Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Sugar maple is famous for their desserts, but their asian lunch menu is also really lovely. Their tonkatsu sauce on top of the karage and okonomiyaki, (savoury pancake), tastes homemade and so delicious. All the meals were quite fulling and had a decent price. There is plenty of parking available and seating options."
"Food was delicious! Sushi was made fresh and bought out to us in record time. The staff were absolutely lovley and made us feel instantly welcome. Also the best chai latte ever!!"
"Ordered matcha bubble tea three times, they were perfect every single time. Flavours were rich and bubbles were great. I usually come here Friday and I get my drinks quite quickly within 5 mins wait time. Plenty of car parking spaces available around which I find it easy to park. I recommend this restaurant for dining or a thirst fix."
"This place is a true gem. I come here often and always have a wonderful experience. Staff is absolutely lovely and the food is seriously the best in so many areas. The curry is the best I've ever had by far. I also love the karaage chicken rice, and the burgers are delicious. Everything is always cooked perfectly. I could write a book describing how good every dish here is. The waffles are the most delicious indulgent waffles I've ever had. The drinks are so delicious and unique, they're homemade slushies are perfect when it's hot. Coffee is great too. They also sell baked goods, I personally love the banana walnut muffin. I've tried just about everything on the menu and the only thing that disappointed was the cheesy fries, but I'm very picky haha. Spring rolls are huge and once again delicious. The atmosphere is great too, comfy chairs and cute odecorations. I rarely write reviews but this place continues to impress and deserves the very best. The staff are so lovely and it's my favourite spot to have a drink or a nice lunch. I strongly recommend this place. Everyone I know loves it. Don't crowd it too much though, Ill be sad if I can't get any! I'll attach photos of the waffles here too, once again thank you for all the delicious food <3"
"The food was excellent and delicious, including the dessert "waffle with maple syrup and vanilla ice cream" .. would definitely come back"
"Nice cafe - charming staff. Good coffee and treats. Their sushi is very fresh."
"Absolutely amazed by their efficiency and friendly service. There is variety of options in the menu and all freshly made. The chef was willing to customize our orders as we are vegetarians. We ordered the veggie tempura shushi roll, it’s so yum and so fresh. Their waffle is flavorsome as well with a dash of ground cinnamon. Highly recommended overall!"
"After three years of coming to Sugar Maple they have the best breakfast hand down in Toowoomba and Highfields. Reasonable price great staff and amazing food"
