Reviews of Maplewood Kitchen and Bar (Coffee Shop)

Kayla Kimble

You must try the cold-pressed OJ, and the steak bistro is the right choice. One of my favorite brunch spots in the city. The staff are always friendly and attentive. You will not be disappointed

Guillermo Ferrusca

Food and service is amazing!!!!!! Was in Cincinnati for the weekend and went for breakfast two days in a row! Chicken Tinga and pancakes I highly recommend!!! Wish I had more time to try more of their delicious food!!

Keith Yoder

Absolutely amazing food. The pancakes and steak and eggs are the way to go. Great atmosphere as well. Overall, the place is well-run and you feel very welcomed there.

Chris Madsen

We were in town for Eric Church this past weekend. This place has the best breakfast I’ve had in a long time. Everything was super fresh and tasted great! I’ll definitely come here again on our next visit. Please bring a Maplewood Kitchen and Bar to Indianapolis!!

Elizabeth Shaughnessy

The food was brought out quickly and efficiently, and was cooked to perfection! Loved it! Definitely within my top three restaurants.

Valerie Cornist

A chill place with good music and great Old Fashions with Makers! I stop in from time to time after work for happy hour. I am about to see 60 and it is a great place for all ages!!

Demetris Lewis

Great service. Excellent food. Awesome ambiance.

Zella H

Wait was a bit long, but the food was good, prices reasonable, and the staff helpful and polite.

Simon Campbell

Great for healthy food, a morning coffee or evening drink. Happy hour is a steal! The team are super friendly.

Praneeta Lakkapragada

A modern brunch place with new American cuisine. The food is delicious and very flavourful. There are no meat options and they taste good. They have good cocktail menu too. The service is good. The ambience is great with modern design and ample natural light.

Addie van Lier

Good food! A bit overpriced but enjoyable atmosphere.

Maya Angelou once said, "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Overall, my experience was okay. I went this morning to eat breakfast and work while I waited for my room at The Cincinnatian to be ready. Overall the food was pretty tasty and the employees were great but the manager/owner?? was passively RUDE! From his glares of disgust (I guess I occupied space for to long) to his passing by with eye rolls. He never once asked if I enjoyed the food, would I like more coffee, etc. His only stare indicated that I should leave. Unfortunately, you should never judge a book by it's cover because this encounter alone (no matter how everything else went) encourages me to never return and to send the same message to my colleagues and friends. In spite of all the positive vibes, his was a lasting impression because ultimately, you're the person in charge. You set the tone and you should never negate a person based on appearance or assumptions. Their influence can be gold or tarnish your business. I encourage others to visit because the employees made the experience worth it. But as for you Mr. Manager (or whatever your title is), take heed because you never know the company your are entertaining.

Business Brunch - Amazing Power Bowl and coffee that was good for my brain.

Julie Beall

I love this place!! The atmosphere is cheerful. The mimosa choices are unique and quite good. They have lots of healthy choices on the menu too. Parking can be a challenge but they have valet. A definite breakfast or lunch choice if you are in town.

Location: Downtown Cincinnati. Street parking is available but metered. It doesn't look like parking is really a problem around here but it wasn't quite 10 a.m. when I went so it may be a different story later in the day. The place: Pretty big, lots of wood - reminds me of a country kitchen. They've got booths, regular tables and a bar. Great music - none of this generic radio nonsense. If I was in town for work, I could see myself working here - very chill vibe. The goods: So, after eating my face off at Jeff Ruby's the previous night, it was mind boggling that I woke up starving. I'm still trying to figure out how this is even possible! I went for the Eggs Your Way that included 3 eggs, toast (rye, I think), hash and bacon (or sausage or something called guetta - I may be spelling that wrong). First of all, my plate was huge. I mean, this could be two breakfasts for me. Th bacon was crispy as I requested and it was fantastic - for someone who rarely eats meat, if ever, I can't explain why I'd been craving bacon for like, 3 weeks. It's not because my body's short on fat. Anyway, the hash was great - nice and crispy on the outside but not at all dry on the inside. The eggs were good but they were borderline cold which led me to wonder if they make a batch of scrambled eggs in advance. The coffee was good, though not as strong as I'd like. The green juice is awesome! Service: Great - the fellow who took my order was really nice and friendly, and told me where his favourite murals were after I told him I did street art photography. Very cool! Price point: It's a little steep. The main was $12 - which would be more OK if the coffee was included in the price (2.50 for filtered coffee). The green juice is $8 which is also a tad steep. All of that said, I really liked the place and the food - and I should have checked the price of the green juice before ordering!

Charity Wisecarver

Amazing food. Went to Cincinnati for the weekend and ate here on Saturday for dinner and Sunday for brunch. I had the chicken club the first visit and chicken tinga for the second. Everything was delicious and all of the workers were so nice and helpful. Will definitely go here again, if I am anywhere near Cincinnati.

Amanda Miller

Friends us here for breakfast. Amazed to find a breakfast place downtown, and open on the weekend. Had the spinach, tomato Benedict with a side of bacon and hash browns. So much food. Soo tasty. Watch out as I hear it gets really busy on game days. Good for business or casual..

Samurai Jack

This place has great food. It is downtown so finding parking in the street can be interesting. There is a parking garage across from the building. So if you are willing to pay it's in a great location. The set up is cafeteria style. You order first at the counter then they give you a token. After you find your seat they will bring your food. The soda and water is self serve. I like to drink a lot so I did not mind. I thought the food was great though. The wife and our friends loved it too. I got the Carne Asda bowl. The meat was great but there was not much of it. The only thing I did not like is that the receipt had a line for tips. I don't want to feel obligated to tip of there is no server. Hope the review helps!

Mark Koeppen

Not a very pleasant greeting and never madebit theough libe as menu was not very appealing

Brandon Ellerbusch

I recently visited Maplewood for the first time and was very impressed with the offerings. The food was incredibly fresh and flavorful. I ordered the power bowl and super green juice. It was exactly what I was looking for. A filling meal, but not too heavy. The ordering process was less than enjoyable for me. I understand that it allows them to turn over tables much more quickly, but at this price point, it would be nice to have more interaction from the servers. We were told they would check in with us at the table, but I believe that only happened once after we had received our food. Still a very enjoyable experience, with fantastic food. I will definitely be returning.

Shanel Samuel

Maplewood is pricey but it is worth it! The food is delicious. Be prepared, the line to order gets long but the food comes out quickly once you sit down. They have lots of healthy options but there is truly something for everyone. The decor is spectacular inside. Parking is convenient as there is on street or a garage right across the street. Mimosas made with their juices are a yummy and delicious twist on the traditional variation.

Don Malnati

Very nice place! Friendly service, large comfortable space with nice music. I ate at the bar and took my time while penning journal entries for a report. The salmon entree was excellent, and so was the uninterrupted time to focus. Healthy, tasty menu!

Alex Cross

This was an absolutely delicious place to grab some breakfast. I was able to try the lemon ricotta pancakes, which were absolutely amazing and their chicken tinga, again delicious. The atmosphere with the place is very nice and they had a nicely sized menu with plenty of variety. Overall, I would definitely come back!

Jennifer Flewelling

This place is delightful! I loved eating my healthy, delicious food in the beautiful decor. The staff were helpful as I had never been. It was quiet at 5:00 pm on a Saturday night so that was nice. I took my 7 year old son and he loved the fries. It was a welcome break from eating fast food on our trip to Cinnicinati. Highly recommend!

Melissa Smith

The food has always been amazing, however, lunch today was not a good experience. First, the service was very very slow. Second, we both ordered the same salad but we didn’t get the same ingredients and they put the wrong dressing on. So needles to say, we had to send back and the wait was even longer.

May Campbell

I was surprised by this place. It is set up like fast food where you order at the counter and there's only a few choices of food items. I expected something mediocre but WOW all the vegetables were so fresh, the egg perfectly cooked on top and the entire dish was seasoned like a five star restaurant. I have no complaints here.

Miles Bowden

Mimbi Seckman

Maplewood was around the corner from our hotel, and recommended by some fellow guests who had enjoyed it. They had an insider tip: bypass the line by asking the host if seats are available at the bar. We planned to enjoy cocktails with our Sunday brunch, and, lo and behold, there were available seats at the bar, no waiting in the very long line.

Julie Stepp

Really like the atmosphere and music. Music was a touch loud for trying to have a conversation but it was unique. Food and drink presentation was impressive. We sat at the bar. Did not love our bartender on 7/30 - he was not very attentive or friendly. He got the job done but it certainly wasn’t service with a smile. The bus boy was far more friendly. Food was tasty and nice variety on the plate. Breakfast/brunch all day are options too. The rotisserie chicken was over cooked and quite tough.

Anne Welling

When you go in, you go through a line - and order & pay & tip at the register. Then they give you a buzzer device to take to your table. They bring the food out to you. And from there the staff gives you table service. ... Very odd design. Cheapened the overall experience & ambiance. However I can see this place doing well with business lunch crowd and perhaps brunch as well. ... The food was well made. I had the house veggie burger. The patty was flavorful and dense - though small in diameter. ... The menu has very few entrees to choose from at dinner. Again - seems better for brunch and lunch. The brunch menu looked fantastic. But considering the ordering experience was awkward - I'm not going back.

Luke Saunders

Amazing food and friendly service. You order and the counter and you’ll be given a seat before your food comes up. If you’re thinking of visiting on a busy day, you’ll be waiting in line for about 20 minutes or so. There will be menus hanging on your left once you get closer to the counter. Once seated we waited less than 10 minutes for our food to come out. Would 100% recommend this place!

Michael Ludke

Food was good, service was marginal at best. I was served a Bloody Mary that has celery that I wouldn't serve to anyone. I put the celery on the bar and the server was put off. I felt like asking if she would have consumed it.

Freedman Boultons

The Maplewood Kitchen & Bar was a great visit. Different set-up, you walk in and order your food cafeteria style and then you go sit down. We've done this before but this place does not have the look and feel of that type of restaurant. They do have a bar that you can have drinks and also order your food from a bartender. Service is very friendly. Food is good. Drinks are good. They have a nice selection of wines as well craft beers on tap.

Jim Burmeister

Good food, long wait and deceptive pricing. Really cool vibe, tasty food Sat at the bar and waited 30 minutes after we ordered for a Cobb Salad and a Grilled Cheese sandwich. Ordered a Rhienheist Truth IPA, which was priced at $6.00 on the sign board by the bar. Was charged $7.00 on my tab. Mentioned it to the server, who checked with manager. Manager told them to take the sign down and did not honor the advertised price (nor did he offer an apology to me). When you spend $40.00 for a grilled cheese and salad, you would think they would try to do the right thing over $1.00. Hope the $1.00 was worth not getting 5 stars on a Google review and a Trip Advisor review.

Daniel Carson

Be prepared for a long line for brunch on the weekend, although they do their best to serve drinks ahead of time while you wait in line. You order at the counter and then are seated. Brunch here was phenomenal.

Caroline Barnes

I love the concept of this place so much. We had a group of 8 at their busiest time and they sat us no problem. Amazing food and very fast, friendly service. Wish there was a location in Louisville!

Ashley Kiilu

Great experience. I loved the food, the atmosphere and the staff. I love the concept of this cafe. Order at the counter, get your drinks, sit down at a table and the food is brought to you. However, after you sit down staff is attentive but not overbearing and frequently checks if you need anything, including refills. So while it is a bit like a cafeteria in that you order at the counter it is like a traditional restaurant in that your food is brought to your table and wait staff provides refills and any additional needs.

Mrunal Patel

Great food, little expensive but definitely worth it. Probably the best hash browns I've ever had

Vishal Gupta

All Fresh Food, nice ambient. Food Portions are well sized. Plenty of Vegetarian & Vegan Option, but same time Meat lovers will not have complains.

Monique White

First time customer and my experience was exceptional. The food and service was great. My friend recommended the steak and eggs and it was the best I've had.

John Bridgwater

Fun atmosphere, right in the heart of downtown.

matt risley

The menu is full of delicious food, but I order the same thing every time. Their breakfast sandwich is the one to rule them all. This is to say it is so darn good that I don't consider any alternatives. Oh, and the corn flake cookie is delightful. Get one and share it with someone you love. Also, line is to the door by noon most days. Get there at 11:30 if you want to order, sit down, and have amazing food in your mouth in minutes.

Pat Baumgartner

Very good food. Healthy options, reasonably priced for City.

Eric Tawney

Fabulous atmosphere, staff and food! The beer selection was pretty awesome too. Next time I'm in Cincinnati, I'm headed back.

Harold Betancourt

Brunch was amazing. Start with super fresh healthy ingredients, cooked to order (the bacon was super thick and they did not skimp), and throw in some really well made alcoholic beverages and you have a recipe for success. That's why the line goes out the door in the morning on weekends. So get there early or just wait in line, cause it's worth it!

Gilat Weiman

great ambiance decor service and food. healthy options fresh pressed juice avocado toast and all day breakfast

Angela Walling

Food interesting and flavorful- had the hummus Sat at bar - two days in a row. Service at the bar is indifferent.. not friendly. They don’t seem to like each other or the customers. It creates a weird vibe - Cincinnati location

Gastronomia Francesa

Went on Sunday March the 3rd at 10:30 AM and it was a mess. You could not seat at the table until you made an order. We did it and the server was rude and told us to move. And when you order was done, no place to seat or to wait at the bar... No sense at all. Everyone waiting, the waitresses not finding the customer and doing all the restaurant with plates... If you order beverage like soda, coffee, ... you have to go to get up and do the line and refill your self. If you want to order something else like another croissant you have to do again the entire line, about 20 minutes... insane!!! For the pancakes they give you a meat knife lol Will not return again and will not recommend at all. Overpriced for beverage that you have to serve yourself.

Aileen Acevedo

This plavevis really good. The food is delicious and the service was on point.

Emily Crist

Get here early it gets busy fast

Jerry Richardson

Ummm... I was just a little underwhelmed by the food,especially for the price. Maybe it's what I chose. Not sure. No one at the table was too impressed though. There were three of us and the bill was over 40 dollars. For breakfast. If the food would have blown us away, it would have been fine but it didn't. Also, the ordering/seating situation was a bit confusing and not explained by the greeter at the door. This would have been very helpful as it caused confusion with not only us but everyone around us as well. Environment was very nice but I wouldn't recomend. It's not for lack of trying on the staff's part though. Just not my cup of Joe.

Amanda Smith

Very nice place. Great atmosphere and drinks are reasonably priced.. You must try it out you won't regret it.

Calvin McDaniel

Delicious food (lemon ricotta pancakes, avocado Benedict, eggs your way, and Pastel Omelette), boozy mimosas (especially the Sol Glo), and good service. Parking can be tricky but there's a garage right behind/next to the restaurant. The decor is also really cool and vibrant.

Frank Lee

Upscale casual dining done well! You place your order at the counter then find a table and the food will be brought to you. The self serve water station includes your choice of regular or bubbly along with lemon wedges! The food was fresh, flavourful, and well presented. My steak (and eggs) was perfectly prepared and had a wonderful char. Good selection of fresh juices and desserts also available. The line ups to order could get long during peak periods.

Sheila Johnson

My husband and I were trying to find a good place for breakfast downtown Cincinnati. We stopped in here and I'm glad we did! The food was great. I had the blueberry granola pancakes and a caffe latte. Also a side of bacon... because why not! The atmosphere is really neat too. I will definitely be back here next time we are in town.

Clevie Logan

Location - (5/5) : Immediately downtown Cincinnati where we were seated at the window with a wonderful to people watch. The interior styling was so incredible and felt almost like home. My sis described the bathroom as the nicest she had ever used lol.Atmosphere - (5/5) : This place is just hip and cool. Young people were getting their Sunday mimosa-filled brunch however while large families were seated together enjoying their meals in peace. Excellent atmosphere.

Rhonda Barnett

This place was fantastic! Spacious and clean. Staff were super. Food was excellent. I'll go back again!

Andy Stuckey

Really long line, but food comes out super quick. I had the breakfast sandwich and my wife had the avocado benedict; we both really enjoyed what we had. If you have time to spare, I'd recommend stopping by.

MEGAN LOHR

Didn't know i loved grilled artichoke. I know now. And lots more. This place was amazing and unique. Try the falafel for sure.

Jayce Foltz

Do not recommend at this time. Used to be a great place for breakfast. Last three times thay haven't been able to get a simple hard scrambled eggs right. Food is good when correct but agreivivating when simple things aren't right.

Srushti Parsana

Amazing place in Downtown Cincinnati with good ambience and good food & drink options Tried the Everything Toast which was very nice and had a little more salt than I would prefer but was delicious. French fries with aioli were also nice. Cold pressed juices were fresh and nice. Must try

Ryan McNeely

A really nicely designed restaurant. The food is good but personally I feel the price is a little high for what you get. Also there has not been one thing that I have gotten that I feel I have to rush back there for. I keep trying but still have the same take away when I am done.

Sara Leijon

Very nice atmosphere! We got the cucumber sangria, which I was skeptical to at first, but ended of loving. Food was nice, too

Mark GARZA

highly recommend even with a long wait. everything people had was amazing

Marvin Perez

Great food and great service for breakfast, lunch or dinner. I recommend their blueberry granola pancakes and the hamburger. There was a fast-moving line one morning; the other two times it was not crowded. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Hank Holevinsky

Wow! Absolutely wonderful! Food was Superb! Service was top shelf! Highly recommended!!

Lindsay Grimm

Ate here, last year, as I was passing through town, and decided to return for another visit this year. Good food at a descent downtown price. Nice service, and fresh options. Unique, healthier spins on comfort foods. I will be back upon my return, in 2020, if not before.

Paul Lobue

Nice place, excellent atmosphere, bottled water is WAY WAY too pricey ... But food was OUTSTANDING!

Amanda Maley Ohlenkamp

Brunch and lunch venue with different options. Everything I have eaten there - the chicken hash, the quinoa cakes has been unique and delicious - nice to not have the same taste you see at a general breakfast place. They also have excellent house made juices.

Sarah McBride

Hands down best spot for a quick bite downtown. Clean, local food at a great price!! Definitely grab something from the coffee bar while you’re there.

Hasan Nawab

Worst place ever. Went there just now for my birthday dinner, sadly picked this place over any other in the town. Ordered an appetizer and a drink with a friend waited over 45 mins, finally went to the counter and asked for a refund to leave. Others came and left our food and drink never made it to us. The guy did not even had the audacity to apologize for the situation or offer any resolution. Place was not even busy. Highly disappointed and would make sure I convey my dissatisfaction within my social circle

Pat Marcus

Julia Key

My friend and I ordered off their brunch menu during dinner hours, which was very exciting to us. It's a really nice space with an upscale atmosphere, but still casual. The servers were all really nice. I got the breakfast sandwich, which I found pretty substantial considering the price. The fries and aioli were very good as well.

Tamar Chapman

This was my first time at this restaurant. I've always wanted to try it. The service was great and we didn't have to wait long. I decided to have the Maplewood Burger and fries with aioli. I will definitely have this meal again.

Jason Stewart

Trendy little brunch place downtown. They definitely push for it to be healthy. Don’t be surprised by the made to order style when you walk in. Food was pretty good, my health freak wife loved it.

cdnichols51

I got the Maplewood burger. It was good, above average but not great. Fries were the same. Everyone seemed to really like the food. Prices are a little above average for the food and the amount of food you get.

Damien Todd

I can honestly say that the Maple Burger was one of the best burgers ive ever had...just absolutely delicious!! I had a latte the previous visit which was high quality and very pleasant. I also had the Steak breakfast...very different flavors on the steak than just getting a basic steak. It was very good along with the rest of the breakfast. They can COOK at this restaurant!! Great seating arrangment and order style. I like this place alot!!

Bree Michelle

There are very few places I visit and can smell the great aroma from the kitchen as soon as the door opens. The staff were patient, warm and welcoming everyone had smiles on their faces. The staff also greets everyone they come across. My meal was delicious, I had the bistro steak and eggs. The fresh fruit juice blends are amazing.

Paula Flynn

The Maplewood Kitchen & Bar was a great visit. Different set-up, you walk in and order your food cafeteria style and then you go sit down. We've done this before but this place does not have the look and feel of that type of restaurant. They do have a bar that you can have drinks and also order your food from a bartender. Service is very friendly. Food is good. Drinks are good. They have a nice selection of wines as well craft beers on tap. we sat at the bar for dinner and watching the bartenders work you could tell they are good at make the craft cocktails as well. Overall I thought the food, drink and service were all really good. The ambiance was okay.

Naveen Arra

It was a very odd ordering experience. We pay first and they expect a Tip even before any service has been provided. We have to stand in line to order your food which can be a good 20 mins during lunch time and we get water/drinks ourselves including refills. I wonder what is the tip for? Other than that, the food is expensive and not all that great in taste or quantity. The only thing I liked there was ambiance.

PJ Frederick

Maplewood Kitchen and Bar, a delightful place that makes every meal feel like Sunday brunch. Walk into the clean and suspiciously uncrowded venue and take a seat at the bar. You'll be greeted by the warm and knowledge bartender who's friendly persona will have the narcist in you quickly convince they're totally into you. Start with the avocado toast, a wonderfully delicious way to remind you we're all basic on the inside. Next up is the salmon, which is also quite delectable. Well cooked and fished directly from the currently flooded streets of downtown Cincinnati. It's light pink color is a beautiful blend of Bengals orange and reds red. This healthy meal is delivered by a seemingly endless supply of waiters and waitresses who will pop up out of nowhere and startle you into your next course. It is a light choice that may not fill you up but definitely helps ease your troubled mind and bowels after eating an entire box of snowcaps after lunch just because.

Alina M.

I only came here for drinks before dinner one night but had a nice experience. It wasn't too crowded around 6:30pm, especially considering that Hamilton was in Cincinnati that weekend. I really love the decor and the vibe here and the bartenders were super nice. I got the Blackberry Lemonade as my drink, it's very photogenic (as you can see) and tasted great. Would have been good with a little more lemon flavor but awesome nonetheless. Hope to come back here one day for dinner or brunch!

Jessica Sawrie

Absolutely love this place. Will be a routine visit when I am in town.

Michael Bigio

First time in Cincinnati. Ate there last night and again today for lunch. Excellent food, super friendly service, very nice atmosphere, quite full at lunch time, so evidently a popular downtown eatery. It was recommended by our Uber driver and the hotel clerks. Moderately priced and worth every penny! And the coffee is great, too!

Naci Pelis

Not a huge fan of having to order food and drinks separately, but the prices were not bad at all (good happy hour) and its beautifully decorated! The food was filling and delicious, and the drinks were good! Chill music playing in the background, and not super busy when I went (came in with a large group and they were able to accommodate us immediately). Would definitely recommend a visit.

Paige Smith

Robyn P

Very good! I got steak and eggs. They were excellent!

She'An Gilliam

Good food. However, the food was not hot and the service is "way different"! We ordered somewhat a plethora of items; amongst such was the pancakes (which has nuts and such wasn't stated...to our knowledge, and I am ALLERGIC), bacon, and hash!

Justin Remmell

The Maplewood burger is always great with the aioli. The shoestring fries were delicious as usual though were a bit cold and sparse this time. The service members are prompt and kind every time. Definitely a place to visit.

Marijane Klug

If there was a no star option I would of picked it. I’ve been to this restaurant several times. My daughter likes their food. Today we went around 2 pm. We ordered and our food came in about ten minutes. My food had a metal shaving over an inch long in it. I took it back to the counter with the metal shaving and was told by a worker they would remake it and bring it back out. My daughters salad was suppose to have chicken in it but it didn’t come with the chicken. A manager came out and apologized for the metal shaving and said he would give us our money back, which he did. He also said my food would be right out. Over twenty minutes past and I still hadn’t received my food. Mind you there are only handful of people in the restaurant and it’s not busy at all. Another worker finally asked if he could help us and I explained what happened and he went and got the manager again. This time the manager apologized again. I told him we couldn’t stay to eat because we had another place we had to get to. He asked if he could make it to go. I said fine. We waited another 10 minutes and a worker brought me the order in a to go bag. When I checked it, the order was wrong. I motioned for the manager and let him know the order was wrong and he could keep it. We were leaving. He gave us two coupons for two free meals and continued to apologize. I told him it wasn’t necessary because we were never coming back. You lost our business forever. I left hungry. I just don’t understand people’s lack of attention to customer service

Seun Awoniyi

Went there for breakfast Loved the food and restaurant. friendly staff and great service. Will definitely return whenever I am back in Cincinnati.

Mindy Black

The veggie burger and fries were delicious. My husband got the burger and really liked it too. We both had blackberry lemonade, which was very yummy. I wish I had room to try that ginormous lemon cookie. The atmospheremosphere was cheerful and inviting and the service was great!

Ang G

So, the cafeteria style ordering kind of threw us off a little. Self serve coffe and soda stations too. The food is delivered to your table and it's was all very good. Well, the veggie soup was not that great, but the salad and eggs your way were great. Lots to see and the decor is neat; eclectic. We sat at the window and ppl watched. It's was a nice break down 75. A.little on the pricey end for lunch but I think there happy hour specials.

Kathryn Steel

I wasn't expecting the format of this place, which could be hard to get used to. Trust me though, it's worth it. I had an asparagus-based Benedict, which was basically a plate of green, and I was skeptical, but it tasted absolutely amazing.

Pam Shlachtman

Great food - everything tastes fresh. The happy hour nachos and grilled cheese were delicious as well. Tasty cocktails.

Nina Gavric

had a delicious breakfast here while visiting Cincinnati. Food was fresh and portions are huge. The menu was not overwhelming. The blueberry granola pancakes were the best I had.

Genaro Quinn

Arrived to Cincinnati after a long trip and had dinner here. It didn’t take long for the food to arrive. Attractively presented, my burger was juicy and perfectly cooked and my salad was lovely. I liked the convenience of paying before eating, and menus are readily available as you walk in for your perusal. There are a variety of food choices. To sum up: classy, quick, and delicious.

Brandi Hayes

Friends us here for breakfast. Amazed to find a breakfast place downtown, and open on the weekend. Had the spinach, tomato Benedict with a side of bacon and hash browns. So much food. Soo tasty. Watch out as I hear it gets really busy on game days. Good for business or casual.

Rachel Strunk

Delicious food that you don't feel guilty eating! Even though it stays very busy, they get you your food pretty fast.

George Spaeth

Great place for brunch or dinner. The food is amazing, the service is great.

Jeremy Peters

The food was meh , service was fast, prices are high for what you get. I would not order the burger again, maybe med rare is different in Cincinnati, might have been the Phillies Jersey, who knows

Mollie Bell

Wonderful atmosphere. The falafel bowl was fantastic! The brainstorm coffee was something new for me, quite delicious. And who can resist such a beautiful mimosa?

Kirk Strasser

Maplewood is an easy 5-star choice! This place has my favorite brunch in Cincinnati. There is always a line out the door, but don’t worry, it somehow always moves quickly! To keep your thirst quenched while you wait, they have a gentleman selling mimosas; so delicious! When you get to the front of the line, you are then tempted by their many fresh desserts they have laying out....I’ve tried them all and they’re all exquisite. For my meal, I usually get the Bistro Steak & Eggs. I must say EVERY item on this plate is good. The steak is great, the eggs are perfectly cooked, the jam is sweet yet sour at the same time, and somehow even the hash browns taste better than any other hash browns I’ve ever had. I could not recommend this place enough!! Quick Note: The food here is a bit on the pricier side; be prepared to spend $15 on a single meal.

Ordering system adds alot of time to your dining experience. Don't be in a hurry. 10% of the population has Type 2 Diabetes, yet they have No sugar free syrup. They said "natural with no added sugar", but a Type 2 cant have that. Most pretentious place I"ve ever eaten. The only good thing was their coffee.

Good...but not worth the price

One of my favorite places to eat when going to Cincinnati Ohio. The staff is friendly and service always awesome as well as the food!

All of the food we ordered was incredible! I will go out of my way to come to Cincinnati just to visit this restaurant! Delicious steak, eggs, bacon, and pancakes!

Restaurant is in the heart of downtown Cinci. Food was really fresh and healthy however slightly over priced. I much preferred the regular Bloody Mary to the tomitillo one. We ordered the goddess green salad which was really light and crisp. My fiancé ordered the omelette made with fresh mushrooms and asparagus- he really enjoyed. He did not like the side salad as he felt it needed more dressing. He also ordered the Maplewood toast. I thought the toast was delicious however he felt there was too much toppings which made the bread soggy. The wait staff was very polite and friendly. Bathrooms could have been larger. The rose tea was fantastic. we also has a side of lemon ricotta pancakes. Those were delicious :)

Virginia Vega

Good food, nice people. Lemon pancakes and goetta are my go-to whenever in Cincy.

This place is so beautiful inside and out a must see in Cincinnati the place is elegant and chic cozy atmosphere the bartenders prepare your drinkrs the correct way floor to cilling windows great drink selection low lighting located in the heart of downtown I really love this place wish it was more stars to give this establishment

Morgan Feldman

Wonderful experience!! I flew solo with my three young children (6,4 & 1) for breakfast on Friday. The staff were super friendly, attentive and helpful. Plus, the food was delicious! They have an inexpensive children's menu that delivered great value with many of my kids favorites! We will be back!

R Spencer

The verdict is still being worked upon. My entree consisting of Spicy chicken salad was a tad bit dry. French fries were typical with a dash of extra salt. Lemonade was disappointing. My wife had the spinach omelet that looked tasty, she wouldn't share, so it must have been a winner. So I'd score this visit a 50/50, jump ball!

Amy Frampton

An absolutely wonderful experience! We were visiting from Canada and can honestly said it was one of the best breakfasts we have ever had! A great clean atmosphere and such delicious high quality food. The blueberry granola pancakes were top notch, the eggs were cooked perfectly and the bacon was incredible! Well done in creating such a great experience!

Audrey Clark

Stopped here before catching the bus to the airport. If we lived in Cincinnati this would be a regular visit for sure! Kinda pricey but very good food with good portion sizes. Had the Omega salad and it blew me away!

I ordered pick up yesterday , the lemon ricotta pancakes (kids size), scrambled eggs with white Vermont cheddar, along with hashbrowns. First I must say that you definitely get your moneys worth at Maplewood. The food comes in large portions. However sadly, the lemon ricotta pancakes did not live up to the hype they were dry and a little stale. The eggs and hashbrowns were delicious, especially the hashbrowns. I also got a brown sugar cookie that was awesome! But I really really really wanted to love the lemon ricotta pancakes because everyone raves about it online. Sadly I was disappointed. The customer service was amazing despite me coming in at the last minute! I would go back however I’d have to explore another option because those pancakes were not it!

I was able to enjoy a late afternoon meal that was out of the kitchen so fast I was only able to pour my coffee in it's station and return to my seat and I hear" you're pancakes" and etc. If you are staying at the hotel on the far side of this block after meetings, it's a safe distance to walk after a beverage. There is a nicely stock bar to the left of me. I was ravenous so the expeditious service was appreciated. Oh and if you LOVE bacon. You don't want to miss theirs!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Greg Lumb

Had a really enjoyable experience at Maplewood Kitchen. I had the egg plate which was amazing. The chives used on the eggs was really a great addition. Bacon was also very good. Ordering is a bit different. Done by ordering first at the register off the menu obtained when coming into the restaurant. The food is then brought to the table. If I could change anything it would be that someone is walking around with a coffee pot. As it is, you're going to the coffee station to refill. Overall though, my party all greatly enjoyed their meal and we had a wonderful experience.

Pranav Singhania

Brilliant ambience and decor, in Top 10 Yelp places to eat at in Cincinnati for a reason. Certainly didn't disappoint. Huge portions and really fantastic food. Perfect brunch place to down your food with Mimosas or coffee.

Louanne Hines

This restaurant is absolutely fabulous. The food and the service is excellent. Clean, nice atmosphere. Great, quality, clean eating. Wonderful management and staff. This restaurant in downtown Cincinnati is a must to dine. What a wonderful experience. Will definitely dine with them again and again. Thank you to all the people in Cincinnati’s downtown for how beautiful it is and to all of our police officers, firemen and to all who make it awesome.

Great interior decor, tasty food, and lively, energetic atmosphere!

Jessica Durham

Enjoyed breakfast. Lots of healthy options. Get there early because the line is usually out the door after 10:30am.

Michael Goldman

A light and airy space and creative and tasty offerings like blue cheese scrambled eggs and cashew cauliflower soup make this a delightful place to brunch!

Scott Eichhorst

The food was good the prices a little high. On top of that the parking price was high.

Rich Harwood

It's a nice counter serve restaurant with a more upscale interior. The menu is not huge but they have enough choices for anyone to find something. The food is very well done with fresh ingredients and interesting combinations of taste. The staff was friendly and service was fast considering all the food was freshly prepared.

If you’re breakfast people you have to go here. Parking is a nightmare but food is amazing. Do yourself a favor and stop by!

Angela Cummings

I really wanted a burger but they were all out. The grilled cheese was good but wasn't what I wanted so I'm not sure if it was just okay or my perception.

Sia Azari

Went there on a Sunday morning, there was a long wait and you had to stay in line and order up front. There was only one active cashier for a long time. The look of the place made it seem like it was upscale with good quality food but for the price you pay, the food was not really good and basically there was no service. They just brought you the food but coffee and water was self service. The sides and the drinks were expensive. I don’t recommend this place and will not go back.

Shannon Minchew

The set up is a little different, but food is wonderful!

Nyketa Mason

My only complaint was the wait! But it was a very busy weekend morning when we were there. Everything else was perfect! The servers were friendly and attentive. The food was delicious! I really enjoyed my meal and experience.

Shaun Wahle

Liked the ease of ordering and the overall concept. I had the breakfast sandwich with Goetta and some coffee. I need to ask again about my coffee to actually receive it but it was good. The sandwich was a little heavy and lots of bread but it was good!

Frazier Baker

One of the best burgers I've ever had. Everything feels like it came straight from the farm. Plus the decor is very modern. Its fairly priced and a place I intend on visiting again.

Alexander Allen

First time trying it. Thought it was great! Made the mistake of going on Easter so it was a bit busy, which we expected. Food was great, it was easy to navigate and the workers were friendly.

Greg Frimming

Great Veggie Burger, fries and I love the Pancakes

Ankit Goyal

Amazing ambience... perfect food. Not just insta good but tastes amazing too. Worth a visit... get ready for grand portions though!!

Bradley Jansen

This is one of the best breakfast places in all of Cincinnati. The space is airy and open yet hospitable and cozy with clever design. Wait time can get long on weekends but it’s worth the wait. The Fresh organic OJ is worth trying. Menu had a plethora of fine options with local and seasonal items rotating. Worth trying and going back again!

Hans Lehr

Went there on a busy morning for brunch. Food was outstanding, service was fast. Staff wasn’t overly friendly, but attentive nonetheless. Food was fairly priced. I would recommended for sure.

Mark Fayard

Great food, service and atmosphere. We're from out of town but found off street parking easy and close.

Seth Lounsbury

Ate breakfast here twice while in town on business. Both times got the breakfast sandwich. A definite go to next time I'm in town. Tried the hash browns also and they are just the right level of crisp exterior. Coffee is better than any other around.

Grayson Zhang

Good for brunch. A different kind of experience. First you stand in line to order and you can do so while enjoying a mimosa. Then you are seated and they run the food to you when ready. Very nice decor and the food was on point.

T Fay

Highly recommend! Food was delicious and the staff is very helpful and nice!

Thomas O'Hara

Amazing food. Chicken tikka is fabulous. Great fresh fruit and unlimited coffee. Highly recommend!

Mary McConnell

Good coffee sourcing and breakfast was yummy. I'm not a fan of paying $12 for an omelet but I get downtown prices...maybe. It's upscale "feeling" but with counter order service. I might try lunch here to check it out again.

Timothy Oliver

Fresh food. Great menu. Less guilt from eating out when eating here. It's a bit expensive (chopped salad with salmon $20). Creative menu items

Veronica Jones

Beautiful restaurant. A bit loud. There's a "cue" when you walk in that takes about 15-20 minutes to wait in to order your meal, if the restaurant is busy. Our food came out cold. The eggs were over cooked but cold and our drinks didn't come at all. We had to go and ask for it as we were finishing our breakfast. The taste of the food was strictly ok. The bacon waa tough and seemed precooked and slightly reheated, (not hot). The toast was tough on the edges. Over all meh.

David Crow

Good food, quick service even when crowded. Not too expensive. Definitely the modern brunch cliché, expect to find bacon everything and all of the avocados. Pretty good pancakes, although a little too sweet for my tastes.

John Mirka

Excellent food with healthy options. Very friendly service.

Jared Ray

Fantastic place for lunch. Power Bowl was excellent. Friendly service. Very trendy place, highly recommend!

Jen Smilg

Fun cocktails and fabulous food. Excellent presentation.

Gregory Garr

Love this place. Very nice and clean. Great food and staff. Friendly staff. Great environment and decorations. Food was very fresh and well prepared. Great choice for a different take on Cincinnati. A must stop. Over 20 craft brews on tap!

Warren Cantrell

Excellent food, service, and atmosphere. Very fresh ingredients and menu. Loved it!!

Armando Fernandez

This place was good. Amazing services. Great atmosphere. Food was good. Everything was well maintained.

Ruvim Boyko

I live in Lexington, but my wife and I make it a point to stop here any time we are in Cincinnati. Service can sometimes be slow when they are busy, but that is expected. Staff does a great job of making sure everyone is happy. Restrooms are also very nice.

Thomas Olthoff

Great food, pricey lunches.

Matt Wagner

I’ve enjoyed a meal at this restaurant on two occasions now and both times my experience has been good. The food is healthy and tasty. Even though very busy, the atmosphere is conducive to conversations. If it’s busy when you go, make sure you wait to be seated. They don’t like it when you save seats. It is handicapped accessible.

Tom Boyce

breakfast was ok, good ingredients and recipe but hash browns soggy, greasy?, not great especially for $18. Good espresso bar.

Elham Jafari

I liked my breakfast at this place, we have ordered Avocado Benedict and something else with Chicken. The Avocado Benedict was very small, I wish I knew at the beginning so that I could order something else on the side too. It wasn't bad but not that special either. The service was pretty good and very quick.
