nasty service, nice place
The place is nice for a drink or a cup of coffee. I prefer sitting on the sidewalk than inside, where patrons with laptops think they are at the library and stare at you annoyed when you talk. The worst thing about this place is the service. Contrary to the very friendly staff at Max Soha down the block, the waitresses here think they are too good to bring you a cup of coffee or that if you need a glass of water you should address the bus boy directly and not her--how dare you!

Mediocre food and service
I walked in, said "Hi" to the waitress and sat down. By the time I got a menu, later arrivals had already had a chance to order. The French toast with strawberries, by the time it came, had been beaten to the table by orders from people who arrived after I had ordered. It tasted like fairly nicely fried bread, although a hint of egginess would have improved it substantially, and I had expected multiple strawberries, rather than the fraction of a strawberry that actually accompanied it. The latte (ordered way back when) that came some time AFTER the eventual arrival of the French toast, was decent. The place was less than half full when I arrived, so I see no reason to cut them any slack on this one.

Great Food and Atmosphere
The food was great, I tasted the Crepes and Nutella, and the French Toast. Both were delicious. I also had a Chai Tea. Very good. Atmosphere was very organic. It was very expensive though. 25 dollars for two people for breakfast.

a downtown feel uptown
Although a bit overpriced, Max Cafe is a perfect place to just sit and talk. The couches, when you can get one are comfy and no one rushes you to leave, until you're done. I always come here with my friends when I want to go out, but don't want the hassle of going downtown. The food is pretty good if pricey. If you're looking for something less expensive order a tea or latte. I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a great coffee shop that's more authentic than starbucks.

Yum! Great decor too
This place is so cool! Only been here once, but I plan to go back soon. The grilled chicken panini with pesto mayo was delicious, and the feeling of the place is great with comfy couches everywhere and exposed brick and lots of well worn wood. Very inviting.
