The Trails

If you are planning a walking tour of the Griffith Park, all the way up to the Griffith Observatory, this is a great place to make a stop and enjoy good pastries and coffee. It is usually pretty crowded but, be patient - it’s definitely worth your time. For a quick rest, enjoy the sun in the garden in the back.

We got one vanilla latte and two chai lattes and they were amazing. The area was clean and the atmosphere was calm and relaxed. The ladies in the shop were so friendly and made amazing drinks

Rustic hidden gem with delicious coffee (whether iced or hot) and even more delicious apple pie that melts in your mouth. Very pleasant picnic tables you can sit at to escape the heat of summer... as you contemplate about ordering seconds on the pie slice.

We love this place. It had been a favorite stop with the kids when they were young after a beautiful stroll through Ferndell. We hadn’t been there in years and it did not disappoint. The baked goods, the lemonade, the avocado sandwich and snakedog (an all beef hotdog, wrapped in a flakey pastry). Just a minutes long walk from the bustling streets of LA and your transported away to Big Bear or some other mountain retreat, but with the kind of top notch little trays you’d expect from some of the Los Felix eateries a stones throw away. Whether you are finishing your journey here, spending some time with the kids at the adjacent playground, or taking the short trail up to Griffith Observatory, it’s well worth the stop!

We love this place. At the foot of the Ferndell observatory loop it offers healthy sandwiches fresh lemonade and some tasty snacks. On hot days there's usually a line and they're not open Mondays. But they're definitely dog friendly with the water bowl and treats at the window if you ask - or your dog asks. We've seen this place transition over the years and it is really become a nice place to sit out and enjoy the park at one of the picnic tables, up in the hay Circle or just under the trees. Nice friendly people too. But shhhh. Or else it will be overrun with tourists

Amazingly good coffee and pastries for a trail side cafe - lavender flavored baked goods are fantastic. I would have come here more if I’m local. Staffs are friendly and patient - seemingly all well educated local college kids. I chatted with a local customer here and she said this is the best local place for coffee and food near Griffith.

Always great for a morning walk and a yummy muffin and then sit in the woods to enjoy. Lots of picnic tables for sun or shade. Very busy on weekends so plan ahead. Great treats and service.

Fantastic little coffee booth with a few outdoors sitting. I had a wonderful lavender and chocolate scone, as well as coffee and a granola cup, after a long hike to the Hollywood sign. Definitely was a lovely pick-me-up after walking. The vibe there is really great, just under the tall trees.
