Maple Street Biscuit Company
5054 Old Shell Rd, Mobile, AL
Crema's Take
“Maple Street Biscuit Company is a bright, welcoming neighborhood spot where fluffy, crispy-edged biscuits and spiced gravy steal the show, though recent reviews suggest quality consistency has wavered. The airy space draws regulars and visitors alike for leisurely mornings, though portion sizes run modest and pricing feels a touch steep for what lands on your plate. If you're after Instagram-worthy comfort food in a family-friendly setting, it's worth a visit—just manage expectations around ingredient-to-cost ratio and mention any issues, as the team tends to make things right.”

Power bowl says ‘avocado’ but it’s a tiny scoop of prepackaged guacamole. Bowls are quite small. Eggs were overcooked but they replaced them without a fuss. It was my first time in but was not impressed. This is slightly glorified fast food.
The price point doesn’t quite align with the portion sizes. While the ingredients appear fresh, the cost feels high for what is served. The space itself is clean and airy, and it smells pleasant when you walk in, which creates a nice first impression. However, there is no table service—you order, pick up your food, get your own drinks, and pre-bus the table. For the price, the value feels steep. For two people, the cost is comparable to a full-service brunch restaurant with larger portions and a dedicated server.
Disappointed is an understatement. We visit regularly but lately the consistency has not been seen. The food lately has been lacking. Then the fact that they are allowing people that don’t even work at the establishment walk around in the kitchen and around because he didn’t want to wait in the line. Although I do notice that these things happen when the general manager is not working. The picture is what the potato bowl was basically pure wet spinach.
Great neighborhood coffee shop with a twist towards modern comfort food. The biscuits are full and fluffy a little crispy on the outside. The gravy is good and spicy. They do not have decaf espresso. Service is quick and friendly. Servings are big and delicious. I’ll definitely be back. Urban Cowgill July 2025
I cannot say enough good things about this place! We're in the area for vacation and found this restaurant searching through Google maps. The photos of the food convinced me this was going to be worth stopping, and I'm so glad we did! The biscuit and gravy is ridiculous. My husband got the Sticky Maple sandwich, and wound up ordering a second one because "it's too good to only get to have one." The prices are very reasonable and the service was quick.
