San Diego Sunday Brunch Spot of the Week: Great Maple

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at San Diego chapter.

Great Maple is one of the top San Diego Brunch Spots. San Diego is full of amazing brunch places and Great Maple is definitely up there on the list. They have a wide variety of pancakes, french toast, egg dishes, and maple bacon donuts. Great Maple is located in Hillcrest and they are one of the few brunch places in San Diego that actually take reservations. If you go on a weekend without a reservation the wait could be up to an hour long.

Whether you have a sweet tooth or want something a little bit healthier, hereĀ is a compilation of Great Mapleā€™s best dishes. And if you are wondering what you should order, we got you covered there too.

Lastly, Great Maple is known for their maple bacon donuts. Not only do they top their maple donuts with bacon bits, but they also add bacon grease into the donut glaze to give them an extra sweet bacon-y taste.
