Goat cheese omelette
Without any exaggeration, this is my absolute favorite 5 star brunch spot in town and have been a loyally obsessed customer since 2017. The menu has changed since and they have taken out a few of my favorite items however I would go in just for their hash browns, side salad, latte and perfect early morning ambiance.note: these are pictures taken throughout the years
We couldn't wait to get back to this eatery on our return to Cincy post covid. The environment was beautiful as always with trendy decor and spacious dining area. We LOVED their bloody mary's previously but this time unfortunately bland with no personal touch considering its their homemade recipe. We remembered a much more farm to table flavor/presentation both with this drink and food. The avocado toast was all that remained in flavor and satisfaction. Definitely hesitant to return. Service was still great with friendly staff and clean space.
Upon entering Maplewood, we were greeted by the nicest young man, Rob. He was super friendly and explained the ordering process to us, since this was our first visit. Everything was served hot and delicious. I loved their goetta; it was sliced just right with perfect thickness. The brainstorm coffee was excellent. However, the highlight of our breakfast was the Mimosa and Bloody Mary. This was the biggest Bloody Mary I'd ever seen and my Mimosa was served with an edible orchid. The edible orchid was a first for me, so I tried it. The manager, Tasha stopped by our table and chatted with us for several minutes. She was an absolute delight and I thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with her.
It was our first time here and we will definitely be back! We did wait for about 20-25 minutes to get to the counter and order (they do have menus to view while you wait and a good selection of music playing in the meantime). Then, we were assigned to our table and our food arrived pretty quickly! The food was definitely worth the wait! I had a burger and fries and my husband had pancakes, sausage links, toast squares, and scrambled eggs. It was delicious! We were full for about 12 hours after our meal!
The food and atmosphere was great here. We had the Chopped Salad, Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, Burger, and an Up Beet Juice, which were all fantastic. We came right around noon on a week day and the lunch rush was crazy! I definitely suggest coming a little early or a little late for lunch.
Wonderful place. Great friendly staff. It is not the typical restaurant style where you wait to get seated and pay after. You wait in line to order, then pay and find your own table. Depends on individual preference. If you're really hung up on only tipping after you've received that special service, you could always choose no tip and leave cash on the table.The atmosphere is awesome and we we're here on a Sunday morning About 15 minutes after they opened, as we were anticipating they'd be on a long wait later because of all the great reviews we saw, and the type of atmosphere and the location it's in. Every staff member that we interacted with we're very friendly and social.The food was very good. The coffee is not weighed down with sugar. You will not get your Starbucks Coffee here. This is a genuine coffee experience with milk options that's fresh.You can charge your phone here or if you need to get something done for work you can plug your laptop in here as most tables have plugs and there's plugs under the bar as well.
Yes there's likely to be a line. Yes you will probably wait at least 30 minutes. Yes I felt like it was worth the wait. Fresh food, great service, nice atmosphere. Loved the sweet greens drink.
Best best best brunch in the city! I recommend this place to all my friend coming in town. Their mimosa madness is my favorite, so much fun, and so affordable! You essentially get bottomless mimosas served with some of the best breakfast food around ! I wish there were more places like this for bunch
At the heart of downtown Cincinnati, Maplewood Kitchen dishes out a light California/Hamptons aesthetic along with delicious meals made from organic, fresh ingredients. You literally can’t go wrong with any dish on their menu. Although, my absolute favorite time of day to go to Maplewood is for brunch. The Chicken Tinga and Lemon Ricotta Pancakes are to die for!
