This place has a taco Mexican food pop up 6pm - 10pm Tues to Sat ! It's pretty good. Don't skip it, worth trying for taco Tuesdays.

The food is consistently good at Mary Lane and it's always fresh. The waitstaff is very friendly even when they're busy; they give you honest and transparent wait times when they're slammed. I'm mentioning this because I see a lot of reviews harping on the wait times but this isn't a big restaurant. It's a small family owned business and if you've ever worked in a kitchen or the service industry, you'd understand they're doing great. They offer outdoor and indoor seating that'll make you feel like you're eating at a good friend's house; very cozy and welcoming. My only critique would be training the FOH staff to be a bit more regimented. I.E., making sure drinks come out quickly and offer refills to coffee if long wait times are expected, bringing out cutlery and/or condiments early, giving updates on wait times, etc.. Maybe have more dedicated roles for each staff member so they can be focused on that one task. Like I said, this is a family owned business so I'm sure the FOH doesn't have classic training/experience in the industry but once that becomes more streamlined, they'll be perfect.

Customer service was amazing! The servers here really did go above for us and our 4 kids! They are super friendly and even gave us free smoothie samples for all 4 kids. I got the mangle smoothie and breakfast burrito. Kids all got pancakes which were very good! I'd say my breakfast burrito was about an 8/10. I would love to visit again and try something else for sure! Definitely recommend this place!

I can not get enough of this place! When I say it's cute and feels like you're at your granny's I mean it. LOVE the decor, service and food. Such a hidden gem I almost didn't want to share this lol. But I love this place and wish them more business and success. A must try in my opinion. Everything I've tried is amazing but my favorite is the lavender latte iced and the spring thyme sandwich. Coming here instantly puts me in a better mood.

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 cafe can be easily missed, its located at the corner next to the gym. The inside is very antique and it feels like i went back in time. The decor and sittings is placed nicely inside and in the patio. Food was great, no complaints. I would definitely come back for breakfast/brunch but i wouldn't want to order the Avocado toast again bc i can make that at home.
