      Ordered the loco moco. Delicious all the way. Service was quick, attentive.

      Pancakes are also tasty and delicious. Fluffy, and perfectly cooked.

      We were in the neighborhood for a wedding and heard some great things about this place so came here to try and had a nice meal. Came here for a Monday brunch so was seated right away though it was busier than expected. Service was very friendly and fast so all good there.

      We got the loco moco and the blackstone benedict and they were both good though my favorite was the blackstone benedict. Loco moco had a unique twist, with essentially a katsu patty over a layer of kimchi and rice.

      Cute place all in all in line with other clean modern restaurants. Definitely recommended (if I lived closer, I'd come again).

      This is my second time trying sweet maple, and my opinion has definitely changed a lot since then.

      Sweeter options + drinks here are great. Would highly recommend Chicken Croffle. The chicken was cooked well, waffle was tasty, and the portion was hugee!

      Our server was great & once we were seated, food came out rather quickly.

      This place usually has a long wait but we were able to get seated quickly on a Friday morning.

      Beautifully decorated inside.

      I feel like this place is hyped up because of the aesthetics. The food was okay - nothing special. The million dollar bacon was pretty good - sweet and spicy.

      Walked right in on a weekday around 11am and there was no waiting. We were seated right away and were able to get a table outside. The place is really nice, plenty of of seating inside and a few tables outside.

      We orders the millionaire bacon and it was good, mine even had a gold leaf. It has a
      Bunch of flavors, but alittle too sweet for me, my friend loved it.

      I went with the Dungenuss crab omelette and it was good. You are able to taste and flavor the crab which is shredded inside and it is through out the omelette. Will order it again.

      I ordered the Ube Dirty Latte, and it was good, no sugar was needed.

      Came in for lunch and this place is so hip!

      Started off with a bunch of apps. Corn ribs, fries, and the fried chicken. The corn was beautifully done and tender but firm. The fires were just average, but the ranch dipping sauce was great. The Korean fried chicken is a staple here, sweet, crispy, juicy, and just perfect!

      I then had the haas salad which was huge. The chicken is perfectly cooked and seasoned and the greens are fresh and bright. It did have a tad bit too much dressing for me but something to remember for next time.

      Service was prompt, but this place does get busy. Parking is plenty as there are lots and streets spots all around.

      It took me a few tries to be able to try Sweet Maple (given that they don't take reservations) and I can see why.

      During my first visit I had the omurice omelet (fried rice inside) and on the second visit I split the chicken croffle (large portion, too big for one person!) with a friend. Good coffee and pleasant to eat both outside and inside. Lots of Korean fusion dishes to choose from with straight ahead egg breakfasts as well.

      Get there early before the brunch/lunch rush, or you'll have to find another place to dine. But if you're determined to wait, it's right next door to Verve, which has both ample seating and plenty of caffeine to see you through.

      Finally got to try Sweet Maple with a friend who also had been wanting to go for awhile now.

      First thing's first: add yourself to Yelp waitlist when you arrive. There was a line even to put our name down when I got there (Saturday at 11:30am) but once I did, it quoted me 5-15 minutes and sure enough our table was ready in 10.

      I got the matcha moffle ($16) which had the perfect amount of matcha flavoring (not too bitter and overpowering), a good mochi chew too, but I got bored after a few bites. I also ordered a side of millionaire's bacon, which you can only get the "original" and sunny side up eggs for an additional $13. Like others had described, the thick cut bacon also reminded me of Chinese beef jerky (not a fan) with an additional sweet sugary drizzle. Despite the hype with the bacon, we would not order this again.

      My friend got the tornado galbi omurice ($25). After one bite she said "this is ok". I concur.

      Everything we ordered was "ok". The best thing we had were the ube lattes which were creamy, ube-y, and not too sweet.

      Service was good.

      Pricy here. It was about $45/pp including tip.

      Have had Sweet Maple bookmarked for a long time and finally made a trip. We ordered the bacon candy, Gardena soufflegg skillet and one croffle.

      The millionaires bacon was good. Nothing spectacular and def not worth $14 price tag (for two pieces), imo. The soufflegg was extremely dry, under seasoned and the most notable part of the dish were the potatoes, those were excellent. But for an egg dish, the star should be the eggs. Lastly the croffle. This was the best thing we ate. Airy and crisp, sweet and flavorful. But still not something I go out of my way for.

      The service was good, waiter was nice and the hostess helped fit our big party nicely at our table inside.

      Overall, my experience was good. But sadly didn't meet the expectations I had for this place.

      Ive been here a couple of times and it's such a cute brunch place. I came here recently on a weekday during lunch and I was seated immediately. They were also very accommodating for my friend who was handicap. I got their matcha latte tea and their omelet and it was so yummy. Our food actually came out first before our drinks. The food is a bit pricey but the presentation of the food is very high quality. I would recommend this place for a nice hang out. The outside area is nice too.
