    Millionaire melt was 2 meals lol
    Cindy N.

    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

    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

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    Millionaire's bacon

    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 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.

    A classic sf brunch experience. I heard about this place around 2015(?) ishhh because of their bacon and have been a few times. But.... I wanted to post these aesthetic pictures and food since I don't think I ever did before. There's always a line out the door but the wait was relatively short for a weekend. There were so many options but I chose what my eyes saw and everyone had this dish. It was going to be a long day so why not start it with a drink. Their drinks were amazing and the food was devoured. The place was full but it was still easy to yap and people watch. Lowkey though, the prices of brunch has gotten so expensive but it's relatively in the ballpark in comparison. That's just a small vent.

    Very bustling and busy brunch spot! There is indoor and outdoor seating available. Their bottomless mimosas are available before 2:00pm, which means as long as you get seated before that time it is applicable. They have different flavors of mimosas and will bring out a small pitcher for a refill of each flavor. I got the mushroom melt sandwich. I personally got tired of eating straight mushroom so I did not end of finishing it, and wish I picked a different sandwich. However, the bread is very good and the salad on the side has a nice dressing.

    Eggs Benedict
    Susan Z.

    Fresh ingredients, great vibes, delicious brunch! Felt like the whole dish was farm to fork. Thoroughly enjoyed the eggs benedict which was soft to perfection with amazing hollandaise sauce!

    Ingrid M.

    Food was good and so was the service. What I didn't appreciate about this establishment is calling Ube, "Japanese Ube". Matcha is from Japan. Ube is from the Philippines. We would never say Filipino Matcha.

The 2nd visit the service was impeccable, everything went exactly as we had hoped. We will be back. We can recommend the scallops and the Salmon, the chicken was very tasty. Also, for the food, I recommend the dips and the fresh pitas, so good. We'll be back just for that. Reminds me of the old Berkeley restaurant years ago, Holy Land (IYKYK). Mmmm. Thanks!

The sandwich comes with a small dressed salad and three tomato halves. It was nice. The potatoes served with the sandwich were roasted but served cold and dry. Like they were left over from the night before. Randy enjoyed his mocha. We shared a very dry, flavorless except for the two small bits of jam in them, "cheese" danish. Definitely skip this $7 item that you could get at a circle k for $1.50 and it would taste fresher. You order when you walk in and someone delivers your order and then you're left to fend for yourself. We were able to locate some ketchup for the potatoes on our own. Nobody ever checked on us. This is the second place on this visit that's charging an extra 5% fee so that their employees can have a living wage and health insurance, which absolutely, every employee should have. With the prices they charge, they should already be able to do that, though. I read an article about this fee with many different names and I would rather pay a bit higher of a price and know the employees were taken care of than be surprised by this fee later. Two sandwich breakfasts, a mocha and a danish on top of tax and their healthy sf fee was $63. Steep for the quality we got. Won't be back.

For those of us who only eat outdoors, there are a few tables outside the bar that are pretty comfortable although it can get windy. From the minute we arrived, we were greeted with friendliness, all of the menus we might need, and an explanation of drinks, beer and wine. We chose to go all out and got a small pizza, their delicious onion dip, meatballs - more on that later - and buffalo wings. I was a bit disappointed that the happy hour wine was a Chardonnay and not the Ferentino that they let me taste, but the replacement house May logger was delicious. My husband had a steam beer, which was also very good. Throughout the service was impeccable, and we actually met the manager, Jon, who had a long conversation with us about the history of the bar and how they were trying to be a neighborhood comfortable place which they certainly have succeeded at. Now for the food - the meatballs were the best I have ever had in San Francisco and I am Italian from New York so that's saying something. We actually let Jon know who told the chef and it turns out the chef is from New Jersey so that makes a lot of sense. The onion dip is something like I've never had before. It's a crème fraîche with scallions I think? And maybe a bit of garlic and housemaid chips. We ate every single bite and actually dipped our pizza crust in the rest of the dip. The margarita pizza was also very good and as I finished it off for lunch today, I can tell you it's just as good the next day. The buffalo wings were what I would call actual buffalo style - I could taste the butter, hot sauce and garlic powder like back in the day on the East Coast. The chicken itself was good, not fatty, and the sauce was just like I want it. They offered ranch and blue cheese dip, which was great. We then had further conversations with almost all the staff who were so welcoming and friendly. We don't live super nearby, but I know we're going to go back to dinner, because I am dying to get their pork chop that looked really good. They also came and helped us put the stuff in boxes and explained the best way to take pizza home, which I never knew before. I can't wait to go back again

We ordered a bunch of items to share: - persian cucumbers - super crunchy, the flavor was good but felt like it could've been soaked longer so the flavor seeps more into the cucmber - roasted cauliflower - the sauce was delicious, the flavor was very unique, slightly on the sweeter side - sausage pizza (added mushrooms) - the mushrooms were a game changer, made the pizza taste even better - orchhiette pasta - favorite dish of the night, the pasta was al dente and the sauce they used was so flavorful with every bite, and the sausage in this was so good - not too salty or anything Service was also fantastic, they kept coming over and asking us if we're doing okay throughout our whole dinner. The vibes are nice too, they have a bar area and TV screens playing sports games.
