Created on Jan. 28, 2011, I plan to keep this list up-to-date as a service to the community. If you notice any errors in the list, or if you have information about a change in any restaurants syrup offerings, please leave a comment below or email me.
1/29/11:
- Added Takoba and Zandunga to the list. Neither serve maple syrup although Takoba’s french toast comes with caramelized bananas and guajillo honey.
1/31/11:
- Added Central Market Cafe (thanks @txcooking for the suggestion). However, their thick cut french toast comes with the fake stuff. You can buy real maple in the grocery store and bring it in, though.
- Updated status of Chez Zee after learning from a reader that they charge $4.95 for real maple syrup (source: online brunch menu).
