Had lunch on a busy, rainy Sunday and waited at good 1/2 hour for a party of 3. Food was delicious but on the pricey side.
Great and fast service even with restaurant packed with patrons.
Bacon sampler platter was delicious but $24 for 4 slices of bacon?

Proportions are fairly large. I would recommend sharing family style in order to taste the various options. Everything I've had there has been great so far. This visit we had the Gardena Souffle Omelet, Oscar Benedict, Original Millionaire Bacon, Dirty Ube Latte, and Bloody Mary. Good presentation and very delicious!

Millionaire Bacon Side
We tried to visit Sweet Maple Palo Alto several times before- the wait times were always way too long. Today we joined the waitlist a little before noon and got a table exactly when predicted.
They don’t have a whole lot of vegetarian options and possibly just 1 vegan option. I ordered a green papaya salad and a mango mimosa. The green salad was good- very refreshing and the ingredients were all fresh. It was a lot bigger and more filling than I expected. In the menu it was mentioned that it would be spicy- but I didn’t think it was, honestly.
The classic fried chicken was pretty dry apparently. The garlic one might have been better.
Overall food was OK.
What I did love about Sweet Maple was the prompt service, our server was very polite and helpful too.
The decor is very cute. We were lucky to be seated inside. Definitely a different vibe from the outdoor seating.

We sat outside, the weather was nice, and the location is amazing.
I got the Hemingway salmon Benedict, and my dad got the standard two egg breakfast with the fruit bowl upgrade. I must say the hollandaise with wasabi was a refreshing flavor profile, and the potatoes with fried brusselsprouts was really good. The fruit bowl is really fresh fruit, and the coffee they serve is truly strong. Highly recommended.

12.23.23 - for 11:30 late brunch.
It was busy and we got placed next to the men's bathroom (with the panel room divider)...boo. no ambiance.
This is the same owner as Kitchen Story in SF the waitress confirmed with me. The millionaire bacon is the same, of course, 5*. I got the day's special, sirloin steak and lobster for $49. Tasted good with each of its sauces but didn't seem to be worth the price, especially with such a small tail (size of a water prawn 1-2 size)...4.5* for this plate. The chicken croffle was good and large portion, 4*. Korean FC chicken tasted good, and crunchy, with the sauce, 4.5*. The breaky tacos were different, tasted quite good, 4.5*. Bloody Mary, 4*, expresso shakerato (nothing special), 3.5*. Overall, 4.5*.

Chicken Croffle
Beautiful presentation of food was the highlight of this experience! 🫶 We enjoyed our chicken croffle, regular ube latte, and scramblegg skillet. Flavors are representative of fresh and quality ingredients. The maple syrup with the chicken croffle had a uniquely slightly spicy taste. The wait for two during Sunday brunch was under 30 minutes--we were able to get a seat outside where tables are also clean. Prices are on the higher-end for brunch in the area, but pretty standard for the fusion-style food/drink selection. The parking here can be tight during peak hours, but we were able to find street parking close by. Hope to try other items when we return.

Chicken Croffle
Food: 3, Ambience: 4, Service: 5. If you're fine with average food and prioritize a fantastic atmosphere and attentive service, this is the place. We tried the Hemingway Benedict, chicken sandwich, and millionaire's bacon. The presentation was excellent, and the service was attentive. The bacon was a standout! However, the Benedict's salmon lacked freshness, and the chicken was disappointingly bland, and the food arrived somewhat cold. Personally, I don't believe the food justifies the cost or the long wait.

Super aesthetic place with amazing food that doesn't just look good, tastes epic too. I tried the autumn spice cocktail, avocado croffle, souffle Omelette and millionaire bacon. The bacon was expensive, but definitely worth it - perfectly cooked and incredibly flavorful. The croffle, which is a croissant pressed into a waffle was super unique, and really delicious too. Personally I think the souffle Omelette was not the best compared to everything else, but still really good. And of course the cocktail was light refreshing and felt just like autumn.
We went on a weekday morning, so it wasn't too crowded. On weekends it really seems impossible to get in here. The wait staff always seems a bit rushed though? So 4/5 for service.

This was our first time here. Boy, it did not disappoint. The pumpkin spice latte is good, I subbed oat milk. The cinnamon sugar on the rim was perfect. The pimped out Ramyun was so flame ( delicious). Chicken croffle was good as well, I think I enjoyed the waffle
More than the chicken. Omelettes were there best I've had in forever! I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu.
