    The Omega Scramble
    Rich C.

    We decided to try the breakfast and were positively surprised how amazing it was. I had the vegetable omelette and all the ingredients were fresh and so good. Seasoning on point. Pancake are huge and so good. I mean wow. The breakfast burrito was like 2 pounds of pure yummy. We will be back.

    Menu as of 5/03/2026

    Recently went here with my family for Brunch and ordered our usuals - 1 order of Green Machine $17.95, 2 orders of Eggs Benedict $17.50 and 1 order of 6-4-3 with Chocolate Crunchy Toast. The food is the same quality, taste and portion, I love how they keep the price of their menu reasonable. We recently also went to one of the breakfast place in Tarzana that also has the Green Machine and that place was I think overpriced their menu over the years so we decided to drive 2 miles more. The service here is great, lots of staff that are very attentive, the place was really packed and there was a lots of people are waiting to be seated but we only waited 15 min for party of 4. The inside is still the same as when we last went there, same tables, chairs and faces of the servers. Lots of seating inside and out. Will definitely go back here and drive that extra 2 miles that to eat at the other overpriced place.

    A super yummy breakfast! Came after Pilates class and it was so filling with a variety of options. They have healthier light options and decadent breakfast options like Nutella crepe. Service was nice and it was busy but service was still solid and checked in frequently.

    If your looking for a nice brekkie that's worth every penny, this is your place. It's alway been someplace that we would alway pop into for something good without any fuss. If your planning a weekend trip, be advise that it does get pretty busy. There's always going to be a line. What we tend to do is, if there's bar seating available, jump on it. Saves the hassle of waiting for a table. There's a few spot along the counter so it can be limited depending on the time you visit. Inside tables as well as outside and a little patio area. Menu, it literally has everything. The choices of pancakes options are amazing. Then you have all your omelettes, breakfast special as well as a lunch menu. They only open for breakfast and lunch. Honestly don't think I've even had anything besides their breakfast which is amazing. Service is alway great and all the staffs are very friendly. The food is alway good and plentiful. Their omelette, which is a plus for me alway comes with either toast, English muffins or bagel. And a side of either hash brown, house potatoes, fruit, cottage cheese or tomatoes slices. This visit, an order of the veggie omelette and mvp omelette. Both were amazing and flavorful in their own way. The potion of them is quite nice as well. Food is alway great, amazing service and always leave happy. Plenty of parking in the lot as well as the back parking lot. It's also pet friendly.

    Nookies Benedict
    Brenda M.

    We had book club here today and we definitely enjoyed it. The location is super clean and has inside and outside seating. The wait was less than 10 minutes which is fantastic for brunch. Our waitress was very kind. Our food came out fast and we all enjoyed what we ordered. The only thing that wasn't very good was the French toast. It was way too dry and the Nookies Benedict was lacking sauce. But everything else made up for it. The pricing is also amazing. Definitely worth checking out.

    Iced Mocha
    Luis P.

    I mean the burrito was not the best. I was expecting a flavor filled breakfast burrito but it was ok. 5/10 The hash browns came out burnt so that was a bummer. Although my Iced Mocha brought some joy to my experience. Like the small and busy breakfast rush on a Saturday morning after the gym! Overall I would give service a 8/10 Food 6/10 Coffee 8/10 Overall experience 7/10

    The Chocolate Chipper Cake and side of bacon.
    Olivia W.

    Our waitress was so sweet and attentive. I got the chocolate chip pancakes and they were amazing! We got there before the rush so service was very quick. I would highly recommend eating at The Nook if you're ever in the area.

    I'm always looking for the best matcha pancakes and The Nook has become one of my go-to spots when I'm in the area. This place, in my opinion, is an underrated spot which offers great food whether you're in the mood for breakfast or lunch, great service, and, of course, pancakes! Literally the trifecta of all trifectas. And aside from pancakes I love coffee that is strong and refillable and this place definitely offers that. This is a great way for me to spend a lazy Sunday morning, treat myself to breakfast and have a relaxing time. Can't wait to come back again soon!

    Florentine Benedict
    Claire D.

    Delicious food every time. My favorite are the Benedict's or Matcha pancakes. Most portions are large and perfect for splitting. Parking is free in the lot or there is street parking too.

    I always enjoy coming here for breakfast or to meet a friend. The food is consistently good, the service is always pleasant, and there are plenty of tables--it truly feels like being in a home.

    Visiting Encino where our son and daughter in law live. They took us to neighborhood spot for brunch. Wonderful experience. Busy, waiting line outside. Put our name in for five and told it would be 30 to 40 minutes but we were lucky and seated in about 10 minutes. Great service from getting drinks, to ordering, to food arriving and receiving check. We also felt comfortable and never rushed. The food was done just as ordered, everything arrived at once, warm and all was delicious. Great service, friendly people, we had a wonderful brunch and able to enjoy ourselves and have a great visit with family. Highly recommended whether you are one, two, or many more. Great place for family as well. Large and varied menu.

The standouts were the green beans, the Brussels sprouts that came with the chicken, the pork shank and the tuna and crunchy quinoa salad. I'm still thinking of that crunchy quinoa. We had no room for dessert. So maybe next time we try the goat curry, get the quinoa salad again and get dessert! The service was great too. Attentive but not overbearing.
