Maxi’s Luncheonette

Excellent food! Best spaghetti and meatballs and meatball sandwiches around the area!

Came to this place for lunch and ordered a salad. The service was quick and the salad was delicious. I ended up getting a latte to go even though I’m suppose to be staying off coffee but it was well worth it! I will for sure be coming back soon.

They used to have frozen pizzas but now they make them homemade! the old come on in café was your typical stuff, but this place has taken over and is slowly trying to adapt the menu to what they want and improve existing items, i spoke with the new guy Max and he is really welcoming and understanding, i hope he does well!

We stopped here for lunch last Monday and unexpectedly had an awesome time.
Cannot believe this place was right there all along and I missed it until now.
We met the new Italian owner and he was very friendly.
Excellent selection of fresh homemade sandwich, focaccia and pasta.
The service was fast and the prices were affordable.
Definitely enjoyable ! I’ll try again.

Yes, this place needs help since it is new. Come on in Café had the business down and these poor workers seem really confused and stressed. The food is tasty and the portion is good, but needs help. I ordered a «greek wrap» that had way too much dressing on it, it leaked all over the to-​go box onto the side of fruit and made the wrap soggy. I ordered at the same time as a friend (we ordered the same thing) and mine took about 10 minutes longer. I hope they can get it together, this place could be a gold mine with the amount of customers in the area.

Until recently, this was the Come On In Café, and then one day we showed up for lunch and realized the name had changed, although the menu looked more or less the same.
Currently they seem understaffed and overwhelmed, although plenty of people are filling out the restaurant still. I’m sure that has plenty to do with being in the middle of the Qualcomm complex and having lots of people and limited food options in general. I ate in once a couple weeks ago, and the service was really really slow to get the 5 of us our food. Then today I ordered food to go, and while the wait wasn’t too bad, the order was incorrect. I should have known as I watched the 3 previous to-​go orders in front of me come back and get something corrected with their food after they had received their order, but not until I got back to my office and opened the to-​go bag did I realize my sandwich was on the wrong kind of bread (really, does «sourdough» sound like «rye» or something?). Too far to go back to fix it; I guess it’s my own fault for not unwrapping everything to check the order before leaving the store.
They do get one bonus point for allowing you to text in your order ahead of time, which I will try next time. I don’t know how well it works, but at least it’s an option to get ahead of the line.
The food is decent, but it’s just a soup/​sandwich/​pasta place, more or less. For now, the hassle of a long wait while sitting down or an incorrect order to-​go makes it seem not terribly worthwhile. There are other deli options nearby. Maybe they will get more and better service in the future, as they seem like new owners.
