Novel

Books and Breakfast. If you enjoy these two B-words, you will most certainly enjoy The Novel Café in Westwood. The ambiance is low-key and casual, and the FOOD is fantastic.
Their beautiful belgian waffle has a giant dollop of sweet whipped cream with heaps of strawberries and bananas on top. The waffle is light and airy, with a satisfying crunch on the rim. ( I was going to say edges, but belgian waffles don't have edges).
While browsing through their extensive book collection (non-fiction and fiction alike), you may enjoy a fresh and flavorful omelette. This one had sun-dried tomatoes, basil, and creamy goat cheese. Rye toast and a side of potatoes make this meal complete.
The various colors of cups give the table a funky feel. Enjoy three fluffy and delicious blueberry (or strawberry, banana and walnut, or plain) pancakes with powdered sugar and generous amounts of pure maple syrup. (not that artificial, chock-full-of-chemicals syrup you see for a fraction of the price of the real thing in the grocery stores). I've always wanted to go to Vermont and collect my own maple syrup! How cool would that be?

Novel also offers many lunch options and scads more things for breakfast, ranging from breakfast quesadillas to eggs florentine! They have several other locations in Los Angeles, including Santa Monica. Here's there website: The Novel Café

I love this place!
