    Watch 20 minutes to get here only to find them close to probably shut down to Covid. Would not recommend wasting your time.

    Another wonderful brunch at Claudine's. This most recent visit, there were a few hiccups with our…read moreorder, but the service was outstanding! I love their drip coffee and that there are free refills. Yay! They have some outlets available if you bring your laptop. I usually come on weekdays because the weekends get super busy! They have indoor and outdoor seating, but I like to be inside and watch the folks in the kitchen do their thing. We started with a blueberry scone and it had great flavor. It did taste a little on the dry side, so depending on how you like your scones can be a good or bad thing. Goes perfectly with the coffee! For my main I got the avocado chicken BLT wrap and it was delicious! I chose to get hash browns on the side, which were tasty but I wish they had a little more crisp on them. My mom ordered a scramble and what came out was an omelette that has been cut up into pieces. My mom brought it to an employee's attention and she offered to have them remake it, which was appreciated! Love that they validate parking if you park in the underground lot. Overall, my experience here is consistently good. Love their food and the casual vibe!

    Misleading Signs, Poor Management, and Unhelpful Service I…read morehave visited Claudine's in Encino on Ventura Boulevard many times. However, my girlfriend and I were very disappointed during our most recent visit. The tables have clear signs that read: "ORDER FROM YOUR TABLE!" with a QR code encouraging customers to "SCAN HERE TO START AN ORDER." We followed the instructions exactly. After a table became available, we sat down and tried to order from our seats using the QR code. A manager immediately came over and confrontationally told me I was not allowed to do that. When I pointed out the sign on the table, he became combative and unfriendly, insisting that we had to stand in the long line like everyone else. He came across as being on a power trip. This makes no sense. Allowing customers to order from their tables (as the signs clearly promote) would help relieve the long lines at the cash register and actually benefit the business by improving flow and customer experience. Instead, the policy creates unnecessary frustration and confusion. Even worse, the interaction felt somewhat discriminatory. This kind of treatment is unacceptable and left us feeling unwelcome in what should be a pastry and coffee shop experience. Owners and management: Please either remove the misleading table signs or honor what they say. Train your staff -- especially managers -- on basic politeness and consistency, and ensure all customers are treated fairly. The servers who bring the food are very polite and courteous, the manager not so much. Great food will keep you in business only for so long, however if the management is so hostile and dominant, people will eventually go elsewhere. This experience will keep us from returning.

    A friend took me here the other day for some grub and yap. I absolutely love the interior. I only…read morewish it was more gothy inside. But there are some nice velvet chairs and things. Plus the branding is cool. Anyway, onto the food and drinks. I ordered an iced matcha and the Marigold sandwich. The matcha was perfect honestly because they gave the option of sweetened or unsweetened. Also, the sandwich was delicious. I was so excited to see something with turkey bacon by default and not regular bacon since I can't have pork. The spread they use on there is really yummy. The menu has a lot of interesting flavors on it. There are some Korean-inspired dishes that I definitely want to try like the Kimchi breakfast tacos. Can't wait to go back! Note: 1. Plenty of seating inside and outside under a tent of sorts. 2. Plus they have a speaker outside so you can hear when your order is called. 3. There's a small parking lot but also a residential area next to it where there's street parking.

    Stopped by recently and had a pretty good experience overall. The chai was decent, but I was hoping…read morefor a bit more spice and depth of flavor. That said, the Madagascar vanilla latte was really good - smooth, slightly sweet, and definitely something I'd order again. The burritos were a highlight!! super big portions and satisfying. Prices were also very reasonable for the quality and size, which is always a plus. Staff was nice and welcoming, which made the visit even better. I'd come back, especially for the burritos and that vanilla latte!

WELL MAY WAS THE MONTH!! and i just found my new favorite matcha in LA. LOOK AT IT??? ITS BEAUTIFUL??? ITS GREENER THAN SHREK???? I got it with pistachio milk (the fact that that's an option makes me feel like a pretentious hipster) and GOD i nearly teared up. you get nearly double the amount of ROK, but just as potent. it was to absolutely die for. it was not too crazy sweet, yet not bitter whatsoever. and that CREAM... don't even get me STARTED. thank god i go to ucla bro my veins have become matcha im not even joking...

FLOORPLAN the sunken space, while compact, seemed to be able to seat more people than the northridge branch. it also felt warmer since the furniture was brown instead of white. note that this cafe is accessible by TWO entrances: one entrance/exit connects to the underground garage, while the other connects to the street (de soto) across from starbucks. there was no outdoor seating or restroom available. according to the staff, the closest restroom is in target. PARKING all the businesses in the ventura connector, including RE: coffee, share a large lot. there are also 3 spots reserved for the cafe in the underground garage facing de soto.

No, I am NOT pregnant. :-) just cravings like most people have. Walked in this morning around 10am & was greeted by couple of employees. Both very nice, sweet, helpful and kind. They have so many different donuts, croissants, sandwiches, hot and cold coffee, espresso, latte, bottled drinks and more.. They have an indoor and outdoor seating and the place is super cute and very clean, chill and you get what you pay for. I got a dozen donuts from them and tried one on my way home and it was just decadent, fresh, fluffy and the frosting isn't overly sweet. Has parking and a restroom for their customers! Will definitely return next time I am in the Encino area. Established back in 1960 & Winnie/the owner of the place took over ownership in February of 2023. Give this donut shop a try and you will be very satisfied!!:-))

The next morning, I opened the box and realized how small the donuts really are for the price. Compared to Randy's Donuts, there's really no comparison. Further, they become a bit hard. There's also another donut shop south of the boulevard on Topanga Canyon (I believe around 4872 Topanga Canyon Blvd) that does an excellent job. If you go too late, they're usually sold out -- which says a lot. Sometimes driving a little farther for better quality, larger donuts, and fair prices is absolutely worth the trip.
