I just went to Red Maple Cafe for the first time today and really enjoyed the experience. My wife mother and daughter all loved our food and the ambiance. The fried chicken and waffles were very flavourful and unique because of the blackberry sauce they served with the waffles. The fried chicken was juicy crispy and flavorful. The blackberry sauce also mixed nicely with some hot sauce! The brisket burrito my wife got was very good, flavorful and tender brisket. Their house breakfast potatoes were also very good. Spiced but not spicy so that even my daughter approved and enjoyed. Their custom coffees were very fun too as you can have them take a picture of your choosing and put it on the cream of their coffee!Our server Brian was also excellent and attentive. Very helpful and patient. We could not have asked for a better first experience and server.Thank you Red Maple we will be back !
This is a great, classic diner-type spot for breakfast or brunch in Toluca Lake. We had a party of three that came on a Sunday at 9:00 a.m, and were seated right away. The coffee is delicious, but they also have lattes with images of famous celebrities as latte art, which was really well done. A member of our party is a huge fan of Janet Jackson and they were able to do latte art of her, even though she wasn't listed on the menu as an option. He loved it!The French toast, traditional breakfast and brisket breakfast burritos were all delicious and nicely sized portions. Service was attentive and the food came out quickly. All in all, it was a wonderful experience!Parking: Lot is behind the restaurant. Street parking restricted depending on day and time.

The staff is very helpful and friendly. The food has always been delicious. And the place is very comfortable. I thank the staff for being so nice and kind. Mt first visit was on my birthday last year and we love coming to Red Maple. Love the photos on the coffee too.

Front House Staff was rude. The guy at the front kept trying to kick us out, even though we had just ordered our drinks. It was busy, great! Understood. No reason to rush out your clientele. Not cool. Then, he just kept staring at us. Kinda strange. The food was good though. Wait staff was great. It is loud during brunch. Bring your throat lozenges.
Actually 3.5 The service was pretty good maybe a 4.5, probably the best part of Red Maple. We arrived after putting our names on a wait list for 4 and they said we only put it in for 2 (very untrue). So they made us wait a little longer. But our server was on top of it & very nice. The environment was fine, but Chaotic. Probably a 3. They were trying to cram way too many people into a small space. Our chairs kept getting bumped and a water spilled as a result. The food was fine. Overall a 3. We ordered the French Toast with lemon ricotta and berries to share. And while the toppings were delicious, the French Toast itself was super dry. Didn't love that. I had a "glass" of sangria which was teeny tiny and not good at all. Had the Vegan Chicken Sandwich which was also dry but overall tasty and the kale salad which was the best part of the meal. All in all I might come back here, but not my first choice in the area.

Sooooooo good! Try the chicken & lemon waffles! And you MUST get a celebriLATTE with the photo of your fave celeb--I got the Madonna tiramisu latte, devilish & delish!

Fantastic French toast! What was even better was the celebrity latte that allows you to put the face of your favorite celebrity on the foam of the latte..... we chose our grandson!

Ordered mocha half sweet, could have had full sweet here. Same with the vanilla latte my partner ordered. They print celebrities on your espresso drinks, which is a cute conversation starter, doesn't affect the taste. The celebrity you get friends on the drink you order. There is a legend on the menu, but you can probably also make special requests. Traditional breakfast w bacon & 1/2 avocado w 1 gluten free pancake - the bacon was a nice thickness, good flavor. The eggs were well cooked, scrambled and not at all dry. The sourdough toast was delivered dry and without butter, so know to ask for that, if you want it. The avocado was super fresh. The potatoes were nice and do did not at all find them greasy like some other reviewers. They do not have real maple syrup, however, so bring your own, if you like that (I recommend it!). The gluten free pancake has a crispier outside than the regular one, but this was a nice contrast to the soft inside texture for me. This was a fluffy, almost whole grain flavor. Imo, a great gluten free pancake. My preferred texture for pancakes is really more of a thick crepe, but most ppl are after this airy fluffy texture, so if that's you, this is a great version. Comes with a light dusting of powdered sugar Burger, brussel sprouts & 1 regular pancake - Burger was decent, brussel sprouts were a nice mix of sweet and spicy with a thick glaze. I'd get the brussel sprouts again. The regular pancake was the same fluffy soft variety you'd expect, but still not our favorite rendition. Service was friendly and helpful, answered all my questions and made great suggestions. Very accommodating, attentive and kind. The decor was kitchy cute ..we came in during the December holidays so it was a lot of Christmas stuff everywhere. It feels very homey and comfortable, like grandma's house. Not sure how it looks other times of year. They have a nice outdoor patio section by the street, and it's a corner lot so there is a lot of space. There is some parking in the lot behind the building and also on the street, altho street parking can be difficult in this area depending on the day and time.
