Brunch Restaurants near Santa Monica, CA

“First time going to this tiny spot. It shares the location with a few other businesses in a very trendy outdoor location. The moment you walk inside the quad it smells amazing in there! They have a tent set up and almost a taco stand like feel. The service was very good and the food even better! I ordered the carne asada breakfast burrito and it tasted amazing!! Strongly recommend and will be back the next time I'm in the area!“

“The food and service was awesome. The millionaire bacon is just the bees knees. My small gripe is that all the food leans more sweet than savory but it's literally called sweet maple. I'd lean straight into their sweet oriented food because it's soooo good.“

“Great food and even better service.“

“great food and huge servings.“

“REALLY delicious food. Menu is cozy brunchy with a few Turkish influenced dishes via Ebru, the owner. My favorites are the menemen (vegan - tofu) and the chilber. Wonderful outdoor dining patio under a big tree :)“

“I just ordered for the first time today and I must say your food is fantastic! Generous portion with pickles and delicious soft boiled eggs, pickles, puréed fresh tomatoes and a small amount of hot sauce that isn’t too hot. Just right. Went to your place near corner of Van Nuys and Burbank. HIGHLY RECCOMENDED“

“Went there twice during our 2 day trip. Biscuits are amazing. Maxie was our server, and she remembered us when we returned! She was very sweet, and the owner came out and chatted with us about the history of the restaurant.“

“We looked up places to eat for breakfast while we were staying in the area and Maxine’s had good reviews so we checked it out. We ended up going three days in row for our breakfast because it was so good!! The food was incredible. The atmosphere is great- so cool and individual, playing awesome classic rock. The staff were also really welcoming and friendly. Would highly recommend you go here if you’re in the Venice / Marina area“

“This is the second time going after a long while and honestly, should have come back sooner. Food was great definitely try the chilaquiles and papas con chorizo. Service was quick and staff was friendly. Place was quiet when we got there around 9am but started getting a little noisier once it started picking up. Not crazy noisy but the usual noise of different people having conversations. Will need to go back soon.“

“Fun place, great food/coffee , great energy without all the excessive pretentious weirdness. The most authentic and sincere business in that area.“

“Placed a large order for pickup on Monday morning at 10am. The order was ready ahead of schedule and the store associates were so kind. Amaria was especially accommodating, i forgot to indicate that i would like the bagels cut so she took time to cut all of them while i waited! It was above and beyond and made my day. Thank you amaria and pops bagels team!“

“Best brunch party! I wasn’t expected to be this crazy on a Sunday afternoon. We came for a birthday and the birthday girl had a blast. I mean we all had such a good time. The food and good but the drinks are better! Get bottle service for costume “

“The best soufflé pancakes the best servers ever.. thank you so much for the warm welcoming.“

“The food is so delicious and filling.“

“This is a great spot for breakfast. They open at 9 a.m., so if you go early on a weekend, you get a leisurely start to your day, before the Farmers Market/Grove area gets too crowded.

The food is always great. Highly recommend the french toast (super moist and nicely custardy in the middle), hotcakes, and corned beef hash. The eggs are super tasty too. Everything’s never too greasy or dry. Prices are reasonable, by L.A. standards. And the service is consistently friendly. It’s open seating in the farmers market area; you order at their counter and pick up your food when your name is called.

Just be aware that if you park in The Grove garage, you have two hours free with validation at the Monsieur Marcel french market at the other end of the Farmers Market. One minute over and you pay a whopping $20 for parking, or more if you linger!“

“Amazing place for breakfast lunch and dinner. The food is amazing. I’ve been come here for years and the food is consistently the same, which is what makes this place so perfect amazing.

I love this scene. This scene is so cool and hip“

“Excelente lugar, excelente servicio, todo muy Rico ❤️ muy recomendado.“
