Bistro Maxine is a popular spot for breakfast and lunch, especially after a visit to Stanford. Located in beautiful downtown Palo Alto adjacent to University Avenue, the bistro offers a nice ambiance and a convenient QR code menu system, allowing customers to order and pay easily. Their crepes are a highlight, with both sweet and savory options available. While some customers praise the crepes as delicious and well-sized, others have found them to be inconsistent in quality. The bistro is also known for its excellent chai and fresh squeezed orange juice, which customers have described as wonderful. The coffee and French toast are also favorites, with both being delicious and served in large portions.
Though the restaurant has some gems, some reviews mention uneven quality, such as a fruit salad that was mostly just cantaloupe, while the parfait had heaps of fresh berries. The staff is friendly, and while there have been reports of inconsistent service, particularly with requests for extra syrup, many have noted that service can be very quick. The egg cheese croissant sandwich remains a recommended item on the menu. Overall, Bistro Maxine is great for a quick bite to eat or a leisurely breakfast, but customers should be aware of the premium prices typical in Palo Alto.
