I've been visiting Sweet Maple for years, and it never disappoints! A friend first introduced me to this gem, and it quickly became one of my go-to spots.
One of my absolute favorites is their ube latte--specifically served warm. It's pure comfort in a cup, with just the right balance of sweetness and creaminess. The flavor reminds me of a warm hug, and I find myself craving it all the time. If you're looking for a drink that feels like a cozy treat, this is it.
The food here is just as impressive as the drinks. Their chicken croffle is a standout--imagine a perfectly flaky croissant pressed into a waffle and paired with thin, crispy chicken cutlets. It's such a creative twist on comfort food, and the combination of textures is divine.
I've also tried their matcha mochi waffle, which is a perfect balance of earthy matcha flavor and chewy mochi texture--it's such a fun and unique dish. And the San Francisco omelette? Absolutely delicious, packed with fresh ingredients and cooked to perfection.
The service is always friendly and welcoming, but do be prepared to wait during peak hours--this spot is popular for a reason. That said, the line moves fairly quickly, and if the wait is longer, you can always explore downtown Palo Alto while you pass the time.
Sweet Maple is a place I'll keep returning to for its creative menu, warm atmosphere, and consistently excellent food and drinks. Highly recommend giving it a try!
