The Nook in Encino

Great place. Definitely portion sizes are nothing to worry about here. Reason I give it four stars just the location.Something that didnt really appeal me along with the seating.Other than that, the food and service was amazing.If you go, dont be shy to share their french toast, waffles or pancakes!

Brunch at this place. An excellent idea and an excellent time with excellent food. No reservations needed. The Swiss burger was great. It was a stacked burger I had to work to get in my mouth. I wasn’t able to finish it. Took it home.

Everything we ordered hit the spot. In side of the restaurant is cozy. Not too big but not small at all. Plenty of seating. The kitchen counter runs along the length of the restaurant which is really different but nice. Makes you feel right at home! We got crepes, wheat waffles, burgers, chicken sandwich, and a wrap. To keep it short, all of our plates were cleaned ! Definitely coming back here.

Its not hard to see why this place is so popular. The environment is just incredibly fun. They play great music in all the servers are really nice. I enjoyed my cuppa coffee right away.!I ordered the trio omelette and I threw on some jalapeños and I made sure that I enjoyed some sour cream on the side rice, toast, and cottage cheese was the perfect start to my morning !!I will definitely be coming back so many great things here!!

One of the better neighborhood breakfast spots. everything is solid there and there is a patio you can bring dogs to dine with you. The banana blueberry pancakes are a MUST.

Went here for the first time for breakfast. The food and service was great! Come with an appetite, the portions are generous. Will definitely be going back.

This restaurant is dog friendly on the patio/outdoor seating area which is covered. There are no heaters outside though. The server was wonderful even brought out a waterfowl for my pups. I got the mama omelet with no cheese and house potatoes it was delicious.

THE NOOK, a breakfast/brunch eatery, is cute as a button. Using stagecraft, the interior is decorated as an European village. Outside, there is a covered patio and umbrella protected seating.The large, creatively written, breakfast/brunch menu includes animal, vegan, and gluten free proteins. Entree portions are large and satisfying.Servers are knowledgeable and friendly. The generously sized glasses and cups are quickly refilled.The brewed coffee is hot and flavorful; the espresso, deliciously rich.Heated, ceramic plates maintain the entrees temperature. Thats important if youre seated on the patio.My wife and I met a couple of friends to enjoy a pleasant brunch. Reservation are not accepted. Our wait is short.My wife ordered eggs, over easy, crisp bacon, with a couple of plate-sized pancakes.Our friend had a mound of whipped cream, decorated with chocolate sprinkled on a stack of gluten-free waffles, to get covered with sliced strawberries and bananas. The entree also included scrambled eggs and crisp bacon.I ordered tofu scramble. Chunks of tofu stir fried with vegetable and rice. It was lightly sauced and very good.My companions made good dents in their generous meals but, at least, half was taken home.STUFF: Parking is free in a tight lot. Wheelchair accessible, including the bathroom, which is located, inside the eatery, down a hallway on the right (west) side of the dining room.

Highly recommend the Green Machine matcha pancakes. A short stack was more than enough for one person because the pancakes are huge. They’re light and fluffy and full of green tea flavor, but they’re not overpowering. There are so many options for fun, unique pancake and french toast flavors. Definitely will be back here for brunch.

The BEST Chocolate French Toast we have EVER had!! A must, really.And the Pesto Benedict breakfast was a delightful change to the classic, I also recommend.
