I was so exited to try this place specially because it was all over my social media. My husband and I went and unfortunately the food did not taste like it appeared in photos. It lacked flavor. The strawberry matcha was the only thing I enjoyed. The French toast was deep fried but overdone so It wasn’t soft in the inside. I got a veggie scramble and it did not taste like it had any salt. The price was on the higher side we paid $70 with tip. We don’t mind paying but the flavor was not there so it was very disappointing to pay that much for something without flavor. We won’t be going back. I would go back but just for the matcha but only if I was around that area.
I had high expectations for Max & Louie’s, but unfortunately this visit fell short.
The wait time was about 45 minutes, which we were completely fine with. We planned to grab coffee to go and go for a walk. Instead, we were seated before our drinks were even ready.
The coffee was the biggest disappointment, especially the matcha. After a 45 minute wait, I was expecting something at least a little “Instagram-worthy”… instead, I got what can only be described as a sad cup of green goup. It was honestly undrinkable. The food didn’t redeem things either. Both meals we orderd lacked flavor and were bland overall.
Service didn’t help the experience. We weren’t checked on, and it felt more like we were an inconvenience than guests.
Overall, this wasn’t a great experience, and it’s not somewhere I’d return.
Maybe we caught them on a bad day, but unfortunately this place didn’t live up to the online hype. The almost $10 drinks weren’t even in the popularly advertised logo cans. The matcha was not drinkable. Latte’s were subpar and not worth the price point. Long wait, zero parking. The staff look like they hate being there and barely acknowledge your existence. But the worst part was probably the bland-ness of the food. I’ve never tasted a watery hollandaise sauce, & didn’t know huevos rancheros could lack seasoning to that extent. Had to try to salt things up to make it edible, since the server never comes around to check if you may need hot sauce or other condiments to spruce up the tasteless food. There are lots of amazing brunch spots in the valley, unfortunately this one misses the mark.

Went with a group of 5 on a busy Saturday morning, due to that there was a bit of a wait for a table inside, maybe 20 minutes. Food and service was fantastic. A couple of errors made with our order but they were quickly corrected and we were comped a lemon ricotta pancake, which was delicious, as was the breakfast sandwich. Staff went above and beyond with customer service. Will be back.

Used to be Wepa. Has rooftop dining. Ordered French Toast for brunch (2 slices of brioche bread, dipped in egg, lightly fried). What I got was 2 slices of bread, deep fried until almost black, no egg dip. What I thought was maple syrup on the toast, was oil oozing out! Disgusting! 🤑
