Sweet Maple

Visited Sweet Maple today for breakfast. For myself I ordered the Hass omelette that has Avacado Bacon and Monterrey Jack Cheese with a side of Pico de Gallo(really small portion). Comes with a side of potato medeley and a scone. As well as a Mernier French toast. My girlfriend got the BLTA sandwhich W/Fries and the Korean chicken wings.The Hass omelette was delicious soft and crunchy with the bacon bites. The potato wedges were crunchy with a soft interior. Well seasoned a must have. The mernier French toast was a delicacy. Toasty outside with a soft inside that melts with every bite. To drink I had a standard coffee that was too strong for my liking. Above all service was friendly and approachable. I think the price was a little high. But we all deserve to splurge a little. The entire meal was a little over 100 smackeroos. Highly recommended. Bring an empty stomach leave with a happy full stomach. Will definitely revisit again.

Booked this spot on a whim as they looked really tasty from pictures and accepted reservations through Yelp and wasn't disappointed!Really loved the location (a block from the beach and within walking distance to the pier).The space was so nice and so bright, but super super busy. They take walk ins but I recommend getting a ressie as they sat us immediately.It's a delicious Asian Fusion brunch spot so not your typical brunch, but still having a spin on brunch classics.They offer bottomless mimosas, but your entire table needs to get it. I opted for the Millionaires Mary because it comes with their famous bacon, which was super delicious and thick cut.We also got the Who wants to be a millionaire shots, which comes with 2 shots per order and some of the delicious bacon again.My buddy got a Spicy Micheladas which came with the crispy rice paper snack on top.Food wise, everything was a hit, from the Sizzling Stonepot to the Jam Juicy Lucy Burger, but the standout for me was the Tornado Galbi Omurice. A must get as it was super hearty, delicious, and sharable, but the same could be said for all the dishes we got.The Marniers French Toast and Crispy Brussels sprouts were also a hit. My one critique of the Brussels would be that as opposed to full Brussels sprouts, they use the leaves, which makes it not have as much of a bite and is more crispy. It comes with mochi and bacon, which were excellent touches, but are served in a small bowl with a serving spoon, but with the volume of leaves, bacon, and mochi, everything falls out onto the table when you try to scoop. It was still a good dish, but should be plated differently to not make a mess.Everything else was great, from the service, to the location, to the food. 10/10 will come again.

Came without a reservation for Sunday Brunch and there wasn't too much of a wait for walk ins. The atmosphere was nice but the food was lacking. Maybe we just had high expectations from the other reviews or we ordered the wrong things. We got the millionaires bacon, sesame einspanner, tornado omurice and the blueberry French toast. The sesame einspanner was weird as the sesame foam didn't completely melt into the coffee after mixing and it just coagulated into chunks that floated on the surface. The omurice was ok, with the sauce tasting more like bbq than demiglace. The French toast was honestly kinda gross, it was akin to deep fried funnel cake you'd get at the fairgrounds, but topped with cream cheese. Very very heavy and smells greasy. The best thing we ordered was probably the bacon.

I found this place on Yelp because I was heading to the airport to drop off my niece and we wanted to grab something to eat before I dropped her off. This place popped up and I had never heard of it nor have I ever been in this area to dine and it looked really great from the reviews. We definitely were very impressed by the food and the presentation and the service of this place. I would've given them five stars but they messed up on my niece's entrée and added cheese to her omelette and we didn't have time to wait so thankfully she ate it. They also forgot to tell me they validate so some time was wasted walking back and forth since we had to head to the LAX on a rainy day. This place is secretly on the bottom of the ground floor of residential condos and there is parking downstairs conveniently underground. Make sure you validate before you leave. I didn't know they validated it and had to return back to the restaurant to do so I definitely will go back and I recommend trying out the delicious food. You won't be disappointed!Everyone was ordering the famous French toast so I will have to try that one next time. I ordered the fried chicken on the waffles which was really a specially made croissant with Real maple syrup. Such beautiful and delicious order!

First time here and I had a great experience. Parking sucks, but it's downtown SM, so expected. They were quite busy on a Sunday at noon. When arrived the hostess greeted my party promptly and led us right to our table. Service was great, very attentive. I did notice I feel like people dressed a little more hip/nicer than maybe your regular local brunch place. They do a very loud birthday celebration if you want to bring a friend to the embarrass. The hojicha latte was delicious and the espresso martini was the BEST I've ever had. Keep in mind I don't usually like espresso martinis. Theirs was sweet and lots of foam. It wasn't as alcohol forward as others which is probably why I liked it. Food time;Oscar Benedict was delicious. Perfectly poached eggs, decent amount of crab meat, and the wasabi hollandaise sauce wasn't overpowering. Potatoes were well cooked and crunchy. And the garlic in the crab also wasn't overpowering if the delicate sweet crab flavor. I will definitely order this again. Millionaires bacon not pictured. If you like pork belly/thick chewy bacon with a touch of maple syrup this is for you. I loved it. Mariner French toast was delicious. One review thought it wasn't good with the bread being so thick. I thought it was pretty perfect. The balance of soft center and crisped exterior was great. It was a little one note and ultimately just a really fluffy piece of French toast. Korean Fried Chicken, we got the honey garlic flavor. These were perfect. Big, crispy, saucy and meaty. The chewy rice cakes are a nice complement to a he wings. Croffle w/raspberry and Brie was not my choice. I did like it a lot, but it is definitely a sweet savory mix. I would have preferred a different sweet dish. But the dish works. If you like brie, this is the dish for you. Tornado galbi omurice not pictured. This was good, but not mind blowing. The short rib was tender and soft. Gravy was solid. I didn't care for the rice underneath. I think it might have been kimchi fried rice cause it had a red hue. I felt like plain rice or regular fried rice would work better. I probably wouldn't order again.

Not sure how this place isn't blowing up with 5 stars! Boy have I been sleeping on Sweet Maple. Don't let the construction deter you from this incredible brunch spot. Ambiance is mid to upper level casual so you'll get away wearing something nice or something comfortable. Very clean establishment with modern furniture, fixtures, and lots of seating options. Service was excellent and attentive. Now.. the FOOD. Lots of options for brunch that are carefully crafted to infuse Asian inspired flavors and ingredients- even the drinks! I can't believe I've only now experienced the concept of Asian inspired brunch! I had the Phuket coffee (incredible) and the savory egg soufflé with a side of potatoes. It was a very generous portion that was all cooked to perfection with the right amount of seasonings and spices. Other dishes looked intriguing so I'm very excited to try those out in the future. All in all, I literally have no negative feedback to provide -- I was even able to find parking on a Sunday when visiting !

Sweet Maple is a refreshing brunch spot with innovative Asian fusion dishes that leaves you wanting to come back to try more. The decor is really nice giving the brunch/tea party vibes. The prices are higher, but the intricate dishes and flavors I think are worth it. Even with minor hiccups, this has become one of my favorite brunch spots in West LA. We started with a Millionaire's Mary which is a pre-mixed drink so when we asked for extra spicy, they weren't able to do that but gave us tobasco to add ourselves. The bloody tasted very faintly of any alcohol but the bacon was amazing. There's something delicious about eating cold meat and the fat from the bacon gave that extra savoriness to the drink. I also for the Sesame Einspanner, which had a very strong sesame flavor with the sesame oil but definitely needs to be mixed thoroughly before taking a sip. It is quite small too. Tornado Galbi Omurice $26.00 - the egg was more scrambles than silky but was still thin and tasty. The demi-glaze was delicious and the fried rice underneath was flavorful. The braised short ribs was mildly tender but nothing some sauce can't fix. Pickled onions was a nice add on to bring some sourness. Oscar Benedict $34.00 - I really loved the wasabi hollandaise here. Gave the creamy sauce a little kick. There was a decent amount of crab on top and it was overall a delicious dish. Coconut Moffle with Brie Cheese $20 - The moffle were incredible! Soft and chewy and the brie on top was an amazing compliment but I wish there was not than just a middlesliver. One of the best sweet brunch items I've ever tried.

This is the perfect brunch spot after a beautiful Santa Monica half-marathon. The ambiance is incredible, with lots of seating, and service is great and food came fast! I'll start with the drinks. I got the hot matcha latte, which was one of the best I've had--it is so creamy. The hojicha latte had such a deep, rich flavorful. Food wise, our table of 6 ordered a lot, so strap in. I had the Francis Souflegg, which had great texture and flavor, reminds me a lot of Chinese steamed eggs. The omurice and croffle were also delicious. I would definitely come here again!!

We found this place while charging my car in Santa Monica walking around. We looked at the menu, and decided to go in. Upon entering, your eyes automatically go towards the decorative lighting to the left, and the cream themed open floor plan with the bar like ambience in the middle.We were greeted by the host and sat down. We noticed that this restaurant gets beautiful lighting even with the construction of the building that is currently being done.So upon further research (of asking the employee questions),I found out that this restaurant is Korean fusion (I love Korean food!!!).I ordered the Balsamic Burger (with impossible meat) served with greens and water with lemon/lime. Just something simple for a quick lunch while charging my car.It's loved the burger! Nice and juicy!!! The greens were fresh and light!!!Definitely will be back!!!!

So good-from the drinks all the way through the meal. The service was excellent too. It was very busy but the waiter was very attentive.
