Bistro Maxine: Reviews & Ratings
I have come here a few times now with my coworkers. We usually come for some coffee or tea. Every time I've gone, we've sat outside and ordered through their QR code system. I always order the chai latte, and it is very good. The staff is pretty friendly. One of my coworkers is a regular as she loves that the drinks always come in real cups. Their outdoor seating is nice. It is a good spot to take a break from the work day.
Great place to come after a visit at Stanford. I would highly recommend this place for the best chai you have ever had! Also the crepes are delicious and good size! You have to try the savory crepes but don't forget the sweet for dessert! We will definitely make this a regular spot for breakfast or lunch!
This is a sweet little French bistro with unfussy ambiance, cute outdoor seating and good crepes! I tried it a few times as part of the breakfast deal they have with the Cardinal Hotel - guests can choose from among 6 different complimentary options, including cappuccino and cafe au lait which is really nice considering most hotel breakfasts are served with thin watery coffee. I've tried the sweet crepe, eggs, baguette and jam, croissants and fruit. My fave are the crepes served with whipped cream and maple syrup. It is also a chill place to enjoy your coffee and read the news. I'm not so much a fan of the house coffee. Pretty bland. But the cappuccino was delicious!
