Claudine Artisan Kitchen & Bakeshop

You pay at the counter and then pick a table. Lots of fresh baked good that you can see me your breakfast all day and lunch was very delicious. Plenty of gluten free options. Juices were great too. They were busy when I came at 9am so make time to wait in line.

After a massage next door I decided to try this bakery and was hoping to get a pastry as I was on a roll with treating myself after the massage. This location is central and in the middle of a section of Ventura Blvd with a lot of other services, so the location is great Its spacious inside with several tables on the sidewalk which were shaded. There was a pickup area and it looked busy. I had their coffee from a fresh batch which was excellent. The service was quick and I thought the prices looked reasonable. I didn't have a full breakfast but look forward to doing that sometime soon.

Made for a wonderful lunch, service was pretty good, but she was a little pushy about getting a pitcher of mamosa, the burgers are great and same with the chicken sandwich and the salmon salad.

Great food. However, one of my friends ordered a coffee, but it was never served. He had to go up to the counter and ask for it. We're not sure if this is normal procedure, but if it is, it was never communicated to us.

The atmosphere and staff were excellent, and then on top of that the food is so yummy. We went for weekend brunch, and it is now our favorite spot!!!! If you haven't tried it, GO!

You gotta be craving that extra yummy brunch do you want to go here. I would not consider this year every day sort of breakfast spot. All of the portions are extremely big. The food is really tasty and they have their own hot sauce as well. I honestly recommend getting the burrito or croquet Madame. Every single pastry item is amazing, I wish they were slightly cheaper and I would buy one of everything.

Enjoyed this place every much! Great service & they also validate parking. Food came out very quick too

Alot of good bakery and good food here but you're going to pay. It's a little pricey, and the servings are not all that generous. I got the salmon bowl and I got a 4-5 oz ounce salmon pc. For 22.00

Great food all the time everything in the menu. The service is mostly self served with the exception of the food being brought to your table. Get a menu, order your food at the counter, take a number and find a seat. Pretty quick and easy but sometimes it is hard to find a seat (complimenting the fact that they get pretty busy). Inside is very loud for my taste but they also have plenty of outside tables that brings traffic ambiance to the environment (I like to see people hussle and bussle while I enjoy my meal LoL). I enjoyed my self Nashville Chicken with 2 eggs and hash browns. While my wife liked the Z fried chicken with potatoes wedges. Been there twice and enjoyed the food both time. Must try at least once for the food, ambience and quick service.

My friends have been raving about Claudine's for years and I finally came by and ordered the Hashtag and a lemon cookie. The hashtag came in a skillet that kept my meal hot, the hashbrowns were fluffy and crispy, the eggs on top had orangey yolks and were cooked perfectly, and overall it was very filling. The lemon cookie was soft and flavorful. Highly recommend both! The service is pretty quick and you can order at the counter or online. There is a parking garage nearby and you can validate parking for 2 hours, so it's very convenient.

Had Sunday brunch a few weeks ago with 2 friends. Our meals were not great. Only 1 of the 3 were satisfied. I found a hair in my chilaquiles and told the server. She promised me the manager would refund the entree and they never did. I waited a few days and realized it was not happening. My friend got the avacado toast and asked for the greens on the side. That was an additional $3 charge. We did not ask for extra Just simply it to be on the side. When I saw the charge I was shocked and asked why. I was not given an answer except that is how they do it. The whole experience was very off putting. If we go to a nice brunch spot I expect basic courtesy from staff. I should not have to follow up and harass for a simple refund. If something is going to have an extra charge they Should tell you instead of me having to ask after seeing the receipt.

The food here was so good I dove into my food too fast before I could even take a picture, already thinking about going back! There was no wait or line, easy ordering at the counter, super quick service, and food was delicious. I got the #hashtag which was hashbrowns, bacon, cheese, and over easy eggs in a skillet. They also had a really good matcha lemonade, highly recommend!

I come here somewhat often and always have a good experience. Their food is solid, coffee is delightful and service is great. Lots of seating inside and outside. Most recently I came to get a coffee, a sandwich and some pastries. The turkey and baked Brie sandwich was delicious! Very rich. It's nice they have a seasonal menu so there's always something new to try. The pastries here are insanely good. From scones to cookies, pies and more, nothing is a miss! The pumpkin scone blew my mind. It was so soft and the drizzle on top was amazing. It almost tasted like cake. The cranberry scone was a little different, more in the fashion of a classic crispier scone, and it was also delicious. Everything tasted so fresh and made with care. Great spot for breakfast, lunch or midday pickup!

Came here in the morning and have to say I was surprised at how delicious the food was. They have validated parking underground. When you enter you order from the front and they give you a number and silverware and you just go sit wherever you want. I ordered the turkey chorizo scramble. I have to say it was very delicious and I liked that it did not feel greasy. The fries were so good and seasoned well. I also got an iced matcha and have to say it was yummy.

Rarely think about or make it out to Claudine but I am glad we did today! Took the day off work and we decided to come for mimosas and breakfast! A short drive from home and parked in the structure (they validate 2 hours). I got the Nashville hot chicken and eggs... it has gravy and hash browns in the plate as well. I destroyed this meal. Wow. The orange yolk was on point. Nice presentation as well. It was rather loud for 9am breakfast sitting but we made due. Service was decent and friendly, not the best I've felt. Will definitely be returning!

Just loved this homey welcoming vibe that stays true to its word as a kitchen AND bakeshop. You wait in line to order and yes it DOES get busy especially Sunday brunch time. Large groups beware - hard to get tables unless eating at an off time. First time here and I had the miso salmon bowl which was hearty, healthy, and tasty! Service was kind and helpful. Next time I will do the baked goods!

Love this place for brunch! Aside from the mouthwatering baked goods on display, there were a ton of options from brunch items to burgers. It was very crowded on a Saturday brunch (a long line snaked to the counter where you ordered and they brought the food to you) but service was fairly quick, croissant was so delicious, plentiful free parking (2 hours free with validation). It was very loud so not a quiet place to have a conversation - but it was pretty tasty so I would definitely choose this spot again.

This place is booming and buzzing! New to Porter Ranch, it is the place to be for a delicious breakfast! Seating is a bit hard to find since it's very crowded and you have to find a table on your own. I do wish there were a hostess to assist. I think something happened with the orders because we waited 45 minutes for one plate of food. However, the staff offered complimentary cookies and rice krispy treat for the delay, which we really appreciated. The hashtag is a must! Such a delicious skillet of crispy Hashbrowns, cheese, green peppers, eggs, chives, and sour cream!

Pros: eggs were fresh, I had the hashtag and it was very good, my son had the kids pancakes and he loved them. The gentleman that took our order was extremely nice and recommended the hashtag. Cons: the fresh coffee was just ok in taste ...the seating felt overcrowded ( granted it's a small place and it was way too windy for people to be outside) Overall, Would I go again, yes because the pastries looked amazing and I would try something different from the menu.

This place has been on my radar for a while and I finally stopped by. It's pretty big inside with a mouth watering baked good section that had me drooling! I bought a small Bundt cake, a blueberry scone and a slice of the banana bread. Everything was fresh and flavorful. I am planning on going back for breakfast soon. *Breakfast/Brunch & Lunch menu *Street parking only *Dine in or take out available *Family & kid friendly

Best breakfast spot in Encino!!! Staff is wonderful, l deliver all the time from here. Thought I give it a try.!!! Wow!! I get it now!

Was in the area for a dental appointment and decided to come check this place out. Everything was amazing! The eggs were fluffy and the toast and hashbrowns were super crispy! I do wish they carry cholula but they have their own hot sauce on the caddies. I'm not a huge pancake person but their pancakes were delicious. We also bought their banana bread and coffee cake and they were a 10/10. If i'm ever back in Encino i'll be back!

Places with parking have a special place in my heart. You can get validation inside for up to 2 hours free. When you arrive, you order inside at the counter. They will give you a number and bring your food out to you when it's ready. There's seating inside and outside along Ventura. There's a lot on the menu and so much of it sounds delicious. The portions were a good size and I loved that when I asked for well done hash browns, they were nice and crispy. My only negatives were that the place was so busy with people in and out that the staff couldn't clean and turn over the tables fast enough. Also, my omelette was pretty greasy. I even put it on a napkin to soak up some of the oil. Not ideal for an egg white omelette. Overall a cute place with options for everyone. Pro tip: they have Shirley temples in the soda fountain!!

I'm in town for about a week. My doctor recommended the chocolate chip cookies here so my family went for lunch. The cookies are small but are really quite good, taste homemade. I got the miso salmon bowl. It was so tasty! And so healthy but in a tasty way. It was a perfectly balanced bowl, I just wish the salmon had been a lil bigger and that some of the veggies had been cooked more/at all. The sauce on the salmon was so yummy, I should've asked for more of it on the side to use on the veggies. The rest of my family got the pancakes and really loved them. And we're a picky bunch when it comes to pancakes. The staff were so kind and friendly. The space feels catered to adults but was also kid friendly. I might go back while I'm still here!

Delicious Food, Busy Atmosphere I visited Claudine Kitchen in Encino and had a great experience with the food! I ordered the truffle mushroom toast, which was simple but packed with flavor, and it came with a fresh side salad--such a great combo. I also tried the coffee cake muffin, and it was one of the best I've had! Not too sweet, perfectly moist, and topped with a delicious crumble. A big plus is the validated parking--there's an underground lot, and Claudine has a validation machine by the entrance for two hours free parking. However, if you're going on the weekend, be prepared for crowds. It was tough finding a table, and open seats were gone in seconds. Inside, it's pretty loud because the space is packed. They also have wifi. Overall, fantastic food and a great spot, but if you're looking for a quiet, relaxed meal, it might be tricky during peak hours! Would definitely come back for the food, though.

Nice and early breakfast spot open at 8am. Parking located in the lower parking structure next to the restaurant which they validate for or street parking. Service was a little slow since it was the weekend. Ambiance was casual. My friend and I shared the brisket burrito and pancake. Pancake was very fluffy. Brisket burrito was very filling and I loved the salsa verde that drenched it. Will definitely come back to try more items!

Once you get past the long line that moves very slowly and finding a place to sit, everything is great. The food is very good. Fresh with quality ingredients and nice presentation. Park for free across the street at Amazon Fresh complex. Don't go on the weekends unless you like to wait. I would come back, just time it out better.

I had a flight of mimosa, the most delicious one is always the classic but all of them taste Great. I got the vanilla latte with a coffee cake super amazing, and the I would say my chicken chilaquiles were very delightful and tasteful. I will be returning soon.

I loved this cafe and bakery in Encino. The baked goods are what drew me in but their food was yummy too! They have a wide assortment of baked good everything from pumpkin coffee cake to fruit filled tarts and danishes. I started with a slice of banana bread, the pumpkin coffee cake, and a raspberry tartlet. The coffee cake was super moist, great fall flavoring with the pumpkin and spices, and it was topped with a delicious crumble. The banana bread was equally moist and very good. I loved the raspberry tartlet you could tell it was made with fresh ingredients and the raspberry filling was really zingy. I got an egg white breakfast burrito which also tasted really fresh and came with a side of salsa. The burrito was filled with fresh spinach and feta cheese so it almost had a Greek twist. I really enjoyed it. Will definitely be back for more, their baked goods are especially irresistible!

Not enough selection. Poor offering. Way too expensive. I will not be going here. Two offerings for a sandwich?

urth cafe style ordering, there's a line and you order at the register and they find your table number to serve you. a line does build up here!! the brisket burrito tasted very good, would say it is very heavy though. the avocado toast is good as well! orange juice is fresh squeezed. the man working the register was very sweet.

Found this place earlier today. My best friend and I were looking for a brunch spot. The place was pretty busy. Not a traditional restaurant set up. We had to stand in line and order our food. Then they give us a number. We then just find a place to sit and have the number displayed for the servers to bring our order. There is a QR code on the number which allows us to order more menu items without having to wait in line. We ordered the fried chicken sandwich and the shakshuka. We got a trial of mimosas drinks think they called it a flight, mocha coffee and a hash brown. Honestly, all the items were great. I would get any of it again. They have their own bottle of hot sauce. My friend liked it so much I bought her a bottle. The service was quick. Everyone was staying busy, turning over tables, pushing food out... The only negative was this butternut squash soup.. I don't know if we ordered it or if it came with something. We were not a fan of it. Overall, I loved the experience here. It was a bit on the noisy side though. They have tables inside, outside and a bar seating area. Curious to see how this system of ordering works when it's even more busy and all the tables are taken.. do people just stand and hold their number while hoping someone finishes before their food is out? Bottom line... Good food, good service, good environment... Plan to come again

A busy self serve cafe! Order up and find a table. Both indoor and outdoor seatings are well situated for small or large groups. The menu is simple with breakfast and light sandwich selections. Many coffee, juices, and other beverages to choose from too! Their fried chicken sandwich is juicy and well battered. A nicely putted sandwich together. The short rib Benedict was also very tendered and flavorful hollandaise sauce. A great brunch spot to catchup, casual date, or family gatherings.

Super cute restaurant. Love the outdoor patio & the fact they have heaters. The pancakes are delicious. Probably one of the best pancakes I've had from a restaurant. I do wish they would heat up their syrup tho. I also got the turkey chorizo and egg w/ potatoes. That was my first time trying turkey chorizo and I have to say it's a no go. It just lacked flavor and as someone mentioned before, the food does not come hot. Maybe something they can work on. I would like to go back and try their pasties and other dishes tho.

It was my first time here and I'm glad I stopped by! I ordered cafe mocha and it was perfect! I also tried the chicken sandwich which was just okay! The lemon cookie made up for it, it's so soft and not too sweet! The friendly server and busboy made the whole experience even better l! Good vibes all around! Will definitely come back!

Claudine is less than one mile from my house. I had been at Claudine's a couple of times maybe two years ago. While walking with a friend, the topic of fried chicken came up and he said that Claudine has the best. It took me another year to try it. Today, my son and I decided to give it a shot . So I ordered the standard, it comes with eggs and hash, my son got two pieces plus potatoes , I got a soup, and for dessert, we had a donut and a slice of banana cake. It all came to $54 or so. What a value. My son sometimes goes to Canes and gets a below average fried chicken and pays a ton. The young girl at the cashier was so sweet and helpful. The staff serving the food were nice too. We sat outside and watched the cars go by. It was nice and pleasant.

Mmm and booo. This is the delicious Vale Vale hot drink. Perfect for the Halloween spirit! Thanks Claudine appreciate your dedication.

This place cranks out high quality food for the masses everyday. If you want to eat light, you're covered. Heavy? Covered. Sugar bomb? Covered. They are holding prices in line with the market. You can usually find a seat. Lunch rush is significant so plan to wait 10-15 mins for food. Enjoy.

We met my brother here for breakfast before we had to make our way back home to AZ. Claudine has a great variety on the menu to please everyone. I appreciated that they let me order just one malted pancake instead of the three shown on the menu as I can never finish off that many. I only wished they were a bit more generous with the blueberries (as it's a $2 upcharge to add them) but at least they sprinkle a couple on top. My husband and brother were both happy with the brisket breakfast burrito they ordered. It's kind of a beast! Overall it was a good place to meet up.

This place was so bomb I went to look for a picture of my favorite salad from this place and didn't see one so I had to post this! I will definitely be back the place was clean and ambiance was great.

Apparently I only eat at great places. Yes; I do my research beforehand because let's face it everything is getting pricey and if I'm going to spend my money on eating out it had better be good which brings me to Claudine. It gets crowded here and with good reason. You go into this busy, light, and airy cafe and line up like you're in a school cafeteria. Grab a menu while you're waiting so you're ready to order when you get to the front. They know their bake goods are the bomb so you are lined up beside all the deliciousness tempting your tastebuds. You literally start to think, "It's breakfast time should I really get a huge slice of strawberry cake?" Well the answer is yes!!! I have no pics of my food because I inhaled it but lo and behold bring on the baked goods!!! A great place to check out for good eats and will definitely go on my return list the next time I'm in the area...

It's cute, cozy and the food was delicious. It's a little on the pricier side for breakfast. You order at the counter and they bring your food over. They have a baked goods section to look at with lots of treats. Probably a one and done since we don't live in close proximity. But if we did, we'd most likely go back. I just wish it was more reasonably priced.

Chicken sandwich, Nashville style. I stand by my 2022 review, five stars. Wedges were also perfect.

If you're in the area and waiting for your car at the Mercedes-Benz dealership, this inviting breakfast café is the perfect place to drop in! It's busy but totally worth it--fresh pastries, strong coffee, and a variety of breakfast items make it a great place to wait. The staff is friendly, and the environment is warm and welcoming.

Claudine's is a great addition to the neighborhood! very unassuming but delicious. Order at the counter and they will bring your food to the table. Free 2 hour parking with validation.

Ambiance was cute and welcoming for brunch/lunch. Service was nice and kind. The French toast was soo good, berries were fresh and overall 10/10. Brisket burrito was good but was missing something 7.8/10, wouldn't get again. The chilaquiles were a huge disappointment, it was a bowl of sauce and soggy tortillas but the green sauce was tasty. Probably should have been plated rather than in a bowl, not a single bite of crunch to any tortilla 3/10. But I would definitely come again for another try of other food there.

I came to this place to meet up with an old friend and this was an excellent decision! Claudine's has a lively, casual, and busy atmosphere and is an order and sit restaurant where the food is brought to you after you order it at the counter. The line does take a little bit of time but it is well worth the wait. Staff are friendly and gave their feedback on what their favorites are here. My friend got the French toast that was a very generous portion. Despite the intimidating size of the bread, it was very light and fluffy with blueberries somehow cooked into the batter. The lemon drizzle added a zestiness and wasn't too sugary. The whipped cream was unnecessary and nothing special. I had the breakfast croissant royale and it was very filling. The potato wedges were generously seasoned and had that perfect potato crispiness we all love. The sandwich itself was a good size and the jalapeño aioli made it and added more of a savory flavor to it. Delicious! The blood orange mimosas were a great accent to our meal. It was refreshing, bubbly, and very fresh! Overall, definitely looking forward to coming back here again for another brunch.

We checked out Claudine Kitchen & Bakeshop and absolutely loved it. Such a cozy spot with great food and a warm, welcoming vibe. Everything we ordered was delicious, and it's the kind of place you immediately want to come back to. Perfect for a relaxed meal.

Oh Claudine! The "it" spot for breakfast/ brunch! I've been going here for years and it never disappoints. Great food and drink options, friendly service and cute decor. Our kids loved all the holiday decor this year. You stand in line to order your food then find seating. They bring your food to your table once ready. Since I am on a health kick, I ordered the egg white burrito. Very delicious and filling. The brisket breakfast burrito is probably the best seller. You can never go wrong with an omelette, avocado toast, or chilaquiles. A must have for a dessert which we like to share is the churro tres leche French toast. Enjoy!

To be honest, I'd consider rounding this up to 4 stars, if it weren't for the 1-star service. I'm not one to live by the motto "life is short, eat dessert first," so I was more than disappointed when our dessert arrived a good 10 minutes before our actual meal. To make things worse, the beverage I ordered never showed up at all... perhaps it was by design in a hope to make me feel better about the dessert arriving first? On the bright side, my chinese chicken salad was actually quite good, interesting, flavorful, and deserving of a solid 4 stars. The dessert, however (aside from being out of sequence), was very mediocre at best. Needless to say, I won't be coming back anytime soon. That said, if the service ever catches up to the quality of the kitchen, this place could become a decent breakfast or lunch spot for this reasonably busy and affluent part of Encino.

I loved the food! Will def come back here with my friends + fam. The customer service was great:)

Ordered the most expensive BLT ever $18. Worse part it only had 3 small pieces of bacon.

I picked up a squash salad and an apple pie for Thanksgiving. They were both amazing, both in taste and appearance!

Food, service, staff amazing, featured in photo is blood orange mimosa and cappuccino.

Amazing atmosphere with the cutest self seating. Once you order your food with the lovely staff, simply wait for your food and enjoy! The brown sugar cinnamon latte was amazing and the food was good too. We got the miso salmon bowl and the fried chicken sandwich and they tasted amazing! The wedges were great and crispy and well seasoned too. Such a fun breakfast spot and I recommend!

Parking is very limited. Suggest finding a spot on the street and allowing at least 1hr-2hrs paid meter. This place has outdoor seating usually in the shade and indoor seating. You order at the counter and find a table and food is brought to your table. This place gets quite busy so plan accordingly. Their baked goods section has some serious options. They make fresh squeezed OJ that tastes amazing. I believe their coffee is also great and they have an Espresso machine as well. Brought my wife here for a Mothers Day brunch. It was busy. Food was brought out in a respectful amount of time. I ordered pancakes with a side of bacon, hashbrowns and two eggs. Everything was amazing. Pancakes need to be served with more syrup. One cup is nowhere near enough for three large hotcakes. My wife ordered the chicken Chilaquiles. They were amazing. We really didn't have a server check on us after our food was brought. That's an opportunity considering how busy it was there today.

If You Enjoy Rudeness with Your Coffee... This Is the Place!!! Went to Claudine Artisan Kitchen & Bakeshop in Encino hoping for a nice coffee break. Instead, I got a masterclass in how not to treat customers. Two staff members were rude and condescending, and the manager clearly took the same training. I left feeling humiliated and the dirty-looking kitchen didn't help the appetite. If this is "artisan," I'll pass.
