What a beautiful spot! Popped in for brunch and loved everything we got, from the breakfast bowl and brownie to the latte and bagel with lox. It’s a great place to grab food and enjoy the cute patio or dining room! We’ll definitely be back!

Horrible service. Didn’t get greeted when we walked in. The blonde lady seemed mad she had to work today. Ended up going elsewhere.

Great Quaint & Cozy friendly neighborhood Cafe. This is a place you would take your bestie to enjoy a good brunch in a small farm or tea/cottage-like setting. The food has enough options to meet the needs of a healthier eater and the typical American brunch patron. No fuss cafe with simple service. Family-owned & not a large staff so please be patient if your food takes a little longer to make. Order a latte or smoothie and relax. They are doing their best and it shows!

WARNINGjust so everyone knows before going here, the prices on their menu are less expensive than what they charge you on the machine. I noticed that the blonde lady at the register charged us $14.75 for a breakfast plate and $12.99 for a sandwich but their menu clearly says that the prices are $12.99 and $9.99 respectively. I noticed this and pointed it out to the cashier and she TOOK THE MENUS AWAY from us and said that those are the old prices and she "normally doesn't leave these menus out in the front". (Clearly a lie because if she "normally" doesn't keep the menus out then how would people even be able to order???) She then told us that if we wanted to look at their prices online that it's the same prices that she's charging us at the register. While we were walking out, I noticed that she put the same menus with the WRONG PRICES back to where they were at the front of the register. Also, while we were trying to order she was fighting with another girl at the front about a different customer's order and completely ignoring us. This older blonde lady needs to work on her customer service for sure. The two younger girls and the young blonde guy who work there are so much nicer. Also, I've been to MaryLane a few times before and it's been like 6 months and they still haven't updated their menus to their new prices. I want to love this place so bad because the decor is so cute inside but MaryLane needs to DO BETTER.

First, the good. The two young ladies that helped us were great. Super friendly and nice. The not so good.....man that place could use a deep clean. Windows, chandeliers, tables and floor were pretty dirty. Our table was covered in dried syrup and crumbs. I had to get a wet towel to wipe it off. It was not busy, I noticed the two young ladies spent a lot of time on their phones and hanging out with a young guy up front. Maybe grab a towel and wipe down the tables. Invest in a wee cordless stick vacuum and hit the floors in between covers. You've got to stay on top of that or it gets pretty gross quick. The kitchen was slow. Really slow. Our order took a long time, and was cold. Cold eggs, cold potatoes, sausage that's clearly being kept in a chafing dish. The kids pancake order was cute, and was the only highlight of the meal. (great Americano though, and I appreciate the free refill)I took the toast home to use as either a doorstop or for my next sheetrock project. This place has lots of potential. They just need to tighten things up and they would have a winner.

i have never written reviews before but the prices on the menu are way less than the real prices, and completely dont match what i was charged on my credit card bill (even with tax). money is tight and i like to support local businesses but not ones that will pull stunts like this

Just as adorable and aesthetic as I thought! Mary, the owner, is so genuine, laid-back and fun to talk to! She puts her heart into the business and it definitely shows in both the quality of the food and service! I recommend the BBQ chicken sandwich ? Great spot to sit outside (on cute swinging chairs) or inside for a quieter, more intimate-feel. If you’re in town, you must try this spot!!

A few weeks ago was the first time it said to stop in Mary Lane Cafe with my friend. I've driven by it tons of times since I live down the street. It's a fun little place that used to be the Alta Dena drive thru dairy back in the day. They've done a great job converting it into a dining space. This is a really popular place especially during brunch times and not ideal if you're in a rush. There was another customer that sat by us and said that she only had five minutes eat her food. But if you have the time this is the place to relax and enjoy yourself. We split the Liege waffles. It was almost like a doughnut consistency which made it very unique and it had more texture to it. It lso came with some fruit toppings. We then split a couple sandwiches, the pulled lamb sandwich and also the chipotle chicken sandwich. Both are pretty good! There are maybe a handful of tables on the inside and also on the outside in the patio area. There is an too much parking in their actual a lot but there is always street parking available. They just recently got a new sign so that was fun to see.

The menu is pretty scammy. For every item, you're charged at least a dollar more than the listed price. Their excuse is that the menu is 6 years old, but it's pretty baffling why they wouldn't have gotten a new menu since then if the prices are different (digital menus are so easy and common these days). All together, our table of 5 was charged about $20 more than the menu price.The owners claim in their reply that users of the paper menu are told that it is outdated - this is false as we were never told. Additionally, the digital menu, while it may appear online, is nowhere to be found in the store. The only obvious menus are the outdated paper ones, prominently displayed right at the cash register.Given how quickly 2 sheets of paper can be replaced, (or prices on the old menus can even be updated with white-out!) this feels like deliberate deception.

Recently moved to the neighborhood and this cute cafe is in walking distance, which was a delightful surprise. I've only had the breakfast sandwich and the lemonade, but both were tasty and fresh. Unfortunately, others are right in that they seem quite understaffed and disorganized. I know it is a family business and definitely want to see this spot succeed, so I would urge the owner to hire a few more staff/do a bit more training for the current staff for the busier days. There were two different employees behind the counter that waited approximately 5 minutes before saying anything to me. It's the little things that make people feel welcome!

Got the breakfast wrap with sausage and bacon. Should've been named "Egg wrap". I did taste a few sausage here and there but there was no bacon at all. Tasted pico de Gallo within the first 3 bites and that was it. There was a sprinkle of potatos inside the wrap and they made sure to put a hefty amount of eggs inside. Just terrible and disappointing. This was a complete rip off.

Sandwiches were solid and portions were good!! We enjoyed the lemonade & the pastries as well. I'd recommend eating here for the aesthetic, good food and friendly staff!! I would visit again when it's not as hot since inside didn't seem to have AC.
