Sweet Maple Cafe occupies a modest storefront on Taylor Street in Little Italy, built around a '40s-era atmosphere and an old-fashioned approach to breakfast and lunch. The crowd is a mix of business owners, police officers, professors, students, retirees, and tourists who've made it part of their routine.
The menu leans on homemade sweet milk biscuits and Not-So-Plain Buttermilk Pancakes served with Vermont maple syrup, along with dishes like Dr. Glenn's Scramble — farm-fresh eggs, bone-in ham, Wisconsin cheddar, and sautéed vegetables. Service is attentive, and the kitchen has a reputation for consistent execution and accommodating allergies.
The Infatuation scored it 7.6/10, and it's known around the city as a place worth the wait.
