The Nook is a convenient, comfortable breakfast spot that's nicely appointed and clean as can be, with a welcoming staff. Weekends will be busy and there will be a wait for a table, but I ventured in with some friends on a Wednesday, and we were quickly seated. On this occasion, our server took a fairly long time to come to our table, and was very low energy. One got the sense that she may have been preoccupied with some things, but she was still professional and did everything that needed to be done, so let's just chalk up the lack of enthusiasm to a Wednesday blues. I ordered the Hash Benedict, which replaces the traditional Canadian bacon with Corned Beef Hash but otherwise has all the usual Benedict elements. The eggs were poached nicely, with just the right amount of "runniness" to them, and the Hollandaise sauce had a pleasingly acidic bite and an enjoyably light consistency. The corned beef hash, however, was unmemorable. Not much flavor and perhaps a bit too heavy for adding so little taste to the dish. One friend ordered the Fort Lox, which is the Nook's take on the Jewish deli staple, Lox, Eggs and Onions. It was a generous portion, expertly scrambled, and served with properly browned breakfast potatoes. He ate every bite, and enjoyed it. His wife ordered the Big Mamma Omelette: eggs whites folded over spinach, veggie sausage, garlic, jalapenos and mushrooms, then topped with melted mozzarella. This was also a very generous portion, again served with nicely browned potatoes. Lots of ingredients, lots of flavor, and lots of satisfaction. All in all, this was a good, mid-week breakfast, though I'd not order the hash again (that's a personal thing), and I hope our server finds some bliss in the coming days. read more

When you enter, you are greeted and checked in. Wait time is usually not too bad here. When you're seated, service is typically very good. The food is super delicious and above par compared to other breakfast restaurants. The inside is usually not too quiet nor too loud, as there are lots of people inside a small restaurant and everyone is either talking with their friends or simply quiet and enjoying their meal. This is a definite spot to try. Must. read more

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. read more

The Nook - The Omega Scramble - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Los Angeles, California

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. read more

Great breakfast and good service. Place probably needs updating. We had pancakes and they were excellent.

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. read more

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. read more

I'm a sucker for a good breakfast spot, especially if they have good French Toast and The Nook is that place! The bacon is crispy, the pancakes are fluffy and the my favorite, French Toast has me wanting to come back for more. You can't make a reservation and it does get crowded but the tables flip fairly quickly so not too bad of a wait time. This place is very family friendly, no frills, but just tasty food. For sure a breakfast go to for my family and I. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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! read more

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. read more

The food was absolutely outstanding. I went here with my family and we all shared a little something of everything & it was all so delicious. The food came out in a reasonable time. The only thing I would improve is the servers attitude. Seemed like she had no personality but it was no big deal, she got us everything we needed! I never went inside but it was nice to eat outside on a sunny morning. :) I would definitely come back. read more

Nice lil spot... Took my daughter here for a birthday brunch, and the place was buzzing! It was packed, but we snagged seats at the counter and were seated right away :) The staff was super friendly and attentive. I ordered the 6-4-3 (I think that's what it's called), and my daughter ordered an omelette. Hers came with toast and hashbrowns--there were other side options. My meal had French toast, eggs, and bacon. The eggs and bacon were okay -- nothing fancy, just your standard fare, which was totally fine. But the French toast? Absolute perfection! My only gripe is you get just two pieces (basically one slice of bread cut in half). Come on, let's get two full slices for four proper triangles next time! My daughter loved her omelette but was a little surprised by the style of hashbrowns -- still tasty, just not what she expected. We left full and happy, with a nice memory made. The bill came to $48 with tip, which felt a bit steep, but that's the way things are these days. Definitely recommend this place for a solid brunch vibe! read more

The Nook has some of the best pancakes in LA, specifically the green machine pancakes. I love all green tea and matcha desserts and these pancakes have the perfect amount of flavor and sweetness. The green tea mascarpone sauce and whipped cream pair so perfectly with the pancakes. They have other savory and sweet options on the menu as well, but the green machine pancakes are always a must for me when I'm here. read more

In the heart of Encino lies an AMAZING restaurant for great Breakfast and even lunch. Visited many times already and received great service!! Also very impressed by the very Farm FRESH ingredients used in our breakfast omelettes. Everything is served in Generous portions. We highly recommend the 1) BIG MAMA omelette made w/ egg whites, fresh spinach, veggie sausage, garlic, mushrooms, jalapeños, tomatillos sauce & mozzarella cheese. Very flavorful, light and delicious!! 2) MEXICALI Omelette = the WOW omelette Loaded with Ortega chiles, chorizo, garlic, onions, mushrooms, avocado, cilantro, jack cheese All Covered with their very own very delicious Rancheros sauce. FYI***Just as DELICIOUS as the MEXICALI omelette but served as a Burrito is the EL GORDITO BURRITO... OMG love this too!! 3) TUTTI FRUTTI French Toast soooooo good!!! Served Fresh sprinkled with cinnamon & powdered sugar topped with strawberries & blueberries!! Very thick Great tasting toast too!! A VERY healthy dish is hidden in their menu under EXTRA EXTRAS: the MR UNIVERSE plate with egg whites, grilled chicken & a side of broccoli. Very delicious!! Don't forgot to get their great tasting coffee or even a Latte. Many different choices to choose from! But my FAV is their CHAI LATTE !!! Wow! For Lunch I highly recommend the TURKEY AVOCADO WRAP which is loaded with Turkey breast, bacon, avocado, alfalfa sprouts, arugula, tomatoes, chipotle mayo & jack cheese! So delicious!! read more

Love the name...reminds me of the first digital book device from Barnes and Noble before the "Kindle" overshadowed it:) but I digress... The Nook is a cozy breakfast/lunch cafe located in Encino where the service is top notch and the food is served at the proper temperature. After a morning at UCLA with my mom we headed over for a bite to eat. We ordered the Belgium waffles, scrambled eggs, crispy bacon and eggs sunny side over with hash browns. My sister was smart. She requested her Belgium waffle well done. *mental note for moi next time. Mine was a little too undercooked so I took it home, threw it in the toaster and bam...perfection! My family was very happy with their orders. I picked up the tab. $98 for 4 people for breakfast! A little pricey. My latte was very hot as per my request but had absolutely no taste. They have a high end espresso maker but this coffee connoisseur tasted "no" espresso. I will stick with regular Joe the next time I come here. *Plenty of parking in the lot. Located in the back part of the lot near CVS. read more

I really hate to do this but I am so upset right now. I went to breakfast had a nice time, the food was good and the staff was nice. When I was ready to pay I looked at my receipt and all of the items I ordered were correct. Unfortunately, the prices were not. They did not match the prices printed on the menus and were more expensive. Unfortunately I did not realize this until after I already paid and left. I am so disappointed that I didn't see that in the moment otherwise I would've asked them why the prices did not match the ones marked on their menus. And if they did increase their prices they should update their menus to reflect that because it is so misleading. read more

I've been coming here forever and never did a review! The food is always so fresh and hot every time! Today I ordered the papi burrito and it was very delicious and healthy! I like how it came with a wheat tortilla shell, which was very tasty! The service was very good! Our waitress was very nice and attentive the entire time. And recommended the Papi burrito! Very nice lady! The ambiance is cool and perfect for brunch or lunch. Good amount of seating inside and outside. It is very busy on the weekends with a little wait time, but worth it, it goes by fast. It's plenty of parking in the lot as well! Overall, I will be back again! So much to choose from on the menu with healthy options! read more

I love the Nook. You can never go wrong here. All the food is made with fresh ingredients with quality poultry and vegetables. The server we had was very cool and pleasant. She made sure our order was to perfection with accommodations. The menu is enormous with massive choices that are traditional, healthy, or vegan to choose from. The place was loaded with people eating indoors and outdoors. The decor had cute Italy pictures around the room. We had a twenty-minute wait but were seated before the time which was great because I was so hungry. This place is great for breakfast and lunch with friends or family. Lots of free parking in the lot. read more

The crab cake Benedict I ordered on ubereats and I was really looking forward to it but when I got it there was hardly any hollandaise sauce on it at all. it was pretty dry which is not how a Benedict is supposed to be. Also even though eggs are poached in eggs Benedict usually there's a bit of runniness which helps with moisture and these were also dry and not runny even just a little. I was so disappointed because it had so much potential especially being a crab cake one. read more
