Ok...I took a star away because of these times....not on service not cleanliness not even food. Its a bit expensive Yes it was good but damn...the prices. The coconut latte i would pass not enough coconut flavor. The Matcha martini is not my thing but my daughter said it was good. The french toast was bomb!!! Gran Marnier soaked was so delicious. The service was awesome the place beautiful. Again unfortunately the prices was the only thing. I do recommend it

No reservations. 20-25 min wait on Sunday.

Busy breakfast spot known for their brown-sugar-glazed "millionaire's bacon." located near Japantown in San Francisco. Street parking only and no reservation accepted. We came here on a Sunday morning and of course the line is wrapped around the building. It's not as bad as it looks and moved quicker than I expected. It was 4 of us and we wanted to sit inside so that might have added some extra wait time. Once we are seated, I feel like I got wrapped in a tornado! Waiter is very attentive, food comes out fast, and empty plates are cleared right away. If you're looking for a lazy slow Sunday morning, this is NOT the place. Of course, we had to order the "Millionaire's Bacon Sample Platter" to share. It comes with 4 pieces (Original, Citron, Cinnamon and Rosemary). I mean it's thick bacon - they are all delicious. The Citron stood out to me. I like that hint of orange and sea salt goodness. This is a must try! I couldn't help it and got the "Big Hip" - HAHAHA. It's their famous deep-fried French toast. OMG, it's too good and it went straight to my hips. It's crunchy outside and fluffy inside. The service is good and definitely quick. I do feel a bit rush and I don't want to be that person/group to hold up the table. Keep that in mind if you are looking for a slower pace dining experience.

Sweet Maple has been recommended to me a few times, so we finally decided to give it a try. My first impression was a little confusing. When we arrived, there wasn't anyone waiting in the designated queue area, so we walked in and checked in with the host. He then asked us to go back outside and get behind a group that had arrived after us. Although I was slightly frustrated the experience turned around. Our server was friendly, attentive, and had some great recommendations that helped us navigate the menu. We started with the Millionaire's Bacon sampler, which let us try all four versions: Citron (orange and sea salt), Original, Cinnamon (chipotle and sweet cinnamon), and Rosemary (rosemary and pepper). The bacon is thick-cut, sweet, smoky, and packed with flavor. While they were all good, the Cinnamon was my favorite. I literally couldn't stop eating any of the flavors! We shared The Francis Soufflegg Skillet, loaded with chicken mango sausage, bacon, and scallions, and served with toast and tri-colored potatoes. The eggs were light and fluffy, and the combination of the sweet-savory chicken mango sausage with the smoky bacon worked really well. The tri colored potatoes were light, crispy, perfectly seasoned, and some of the better breakfast potatoes I've had in a while. We shared a side of the fried French toast. It was good, but a little on the dry side. After seeing the regular French toast come out to other tables, we'd probably order that instead. Fun spot with great food. We will be back especially when friends and family are in town.

Don't let the line discourage you. I only waited about 20ish minutes to get a table on a Saturday even though the line looked pretty long; they have plenty of seating, inside and outdoor. The best part of this place for me is the atmosphere and their nice menu selection. I think the food is good, but not anything superior to other popular brunch spots. It's a good place for people to gather and grab a bite to eat. :)

Ribeye omurice
Wil L.

Tried the ribeye omurice at Kitchen Story and it's definitely one of the more unique brunch dishes I've had. The omurice itself was super soft and creamy, with that perfectly runny egg on top that makes the dish. The ribeye added a nice savory touch and was fairly tender, though a few bites were a little chewier than expected. Flavor-wise, it leans on the richer side, so it can get a bit heavy toward the end, but overall still really satisfying. Portion size is solid--definitely something you could share if you're not super hungry. Service was friendly and the place has a lively brunch vibe, though it can get busy and a little loud.

Busier than usual because of the World Cup events but still got in in a timely manner. Sweet maple is consistent with their food and service. It is pricey but the portions are large in comparison to other places in SF

Mocha
Katie L.

The florentine eggs benedict was the best I've ever had, and that's coming from an eggs benny enthusiast!!!! Same with the mocha, which is also my go-to latte!!! My friend had me try some of his Millionaire's bacon and it was sooo good! We bought some to-go to give our other friend, and even a day later, he really liked it too! I would recommend the candy bacon just because my friend said it's crispier, but if you prefer slightly softer on your teeth, get the Millionaire's bacon :) Service was very pleasant! Our waitress recommended the mocha latte, it was a lovely choice! I had asked between that or the matcha (which my friend ended up getting), and the barista brought out two matcha lattes. We weren't sure if we misheard her rec, so we didn't say anything, plus the matcha was my other choice anyways, but our waitress noticed and brought over a mocha latte. She gave us the other matcha latte for free, saying the barista made a mistake (though we hadn't minded) There was also no wait at peak breakfast/brunch, but that could be because we came on a Thursday. It was still very busy though

One of my favorite brunch spots in the city because of the variety of options you always have on the menu, and I love seeing what specialty items they'll have each time I go! The ube latte tasted so yummy, and of course the pancakes were just so light and fluffy. We came around 1pm on a Friday and were seated right away. Service was very quick from there. I've come for bottomless before too and can highly recommend! The Saturday energy on their outdoor patio is so nice, and they have a variety of fun mimosa flavors to choose from.

Turkey Paninis
Perla G.

Not gonna lie this place was a little overhyped in my opinion. The place is VERY cute so the vibes are there! But the food was simply average and overpriced. Service was also nice, but can't say I was impressed by anything. Good spot to take multiple people. We walked in as a party of 6 and were sat right away.

Last day in SF well spent. We got to Sweet Maple for Sunday brunch around 10:30 and were seated within 15-20 minutes. So if you want to beat the rush we saw as we left, earlier is better. The food here is an absolutely amazing traditional breakfast/Asian food fusion you would never expect. We tried a number of dishes and everyone LOVED their dishes. The ube martini is a must try. My only note, is that this is a fairly large and busy restroom serving copious amounts of mimosas with only two toilets... The lines can get quite long and we had a table right near the bathroom so we consistently had people kind of just awkwardly standing near us.

This was a very nice breakfast spot! Not a long wait for a Saturday (though we did sit outside) and the service was quick. Food was pretty good. I would say an average breakfast experience. It was a nice vibe and the restaurant was clean.

This morning I visited Sweet Maple for brunch with high expectations. I ordered the New York steak medium rare, but unfortunately it was served medium. The presentation was good, but when it comes to steak, temperature is everything, and I specifically did not order medium. When the server came to remove the plate, my dog barked unexpectedly, which startled him and caused coffee to spill onto the table. It was an awkward moment, but the staff handled it professionally and remained attentive throughout. The overall service was good and friendly, and the waiting time was pretty standard for a brunch spot. The décor is simple and basic, nothing particularly memorable, but comfortable enough. I also ordered a Nutella crepe, and here's where I was truly disappointed. It wasn't Nutella.. it tasted like regular chocolate spread. And as someone who considers herself a Nutella connoisseur, I can tell the difference immediately. If you advertise Nutella, it should be Nutella. Overall, it was a decent experience with some details that could definitely be improved. I would give it another chance, hoping next time the steak temperature and the "Nutella" live up to expectations.

Millionaire's bacon
Mei-ying W.

I have loved Sweet Maple for decades for its amazing and friendly staff, the unmatched FOOD, and the comforting vibe of the space! My husband and I went for Mother's Day and had some of our favorites: The South of the Border chorizo scramble, a Swedish pancake, and Millionaire's bacon! We also tried the Oscar benedict for the first time - the Dungeness crab, asparagus, spinach with wasabi hollandaise did not disappoint! 5 stars all around!!!

This place was included on a list of Sunday brunch recommendations. I had seen other fellow Elite Yelpers recommending it, so I wanted to try it. We had the French toast sticks, very good, as well as the classic breakfast dish, my partner had the breakfast burrito. Both dishes were decent, but we were there for the company mostly. The restaurant was quaint and cute, more compact, but had a secondary overflow area in a separate part of the restaurant. There were restrooms on both side, and Causewells served as a chill morning for us with our friends. The location had a cute bar set up for evening link ups, and the service was very friendly. The vibe is more of what you go for the food is decent but won't necessarily blow you away. Try them out and see for yourself. For tourists, or visitors of the city, the location is in the Marina District, so Golden Gate Bridge is near if you'd like to sightsee. This location is also very close to the Presidio theater.

We also got the olive oil cake which came with a dollop of what I think is whipped cream cheese. It had a strong olive oil flavor, extremely moist and delicious. We were seated at the bar and although it was a little tight, it was nice to be able to look around the decorated area behind the bar. Tons of vinyls and quirky decor.

Then there are smash burgers which has been the craze for a few years already. Then there are burgers known for their sauce like the animal style sauce at In-N-Out . Burgers in SF can get cheesy . Everybody has any reason to say it's a better burger whether it's for the purple onions, pickles , or buns. There is a place which serves the Cali Burger. On a West Portal stroll there is a burger place which sells the Cali Burger. The Cali Burger means fresher ingredients usually locally sourced in California. Calibur is the place to get an organic grass fed burger. I got the double cheese burger with Calibur sauce. It was tasty and it had great flavor along with a soft bun. The fresh grass fed cheese burger pairs well to eat with cheese fries in SF. The fries were crispy and saucy and got a bit messy. Calibur also sells chili cheese dogs along with different flavors of shake including Neapolitan. Overall a good place to fresh grass fed cheese burger on a bun. You can get organic beef that's grass "fed"with Calibur sauce "spread" and a soft fresh bun "bread"although they don't have onion rings or purple onions you can get raw with yellow onions or the onions that are "red" The organic ingredients locally grown under the California "sun" get a grass fed cheeseburger medium or well "done" take a shot with Calibur and I ain't talking about a weapon like a "gun" but get something loaded with beef and cheese on a "bun"

The woman at the counter was really friendly. I used to work retail and dealing with customers, even at the start of the shift, can wear you down pretty quick.

It came with delicious sweet corn, cabbage slaw, chipotle mayo, and a cilantro-lime crema. It's basically the flavors of elote with fried chicken and it yummy! The breading on the chicken was even and crisp. And I enjoyed the spicy-sweet flavor of the honey, which complemented the chipotle mayo. I also enjoyed the crunch from the cabbage and the softness of the flour tortilla. I paired with it the fried Brussels sprouts to get another veggie into my meal. Though I do love very charred sprouts, there was a hint of bitterness. I may have needed more lime to cut that. The jalapeño mayo was good. But I think tossing it in pork fat is the way to go with Brussels sprouts to really pump up the flavor. I'm not sure what oil they fry it in. I think I'll stick to their sweet potato fries, which never disappoints. It's always busy there, but it's never too difficult to find a place to sit. It's shared seating, with long tables inside and large tables outside. But my friend and I took it to go so we can have dinner with the show. And the timing was perfect - we didn't wait too long to get our order and we arrived about 20mins before the band started. The quality of Gott's has been consistent over the years across their locations. So it's a tried and true place to get a delicious meal.
