper cute definitely had that downtown Palo Alto vibe! I would recommend this to be a nice go to brunch place with friends! Service was also really great (they had refilled my water a couple times!

We were looking for dog friendly places and decided to come here, but unfortunately it was really cold that day so we did not bring the dogs but came anyway. Plenty of outdoor seating outside. Went on a Wednesday for brunch and all the street parking nearby was gone. Luckily I found a parking spot in the garage nearby, it's free for 3 hours. We got seated pretty quickly but it was a little confusing whether or not to go inside to get seated or wait outside. Drinks: We ordered an Ube latte and Tiffany Blue mimosa. Both were really good! The Ube latte had good flavor, I think they used ube halaya and not just ube flavoring because at the end of my cup I saw small chunks of ube. Food: We shared 3 dishes, the blueberry moffle, 1 percenter burger, and tornado galbi omurice. The tornado galbi was my favorite. The galbi was tender and the sauce was so good. So filling too! It had a lot of rice. The burger was my second favorite but it was so hard to eat. I got it with salad and the plate was so full lol. The mochi waffle was a pretty standard mochi waffle but the blueberry flavor was amazing.

I ordered blueberry moffle. So yummy. It's mochi waffle, light chewy crunchy in delicious whip cream with blueberries. I would definitely come back for this one :) Nice ambient with friendly service.

Love this spot! The food was amazing. From the get go we had great service and the food was served promptly. The flavor profiles were on point with traditional breakfasts with an Asian twist. All of the dishes we had were perfectly plated. We started off with the Butter Fried Corn as a small plate and it was delicious. Small portions of buttered fresh cut corn (partially still on the cob) with some fried and battered rice cakes. I had the Hass Omelette which was topped with layers of avocado and a side of pico de gallo. Hopefully they could look at trying some mango salsa as an alternative, but regardless it was very good. I was surprised at how well I liked the Brussel potato medley, as I'm not usually a brussel sprout guy. I think I was traumatized as a kid with those! But these are perfectly sliced thinly and mixed in with the potatoes. A nice balance of flavor, but not too much. My daughter had the Matcha Moffle which was a matcha mochi flavored waffle with some matcha lava spread. I tried a taste and it was perfectly cooked. Light and airy with a a perfect balance of matcha flavor. I would definitely recommend giving this spot a try cause you won't be disappointed.

One of my close friends took me out here for brunch to celebrate finishing grad school. The ambiance provides a great spot for celebrating a special occasion or even catching up with an old friend. The breakfast dish I got was sort of like deep fried French toast. I am glad I added the bananas and walnuts because it brought different textures and dishes, my friend she got a egg skillet dish and she was very pleased by her meal. Staff was super accommodating and got us seated super quick despite there being lot of people dining that day.

2/14/2024 Came here for lunch w my mom for vday. This sweat maple is a lot bigger than the one in Cupertino. It was a very busy day for a special holiday. The wait was only about 25 minutes. The inside was nice and friendly. We ordered the sizzling stone pot w galbi (beef) ($26). It's like a bibimbap. I asked for extra sauce which was sweat and spicy. The beef was marinated which paired w the dish well. The matcha moffle ($16) was also delicious. Its got this chewy texture which was great with the matcha cream on the side. Overall it was an almost perfect day except out waiter didn't give us water until we asked for it after our foods both came out. He said that they ran out of cups
