Sweet Maple Brunch Restaurant Brings ‘Millionaire’s Bacon’ to Santa Monica | Eater LA

"I'm excited that beloved Bay Area brunch restaurant Sweet Maple is opening its first Los Angeles location today, December 8, in an opulent Santa Monica space. I was drawn to its Asian-inspired takes on brunch classics and its trademark Millionaire’s Bacon — a thick, sweet, and slightly spicy candied slab of pork — which has helped build the cult following from its San Francisco, Palo Alto, and Cupertino locations. Signature dishes include the Pimped Up Ramyun (a deconstructed Shin Ramyun with fried egg, sautéed vegetables, and a slice of the thick bacon), the Tornado Galbi Omurice (a silky, twisted omelet dolloped over galbi fried rice), Soufflegg Skillets that recall gyeran-jjim, and croissant-dough waffles that echo the croffle trend; the Short Ribs Pot is a milder, untraditional spin on galbi-jjim topped with a poached egg and sautéed kimchi, and the Marnier french toast at this Santa Monica spot is more citrus-forward with a thicker crème brûlée crust and extra-fluffy milk bread from a local bakery. The space—taking over the former Joan’s on Third on Ocean Avenue—features high ceilings, polished table decor, shimmering chandeliers, and Korean plateware designed by owner Hoyul Choi’s wife Jiyeon to convey airiness and approachable luxury, and the menu also leans into heartier lunch options like the Jam Juicy Lucy Burger with housemade bacon jam and a crab sandwich with garlicky Dungeness crab, apple, celery, onion, arugula, and frisée. Sweet Maple is open daily from 8:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at 1705 Ocean Ave., Santa Monica, CA 90401." - Cathy Park

Had an amazing brunch experience at Sweet Maple in Santa Monica! The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming — we felt truly taken care of from the moment we walked in. The menu had such a large variety that we were honestly spoiled for choice. We ended up ordering four different breakfast items, and each one tasted absolutely heavenly. I can still remember the flavors! The ambience was warm and inviting, making the whole experience even better. Highly recommend this spot if you’re in the area — it’s a brunch lover’s dream!

I had an excellent brunch at Sweet Maple in Santa Monica. The crouffle 🧇 (croissant waffle) was truly a standout—crispy on the outside with a fluffy interior, topped with fresh fruits and a drizzle of syrup that added the perfect sweetness. The Millionaire 🥓 bacon was wonderfully cooked, sweet and spicy, balancing nicely with the sweetness of the waffles. To complement, I ordered an Espresso Martini, which was expertly made with a rich espresso shot combined with smooth vodka, delivering a sophisticated kick to start the day. Overall, the combination of flavors and quality ingredients made for a delightful and satisfying brunch experience. Highly recommend this spot.

Elevated breakfast dining by the beach - very tastefully decorated with a great menu. Since the staff were all wearing millionaire bacon shirts we HAD to try it and yes, it lives up to the name. Best bacon I have EVER had. I would have ordered more had we not been so full of our other breakfast dishes - all tastefully presented and huge portions. I personally did not love, love, love my deep fried, blueberry-stuffed French toast because it tasted too much like funnel cake which was too much for me personally for breakfast. But for what it was, it was excellent. Would absolutely come back here.

Delicious Brunch at Sweet Maple! I ordered the spinach mushroom omelet with a matcha latte—everything was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The omelet was fluffy and fresh, and the matcha was smooth and not overly sweet, just how I like it. My husband had eggs with their famous Millionaire's Bacon and a mint tea. The bacon absolutely lived up to the hype—crispy, sweet, and smoky. His meal was just as satisfying, and we both left feeling happy and full. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was relaxed but lively—great for a weekend brunch. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Wow. This was one of the best breakfasts that I’ve had in Los Angeles this year. It’s an Asian fusion brunch centered restaurant just off of Ocean Boulevard on the coastal side of Santa Monica. Inside is really bright and spread out well and quite large. There are many different seating areas and seating type options from table to booth. Our server was really polite and everything that we ordered came out really fast. It is a bit expensive compared to some other places around town but that’s to be expected with this level of quality and the location. Parking in this area can be tricky. I would suggest coming early because your only option is paid street parking or a pay lot further away. They have a ton of unique options on this menu. A lot of classic dishes but also a lot that I had never heard of or tried. My favorite breakfast dish to order is Eggs Benedict so I went with the Benedict Oscar. I chose it because I love Dungeness Crab and capers so when I saw that combo, I knew it was my choice. I loved every bit of it even though the scone at the bottom was kind of a different experience and would not be my number one choice overall, it was very good. We also ordered the Millionaire’s Bacon, which is two very large thick cut slabs of bacon with a glaze and seasoning. It was very good although quite expensive for almost $16. I also ordered a Caramel Latte and it was nice but in a pretty small cup. Overall I would highly recommend and plan to be back in the future to try more items.

I came here for breakfast with my family, and it was one of the best breakfasts of my life—I’m not exaggerating! Sweet Maple on Ocean Ave offers an unforgettable dining experience, combining fresh, high-quality ingredients with expert preparation and beautiful presentation. I ordered a crab omelet, and it was absolutely delicious—the crab was incredibly fresh, and the flavors were perfectly balanced. I also had the mini pancakes, which were not only delicious but also so beautifully presented that I almost felt guilty eating them! The restaurant is clean and stylish, the service is top-notch, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. Yes, it’s a bit pricey, but the quality is outstanding, making it worth every penny. If you’re in Santa Monica and looking for an exceptional breakfast experience, this is the place to go! Highly recommended!

This place is a must for brunch. The blueberry french toast is incredible as a shared starter or entree. The bottomless mimosa flavors are all so good and it’s a good value. The bacon is a must try. My favorite dish that I’ve had is the ramen noodles with bacon and an egg. Overall, this place is 20/10.
