First time visit to this Maple Bluff Cafe and we are impressed. We got the Chorizo Hash and the Basic BEC. The Pumpkin Chai Zombie tasted like a pumpkin pie

The inside is very nice, great ambiance, lots of outdoor seating (which looks at a parking lot but oh well). However I paid almost 20$ (with tip) for a mediocre turkey and brie sandwich. It was mostly bread and the turkey was one small and thin breast that didn’t even take up the whole piece of bread. And then a side of greens… definitely one of those meals that leaves you feeling like you could have made something better (and cheaper) at home. So maybe just go for the ambiance and a cup of coffee.

Came in for brunch with my 5yr old. Ordered the avocado toast with egg. They don’t have the kids menu posted but can ask for. Both were very good. Service was fast and friendly. Price is a little high, but was good regardless.

I’ve visits this establishment twice and the first time I came there I ordered coffee and the crispy Brussel sprouts which were AMAZING. They were green in the middle with a nice crispy brown around them. The second time they were all dark brown almost burnt. I went to the counter and asked to have them redone to match the way they were the first time I came and the staffer said “well that’s actually how they come.” I shared how they were cooked the last time I was in and she hesitantly said “I’ll see if they can cook them that way, but again that’s how they come.” I gave her my 1/4 cup of Brussel sprouts (they come in a small bowl so I thought maybe this is just the top layer but the whole bowl was burnt). She didn’t even take the bowl from me she just turned around and headed to the kitchen so I asked the next staff person should I leave them there on the front counter by the register, or do I take them back to my table and she told me to leave them there. Upon the waiters return I received a half bowl of Brussel sprouts cooked EXACTLY the same way.

Avocado toast was very good- crispy brussel sprouts were an excellent add. The homemade scallion cream cheese was delicious as well as the breakfast potatoes definitely recommend!

I’ve finally worked my way through the new spring/summer menu. My favorites are the turkey brie sandwich and the summer berry salad. They are both amazing! Don’t pass on the carnitas quesadilla though. For me, it’s a close second.

I am so happy to have Ancora in their new spot in Maple Bluff! As someone who has frequented the other locations for years, I didn’t think they create an even cooler space with the 3rd location, but they did! Love the interior and the expanded bakery offerings. The honey bacon biscuit is a go-to but I also love the churro french toast dippers and of course all of their coffee drinks. The weekend brunch specials are something my family looks forward to every week. We recommend Ancora to everyone and so love and appreciate the curbside option if we just want to swing by, pull up and grab our order. Otherwise dining inside is a lovely environment too!

My favorite breakfast place. Avocado Toast is the best I have had. Hella Stella is dynamite. Biscuit sandwich is next level. Cinnamon Bun is divine. Can’t go wrong here.

Really nice environment. I love the miel coffee and the avocado toast. Some of the other plates are a little heavy. The service is nice. Best pop tart I’ve ever had!
