My first visit here was on Mother's Day this year! My daughter lives in Champaign and I came to visit and she was set on taking me here for Mother's Day brunch! She was raving about how good the food was and I said ok ok it can't be THAT amazing... she was right! This establishment doesn't take reservations, they do a waiting list. And when we woke up my daughter put us on the list and we were 189th!!! I said welp- we may need to have a back up plan because we're never gonna get in! But sure enough by the time we got dressed and ready and arrived, it worked out seamlessly and we walked straight in and to our table! I don't recall ever witnessing such a highly efficient, AND friendly team at a restaurant in my life. I was truly amazed that we made our way thru the waitlist, and despite it being an extremely busy day on a holiday, it was not at all chaotic. They had a system, and everyone knew their assignments! We were seated in a nice sunny booth for our meal. A server who wasn't even our main server came over to say hello and wish me a happy Mother's Day and offered to take our picture!! So sweet!!! Now to the food!!! Oh my goodness. I literally have not stopped thinking about this veggie skillet since Mother's Day!!!! The combinations!!! So they had sweet potato tater tots, mushrooms, spinach, eggs, pumpkin seeds, feta and dried cranberries!!!! A party in my mouth!!!! That combination was SO delicious!! Major kudos to the chef who put that on the menu! My daughter had the Tuscan omelette which had chicken sausage, spinach, sun dried tomatoes, & feta cheese. She said hers was amazing too!! Outstanding meal! I live in Evanston, IL and I'm telling you this brunch was so good I'm planning a trip back to go visit this place again!!! So yummy! And the staff was handing out single roses to all the moms on Mother's Day! How sweet was that!! And how thoughtful of them even on a CRAZY busy day!! Shouts out to the entire team there! Yall are doing a wonderful job! Keep it up!! read more

Quite literally the best breakfast place in the CU area. Though a bit expensive, you get what you pay for. The portion sizes are huge. Both the corned beef hash and steak and eggs are fantastic. Staff are friendly and the remodeled restaurant looks very homey. read more

Maple & Yolk - Corned beef hash with pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Urbana, Illinois

Food = amazing, lots of options, delicious. Service = accurate, friendly, prompt, attentive. Ambiance = clean, modern design. Passing through the on our way home, we wanted to stop for breakfast before hitting the road and this place is very close to the hotel. Love that they have a Bloody Mary option. So happy that we were able to get right in with our 8 person group. The menu offers ample options. I ordered the shareable cinnamon roll which did not disappoint. Also had the elevated breakfast sandwich that hit the spot. My daughter had the red velvet pancakes (pictured) and liked them. They are a work of art. We have this placed bookmarked to stop at next time we're passing through. My guess is that it's no secret that it's delicious though. read more

Was not expecting such a great meal here! Maple and yolk is new to Urbana and this breakfast place was much needed! Prior to this, there hasn't been a good go to place to meet friends or family for breakfast and maple and yolk now checks that box. We absolutely loved the cinnamon roll (which was massive) and I really enjoyed the veggie skillet. Breakfast sandwich was a hit too. Service was quick and we only waited about 15-20 min for a table-- quick turnarounds here. Cute inside and great little spot for brunch. read more

First time at Maple & Yolk. We were greeted with a smile and seated immediately. The chairs are very comfortable as is the bench seats. We ordered the chicken & waffles and a veggie omelet with bacon. The chicken & waffles were very good. The syrup included had a nice spice to it. The chicken was very crispy and the waffles were crispy in the outside and soft on the inside. The veggie omelet with bacon was delicious! It was packed with veggies. The pancakes were very good, nice and fluffy. The service was very friendly and checked up on us several times. read more

Once again in the University of Illinois C/U area. Everything pretty much still closed before school session begins. Set up a breakfast session at Maple & Yolk! Talia was our "Wrangler" We got in and our reservation was registering. Jokingly I thanked them for the ocean view. There "A" Game was in full gear. Ladies Ordered a round of Hot Chocolate Peppermint Cup & I went with a prosecco. There cheese curds are the bomb, WI should be proud. My crew ordered the Red Velvet French Toast, Bavon & sausages , I went, this time with Eggs Benedict with their Hash Browns. The portions are always huge! We all had to get "doggy bags". Talia was such a joy. They must hire positive people lovers! Looking forward to returning, zinnias si could say C/U best kept secret, but everyone knows this is the spot! Many Cheers & Mangia Baby! read more

I have so many amazing things to say about this place, first off this is exactly the type of brunch spot Champaign has been NEEDING! The inside is so cute and honestly because of the waitlist the wait wasn't bad at all! But if you don't add yourself to if before you get there I would expect to wait a little. Next is the menu, when I tell you I could have looked at this menu all day, there were so many amazing options I seriously had a hard time choosing! I ended up deciding on the corned beef skillet and pancakes, the pancakes were hands down the best pancakes I've ever had... in my life lol. I will say the corned beef wasn't super well seasoned, but I feel like that dish wasn't for me. Now my husbands chilaquiles has AMAZING, like the best breakfast ive had in a very long time, and the mimosa flight? Wooo were they strong lol so many fun options to choose from! I can't wait to go back and try something new! But this is 100% a MUST try for visitors and locals both! read more

I was looking for a place to have breakfast with my family while we stayed in the area overnight a couple of weekends ago and Maple & Yolk popped up with rave reviews. Then, I discovered that they were part of the same restaurant group as one of my hometown favorites, Mornings Breakfast and Brunch, so we had to give them a try. As we pulled into the parking lot between 8 and 9am on that Sunday morning, the place appeared to be jam- packed! I hopped on the website to see if there was a waitlist that I could add us to, but it said that there was no wait for a group of 4. We did notice, however, that larger groups did have to wait. We were immediately sat in a booth in the furthest corner of what I believe was their main dining room. I noticed another dining area off to the right of the host stand that may have been for larger groups, or just overflow seating. It also appeared to be full to capacity. I really liked the sleek, minimalistic, bright and airy decor, but the massive Sunday morning crowd made the lovely, upscale diner feel and sound more like a cafeteria. I wonder if the type of noise-canceling technology used in call centers would help with that?! Our server was very bubbly (like the mimosa that I ordered), and respectful. That's very important to me, as we were dining with my in-laws. She worked her way around the table taking our orders... ladies first, starting with my MIL, followed with me, then she moved to my FIL, finally ending with my husband. I liked that! She was amazing and made sure that we were taken care of. Coffee all-around, except for me, so there was a carafe and bowl of creamers left on the table. The omelet and yogurt bowl entrees were HUGE servings. The breakfast platters containing eggs, meat, and sides were reasonably portioned. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meals...I just couldn't finish mine! Part-way through our meals, a family that had been seated a few booths down from us got up and stood nearby. The air vent over their table had condensation dripping off of it. A member of staff used a Swiffer-like apparatus to remedy the issue. Soon enough, I saw them moving about the dining area addressing other vents with the same issue. That's when I looked up. There was one directly above us as well, but luckily it never dripped. If we're ever in the area again, we'll return, but hopefully it won't be as loud and over-stimulating. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for awhile but never have time for the wait. Today we reserved early and it was totally worth the wait time. The food is amazing. The atmosphere is amazing. The staff is incredibly friendly. Also did I say the food was out of this world. We will definitely be back. read more

This is a lively restaurant with a creative seasonal breakfast/brunch menu. We were passing through on our way home to Minnesota from New Jersey, and found the restaurant on Yelp. The restaurant was a described in that app. Unfortunately, we visited on college graduation weekend, and the restaurant was very busy and LOUD. However, the 30 minute wait we were told to expect was actually less than 15 minutes, and we were glad we waited. read more

We went here for galentines lunch and it did NOT disappoint! We were able to get so much food for a really good price! I even had left overs for a few days which is so helpful since my fridge is always empty. There were cute valentines pillows as decoration which made it so fitting! Everything I ate was so good, I especially loved the chicken sausage. The shareable cinnamon roll is humongous so just warning you on that. Def 10/10 recommend! read more

I wish I had taken photos, but we were so hungry that everything was immediately demolished lol. You should arrive with a large appetite since the portions are certainly generous. Place was busy so it's a popular spot for sure. I ordered a super tasty yogurt bowl that had all of the things on it, my brother in law ordered a giant omelet with a side of mixed greens (saved half for dinner) and my husband had some combination of eggs, sausage and toast. Everything was very tasty, our server was efficient and friendly, and many items on the menu sounded appealing (it was difficult to decide what to order!) This was one of our top spots during our recent visit and we definitely will return next time we are in town. read more

That food was not fresh. Not hot. If you judged by the wait you would suspect it's the best breakfast in the Midwest. It's not. read more

I went in for lunch with high hopes based on previous Yelp reviews. My M&Y experience exceeded all expectations. The staff was very attentive and courteous and the food came out faster than expected even though the restaurant was busy. As for the food, I had the Classic Omelet with fresh fruit and pancakes. The side of pancakes was much bigger than I was expecting and was accompanied by warm syrup and whipped, non-packaged butter that easily spread on both pancakes (I hate prepackaged butter pats that only rip up whatever you try to spread them on). They were very flavorful and could have been their own meal. The omelet was also large, piping hot, and filled with cheese. It was also very flavorful, but was taken to another level when paired with M&Y's Hot Sauce (chipotle based). I would highly recommend this restaurant and plan on going back to try other dishes very soon. read more

Food was delicious and service was very good. Waitress, Angela P, was excellent. Pet peeve was the coffee cup was oddly shaped and made sipping the hot beverage difficult. Otherwise 5/5! Definitely would recommend. read more

Three of us had breakfast. This place has been open for six months, same ownership but completely remodeled with brand new updated vibe and menu. The food was reasonably priced. Plenty of parking. Quick and friendly service. The chilaqiles were authentic and a sensory delight, the tortilla chips soaking up the tasty mild green salsa. We upgraded our pancakes that came with the omelette for $4 to get the one with berries heaped on top. Yum! The hash browns were crunchy, not oily, well-executed. read more

It was busy (Saturday afternoon) but we were seated much faster than anticipated and our waitress was so nice we got the turkey pesto panini and veggie omelette, both were delicious but the real star of the show is their HOT SAUCE. We even bought a bottle to take home lol 10/10 experience, can't wait to go again! read more

First time. Sorry no pics. Friday latte morning brunch. The parking lot was packed but our wait was short. Very nice hostess seated my companion and me and our waitress was very quick to table for drink orders. She had the Flora Skillet veggie dish and I opted for ala carte 1 biscuit and gravy. Our food came quickly which to me says the kitchen is running smoothly and efficiently even with a packed house. Our waitress was attentive but not pushy. Overall I will definitely go back as the pancakes looked so good I want to try them. My only negative was the acoustics. It was very noisy and hard to have a conversation. Prices are reasonable and definitely a good spot for a bite to eat. read more

Coming on dad's weekend was not the move so there was a pretty long wait, but the food came out so fast. The burrito had a variety of fillings and i loved all the sauces to eat with.

Maple & Yolk - breakfast burrito and eggs sandwich - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Urbana, Illinois

We were visiting the Champaign/Urbana area and received the recommendation to Maple & York. Which is a new and upcoming Breakfast/Brunch spot. The interior was beautifully done and nicely decorated. Spotless. We were a party of 4 and were seated right away. The staff was friendly and attentive. All 4 of us received our drink order (coffee and water) and food fairly quick after we placed the order. My husband loves corned beef, but was a bit disappointed the way it was prepared. It is listed as homemade, but instead of shredded corned beef, he received big chunks of corned beef with fried potatoes and some veggies. Myself, I had the smoked salmon benedict. The sauce had a bit too much lemon for my taste. However, the avocado on the English muffin was a nice addition. read more

I went here with my family for Mother's Day. I ordered the Veggie Lovers Omelette because all omelette are served with hash browns, fruit or mixed greens, and toast or pancakes which was a PLUS for me. All other entrees were a la carte. I loved that you can upgrade pancakes to specialty pancakes for +$4 so I got the Very Berry which was soooo good and not too much sweetness ! The prices are sorta on the mid- pricey range ( $15), but the proportions were worth the price. I had plenty of leftovers! For side meats, I appreciate the options for non pork options like the Turkey bacon and chicken sausage. Service was great, with everyone working together to order our food, bring it to our table, and cleaning. Our food came out fast even though it was a busy time! Only downfall was the wait which was about an hour but it was a holiday so I plan to come another time and not enough seating for wait time so we had to wait in our car. I even loved the complimentary rose for mothers at the end of our meal, as I have never seen a restaurant do this. The place was clean, good music, and great vibes! The food was very tasty and fulfilling. I will definitely come back! read more

Food was delicious, but it was very loud. Very crowded, I highly recommend to join the online waitlist otherwise you'll wait for over an hour for a table. I most likely won't return because it's very loud. read more

LOVE this place! By far best breakfast in the C-U area. Great place to bring family but today I decided to treat myself to a skillet. Mary was my server and she was spot on! Everything came out quickly and was delicious. One of my poached eggs was a little overcooked but I love the potatoes (more like breakfast potatoes than hashbrowns) and toppings were freshman and plentiful. It's always packed, especially on weekends. Would recommend you join the waitlist a few hours in advance if you have a large party on a Saturday or Sunday. We have been needing a good, modern breakfast place and Maple and Yolk delivers on every level! 10/10 RECOMMEND! read more

We stopped in this morning after seeing this place on a local community group on Facebook. Parking was tricky but we eventually found a spot and headed in where we were immediately accommodated with a table. Every staff member that we came into contact with was friendly and helpful.

We had a great experience and will definitely return. read more

We heard about Maple & Yolk from my cousin. I also saw nice reviews on Yelp, so we wanted to try it. We're in town for a wedding & we're staying (at a hotel) across the street from the restaurant. Glad we checked it out! We booked our reservation on the restaurant website as we left our hotel. As soon as we parked, we received a text that our table was ready! Walked into the restaurant & got seated right away. We were greeted by our great server, Evan! He was so friendly & provided awesome service. I ordered the veggie omelette with hash browns. It also comes with toast or pancakes. I ordered the pancakes. Hubby ordered 2 eggs over easy & and order of toast. We both ask ordered coffee. The coffee was good! I forgot to ask what kind of coffee they serve tho. Evan & other servers kept coming back to see if we wanted more coffee throughout our meal! It was nice to always have "hot" coffee. I read on Yelp that there were flies in the restaurant, but it wasn't a problem at all. I didn't t see any flies! The restaurant did seem a bit loud, but it's because it's pretty crowded, but it also wasn't a problem. The food was delicious & a lot for one person! Glad we checked it out! You should too! Can't wait to return! read more
