Saw this cafe on the way to the outlets so we stopped on the way back for lunch. I never waited so long for 2 sandwiches, 30-35 minutes that were good but not great. If you walk in and see people sitting down with no food on their table, "walk out"! read more

Horrible service and long waits! Do not go here unless you have 50 minutes to wait for your food. I finally left after waiting 35 minutes for an omelette- they hadn't even started it by that time...and it wasn't busy. We also had a very untasty banana walnut bread in the meantime. Save yourself and avoid this hole. read more

We were leaving North Conway and were hungry and stopped in for lunch. Place is cute inside but they should put their effort into their food just as much as their ambiance. I got the steak and cheese panini and my bf the smokehouse turkey bacon. We each had half and they were both dry and meh. We had to ask for mayo for the turkey as it was like swallowing sawdust and had to ask for the horseradish sauce the steak was supposed to have on it, the cook swore she put on, but theres no way she did. We won't come back here next time we visit. Yes you also need to bring your trays up to the counter after, which I can see would be an issue if it gets busy and crowded. read more

Really cute little cafe. We stopped in for a quick lunch after an afternoon of paddling, and both of our sandwiches were really yummy! We each ordered the maple baked beans on the side, but I didn't really notice an overly maple flavor... they mostly just tasted like plain baked beans. Still good, though! Add the fact that they have some good beers available by the bottle, and we had ourselves a very pleasant little meal! read more

We were on our way home from Conway and decided to stop in here. It is a place where you order your food, pay and then seat yourself and wait until they call out your name to pick up your order. There was a long line and only one person working the counter. The kid that was working the counter also at times had to empty the dirty dish bucket as well as empty the trash bin, so he was trying to juggle a lot and in turn people had to wait a bit to even order their food. Onto the food - so breakfast isn't hard to make but some places are much better than others. This place is just ok. We ordered something that had 2 pancakes, 2 french toast, bacon, homefries and eggs over medium, a bacon, egg, cheese on english muffin and 2 iced coffees. Everything was okay but the pancakes and french toast could be better. I ate the pancakes and it tasted like bisquick. The homefries which they gave us like 10 pieces were bland and could use some salt. pepper, onion and green peppers to make it more flavorful. The iced coffee was strong but pretty good. Overall, it was okay but I will try another breakfast spot when we go back up to Conway. read more

We picked this spot based on yelp reviews and were sadly disappointed. The yogurt parfait while costing $3.75 was tiny with one very sad strawberry sliced on it, and the bagel was terrible, and served with packaged cream cheese. We will.not be returning. read more

Cute place, nice atmosphere, cute gift items for sale. But I came here for lunch and I wanted good lunch... My boyfriend and I both did the half and half option. I got the veggie melt and warm spinach salad. The salad was decent, but small portion. The veggie melt was ok, but barely any avocado and way too much cream cheese. The toast was burnt as well. My boyfriend got the beef "chili". Which was just a thin-brothed soup with some kidney beans and unseasoned ground beef. The smokehouse turkey sandwich was a lead-on. It was two thin deli slices of turkey, one burnt piece of bacon and some stone ground mustard, all put between two flattened pieces of white bread. Not to mention they forgot the cheddar cheese. The cookie was pretty ok I guess. Overall for the price, this was far from worth it. I liked Chinook Cafe better. read more

The food is okay, but the service is maddeningly slow. Their system for ordering is extremely inefficient. Entryway is crowded with knick knacks and stuff for sale. The selection of baked goods always looks sad and picked over, with only one or two of each option in the case. read more

The girl Jen behind the counter the other day was really nice and sweet. And the only reason I stayed without throwing my dishes around angrily. The other person there, maybe she was the owner, was very rude! How do you expect to keep a business going with that attitude! How am I supposed to know I'm supposed to clean my own dishes? read more

Would not recommend this place. The service was VERY slow. It took them 45 minutes to get me a coffee with a bagel and cream cheese. Staff were unfriendly and unorganized. The location is convenient, but otherwise I don't have anything positive to say about the business. read more

Stopped in here about 09:30 am on a Saturday (8/9/2014) to pick up sandwiches to bring up the Mt Washington Auto Road. They took our order, yet delayed preparing it for 1 and 1/2 hours (YES - 1.5 hours) while they completed the breakfast rush. They apparently didn't want to make any lunch orders until all the breakfast orders were done. They wasted a lot of our day and never told us that the order would take so long. You folks have earned my ONLY 1 star rating to date on Yelp. read more

Although this place does have good food most of the time, they are extremely understaffed. Which in result causes much of our order to be forgotten. Every time I go here, I never leave with the order that I had originally ordered. When I try to talk to the cook or barista and ask for my correct order, I get attitude in return. I understand you are understaffed, but ultimately not the customers problem and I should not have to be paying a lot of money for food I didn't order. read more

I came here to order breakfast with my family and they messed up a very simple order and were incredibly rude when we brought it to their attention. Very disorderly place with bad service, would not recommend. read more

The food is average, the service is horrible. We've been here twice and won't be back. Each time at least one thing that was ordered was not served. The first time they forgot a side of bacon and a muffin, the second time they forgot two sides of pancakes. read more

Great little place for breakfast! The quiche Lorraine was a little thin but very tasty. Espresso drinks are made wonderfully, the barista was very nice and helpful. The bread here is amazing, and the shop is very cute. read more

Sweet Maple Cafe - Fantastic cappuccino - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Conway, New Hampshire

See all

Stopped here for breakfast because the place looked cute from the road on a trip through New Hampshire. The pumpkin muffin was delicious and the breakfast sandwich's were good as well, but the bad service outweighs the good food. With 2 people in front of me in line I waited 25 minutes to order. Ordering takes so long since the woman behind the cash register also makes the drinks and gets the pastries. On top of doing everything up front, not understanding and getting confused with orders only made her slower. She didn't understand a hard boiled egg so told the man in front of me he will just get a fried egg instead. Then me and my father ordered and she got very frustrated with him because what she was asking didn't make sense so we didn't know how to answer. If the service was reasonable I would've given 5 stars. read more

5 star rating. Great food, great selection, and great prices. A good calm environment very peaceful. It is also dog friendly! Very clean, and great service. Outdoor and indoor seating. read more

Great little spot with friendly & efficient service. Tasty homemade treats and delicious wraps & pain is.

We ordered four sandwiches and a pancake to go. The ordering/pick-up could be a little smoother--our iced coffees sat at the counter for a bit because we didn't hear them call our name. But no big deal, really. Food came out quickly and our sandwiches were all excellent! All four sandwiches were paninis--rustic grilled cheese, smoked chicken and mozzarella, BLT. They were toasty--not one was soggy. Even the pancake was excellent! Iced coffee had coffee cubes--which is something all coffee shops should have! We will definitely be heading back on our next trip to North Conway! read more

Food is fresh and healthy but didn't have a ton of flavor. Staff is kinda unfriendly.

As others have noted, the service is really slow. Don't go on your lunch break. The food is good when you finally get it, but they upcharge for EVERYTHING. I had to pay extra for a tiny cup of extra chipotle mayo (they don't put enough on the sandwiches). read more

Totally underwhelming! My wife, daughter, and I stopped in for breakfast a couple of weekends ago. Food was as tasty as week-old wallpaper paste. Rather expensive for highly lackluster food. Go to Bea's Cafe up the street instead--much more (slightly more tasty) food and much more reasonable pricing. read more

We had to wait over an hour for 2 sandwiches and a fried egg. The food was great, but the service was horrible. They made mistakes on 2 out of the 3 orders. It was very disorganized. read more

This was our first time here, but it won't be our last. My friend ordered the rustic grilled cheese and she loved it. I got traditional bacon eggs and toast, which was far from traditional. They used homemade bread for both meals, made fresh on the premises. They also have a gluten-free menu. The menu is varied; there is something for everyone! There also was a selection of goodies that you could take home with you, including homemade breads. Highly recommended. Very relaxing atmosphere with nice quiet music. read more

Breakfasts are "To Die For". Homemade everything, or so it seems. Maple syrup for your pancakes, great pastries, extremely efficient owners & waitstaff. It takes your first time to get in the groove, between ordering and clean up, but well worth it. We've been there a number of times. Love it. read more

Stopped for lunch and after waiting 40 minutes to order we could see the poor organization to this place. The girl taking orders was also making drinks and it took forever. When I finally got my rustic Vermont grilled cheese it was the most pathetic looking sandwich. The soup was okay and our Brookie muffin was a little dry. read more

I really would love to give this cute little cafe' a much better rating and if it weren't for the HORRIBLY RUDE woman (I believe she is the owner) who was in the kitchen, I probably would. The food is OK but we couldn't even enjoy it due to what we witnessed. My husband and I were in for breakfast the other day and we were the only people in there. A nice woman was training a young girl and they were moving about taking care of things when the woman in the back shouted out what the soup of the day was going to be. The woman in the front apologized and asked the owner to repeat what she had said and she curtly belted out "I hate repeating myself ..." we couldn't believe it. We continued to eat beginning to feel uncomfortable ... and then it got worse! The next thing we know she was shouting again at the woman in the front to answer her question because "she's in the middle of a recipe and she doesn't have time for this." She was belittling this woman. She comes out from the kitchen (it's all open) and gives us a look and for a moment I thought she was realizing what she was doing and would stop acting this way in front of paying customers, but nope ... she gives us a look as if to say "I can't believe this girl" and continues to carry on. Guess what? That's not all! The next thing we know she is back at the window yelling at the girls saying "why is she (referring to the trainee) standing around? She points at her wrist and says "it's 7:30 ... there should be no standing around at 7:30 ... EVER." The thing is that they weren't "standing around" the woman was training the girl. Typically that means one person demonstrates while one watches. This is a very small cafe' and we were the ONLY people in there so we could very clearly see and hear everything that was going on. My husband and I were truly appalled at the owner's behavior. It's disgusting enough to treat your employees that way but it takes it to a whole other level to do that in front of your paying customers! It totally ruined our experience. Too bad ... without her the place would probably be great. read more

Breakfast was great. Fresh ingredients, fast service even when extremely busy, cooked to perfection. The fresh bread was out of this world, buttermilk pancakes were rich and flavorful, hand cut home fries, Apple wood smoked bacon. NOT a greasy spoon. Much better. read more

Been here several times but not happy about breakfast today. Omelette was dry, homefries were greasy and tough and I needed to cut through the pancake with a knife. Too bad. read more

Ridiculously slow service, we tried to go here because we had several people with dietary restrictions, but we were ignored for 20 minutes in line. There were no less than 5 people working and no one would acknowledge us even when we tried to ask if we could order soon. There was a line out the door and two people were filling napkin holders? The only person doing any work told us she needed to make a bunch of milkshakes instead and couldn't take our orders. Finally, we asked a woman if we could order and then pay because the cook was just standing in the kitchen with gloves on, and the woman just told us we were in line and we would have to wait. She walked away and did not seem to care. That's when we decided to leave, all 9 of us who probably would have spent a significant amount just because there were so many of us. Run, don't walk, to another restaurant! read more

Food is good, tastes fresh enough...The poor attitude of the chef yelling across the inside of the restaurant at the young lady at the register for allowing me to order a cheese omelette and bacon past the "designated time" was unnecessary...Especially considering we had already paid for everything. Should have just made the cheese omelette...not like it was a rough one...There's bacon on a lot of their lunch sandwich's should not have caused such duress for the chef...Very weird indeed... read more

I would not recommend this cafe for gluten free options. The bread on my sandwich was not only terrible tasting, but it was grilled on a grill that is used for the whole restaurant. When I asked the woman at the counter to do something about this bread, I was introduced to the owner who was very rude. She started off the bat by yelling and belittling me, I was simply trying to ask for an actual gluten free meal. Definitely wouldn't reccomend, food not up to par, and disrespectful management. read more

If you're in a hurry go elsewhere. Lots of people in training... Mensroom sink was out of order with a "Poisonous chemical" sign. Expected you to bus your own tables; Wicked over-priced. Would not go back. read more

Lovely people working there. Relaxed and cozy setting. Lots of locals which is always a fun! Order your food at counter, pay. find a seat. Seating might get dicey if it is during a busy hour. Good made from scratch food. Not like the cookie cutter chain restaurants. Fun little gift items. I had a breakfast sandwich. Nicely done. A must to go back to. read more

My wife and I stopped there recently for a quick lunch. We split the roast beef sandwich. Very disappointing and overpriced.

Great place, I had the Garlic Roast Beef hot panini. The sandwich size was just right and the taste was spot on. Waited about five minutes to get all the food for a party of four. I would recommend stopping by, I wanted to try the maple lemonade but they were all out :(. read more

The service here is so bad. The owner is disrespectful to all staff and customers! This restaurant is so expensive and not worth it at all!

This is one of our favorite stop when driving up to the mountains. Such a nice change from chains restaurants - friendly, local, fresh, delicious, inviting. We like to enjoy a sandwich or coffee and goodie before heading up to the cabin, so you arrive happy not hungry and crabby. We pick up baked goodies, sometimes fresh local veggies, even gifts so that we don't have to run to the store. I bought my favorite colorful tea cup there and gifts for folks at the office. read more

Just stopped in on a beautiful Sunday afternoon while leaving North Conway. Walked in at 2:45 and they wouldn't serve us food because they close at 3:00. I work at a restaurant and understand wanting to leave right at close. However, if a customer comes in before the time we close, we serve them. Not quite sure why it would take over 15 minutes to make a sandwich anyways. read more

Stopped here for a late breakfast on a Sunday. Not fancy, a bit cramped in the winter when there is no outdoor space. No table service, you order at the counter and bus your own tray. Food was slow in coming given how few orders they had waiting, but a sign on the door was advertising for every kind of staff imaginable, so they must be looking for employees who know the food business. Toast was excellent... Thick sliced and not from the grocery store. Eggs, sausage, veggie scramble all very ordinary. Not bad, just ordinary. read more
