A Venice breakfast stop worth saving.
Crepes, coffee, matcha, and a Rose Ave morning.
Food and coffee in one stop
Uncle Dan is built into the Saint Maxime Coffee experience, so the first decision is simple: choose breakfast, then choose coffee or matcha without making a second stop.
Light or filling
The savory side is built for people who want breakfast that still feels easy before walking Rose Ave, Abbot Kinney, Ocean Park, or the beach.
Sweet or classic
The sweet side is there when the morning wants fruit, chocolate hazelnut, butter, or something softer with a latte or matcha.
French details
The batter uses imported French T45 flour, the butter crepe uses Bordier butter, and the menu stays small enough to choose fast.

Why it works as a breakfast place
Uncle Dan Crepes works as a Venice Beach breakfast stop because it combines real breakfast food with specialty coffee. The menu stays tight, so the page should help guests decide quickly instead of making them compare a long brunch list.
The sweet side uses Bellwether Provisions Chocolate Hazelnut Butter, organic fruit, and authentic Bordier butter. The batter is crafted with imported French T45 flour, giving the crepes a more classic and refined texture.
Saint Maxime Coffee brings the espresso, cold brew, matcha, and chai side of breakfast, with different coffees rotating through the bar. The whole experience becomes crepes plus coffee in one Rose Ave stop.
Drink logic
A quick way to choose without rereading the menu.
If the food is savory
Use espresso, cold brew, iced matcha, or chai when the order is salty, green, or egg-forward.
If the food is sweet
Use Strawberry Matcha, Banana Cream Top Matcha, Mascarpone Latte, or a classic latte when the order leans fruit, maple, butter, or chocolate hazelnut.
If you are unsure
Start with espresso for clean contrast, iced matcha for a fresher morning, or chai when you want something warmer and rounder.
