“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“

“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“

“First time here for brunch! Can’t wait to come back. We sat outside and they very kindly turned the fans on above us. Rachael was our server and she was fantastic- attentive, quick, kind. I got the breakfast quesadilla and thank goodness they delivered on the cheese. Perfect balance of components. I’m excited to come back for lunch! New valley staple for me.“

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!“

“You order at the counter, get the food yourself, and it’s hard to find parking during peak times. They also don’t take apple pay…. So all in all it’s kind of a teeny tiny bit uncomfortable for me. However, I will say the food here is great, and the atmosphere never disappoints :)“

“Good Quality food. Not overpriced , (2 eggs with toast i think said $9) 👍

I had the BLT with extras though and added eggs to it for a breakfast sandwich feel. Was great. Got an OJ also
Pleasured to find it was fresh squeezed 🥲
Food was made quickly even though they were very busy. Friendly staff
Thanks guys! Everything here was EXCELLENT
