What People Are Saying About Maxwell Cafe

Featured Review

In Short – Seaside memorabilia, vintage advertisements and paintings of mountain scenery vie for cramped wall space in the wood-trimmed interior of this homey cafe. The Garbage omelette, a signature dish, is loaded with ham, spinach, mushrooms, cheddar, onions and tomato and blanketed in a thick Spanish sauce. Made-to-order scrambles, breakfast burritos, and a hefty steak and eggs round out the options, along with tall stacks of buttermilk flapjacks and crispy waffles.

HORRIBLE SERVICE!

by jcklinne44

WORST COSTUMER SERVICE EVER! They are so rude, they ignore their costumers, the food is good but I like to go somewhere where I'm going to be treated nice and friendly...I agree with the previouS comment "In this economy everyone needs to be on their toes because they will lose costumers" I WILL NEVER COME HERE AGAIN! I even call the manager/owner and told him and he didn't even apologize he was just saying "okay, okay" on the phone! obviously they don't care about their costumers.

Good Food...Bipolar Servers

by Espressome

I love coming to this place but its always a different experience with the servers. They are usually either making rude remarks to each other or ignoring thier guests. I saw at least 3 people stad up and ask for thier checks. I seriously think they need someone in charge there cause they are gonna drive the customers away.

I really like this place though, cute, cozy and really good food. In this economy everyone needs to be on thier toes.

I LOVE this place!!!

by cjsabec

This has become my go-to place for breakfast in the City of Angels during my recent trips to Venice and Malibu. The food is great and the service friendly and fast. The prices are really reasonable for the portions and the mostly organic ingredients. Even though I only drop in every month or so on trips down from SF, the morning server, Shannon, never fails to recognize me and greet me with a smile! A home away from home. Who can ask for more?

  • Pros: Excellent food, super service, just a gem!

my favorite breakfast spot!!

by fyigirl

This place is the best for breakfast! The yummiest homemade breakfast. Great omeletes, pancakes, strawberry frenchtoast, veggie patties, sausage. Very casual and comfortable and cool Maxfield Parrish art. Super kid friendly with books and crayons. I've always received the most prompt and friendly sevice and hot food. Yes, there is a long wait on the weekends.
