Lonely Planet review for Sweet Maple Cafe
The creaking floorboards, matronly staff and soulful home cookin’ lend the Sweet Maple Cafe the bucolic appeal of a Southern roadside diner. The signature dishes – inch-thick banana (or, seasonally, peaches and cream) pancakes, cheddar grits and fluffy, freshly baked biscuits that come smothered in spicy sausage gravy or as a part of a fried ‘Chick’n Egg and Cheeser’ – earn the superlatives of locals, but the egg dishes, sturdy muffins and lunch sandwiches are done with equal aplomb. If you only have time for one breakfast in the city, this is the place.
