Everything tasted like it was made from scratch. I enjoyed the breakfast burrito the most. The açai bowl is actually Greek yogurt and not a traditional açaí ice base - so be mindful if you have your eye on that. The Matcha latte was kind of a miss, it was clumpy and not mixed well.

My partner and I went to Sweet Maple on the recommendation of my foodie friend's ex. While I never…read moremet the man, he has incredible taste, because Sweet Maple has the best breakfast food I've ever had in the bay area. Well worth the trip. The two of us were dubious about the Millionaire's Bacon, because it was hyped up to the point where it seemed unlikely that it could live up to the reputation. We were wrong. We ordered the Millionaire's Bacon sampler platter, which is four strips of long, thick pieces of bacon, baked with brown sugar and spices. There is the original, which is brown sugar, cayenne, red, and black pepper, which was sweet, salty, and the perfect amount of spicy. The other slices were orange, cinnamon, and rosemary. My partner enjoyed the orange best, whereas I loved the cinnamon, but we both thought the rosemary was underwhelming. The bacon itself was very thick and meaty with a minimal amount of fat, and was just clearly high quality pork. Truly worth the hype. We also got the bottomless mimosas, which not only had multiple choices of juice (we got raspberry lemonade) but were surprisingly heavy on the champagne. The waiter kept them coming without us needing to ask, to the point where I had to tell him I was done because I was a little too tipsy for breakfast. My partner got the chicken croffle, and was very impressed. I tried the fried chicken (though not the croffle) and it was very well spiced, very crunchy, and well cooked--juicy and tender. I got the big hip, which is deep fried "french toast". I wouldn't call it french toast myself, but it was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and came with fresh fruit, butter, and syrup. There wasn't enough syrup for the entire dish, but I asked our waiter for more and he came back with it in less than a minute. On top of the food being as close to perfect as you can get, the service was great. Several different waiters checked in on us throughout the meal, making sure we were enjoying the food and that we didn't need anything else. The vibes of the restaurant are really enjoyable too. The décor is lovely, the sound levels are very reasonable, and everything was spotless during our visit. Overall, I can't recommend Sweet Maple enough, and I'm kind of glad it's not closer to my house because I would go bankrupt with the amount of Millionaire's Bacon I'd buy on a weekly basis.

We added ourselves to the Yelp waitlist from outside and were called up within minutes, even on a…read morebusy Saturday late morning. Great start! The host received us warmly, but things slipped from there. Our table was missing cutlery and we had to flag our server down to get it sorted. We asked for a minute to look over the menu since it was our first visit. He did not come back for five minutes, and only because we flagged him down again. When we ordered, he took our request without making eye contact, attention clearly elsewhere in the restaurant. One dish came out. The second did not. Our server never circled back to check on us, and seemingly did not notice that one of us had no food in front of her. After nearly ten minutes, we flagged him down again. He called over from across the restaurant, not walking to us, with a "what?" We had to gesture that my guest still had no food. He came over briefly, confirmed our order, said it was coming soon, and left. No apology. No acknowledgment of the wait. No offer to make it right while one plate sat getting cold. The food eventually came, again with no apology. It was good. But by then, honestly, the experience had overshadowed it. We asked for a manager. Cathy came over, listened, and immediately apologized. She agreed the service fell short, gave us a break on the bill, and handled the situation with real grace. She is the reason this review has any stars at all! For reference, our server's name on the receipt read Mui F. I hope Cathy's conversation with him makes a difference, because Sweet Maple clearly has the food to back up its reputation. The service just needs to match it!

I finally had some free time this afternoon. I picked up the kouign amann, Paris Brest and the lemon tart from Barbara that were set aside for me. I couldn't wait to sink my teeth in the kouign amann and its laminated buttery layers with a hint of sweetness was perfect! You've made my day! It was airy and light. I'm waiting to share the other sweet treats with my parents later this evening. Thank you for surprising me with the lemon choice. Barbara - it was really wonderful to meet you! Service with a smile and happy to chat for a bit about Brazil! Muito obrigada! Daniel - you've been simply amazing! I can't thank you enough for being so gracious and kind. I actually like this store location over the Palo Alto store. Downtown Menlo Park is so very lucky to have you! I'll definitely come back here next time!

I want to specifically praise Ricardo for his excellent customer service during my visit yesterday…read more While I wasn't entirely satisfied with the food quality (my salad was extremely salty and not as fresh as I'd hoped), Ricardo handled my concern with professionalism and care. When I mentioned the issues with my salad, Ricardo readily accepted it and offered to give me credit for it. He explained that the gift card machines weren't working at the time, but he personally committed to calling me as soon as they were available so I could receive my credit. I appreciated that he accepted the salad back even though I sensed he wasn't completely happy with my request -- he still treated me respectfully and genuinely tried to make things right. This is the kind of customer service that keeps me coming back. Ricardo represents what makes Mademoiselle Colette special, and I hope management recognizes his dedication to handling difficult situations with grace. Thank you, Ricardo, for going above and beyond!

We had a large group, and I really appreciated that they accommodated us inside since it was a bit chilly that day. They seated us in the front area, which we loved. Everything we ordered from the appetizers, to the main dishes was packed with flavor. Nothing missed the mark. Truly one of the best brunch experiences in town! I had the chilaquiles along with a champagne drink that came with different juice options and fresh fruit such an adorable and fun presentation. My family couldn't stop raving about how delicious everything was, including the dessert. We'll definitely be back for future family gatherings and next time, we're excited to try the outdoor patio seating!

There was no decor, not even any music playing. It was a cold, rainy day which made the place even a bit more bleak. But! The food was great. When plans to go for breakfast at breakfast time fell through, we went at lunchtime still intending to have breakfast. And that seemed to be what most of the other diners were doing. I started with black coffee and ordered the Pancake Combo with scrambled eggs, sausage and added a side of hash browns. We must have been last in the order lineup. When it seemed time for plates to be coming to our table, they just kept going somewhere else. But when our plates did arrive, everything was very good. The pancakes were huge and fluffy, definitely the highlight. The hash browns could have used a little more cooking. The potatoes weren't raw, just lacked a bit in the crispy top.

However, we parked in the lot and were able to get a seat right away. Despite having a stroller, nobody asked if we needed a booster seat/high chair, so I went to go get one myself... We ended up ordering two of the Joanie's Breakfast Medleys, mine with french toast and chicken apple sausage, and my wife's with pancakes and bacon. Although it was a decently sized plate, I guess I expected a bit more for over $25...the french toast was like two halves of one slice, but the chicken apple sausage and potatoes were good. Coffee was nice as well, and they kept coming by to refill, which was nice and needed. However disaster struck when one of the waiters knocked off a tray from a ledge right by our table. The tray crashed onto our table and spilled water, hot coffee, and creamer all over me, and our under two year old who started crying. I rushed over to check for burns from the coffee, but luckily it was okay. After the clean-up I was waiting to see if anyone might come by to ask if anything was needed, let me know if I could get more food since I wasn't entirely finished, or at least apologize and comp our meal. Unfortunately I didn't get any replacement food, and they brought the bill and mentioned that we didn't have to pay for coffee...$68 pre-tip was a little upsetting after our experience, even though I know accidents can happen... Of course, later on I smelled spoilt because of the creamer/milk that was still on my clothes after walking around the Farmer's Market...lovely...
