Crema's Take
“Maxine's is a well-worn LA institution where the steak and eggs justify the hype and the vintage decor feels authentically lived-in rather than designer-curated. The breakfast here draws devoted regulars who return multiple days in a row, though you should expect inconsistency—some days the coffee and pastries shine, other days they disappoint. Arrive early to dodge the crowds and snag a seat at one of those eclectic vintage tables without a long wait.”

Formally known as Maxwell‘s up until 2020 this location has been a popular breakfast spot for many decades. It can get quite busy during certain rushes, but we stopped in early this morning and did not have to wait at all to be seated. It’s quite small on the inside, but they…
