Maple + Clove

I recently visited Maple and Clove Cafe in Barton, and I had an amazing experience! The food and coffee were absolutely delicious, and the smoothie and freshly squeezed juice were incredibly refreshing. Every dish was bursting with flavor, and the coffee was expertly brewed—just what I needed to start my day. What truly made the experience memorable, though, was the staff. The baristas and all the staffs are very friendly, and had smiling faces, creating such a welcoming atmosphere. It’s clear they take pride in both their food and service. I highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a great meal, coffee, or a refreshing drink in a welcoming environment!

Always a fantastic place for brunch or lunch. The food is delicious, the seating is comfortably spaced out and not crowded, and the staff are efficient and friendly. Highly recommended for a catch up with friends or family and a lovely meal. The crab omelette is an essential!

nice and cozy joint with great food and drinks. P.S.: Owner please mandate kitchen staff to wear hairnets at all time for hygiene purposes!

Brunch was lovely here. Good food good options and spacious ! I had the sweet potato hash brown egg dish and it was so filling and delicious! Coffee was pretty good too I recommend. My other said their food was pretty good too, especially the blue swimmer crab rice dish.

Excellent breakfast menu, with a lot of unique choices. Gets very busy in the morning so best to get their soon after the kitchen opens at 7:30.

Really lovely first experience there today. We turned up mid-morning on a Saturday without a booking, which was a little rash, but staff were unflappable and found us a seat very quickly. We couldn't be outdoors but were happy in the beautiful indoor space which was bustly and full but not loud or uncomfortable. We tried the blue swimmer crab omelette which was AMAZING and an absolutely enormous serving (we split it between 2) and added some sourdough toast which was a lovely addition. Also excellent coffee - we splurged on the ice coffee with ice cream which was like a decadent dessert. Would definitely return!

Fantastic coffee and menu, love the ambience on the inside and lots of seating despite always being cramped for space. Only downside is that I consistently wait 30-45 min for my coffee in morning if I arrive between 7:45-8:45am.

whether you are in for a quick morning bite, or need some caffeine on the go, these guys seem to be a popular spot with the goods coffee was good, and i also had their porridge which was great. the waiters and waitresses were attentive however every time i have ordered a coffee here it has taken a long time! i waited a little over half an hour for my coffee during my dine in for breakfast - the table across me ordered coffee after me however they had received AND finished their coffee before i received mine... (even upon highlighting to the staff i was waiting on coffee they advised my coffee was next - which still took another 10mins) - i honestly believe they forgot the order! upon another time where i was ordering coffee takeaway... i waited close to 20mins before receiving it overall Maple and Clove is good however i have consistently received lacking service when it comes to their coffee efficiency

No reservations but they seated us quickly. Food was excellent. Service was a bit European but we weren't in a hurry.

So I'm travelling alone and this restaurant seems to stick solo diners in a corner! There are five of shivering in cold out of any sunlight stuck in a bench. No service once seated so one by one the solo folk plod up to order from a sympathetic barista watching out plight. Need to send these owners to NY for a lesson in the magic of a solo diner- they are fast, like maintenance and appreciative. Unless they are stuck in a dark cold corner and ignored. Food is okay.

beautiful location and delicious food. only problem was the wait time (1hr) for food, but it was a busy day so it was to be expected. highly recommend the sweet potato hashbrown!! the wait staff were amazing though considering how stressful the situation was for them, they deserve all the praises for being so patient with the customers.

I live in San Jose, CA, and don't get to Maple & Clove very often. Actually just twice in 73 years! Breakfast was great both times we went. Stayed at The Realm Hotel over Easter Weekend. On Easter Sunday, the Easter Bunny was there greeting all the kids - and me - and we watched an Easter Egg Hunt from our outdoor table. Bottom line: great food and great coffee at reasonable prices! It's well worth a visit!!

My office is nearby so I've actually been to Maple & Clove a few times. They have a hipster kind of vibe, but the restaurant is actually hipster-free on the weekdays. Monday-Friday the place is pretty quiet until lunchtime, then the work crowd comes in (lots of business meetings from what I can see) and all hell breaks loose. The first time I went was with some girlfriend's for brunch and later that same day for an interview. One of the girls got the eggs on toast with avocado, the other two got the portobello mushroom burger, and I got the smoked salmon, rocket + rye. Some of us got coffee. Since we got there a bit early we actually couldn't order the "after 11:30" dishes, but the waitress graciously offered to take our orders early and put them in the second the clock hit the right time. We had all of our food by 11:45. The portions are HUGE. At first I was thinking that the high prices were just for the environment, but no, they give you a whole lot of food. My dish came with a huge pile of smoked salmon and at least a whole avocado's worth of smashed avo. The bread was perfectly toasted and the rocket salad well dressed. The only thing I probably could've done without were the eggs (I added them on). Aside from being far too much for my already huge meal, they were a bit on the hard side -- I like a runny yolk. The other standout dish was the portobello burger. Ordinarily you'd think a portobello burger was a burger with a mushroom patty, right? Wrong. The buns are made out of whole mushrooms. It's quite a sight. It's stuffed with a variety of fresh veggies and come with a side of delicious carrot fries. At the interview I ordered a berry smoothie, it was fine. Nothing to write home about. Sorta a waste of money, but I think that's because I didn't order a good flavor. I saw plenty of people ordering two or three to-go. The next time I went, I was by myself and ordered the savoury spelt waffle. Despite it being a very busy day I still got my order in a short amount of time. It was another huge portion and I found myself struggling to finish it (I managed of course). The waffle itself was very interesting, not savoury, but vegetal. You get chunks of corn and zucchini on occasion. The eggs were still on the hard side, but forgivable. A definite recommend, a great brunch spot.

The place has a bit of a hipster feel on weekends - but during the week it seems to be mainly suits. Bonus if you're staying at the nearby Realm or Burbury hotel is that the free wifi works. I had the spelt pancakes the first time and they were delicious. The shaved coconut gave it a nice texture. The second time around I had French toast - which if I was a country would be my official dish. This was OK. The fact it was made with a dense spelt bread made it very heavy and become something of a hire to eat after a while - and the caramelised orange sauce is made with artificial sweetener - and you can tell. The coffee is pretty good - but if you're used to a decent strength you might want to opt for the double shot for added punch. I'm told the fresh start plate was good for what it was and the mushrooms tasty. But since they're all vegetables - I didn't dabble. You don't make friends with salad!

Full disclosure; I am avoiding caffeine mostly, so can't talk about the coffee. But THE FOOD! And the drinks I did have came out SO fast, I am a huge fan! Exactly what I would want for a regular breakfast cafe in Adelaide, I feel I would be here all the time. Soy Matcha Latte was tasty and NOT automatically sweet which meant they were actually using an authentic base instead of that milk powder/sugar stuff a lot of places use, matcha flavour was strong, it was gorgeous to look at, loved it. And the Fresh Start brekky with gf bread, dayum. Perfect smoked salmon, some kind of creme fraiche or goats cheese, the gluten free bread was delicious with a wonderful texture and THE BEST breakfast tomatoes I have ever had (normally I don't eat the soft too-flavoursome tomatoes, but these were lightly cooked with a balsamic drizzle, yes please). lastly the Rehydrate fresh juice with watermelon, strawberries and coconut water was tasty, fresh and just what I needed. Decor was hipster neat, with dark wood tones and service was a 9/10 as one staff sat me down and then disappeared forever but another blonde staff member more than made up for it by being extremely friendly and fast. I could hear her talking to other customers around the corner and she seemed just as friendly with everyone else! Would definitely do again, just to seenif the service was ok second time around!

Stayed in a near by hotel and visited the cafe twice. The first time the service and good was great. I'm a bit of a coffee snob and I have to say it was present enough. Not sure what beans and milk they use but I had two, which is a good sign. All of the food on the menu reads great, mostly all is GF and very healthy. The next day I was in a hurry and ordered a take away latte. I can easily say that it is in my top 10 of worst coffees ever. Tasted really burnt, the milk was over heated (almost to boiling point). By the time I waited for it to cool down 20 mins had pasted, I took a sip and through it away. Waste of $4.

Good coffee (most of the time), and quality healthy food makes this a go-to place when I stay in Barton. But the regular barista is painfully slow. Even as I draft this review, several poetntial customers see the coffee line is 3 deep and turn away because they know this means aroung a 5 minute wait. Good place, but needs to sort out effectively serving coffee during peak periods.

A $9 milkshake and a long black that I got charged $3.80 for when the cup says they are $3.50? Fail!! Not going back for what looked like some yummy food. You lost me over a 30c rip off
