I'd like to start with the positives because my family and I do enjoy this place and are happy that…read morewe finally have a tasty local breakfast spot.... The food at Claudine's for the most part is delicious and most of the staff are very friendly and helpful. My first main concerns are the flies which I have on multiple occasions seen them land on the pastries... every time I have mentioned it to the staff and pointed out which pastry, they just put those fly fans close to the area and have never removed the pastry that has now been contaminated. Second and last is the man in the front who I just learned today was the manager. His tone becomes unpleasant and abrasive anytime you ask a question, he lack accountability for his own mistakes, and he seems more focused and preoccupied on managing the line than anything else. I thought he was hired as the greeter not the manager because I only really see his focus being the line and who can walk from one line to the next.... Unfortunately it is getting to the point where it starts to ruin the experience before I'm even able to get to the register and it's sad to see that there are other reviews that have the same concerns.

At this current time it seems often challenging to find a restaurant that's both interesting / fun,…read moreand has good food and decent service. I'm a visual person, and I really miss the before times when a unique theme, carried out with great detail, was something many dining establishments strived to provide. I have so many fond memories of walking into a place dripping with eye catching decor. There used to be so many of them that carried out a theme with an attention to detail akin to how Disneyland delivers successful concepts. While Claudine's vibe is not quite a high elevation of theme, it does provide vibrant visuals. The main interior wall is packed with great artwork suggesting a comfy farm-to-table experience. The counter where you order also showcased beautiful and unique baked goods to tempt you with those sweet treats. If you haven't been, you can expect that there might be a line. When we got there the line was tiny. We barely had time to start looking at the menu before it was our turn to step up and order. My companions on a Sunday morning were Dear Hubby and Sweet Granddaughter. Mind you, this isn't cheap food / fast food. It's elevated fast casual dining. We ordered / paid at the counter, collected a number, then seated ourselves. One little critique there - they have two cash registers, but despite a growing line, they only had one open. Also, it is pretty loud inside, so it can be hard for guests and staff to hear each other during the ordering process. It was a glorious day; not too hot. It was perfect to sit outside on their covered patio, overlooking the shared landscaping between Claudine and Islands. It took a little while for our freshly prepared order to arrive, but not overly so. SG ordered her standard of chicken nuggets and fries, only they offer potato wedges and high quality chicken breast pieces. The breading was tasty, and the larger than bite-sized chunks of chicken were perfectly prepared. The quantity provided for a "kids meal" offered so much food that more than half went home for a second serving later in the day. SG also enjoyed the red velvet frosted donut she ordered. DH dove into a very plump breakfast burrito, stuffed with all manner of good savory breakfast fillings. I thoroughly enjoyed trying their "Baby Dutch mini pancakes". They were served three ways - with real maple syrup (what a difference "real" makes), with strawberries and whipped cream, and the best surprise - with lemon cream sauce and blueberries. So amazing! I also tried the S'mores dessert, and was compelled to share with SG, who just "had" to try it, too. Very delicious. The only thing that to me was overpriced was the side of bacon - 4 pieces for $7.95. Mind you, this is nitrate-free, and it was very tasty. Little add ons did drive up the total bill. The quality is really good, and no one left the least bit hungry. We will definitely be checking them out again. Definitely a gem of an indy restaurant.

I have come once every few years and this place still hits. My niece ordered the 3 egg scramble with: smashed avocado, queso fresco, and spinach with home fried potatoes. My sister ordered the Belgian Liege Waffle with Berries and Banana. I ordered the Chimichurri Steak Quesadilla. We shared foods and hit the ultimate combo of savory and sweet. We saved the Waffle for dessert. The most surprising thing was how amazing and crisp the waffle was after we ate the savory parts of our shared meals. This is the second location in The Valley. The other location is in Granada Hills. Apparently Doja Cat, Vanilla Ice, Stevie Wonders, and other celebs are regulars that they have a menu called "Eat like the Stars," based on the celebrities usual order.

VEGAN OPTIONS Y'ALL!!!!…read more OK, I must confess I yelped after I ate and was in the parking lot. The ambience was amazing. Our waitress was amazing. She did tell us what they were out of and offered suggestion. They have about 8 TV and a bar area. The kitchen is small is right open. You can see the girl doing her thing Booth and table. Had nice music playing. The best of all they have Vegan breakfast options. I have one small complaint. The tater tots were deep fry, which is good, but I think I got them when they were cold and I could taste some kind of sweetness, but besides that everything else was great. I will be back and I will do a proper Yelp review with pictures

The food is consistently great, the service is friendly, and it's a wonderful spot whether you're stopping by for a quick meal or dining with family and friends. I definitely recommend giving it a try!

I came here for breakfast because I was craving the cheese blintzes. I had been here before and…read morereally enjoyed them, so I was looking forward to coming back. We were seated right away with no issues, and the restaurant wasn't particularly busy. The host was friendly and seated us in a booth immediately. Unfortunately, after we sat down, we waited about 10 minutes while pretty much everyone who worked there walked past our table. Not once did anyone acknowledge us or even say, "I'll be right with you." At that point, we decided to leave. As we were walking out, I told the host, "I guess we're invisible." It was disappointing because I genuinely like the food here and had a great experience the last time I visited. I completely understand if a restaurant is busy and it takes a little while to get to a table. All it takes is a simple acknowledgment--"We'll be right with you"--and I would have been completely fine waiting. But having multiple employees walk right past us without even acknowledging that we were there made us feel ignored and unwelcomed. It's a shame because I wanted to give the restaurant my business again, but unfortunately, the lack of basic customer service made us leave and take our business elsewhere.

So it seemed fitting to honor both of them and it satisfied my craving. The catered memorial looked great but it was difficult to make a proper plate. I always crave matzo ball soup. Luckily I had my fan to help cool off my soup. I did add a little salt and pepper. Other than that it was total comfort. $15 We shared a club sandwich and got French fries instead. All the condiments, Russian dressing, ranch come in prepackaged little containers. Ranch tasted fresh and homemade. I used a little of the Russian dressing. Is that a Brent's thing? $22 + $3 for French fries. I wanted a little sweet and got the blueberry cheesecake. That was the best cheesecake ever. Actual blueberries inside the cheesecake. So creamy and delicious. $11 Pickles are always my favorite. I got bagel chips with my matzo ball soup. I ordered corned beef and cabbage for my 99 year old mom. She said she didn't like the cabbage, no taste. She's 99 ‍ It's been a while since I was there. It feels the same. Booths and tables. Same decor. Our server Laura was super sweet and patient. Helpful in our decision making. Ricardo cracked me up because he brought a small soup container for my friend's cabbage soup. She was a little perturbed it was too small. Ricardo insisted it would fit and it did PERFECTLY.

Parking is really easy here, there is a large free parking lot attached right in front. As mentioned service was extremely polite and everything that we ordered came out very fast. One thing I love about this place is it's very long and there is a very big counter if you prefer to sit there or there's also a long row of booths. So it can host many different sized groups. It has a true retro diner aesthetic to it, which I really love. For this visit, I chose the Turkey Chili and Cheese Omelette and thought it was absolutely fantastic. Everything about it was just great and I would highly recommend to anyone. I also want to point out that their coffee is especially tasty and strong and was another highlight of the meal. I will definitely be back next time I am up in the valley.

My mom got the iPhone 18 so why not snap a few pics, update the review and bless you with some nice new pics! First off, the parking still isn't great. It's a small parking lot located next to a building for lease and a liquor store. Two spots are dedicated to the liquor store, there's a handicap spot and probably 4-5 parks. It's usually full so you either have to park on Saticoy somewhere. Once you arrive you are greeted by some of the nicest waiters and waitresses in the valley. I think they are great and they are always so cheerful and happy to serve and help. As for the food, I went with the English Butty. My mom ordered the Black Forest Ham & Tillamook Cheddar Omelette, my son got the strawberry and blueberry pancakes and my dad ordered the Panwhich. A must order is still the lavender lemonade! Sooooo good!!! The food is still amazing and the portions are pretty big. The food usually comes with potatoes and a side of some green stuff. I'm not sure what it was but I killed it this time lol. Overall, Humble Bee is still a top location for some good, organic breakfast in the area and we will always be back for more! OOOOO 5 out of 5 Afros

Zoe took amazing care of us and was an absolute joy throughout our visit. Thank you Zoe!! We started with the Dr. Feel Good wellness shot, which Zoe actually made fresh herself. I really appreciated that it was housemade instead of coming from a prepackaged bottle--it felt fresh and intentional. And DID THE JOB! For food, we ordered the Humble Bee Animal Style and the Farm Boy with turkey sausage. Everything was incredibly flavorful, fresh, and satisfying. And those pancakes... I'm still thinking about them!

The crepe was so soft and delicious and it was covered by poached eggs, lemony lox of the highest quality, yummy hollandaise sauce and very tasty, pillowy baby clouds of cheese were inside of the crepe, which reminded me of burrata. All the ingredients tasted very fresh, of the highest quality and worked so well together. To accompany my Crepe Benedict, I selected Pistachio Cloud for a drink. It was super tasty and extremely creamy, with a perfect consistency. The delicious pistachios were floating on top as well as some submerged on the bottom of the glass. Once I finished the yummy drink, eating up those latte soaked pistachios was a cherry on top-- absolutely delicious! The spot itself has a modern, industrial, yet rustic design, with a lighter color palette and many wooden elements , including the seating furniture. The place felt warm, cozy and homey. The customer service was excellent, with friendly staff always ready to help you out. Prices aren't cheap, but are worth it, cause you're definitely getting premium quality here.

Latte was great, I love that an I just order gets a ceramic mug. Something about drinking from real glass wear is appealing to me. Here's where it fell short I'm a snob and the syrup was not maple it was buttery and tasted like corn syrup. When the meal is a waffle don't cut short on one of the main ingredients. The waffle was overcooked by a few minutes as you can see the edges are very dark which made it hard. It's not easy to make a great waffle but the exterior should be crisp with a soft interior. This just wasn't it unfortunately. Restaurant was clean and staff was very nice.
