  Fell in love the moment we entered Maple Falls Cafe...your 5 senses will be ignited!  Items to try.... Avocado salad, Brazilian crepes, Yucca fries, Bloody Mary...the list just keeps going!

  My husband had the John Wayne burger and really liked it.  I had the Feijoada and it was delicious.  I had a crisp white wine to accompany.  I plan to drive up there again soon so that I can have the Feijoada again.  The Brazilian carrot cake looked scrumptious but I was tapped out.

  I was so delighted when I stumbled upon Maple Falls Cafe.  It's always a treat to experience exceptional food when you least expect it.  There are limited food options available in the area and this restaurant is quite the gem.
  
  The Chef has created a menu that speaks to everyone's palate.  The John Wayne Burger is legendary.  Serve it up with yucca fries and you have a masterpiece.  The varied menu offers a vegan entree of Hearts of Palm Moqueca which has quickly become my favorite dish consisting of hearts of palm, bell peppers, tomatoes, cilantro, parsley, coconut milk and dende oil.  Fresh ingredients and well-balanced dishes are the highlight of the menu.  The staff is passionate and it shows in every bite.
  
  The Cafe offers indoor and outdoor seating, complete with bar and ample space for the kids to roam all in a cozy atmosphere.  This is the perfect place to enjoy quality dishes, unwind with a craft beer or a well-picked bottle of wine and connect to the wifi and catch up with the outside world.  
  
  Maple Falls Cafe is AMAZING!

  Absolutely a let down.  STAY AWAY from this place!!  
  
  We walked in and 5 diners almost ran us over leaving.  We did not realize they were leaving in frustration until we sat down and observed their table with water, menus and an aborted dinner.  We stayed.  I have been to this location 5 times under 5 different owners.  I love the outdoor area and wanted to try it.
  
  Well, it was a total disaster.  No service.  The service that did appear was confused and unprofessional.  They were nice and lots of smiles but had no clue that they were in the food service business.  We could see everybody around us really frustrated and not enjoying themselves...but we decided to hang in there as this is Maple Falls.  The menu was super limited and really expensive.  Like $12 to $15 for burger and $21 for salmon or special.  The beers were I think really special beers..but none that I could recognize or make much sense out of.  I just wanted a simple Pilsner...not so simple.  They had no idea.
  
  I ordered  the burger.  It took almost 1 hour to get that burger.  People were frustrated and I was too.  The burger was burned to a crisp, the fries ok, but not great.  My wife's salad that she ordered was drenched in oil and vinegar to the point of being more a soup..and not enjoyable to say the least.  A total "you gotta be kidding".  
  
  I am pretty positive and willing to accept the foothills for what they are, but this sucks.  Stay away.  They have no idea what they are doing.  Period.

  Heading back from Mt. Baker we see the silly "Best Burger according to John Wayne" So we went in for a burger. What we received was an infusion of Northwest and Brazilian. New owner Sam does not mess around. Our dinner was melt in your mouth salmon with a potatoe/carrot/apple salad and a veggie dish of black beans with rice and collard greens. We washed our food down with a house sour (cinnamon and apple) and imported porter. Thank you Sam for the experience! We will see you soon!
