    This is my best friend and I’s FAVORITE spot for breakfast, lunch, and brunch. (We can’t wait to try their Smash Burger evening weekend events as well). Everything on the menu is SO good and I mean that literally. Never disappointed. The staff is so friendly and attentive. The owners are lovely. The lattes are delicious! We come here so often because we can’t get enough. Also their recipes are just so good and they make so much from scratch! Support your local small business! ❤️

    Food with great potential marred by poor service. The meal I personally had was great with the lime crema, potatoes, and delicious chorizo. However I can't say the same for my son and wife's meal. They delivered a half cooked pancake for my son and then took a literal 15 minutes to replace it. My wife's eggs were undercooked and not edible - there was also hair in my food (still ate it though). It took almost 15 minutes from the time that we sat down till we ordered drinks, and then another 20 minutes till our food was delivered. We saw our waiter maybe 3 times in total. It's sad because I wanted to like this place but not the experience I wanted for a $90 breakfast.

    I was recommended to go here by a friend, and I had a great experience eating here! I loved that latte menu and how each one is named after a celebrity. Then to my surprise, the latte came out with their face on it! The food was fantastic as well, and a bigger portion than I expected for such a place so I almost didn't finish it. Will definitely be coming back soon, that brisket breakfast burrito was amazing!

    I've dined here twice now, and both have been great experiences. First, the staff is Very Friendly! They are all friendly and accommodating; to me and my small dog. The food and drinks were great both times, and I will definitely return soon!

    Waitstaff :Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. Location: Clean, cozy and and festive. The red tree inside was the highlight for me. If you didn't know there my favorite color Parking: Paid parking in the back. Please note the 1st hour is free Items ordered: Horchata vanilla Latte with Kevin Hart face! This is amazing item. You can even submit a picture and have it added on top Papas Con Chorizo : Excellent! Fried Chicken Lemon Velvet Waffles : Incredible! Looking for a delicious breakfast that will satisfy your cravings? Look no further. Their signature chicken and waffles are the perfect combination of savory and sweet, with crispy fried chicken nestled on top of fluffy heart waffles drizzled with blackberry syrup, topped with Ube whip cream . The Papa con chorizo egg scrambler is loaded with cheese, chorizo, eggs ( egg whites) over perfectly seasoned potatoes. Delicious breakfast will leave you feeling satisfied

    Amazing breakfast and huge portions for a great price. We went a bit overboard and got the side pancake as well on top of main course for breakfast. Super delicious and the Chris Hemsworth Celebralatte was delicious! 😉 Amber B was so nice and polite, recommending her favorite dishes and checked up on us to make sure we had everything. Thank you Red Maple Cafe, we will be back.

    The staff here have my highest respect!! First of all, the food we had was magnificent. One of the best in Burbank area!! Dog-friendly cafe too!! The one thing that really got me thinking of going back for sure was the quality of service the servers provided. They were very hospitable, helpful, kind, interactive & understanding. I COULDN’T THANK THEM ENOUGH. 100% will come back. Oh one more thing, tik tok latte was a very good alternative for a birthday cake.

    My drink is the Tom Holland (Dark Chocolate) and the Brisket Burger with the Kale salad on the side. Food and drinks were extremely good. The kale has a vinaigrette almonds and cranberries so it cuts off the bitterness from the kale so it was really good. Our server was Blake. Really nice gentleman. He gave me the food and beverage recommendations and I couldn't be happier with what I ordered.

    Absolutely blown away by the breakfast burrito here (house breakfast burrito & added bacon). The food is so incredibly fresh and full of flavor. First time visiting and will definitely be back. Saw another customer order some belgian waffles that were real cute shaped and likely as delicious as they looked. The wait to be seated was not very long, but the place is a bit crowded. Service is okay. Definitely recommended.

    A friend and I had lunch there the food was delicious actually we had a very large burrito that we split with french fries which were delicious. The service was excellent. I also like the fact that they had a pow table set up. I've added some pictures of the table.

    I met friends for Lunch today. The menu is gigantic so review before you go. They have breakfast all day, lunch, tons of specials, huge coffee menu and alcohol. I found that the food sizes were really inconsistent. One friend ordered the poke bowl but it was tiny like an appetizer. Meanwhile, the sandwiches and breakfast meals were huge, the mac and cheese was small and all the salads seemed small. While the sandwiches looked good, I think the breakfast is a good choice. I got the Ube pancakes and they were great! I like the mix of traditional and unusual options and see them as a competitor to BeaBea's down the street. I wasn't a huge fan of the coffee but still drank two huge mugs lol. Parking validation for 1 hour and then $1/20min following, cash only.

    Mediocre. Definitely not worth waiting a while to get in. Food was average at best, good 10+ minutes before a waiter got close enough after food drop off before we could ask for syrup for the now lukewarm waffle.

    This cafe totally made a great start of my day. But I TOTALLY recommend it for ALL DAY RECHARGING. The vibe here is very nice and refreshing, especially in the morning. It’s not hot at all. You can enjoy both inside and outside seatings. The area is pretty quiet and clean. With all those, people here make it even better! I’m sure it’s gonna be a great RECHARGE because you get caloric energy from delicious food and you get positive energy from service here. If you prefer sandwich, they also have their sister restaurant right opposite the street that does sandwiches too. I had: fried chicken waffle ahi poke bowl brisket green onion waffle chicken tinga tostada sakura matcha latte TikTok tea latte cochata A little bit about “TikTok tea latte” because it’s my favorite tea of all time. Basically, it smells really good and tastes EXTREMELY good. Like.. a bit herbal, a bit sweet, a bit flowery, basically a little bit of everything but it’s EXTREMELY good. Food are actually very tasty. I could have spent another piece of essay describing how good each of them were - but cut it, they’re perfectly seasoned and cooked, with fresh ingredients. IMO chicken waffle is especially unique and I’d say it’s a must try. Parking: I found a few spaces on Maple St. Decent free street parking in the morning.

    Came here just before our studio tour of the Warner Brothers lot. Place was nice, quaint, and unique. The menu had many choices to choose from and plenty of health choices. I had the Breakfast Sandwich, scrambled eggs w/ bacon (which was sooo freakin good) and potatoes. So yummy and the aioli they put on it was great. My wife had the French Toast, and I of course had to sample for quality insurance, it was delish. She also ordered a 'Celebralatte' with a celebrity face on it, ended up getting the Scarlet Johansson (Salted Caramel), this was a good drink not for me though not a fan of salted caramel. Eitherway the service was great, fast, and the food was great. Would come here again if I ever come to California again. Thank you for the great service, and even better food.

    Exceptionally good food, the chicken and waffles was off the charts, totally different flavor profiles from the norm and the blackberry cream is insane but works so well. Best coffee I’ve had in the valley with a picture of Prince on top as a bonus. This place deserves your business.

    What a great restaurant! I was so glad I finally got to come here for brunch. The service was excellent. Brian was our server and was so helpful. I truly appreciate his helpfulness and support trying to get my order in. The place was packed. I ordered the 3 egg omelette with turkey bacon, Mexican cheese and avocado. Delish. They have an excellent selection of celebrity coffees. I got the Chris Hemsworth and they put Melissa McCarthy on it for me from the little mermaid. My friend ordered the Miley Cyrus. Funny it wasn’t planned that I would order her ex brother-in-laws coffee. Oh and the watermelon with mint is delicious too. Anyway my new favorite neighborhood restaurant. So glad you’re here.

    Very friendly and knowledgeable staff the food was good and presentation very nice but I was not impressed with the brisket. Now my judgment is based on some of the best brisket out of places in Texas. The food was good but my expectations were too high to compare to Texas brisket

  • 5/5 Ya-Nan C. 2 months ago on Google • 27 reviews New
    Our most frequently visited community restaurant for the past 5 years! Every visit has been a refreshing and joyful experience! You can tell all the staff put their heart into providing the best dining experience. The food is delicious and made of quality ingredients, satisfying people with different palates and diets, including vegan and gluten-free options. Red Maple excels at numerous aspects: the menu design, fresh ingredients, skilled chefs, restaurant and kitchen management, owner and staff friendliness, positive vibe, and interior design. New restaurants come and go while Red Maple remains the favorite of everyone we introduced to, including friends and families from out of town! Free parking on the back lot on weekends.

    Been wanting to here since we moved several months ago, and it proved delightful! My favorite breakfast place in LA (so far). My only minor complaint is that the ube pancakes (which were otherwise fantastic!) were very dry. The brisket breakfast burrito was extremely good, especially the green sauce that comes with it!

  • 5/5 Cem E. 10 months ago on Google
    Red Maple was the first place I ever had lunch in LA and it stuck with me. Good people, good environment, amazing food! Can’t imagine anyone having a bad time here.

  • 1/5 Jasmine D. T. 8 months ago on Google
    Sub par food- that would be worth it if the service was great. Unfortunately, sub par food and bad service makes for the perfect disaster. My daughter doesn't eat peppers or onions and so sent the potatoes back - a rushed service person slammed plate down after Re-making. Then re-made with peppers and so instead of sending back again she just sat and picked the peppers out. Needless to say though everyone saw her picking out the peppers and nobody cared. We are from Colorado and can't wait to be home because so far we've not had great service in California restaurants.

    We happened to come across this amazing restaurant while we were on vacation and oh my goodness, it was fantastic! Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for a new breakfast/brunch spot.

  • 5/5 Jinjer H. 10 months ago on Google
    Papas con chorizo and Taylor Swift Rose Vanilla celebralatte were delicious. Service was excellent. Place was PACKED on Sunday so very noisy, but our food came out quickly and was so good it didn’t matter. My friend said her chilaquiles were the best she’d ever had.

    Had breakfast here randomly one Sunday and was not disappointed! For starters, the menu is vast and initially it’s overwhelming because almost everything sounds good! We came just after the breakfast/brunch rush (around 2pm) and we were immediately sat aka this is the secret to dining here because we’ve been told the wait can be up to 2 hours. I am an avid French toast appreciater so I had to try the flavors of the lemon ricotta French toast and they were amazing! A non typical flavor profile but worth every calorie lol. I also ordered my typical green tea matcha latte and it wasn’t the best I’ve had but enjoyable. We also tried the ube pancakes and the breakfast quesadilla! The quesadilla was delicious, hearty and very filling on its own. I enjoyed the guava paste or whatever it was tucked in between the pancakes but they weren’t packed with flavor like I anticipated. We had them in Hawaii on the big island and they were, “richer” for lack of a better way to explain it. The ambiance of the place was very festive and inviting despite a very intimate dining area. We happen to meet the owners when we were there and that was a pleasant yet perfect surprise. I enjoy dining at boutique/small business establishments and to talk to the owners directly about their vision for the menu and future openings for dinner was perfect!
