A cutesy yellow building, tucked away on Lathrop Avenue, Blue Max Coffee is what a coffeehouse should be. Although I guess "coffeehouse" isn't the right word to describe this place because their menu...

Nice place for breakfast, although they don't' do anything too elaborate in terms of food. The scramble and the coffee is good. Nice atmosphere. The wi-fi is very spotty.
