White Maple Café - American restaurant in Ridgewood - 47 E Ridgewood Ave, USA

Went for coffee and ended up having lunch. Ordered potato soup and chicken salad sandwich (both very tasty). Also ordered tomato soup (had a lot of cream kinda tasted like vodka sauce not tomato soup), and bacon grilled cheese (had tons of bacon which is not usually bad but tasted more like a bacon sandwich and given the very small amount of pesto, the overall eating experience was just too salty with no balance of flavors). I ended up not ordering coffee but did have the horchata (iced) which was tasty but with a very mild flavor (not enough spices). The cafe itself is beautiful and the bathroom was clean. The vibes are very cozy/glam and the overall experience was very nice. We were seated quickly, our food came out quickly and the staff was friendly and helpful. I'd certainly recommend giving them a visit.

Food was pretty good and perfect portions (you’re not going to have leftovers but you will leave full). Boyfriend ordered the short rib benny and he really enjoyed it. I got the California Benny and it was also good. The home fries were the star of the show though. They tasted like the Cajun 5 guys fries. We also got the strawberry lavender home made soda and they were really refreshing.

I like trying new places and WM had great ratings. I like when restaurants put their own twist on dishes but these twists were horrible. Vermont Benny GROSS on a tiny English Muffin with a teaspoon of hollandaise sauce. It has sausage instead of Canadian bacon but it truly was gross. The Short Rib Benny wasn’t as bad but still wasn’t good and both dishes came out ice cold. I ordered the chicken salad sandwich. It was decent but it was warm. I like my chicken salad cold. The manager was very nice and had new Bennys made but my wife and daughter weren’t interested because it was gross anyway. Also they gave a major fly infestation.

Greatest coffee on earth! I am a professional motorcycle rider and food critic. I travel around the country to find the greatest coffee and I think this is it! The flavor was explosive (later my booty too), the staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was pleasant. If I could, I would live here. I enjoyed my coffee so much that I will return to this place weekly.

This spot has been a go to and all around favorite of mine for brunch for years now! This very unsassuming but cute spot has more space than you'd imagine and further shows its worth with its scrumptious food and vibe. I've personally always ordered either the ricotta board or brioche French toast with a side of bacon and or home fries and a baby Bellini. This combo is heavenly. Everything comes out so purposefully done and delicioussss. I've come with family/friends and on my own and always had a pleasant experience. The general cadence is relaxed so it's a nice spot to catch up with friends, celebrate with your immediate family. The service is pretty good, friendly and attentive.

There are only a handful of decent standbys for breakfast around here and this is one of them! ✨Vibes 9/10 ☕️Coffee 7/10 - milk frothing could improve 🍳Food 6/10 - needs a little more flavor 🏃🏻‍♀️Be back? Not too often but yes, for variety

Nice rustic spot you can go to for brunch. Brought my mom here and we were a huge fan of the home fries. I was also happy with the breakfast veggie bowl. It was tasty and the maple vinaigrette was a nice touch for fall. My only small suggestion is to take drink orders first…even if you’re busy. It’s always nice to be thought of and it gives you buffer to take orders. Thank you!

I had high hopes for my recent visit to White Maple Cafe, but unfortunately, it fell short of expectations. The ambiance was immediately ruined by the booming music that seemed to be blasting from the kitchen. It was so loud that it drowned out any chance of having a conversation without shouting. Not exactly the peaceful dining environment one hopes for. It seemed as though the kitchen staff was too caught up in their own jam session to focus on cooking. When our food arrived, it was not as expected, given the other upscale restaurants in the neighborhood we were expecting better quality meals. However, amidst this chaos, the one saving grace was our server, who was incredibly kind and provided exceptional service. The professionalism and demeanor were the only redeeming aspects of this otherwise dismal experience. It's a shame the efforts were overshadowed by the chaos behind the scenes. It's regrettable that the potentially pleasant dining experience was marred by these significant drawbacks.
