Brunch Restaurants near Palo Alto, CA

“Sweet Maple, a chain brunch restaurant, is not only available in Palo Alto but also in Cupertino and San Francisco. Every weekend, there are long lines of people waiting.

For a period of time, I often went to Sweet Maple in PA for brunch. I tried many dishes but couldn't figure out what made it so special. My personal experience was that it was functional, and perhaps a workermanlike approach is what customers need!

Sometimes success doesn't require your plating to be as exquisite as Michelin-starred restaurants, because your competitors are IHOP and Denny's.

Functional, consistently functional, with a slightly better environment and appearance, can make you stand out.“

“1st time there but I liked it. wouldbdefinelty go back“

“Food was amazing and I’m particular about my breakfast. Country fried steak and eggs with biscuits and gravy. Hash browns and side of toast (extra). Wife had pancakes. Want pleasantly surprised at how fresh the food was. Waiters was a delight. Atmosphere was nice. Temp was a LITTLE chilly inside.“

“Some of you guys are too picky. Ate here regularly over living in the bay 20+ years and never had a bad experience with the food or the service. I highly recommend ANY coffee cake they have on the menu, even the plain one, but they are large! They are fluffy enough to finish on your own, but sharing with family may be a better option. Lunch options are also consistently very good.“

“I was driving through the area and hungry so I found this gem for a croissant waffle and their millionaire's bacon. I'll be back!!!! If you love bacon you have to try the sampler platter ($25). My fave might be the Citron bacon, then the rosemary bacon. The croissant waffle [$8] was incredible. I ordered to go and it was quick even with a huge line for dine in. They apparently don't have a live phone. When I called I just got a message saying they weren't taking orders but they do if you just show up. I'm not in this area too often unfortunately but whenever I am ill be heading back to Sweet Maple!!!

Update 12-24. Second visit. Their fried chicken is thigh meat. Keep that in mind. It was crunchy but I don't generally eat dark meat. I tried their candied bacon this time and it was good too. Sweet at first but there is a kick at the end.“

“I didn’t know they open for breakfast. I had sunnyside up eggs, fresh salad and Croissant. And I ordered DoorDash for dinner the other day. My favorite is coconut soup with a tofu. I went there with my sister again today. The owner was very friendly. I love her always smiling. The curry potato puff was so yummy. I will definitely go back to try some other stuff.“

“kids love to eat crepes and there are delicious there“

“very great service, one of the best I had, will repeat“

“Pretty drinks and yummy food“

“The Sunday brunch is always a delight at Cafe Florian. It's the next in the Bay Area. The servings are always fresh and the roast beef and dungeness crab was awesome. You can always expect outstanding service and a pleasant atmosphere. We have been coming here for the last ten years and it's always consistently excellent! The caters are attentive and the kitchen does a great job.“
