The Maple, located in the quiet Maple Leaf neighborhood, is a popular brunch place that serves hearty staples like Chicken & Waffles, steak burritos, French toast and mimosas! 1) Service (-): There are no reservations so we had to wait about 30 minutes, even early on a Saturday morning. This is a self-serve restaurant where you order and pay on your phone after scanning a QR code. After your meal, you will also have to bus the table yourself as well. 2) Ambience (+): The restaurant has a cozy, and homey neighborhood atmosphere with a covered and heated tent area. There were great COVID safety protocols with the server wearing masks and gloves the whole time. 3) Food (+): We ordered the Chicken & Waffles, which featured sausage gravy and maple syrup, and the Grilled Steak Breakfast burrito, which had Carne Asada, egg, cheddar, black beans, chipotle yogurt sauce, and herbed potatoes. Both were delicious! 4) Alcohol/Drinks (+): There are 2 house made brunch cocktails on the menu - the Bloody Mary and a pint of Mimosa. I got the mimosa and it was yummy and substantial. 5) Value for Money (+): The prices are great here for the quality and decent portion sizes, with each brunch dish costing around $15. read more

Steak burrito is more like a steak wrap - light on beans heavy on steak and eggs (this is a good thing.) Staff is VERY friendly. read more

Originally tried to come here for brunch but my friend and I are horrible at choosing a place to eat. It took us an hour to make a decision and this was nearby. She's visiting from Turkey and wanted French toast. I didn't mind missing brunch as I'm not big on breakfast food. The staff was great. I really like them, very friendly and personable. We ordered crispy Brussels sprouts and green curry mussels while waiting for dinner service to start. When it did we shared a dungeness crab roll. Everything was delicious, we did find some of the truffle fries a bit too salty but it wasn't too bad. The roll came with some pickled veggies and that really added a nice acidity to the meal. I really enjoyed everything we ordered. The mussels had great flavor so did the brussel sprout. The roll though was packed with so much crab and it was so yummy. read more

Loved the chicken and waffle! Probably the best chicken and waffle I've ever had. The crispiness of the chicken + flavor of gravy + syrup - it was the first time I felt those parts came together super well. Portion wise it was just right. Very cute interior in a house like restaurant. read more

We were looking for a place with outdoor seating, that was convenient for the 3 of us meeting and found this place. They have outdoor seating with heaters, the tables with lot of space between them, contactless ordering and payment( they have an app or a QRcode to start the ordering process). I got the Aperol Sprtiz and Crab Spaghetti. I enjoyed my drink and loved the crab spaghetti, lots of crab in an amazing sauce. The portion was the right size for me. Now that I have discovered this place, I'll be back. read more

Ok this place is so cute!!! It's inside an old house so it was quaint and cozy. Great idea to do I thought! The bloody Mary's were spot on. I tend not to like them and every time we go to brunch I order one hoping I'll like it. I did and ordered two! It was a win! You can add a mini beer for $2 so why not. I honestly thought my meal was too rich but if you like cambozola cheese then get this dish. I got the Croque Madame and I usually stick to what I know but I wanted to try something different. I still ate it all! My friend said the chicken and waffles were the best he ever had. Whoo-hoo! The brunch burger was great I had a bite and my husband enjoyed it very much. I'll be getting that the next time around! The service was excellent and they were on it even though it was very busy. I highly recommend trying The Maple. I also have been here during the summer months and had their frozen cocktails on the deck. All great! read more

They might be better with lunch, Though, dinner today was dissappointing. 20mins wait and there were lots of empty table inside. You scan QR code and order and pay on phone. You bust your own table and get your own water. The waitress bring food to you. Cute outdoor setup, inside look normal. I love the garden backyard vibe All 4 of us ordered: Burger and fries, Fish and chips, Salmon tacos and Burrata and Hummus. -The salmon and pineapple tacos were interesting, wouldnt say its excellent so 3/5 -Burger and fries and fish and chips are 3/5. Fries are fries, burger can be better, its normal. Cod fried fish was not fresh. -Burrata and Hummus was bad. I have never had this quality. Hummus is a curry hummus. Both cant be spreaded well on the bread. All veggies are just sliced veggies nothing specially done. So 1/5. I appreciate the creativity and food invention though they were not good. read more

Seems like a friendly establishment. They have an outdoor heated area/beer garden. Arrived here around 11am without a reservation. We were told 30 mins but ended up waiting an hour+. I think it's better to underpromise and over-deliver instead because we would have gone elsewhere. I understand that restaurants don't always have a say when their guests finish their brunch, so I did try to overlook this. I really wanted to love the food but 1) The French toast was stale. I've never had stale French toast before but the bread was truly dry. The flavors were all there it was just the quality of the bread 2) The egg Benedict and Chicken and waffles were cold. When hollandaise/egg gets cold, it's really unappetizing 3) Not sure about the soggy texture of the gravy on the waffles. I personally think chicken and waffles should be crunchy, and gravy can be on the side 4) The Bloody Mary's were bitter I was told by the hostess that they would turn on the outdoor heater for us before we sat down. Halfway through our meal, I asked our server and they said yes. But nope, no one came by to turn on the heater and I was basically sitting in the cold eating my cold food. read more

Walked in, really warm and cozy. Instantly greeted, saw a fire place, sat opposite of it. Enjoyed the room, next to the bar, staff were very friendly, and art work on the walls were nice. Ordered two cocktails, black diamond (strong, put some hair on the chest, a slow sipper but good) and aqueduct racetrack - solid cocktail (wasn't my favorite but my partner enjoyed it so good). Ordered smoked clam dip, delicious. Thick sauce with clams in it. Maybe would have preferred a small fork instead of spoon to scoop out bits/clams. Sauce was thick enough I believe could have still scooped it up with and getting enough sauce with clams as well. Felt like a solo app that could be shared a little. Sauce on crackers were delicious. Fish and chips were phenomenal. Will say, had a little regrets after seeing previous fish and chips posted on yelp (not that that would have been bad but just the way menu described it made seem more epic). Was thoroughly surprised and pleased with what was present to me. Cod was cooked perfectly and the batter was delicious. The tartar sauce was a highlight. Could have had the fish without the sauce, signs of a perfectly fried fish, but the sauce enhanced it. Fries were delicious as well. A real gem of a spot, saw outdoor seating that looked fun in warmer weather. Would recommend coming. read more

Great food. Staff & manager ate friendly, professional, and super helpful. Their cocktails are amazing. Summer/warm days the outdoor beer garden is open for furry loved one (aka dogs). It's a cute & coz bar. The online ordering from outside patio was little difficult due lack of ability to customize the food according to allergies. Other than great quality experience. Definitely highly recommend from my side. read more

What a cool restaurant in the heart of the cute Maple Leaf neighborhood! I have driven by here so many times and thought it was someone's house. It feels super cozy inside with lots of natural light and seating by the windows. The accoustics can be a little jarring when there's a loud group near the entrance, but I chose to sit far away from them and wasn't bothered by it in the opposite corner of the front room. The server was a sweet guy with a bright and fun personality, creating a good vibe for the brunch environment on a rainy weekend. I had the cauliflower and asparagus with poached eggs - perfectly poached eggs are so decadent on anything and this dish was a dream for this ova-lacta-pescatarian! I requested no bacon and that was no issue. My friend ordered the avocado toast and loved it as well. The coffee was good and the drink menu was inventive. My friend had a fun purple one that packed a punch! I'll have to try out some of the others in the future. read more

An outstanding local establishment in what appears to be a very large, older house in the neighborhood. I've never had a bad meal or drink here and the service is always outstanding. They also know my friend (who lives in the neighborhood) on a first name basis, which only adds to the wonderful vibe here. Appetizers, entrees and desserts - nothing more I can add that hasn't already been written in the other reviews. I must have gone through at least half the menu by now and everything is served with the same care and attention to detail. read more

I've been meaning to stop by this cute "frozen" cocktail place for a couple years. On the side they have a banana stand window that always gets my attention when I pass by. I was disappointed that they didnt actually have frozen bananas and it was unclear if they actually have them at all. The menu was a little hipstery/foody for me with lots of odd spices and lavender in the food and drinks . This is a great spot for people in search of unique menu items. We ended up getting fries with aioli and Brussel sprouts with the 2 sauces (and nuts on the side). Both were very good as were our drinks. The children's menu was great and simple and the outdoor dining area was really fun and whimsical. Dogs are welcome outside and were given water bowls. They had 2 frozen drink options to choose from that day and I chose one and it was well balanced and refreshing. read more

This place is so charming! It's a restaurant in an old home, seating is limited. We always visit when we have guests in town. The food is fresh and delicious!! The menu changes depending on the season. They offer frozen drinks during summer and hot drinks during winter. The service is friendly and fast! It's definitely a hidden gem! read more

Still a go-to for brunch. A friend and I visited on a Saturday morning around 11am, and while the indoor tables were full, amazingly we were promptly seated outside. I still love their outdoor seating - heating lamps, covered tables, a spot with water, utensils, and bus tubs. We ordered on our phones with the QR code. Something new from when I was last here is when ordering on your phone, you can order your food, but your tab stays open. I imagine it can cause an issue for folks who may forget or not notice to close out. I found it convenient to order more drinks. The food came out within 15ish mins - felt really fast as my friend and I were busy chatting. The food was good and the pint mimosas were spot on. I'll be back! read more

Breakfast: 9/10 Atmosphere: 8/10 Experience: 5/10 I'll start by saying the food was really good. I had the croque madame, and it was fantastic. Everything I wanted and more - great bread, tasty ham, egg cooked to perfection, everything in balance. Came with a nice small fresh greens salad on the side. The potatoes were good, but nothing to write mom about. Overall, a really good meal. The bloody mary was decent, but nothing exceptional...they call it "award winning", but I have my doubts. The back patio was a great spot to sit and have brunch. There's also a water station out there which is pretty handy. Where we weren't too stoked on this place was mostly with the online ordering experience and the service that came with it. There were three of us, and although we ordered our meals within a couple minutes of one another, our food came out of the kitchen staggered over 20 minutes apart. After things were delivered, servers were hard to come by to request coffee refills, hot sauce, etc. I also ordered bacon under the "breakfast sides" menu, but instead of on the side my bacon came inside the croque madame. Not the end of the world, but not exactly what I wanted either. Bottom line - the food was really good, but the systems for ordering and serving definitely need some work. read more

Best chicken and waffles I have ever had. I don't think I could order them from anywhere else now. Ever!! Fantastic flavor. The chicken was salty but perfectly crisp and juicy. The gravy had a good viscosity. The maple syrup was sweet and I liked getting it on the side so I could dunk my bites. Probably more details than you needed, but I am still dreaming about this brunch. I ended up splitting this meal because the portion was so generous and I added a side of scrambled eggs with avocado, but I won't judge if you devour the whole thing. It is absolutely delicious. Get the chicken and waffles, you won't regret it. read more

The Maple - Chicken and waffles with a side of scrambled eggs and avocado - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Seattle, Washington

A very cozy place for a Sunday brunch :) The vibe was so cozy and warm (the heaters helped). The place has a very homey vibe. We ordered the chicken waffle, the french toast, and the croque madame. The chicken waffle was a classic, solid option. The french toast was ideal since it wasn't too sweet, but probably not the best one I've had. The croque madame had a delicious bechamel sauce, but not the best I've had. However, all the meals we ordered were pleasant enough :) Overall, I would go back for a Sunday brunch someday to try out their other options, as well as their drinks! read more

The maple is a great spot for any time of day. Their brunch is amazing (not pictured but worth ordering - their Croque Madame). We've also been a few times for drinks and starters (surf n turf board is awesome) and dinner (burger is amazing). Staff is always incredibly nice and very helpful, especially with how they've had to pivot during covid. Highly recommend the Maple! read more

This restaurant was really cute! From the outside it looks like it could be someone's home, yet the inside has been transformed into a restaurant with a bar area as well as indoor and outdoor seating options. We ordered the Maple Burger and Fish and Chips, both with truffle fries. The combination of the brioche bun, blue cheese, and bacon jam on the burger made for a fantastic combo of flavors. My only critique was that I asked for my burger to be cooked medium, yet it came out well-done. The fish and chips were crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside- probably some of the best fish and chips I've had in the Seattle area which was very unexpected for such a small and tucked away restaurant! Truffle fries were so good too, great flavor and crunch factor. Overall an enjoyable dining experience, would recommend! read more

Absolutely delicious. I had the savory, warm, delicious eggs Benedict, others had chicken and waffles, asparagus salad. Well made, quality food. Their banana stand on the side of the building served mulled wine you can walk around the neighborhood with! Some of the best mulled I've ever had. And the ratio of the pint sized mimosa was 2:1! Best perk for this outdoor dining experience is being able to order on your phone, place the order, and keep your tab open to order more instead of individual checks. read more

Had brunch here after my son's basketball game nearby and this place is so good! Service and their good was incredible. Son had the breakfast burger. Hubby had the breakfast burrito. I had the asparagus salad with pepper bacon. Delicious and two thumbs up for the service. Great find! read more

Loved the frozen alcoholic beverages here. I got one with jalapeños in it and boy did it have a kick. These were a bit small in size for the price but I felt like I was supporting a local business amidst the pandemic, so I didn't mind. My friend posted a pic of their POG, and I'm not gonna lie... that's what I was really craving. A refreshing treat on a warm day... plus it's a banana stand... how can you not? read more

The Maple - Brunch menu - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I've been coming to The Maple over the last 3 years occasionally. I've always loved this place, but recently I have started to love it even more. This restaurant is in a cute little neighborhood in North Seattle (conveniently right next to my work) and they offer a good selection of food and drinks. They have a nice outdoor patio seating as well as indoor. During the covid pandemic it has been pretty hard to find restaurants that offer a good selection nd fast and efficient service. However The Maple offers both of those things! Their new food ordering system is one of the best I have seen yet. They are quick nd super easy. You can get yourself a meal and drinks and be out within 30 minutes if needed! I've had just about everything on their menu and its all delicious. I always recommend thi place to my friends and family and will continue to do so! read more

We were excited to try this place out, but unfortunately the food just wasn't that good. My companion got a dish that was so spicy (and no mention of spice-level on the menu) they couldn't even finish it. It was all very expensive too. Staff was nice but overall we were disappointed. read more

I wanted to try a new brunch spot, and noticed this place was super close to home. My friend and I came in at around 12:30 on a Sunday so given, there was a tiny wait. But they cleared a table and we were able to sit down pretty quickly. I had ordered a pint of mimosa which was only $7. If you live in Seattle, that's good. Normally that's a price for a flute, so the prices for drinks were definitely affordable. Our food came and the presentation was great. The only reason I'm docking one star is because both my friend and I felt like our food was a little under-seasoned, and even my dish was a little cold upon arrival. I like food to be super hot before I start eating, so this just may be a biased opinion. Overall, it's a super comforting and cozy vibe. The staff was very friendly and checked in frequently. And I'm eager to try their dinner/happy hour menu. read more

The Maple - Eggs Benedict with crab and avocado and two eggs scrambled with bacon - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Been coming here for brunch the past 3 years. We feel the quality of the food has been slowly declining. I always get the chicken and waffles and it used to be one of the best in Seattle; now the waffle isn't crisp, the fried chicken is soggy, and the gravy is overly salty. My partner gets the two egg breakfast and that has also been hit or miss. This last time they brought out the wrong order of eggs and the potatoes were so salty that not even a quarter of it was eaten. On the positive side the wait staff has always been friendly and the vibe of the restaurant is nice. However, I probably wont be coming back unless I hear from someone else that the food has improved. It's a shame because they used to have such an amazing brunch :( Service 4/5: friendly but have messed up order multiple times Food 3/5: used to be a 5/5, but now nothing to write home about Ambiance 4/5: clean, usually busy on weekends read more

Perfect place for a weekend brunch! The order took longer than expected to come out (3 dishes) but food was delicious. You have to find street parking near the restaurant, and it took me awhile. You might want to come a little earlier if you are expecting to meet friends at a certain time. read more

I live in Maple Leaf and was just in dining tonight. I am constantly impressed by the food, the service, the atmosphere and the great customer service. Tonia (Tania) apologies for misspelling their name has gone above and beyond on service. It is hospitality like that that you can't teach the current generation of servers. Lauren, the manager was extremely nice and I'll be returning again and again. I highly recommend brunch, their steak, kafta chicken, clams, and burgers. Everything else is delicious as well. Please continue to supper this local gem. From someone who was in the food industry for 20 years it is hard to find service and servers that go 150 percent for customers. read more
