“ 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!! ”
“ 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. ”
“ I'm not typically a sweet breakfast person, but the pumpkin French toast was scrumptious! Packed a flavorful punch but didn't hurt the tummy later. The gordito burrito was also a lovely option and very filling; had to take half home! Quick service and a delightfully cute design inside. ”
“ 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. ”
“ 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! ”
