We had such a great experience at Maple and Batter, and a big part of that was our server, Mary. I've actually been here before and always find myself coming back because of her--she's that good. Mary is incredibly friendly, attentive, and makes you feel genuinely welcome from the moment you sit down. She's also very knowledgeable about the menu, gave great recommendations, and made ordering easy. She checks in at all the right times without being overbearing, keeps everything running smoothly, and brings such a positive energy to the whole experience. It's rare to find service this consistently great, but Mary truly stands out. If you're dining here, I highly recommend asking for her--you won't be disappointed! read more

food was excellent, service was excellent. This was our first time visiting and my husband and I both had vanilla oat milk lattes - they were the perfect level of sweetness (not too sweet). We started with the candied bacon and French toast sticks. Best French toast sticks I've ever had the texture was perfect - crispy outside, soft fluffy inside. Candied bacon was definitely candied and very sweet... but still good. I had the chorizo burrito and my husband had the breakfast tacos. Great portion sizes, we were stuffed. Highly recommend and would love to come back next time we're in the area! read more

This was wait list city. The food was good, and service was fine. It would've been better if my parents weren't arguing the entire time I was trying to eat my French toast, but it's fine because the bus boy was cute and kept giving me the eyes. read more

stopped in this morning for brunch since we're in the area visiting. There was about a 10 to 15 minute wait and then we were sat at a little table near the Christmas trees. Our waitress is very kind went over the specials and offered to get us some drinks which we all got coffee. My girlfriend ordered the Benedict and that it was really good. I split the breakfast tacos in the Monte Cristo with my other friend. The portion sizes were really large. Everything is really good and had nice flavor. Highly recommend for breakfast!! read more

What a great brunch find in the cute town of Bay Harbor! Little bit of a wait, but worth it. Tip - make reservations in advance. There is indoor and covered patio seating too. My bestie and I sat inside. Our wait without reservations wasn't too bad. 20 mins! We came on a Monday so maybe not as busy, but we were with the vacation crowd so waiting wasn't an issue. I ordered the chocolate cherry cold brew with cherry foam (special) to start my morning. My bestie ordered fresh squeezed grapefruit juice and a chai. Good selection of fresh juices - orange, grapefruit, and lemonade. Loved my cold brew! Or breakfast I ordered the wild truffle mushroom omelette. No substitutions allowed so if you want to add avocado make sure you say it's a side. I thought of it as an addition versus substitution. My bestie ordered the sausage apple omelette with sausage, honey crisp apples, and smoked Gouda cheese. Delicious! Omelettes come with hash browns or fresh greens and toast. We went with hash browns and an English muffin with fresh strawberry jam. Great vibe. Definitely coming back for breakfast when I'm in the area. read more

Cute little brunch spot in Bay Harbor! We had a 45 minute wait on a Saturday around 11am, but no biggy because there's plenty to do in the area while waiting.

Great food. Good service. Definitely a winner and if back in the area would definitely come for breakfast. Only reason didn't give 5 stars- place was 3/4 full when we left but very noisy. Acoustics aren't designed for a quiet dining experience. read more

Beautiful views, interior and great service. We each ordered the veggie scramble. Great idea, but terrible idea to include the hash browns mixed in. We asked the server if they could make the hash browns more well done when we ordered the food. It came out with mushy hash browns. So, we asked the server to remake it with more well done potatoes. They came out exactly the same. So, we were very disappointed as they could not get it right. Suggestion to the chef: make the hash browns separately or place on separate plate and serve the potatoes on a separate dish. Or simply place the well done potatoes as a top layer. We would definitely come back to try more of the meatless dishes. If you try the scramble dishes, get the hash browns on the side. read more

The food and value were excellent. Burrito - huge. Hamburger - huge. Charcuterie board - very large with a wide variety of breakfast foods, I've never seen anything like this before. Avocado toast pleased both that had it. Excellent omelette. Fantastic service for a large group. I highly recommend this establishment. read more

The food was absolutely delicious. The service was slower than I had hoped and lacked a certain professionalism, but the staff did seem like they were authentically trying to make a great meal. The restaurant was clean and well decorated, but nothing to write home about. Overall, I wouldn't mind coming back. read more

The food was delicious and we had great service! Was in Petoskey for a wedding and ventured out here for breakfast.

Consider ordering the charcuterie board, it's a meal in itself. It was a busy place, but the service was great and you can't go wrong in Bay Harbor. read more

So good!! I REALLY enjoyed my breakfast today!! My favorite place was closed on Tuesdays, so we had to resort to plan B. So glad that we had a chance to try this place. I had: WILD TRUFFLE MUSHROOM Omelette $17 Wild Mushrooms, Chives, Gruyere Cheese + Truffle Oil My BF had: B.E.L.T. $16 Bacon, Egg, Shredded Lettuce, Tomato + Roasted Garlic Aioli on a Plain Bagel, Served with Hash Browns My omelette was outstanding!! I had it with the multi-grain sourdough that had a perfect texture and was toasted to my liking. I loved that our table was already equipped with butter and that I didn't have to ask for some. Our waitress suggested the raspberry Bellini, and it loved it!! Perfect blend of Prosecco and raspberries with a 3-raspberry garnish. It was served in a stemless champagne glass. So cute! My boyfriend said he really enjoyed his bagel sandwich, too. Our waitress had the perfect amount of attentiveness to us. The interior of this place is very modern, and I really enjoyed all the food windows to look out while we ate. I can imagine that one could see the water had it not been winter and covered in snow. I will definitely be back!! Thanks for giving me a fantastic start to my day!! Yum-o!! read more

This is a Top-Notch Bruch restaurant!! The food was served hot and fresh. Wait staff were friendly and attentive!! Coffee was never empty!! The orange juice was delicious!!

If I could give a higher rating than 5 stars, Maple + Batter would get them! The service was fantastic. The menu had so many unique items and traditional fare as well. We were there for breakfast. I had the breakfast soft shell tacos which was excellent. My friend had the eggs Benedict and said it was the best one he had ever had. The food was outstanding at a very reasonable price. I will be back on each time I make. read more

Food was great, service was okay, ambiance good. We were told wait would be 40 minutes, waited closer to 1 hour, food was great tho, everyone enjoy everything. A tiny bit overpriced but I guess it is because of the area Our service kind of made a big deal about splitting our check, not sure why that's a problem at this place, as we're a pretty large party and never get any issues with splitting the checks into 2. We sat outside, it was hitched no breeze, I'd recommend sitting inside. Looked like they have lots of tables inside this place was packed, and we came at around 10:30 for breakfast. read more

We ate at Maple and Batter twice while visiting the area. The food was all very good and the service was fine. I did not care for the flapjacks as much as I hoped that I would. They were a little mushy in the middle. The table next to us had the candied bacon the first time we were there and it looked more well done like I would like so we ordered it the second time and it was rather flimsy and undercooked in my opinion. read more

Maple + Batter - Bagel and Lox Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Bay Harbor, Michigan

Maple + Batter is a new(er) addition to the Northern MI dining scene. At least, it was new to me on my recent visit! It was recommended to me by a local and the Yelp reviews checked out, so my SIL and I headed over on a Friday in mid-July for a late breakfast. We were not surprised that there was a wait, and at this point, I don't remember exactly how long we waited, but it was worth it! Once seated, we enjoyed coffee and juice. My SIL had the "Classic" with eggs over medium, sourdough toast, and bacon. I had the breakfast burrito with egg whites and chorizo. Service was attentive and everything was delicious. I would absolutely return! read more

Love the atmosphere and great food! I had the avocado toast and it was delicious. Highly recommend!

I can't believe that it took us three years to visit this spot! We've been coming to Bay Harbor, Michigan for years and were excited when this local spot moved into the space. They were always super busy in the mornings, and I used to sleep in a lot. Now that we have a baby, we were up and walking around before Maple + Batter was even open, so were the first customers in multiple times last week. I love their logo, social media, and overall aesthetics, then was even more impressed when the food was as equally delicious. It's also fun that many of their servers are on a work swap program from many European countries. Our server each day was from Romania and was super cool. Maple + Batter is mostly a breakfast spot, but they do have a chunk of their menu that lists "non breakfast" items such as a burger and grilled cheese. I started each morning with a freshly-squeezed OJ. We ordered the breakfast charcuterie board the first day too because we couldn't resist. It was a beautiful spread of pancakes, waffles, and biscuits, sprinkled with powdered sugar and paired with bowls of whipped cream, strawberries, and syrup. It was incredible and everyone loved getting a side of a sweet treat with their savory entrees. Every day, I ordered the truffle avocado toast with scrambled eggs on top. I love that they recognize that someone ordering avocado toast wants healthy toppings too. The toast came on sourdough bread (great choice) and had arugula, pickled red onion, tomatoes, feta, truffle oil, and balsamic glaze on top. I loved it. We'll be back! read more

Maple + Batter - This is the Breakfast charcuterie board! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Bay Harbor, Michigan

One of the best breakfasts we've had in a while. The ambiance of the restaurant is very nice and service was great. We went for a late breakfast on a summer Tuesday. We ordered the breakfast charcuterie (5/5), limoncello pancakes (4/5), French toast (4/5), breakfast scramble (5/5), Bloody Mary (5/5) and a cup of black coffee. The charcuterie was very fun and delicious. The limoncello pancakes were delicious but just too sweet for me. If you love super sweet breakfasts you will love these! The French toast had raisins in it so my son didn't love it. My Bloody Mary was great...good flavor and I love the toppings. My husband loved his breakfast scramble. The portions were also very big. All in all, a great place to stop for breakfast!! read more
