There's seating inside and out, opted for first available which was inside. Service was really fast and everyone is very chill, very causal spot. Pistachio matcha is a must, it actually has real ground pistachio, not just a sugary syrup. You can ask them to make it less sweet as well. Chorizo Benedict 5/5: big enough to share. Has avocado on it and comes with a choice of side. Matcha pancakes 4/5: the matcha sauce on top was really really good!

My family and I were first-time visitors to this extremely popular and busy restaurant…read more By the end of our meal, we became fans. Located in the Encino Town Center, I am so happy that my daughter recommended this restaurant. The interior of the restaurant is large, with numerous well-stocked tables and many more tables located outside for patio dining. There also appeared to be a mid-sized banquet room off to one side, behind closed doors, which several guests were exiting to use the restrooms. The entire staff was very friendly, hard-working, and attentive to each of their assigned tables. The specialty here is the waffles; however, their menu is HUGE!!! It offers guests a variety of other food options, including pancakes, salads, omelets, crepes, and more. My family and I ordered Nutella crepes, peach waffles, frittata, and seasoned potatoes. Each item was DELICIOUS, fresh, and well prepared. We plan to return here soon to try other great-sounding options on the menu. This was a very positive dining experience.

The eggs were light, and fluffy. The veggies were tender , and vibrant, not too mushy, and lastly the cheese on top was a little gooey, stretchy, and blistered. This frittata was perfect. I didn't try my table mates dishes but I'm sure they were delicious. Both plates were empty when we left. I will definitely be back to try a different dish in the future.

I…read morehadn't been to The Nook in years and remembered they had a pretty good menu so I decided to stop by since I was already headed in that direction. I got there pretty early, around 9am, and there were already a few people dining. I ended up ordering sunny side up eggs, a side of bacon and a waffle. Everything was great and the customer service was excellent. I'll have to remember to stop by again soon. I forget that it's tucked away in this small shopping center next to the other plaza that has the Michael's and Yamatos.

And all the servers were super helpful with all our questions about the humongous menu. If you thought Cheesecake Factory had fatty menu. Think again! The future hubs got a Favalanche. Just like it sounds, it was a flavorful avalanche of strawberries and cream. I was so pleased to see a few vegan options. I ordered the very tasty veggie burger with a side of crispy onion rings. I also got a hot citrus chamomile tea. They serve it to you in your very own cute little tea pot. And they let me take the leftover tea home to enjoy the next day. Wish I could have given it an extra star for the free parking in the lot.

Within two weeks of regular orders, the owner Efren called me personally. They were out of my almond croissants, so he stayed late, made a batch himself, and dropped them off on his way home. He remembered a note I'd left on a receipt about just moving back and wanted to make sure I was taken care of. The food is excellent -- salads, sandwiches, quesadillas, pastries -- and I routinely get two to three days' worth for fifty dollars. But what sets Victory Cafe apart is something you can't fake: genuine care, consistency, and a team that clearly reflects how they're led. Loyal customer for life. Keep an eye on this place.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I'm so disappointed in this place and I will never be coming here again because of some dumb policy…read morethey have, if you place an order for pick up, you have to get back in line to ask for your food, even if you place the order along time ago, and if your food is ready and sitting on the counter. I put a pick up order on Uber eats and I gave them lots of time to make it, I went about 10 minutes after my pick up delivery time so that I can make a fast pick up on my way to work, there was a huge line When I got inside and when the cashier was done taking someone's order, I just said hi I'm here to pick up my order, and he scored me in front of all of the customers said that I had to get in the back of the line until I talk to him to pick up an order that was already READY! I'm never coming here again, the food isn't worth it to have to wait in line to pick up some thing that I already ordered, that's the point of ordering!!! This is the dumbest policy since this place is notorious for being slow! This guy is the worst at his job, because he actually kept stalling the line by telling me to get in the back of the line, when it would've been faster to ask me my name and just pass me the bag. He obviously can't multitask, and that's not a restaurant that I want to go to.! I don't have all day to pick up a breakfast burrito, and not to mention, there's never parking in the parking lot, and my car was double parked. Not worth it the hassle!!!

Our waiter, Marcus, was so kind and attentive. We told him it was our first time visiting, and he happily told us that pretty much everything is made fresh in house. Definitely made it hard to decide what to order because it all looked so good. We started with a pecan roll, which was served warm and was only $2.75?? Such a perfect way to kick things off. We all pretty much went for lunch food, but wanted to sample the housemade sausage so we ordered a spicy turkey patty to share. It was so flavorful! I went halfsies with a patty melt/curly fries and a cajun chicken sandwich/regular fries. I was easily able to swap the rye for sourdough and jack for American cheese. It was hard to pick a favorite, but I think the patty melt won for me! It was perfectly grilled, delightfully melty, and so juicy. And the curly fries are definitely worth the $0.35 uncharge. We were in and out pretty quickly, but now I just want to go back to explore more of the menu. Such a gem!

I'm a big fan of the QR code ordering system. No waiting around or trying to flag someone down when you're ready for another coffee or want to add something to your order. At this point, I've probably worked my way through half the menu, and I honestly haven't had a bad meal here. Parking can be a little annoying, but that's the Valley for you. Wait times can vary depending on when you go. Most of the time, a party of two is seated within 10 to 15 minutes, but occasionally it's immediate. Great food, a laid back atmosphere, and a spot I'll keep coming back to for years to come.

Ordering is now done through your phone, or, if you're like me and prefer human interaction, you can walk up to the counter and place your order there. Unfortunately, the traditional waiter-service (although there was a bottle of water on the table) experience is gone, which took away some of the charm that restaurants used to offer. For me, that was a bit of a disappointment. Ironically, I still found myself tipping the cashier. As for the food, there were some highlights. My wife's avocado toast was excellent--fresh, flavorful, and well prepared. My chilaquiles were tasty as well, but not without issues. The eggs were cooked over easy and were much runnier than I would have preferred, and the chicken portion was surprisingly sparse. Overall, the meal was good, but the experience felt a little less personal than it used to. The food still has its moments, but I have to admit, I liked the old Blu Jam better.

Don't even get me started on their little fruit bowls with the cream ball thing and Nutella sauce dip they serve with the breakfast! Drinks are phenomenal. I'm a huge sweet cream type of girl, so the butterscotch is my go to. I'm a creature of habit and I highly recommend this drink to anyone who has a sweet tooth with a coffee addiction. Don't get me started on how nice the place feels and looks inside. Like a lot of people described, it is super cozy and welcoming. They have a big mirror near the entrance you can take pictures with your friends at, and as a girl, I looove it haha. There's two levels, like a loft area you can chill at if you like towering over all the other customers. I love high places so that's my favorite spot to chill. The store itself is very well themed and the decore is pretty cool. Service was even better. The good looking guy with curly hair (I think his name is Luis) who serves me on occasion is always so sweet and polite, great customer service skills. Too bad for me he has a gf, but we looove a loyal king who loves his girl! The other employees are great too btw everyone has a great attitude every time I've been, they handle the stress of the rushes well and are easy to relate to. They make it feel less as a transaction, and more like seeing a friendly acquaintance you get to catch up with. Clearly Yellowhouse has employees who know what they're doing with being not only efficient, but delivering quality drinks and service. Great all around, 10/10 would recommend.
