The Peacock Cafe at The Arboretum — Restaurant in Arcadia

04.10.24 My second time at LA County Arboretum and it's just absolutely beautiful place to visit. The Peacock Cafe is a perfect place to take a break. I had the burger and fries lunch - so yummy! I think this cafe is a great addition to the arboretum because of the very good quality and taste of food. Good enough on the number of selection to choose from. The staff are welcoming and provide pretty good service.

I'm not sure if the two peacocks that graze the cafe know that they are considered to be permanent live entertainment for cafe goers. They sure make the cafe a pretty good place to hang out and they do put on pretty good show.

LA County Arboretum is a must visit - I suggest calling first to find out best time of year to visit. It's mating season for peacocks so you'll see a pretty good show with males doing their best to attract the female peacocks.

There is a tram to tour the arboretum. I highly recommend paying for the tram to see the whole place first as there's pretty good information...

The Peacock Cafe has a beautiful view of the Arboretum and features indoor and outdoor seating.

You’ll be sure to see some Peacocks there! We had fun trying to take pics of them and they would walk and turn around. You’d have to wait for them to turn facing you.

They have breakfast and lunch items such as Breakfast burritos, French toast, yogurt parfait, sandwiches, salads, hamburger/cheeseburger with fries, grilled cheese sandwiches, iced coffee and more. Some items are in their grab & go packaged refrigerated section.

We tried their breakfast burritos, cheeseburger with fries and iced coffee. The breakfast burrito is tasty and filling. I would have liked more than one small green salsa. They didn’t haven’t any more available. I couldn’t believe it! Most places give you multiple salsas. The cheeseburger with fries was yummy. The customer service could have been friendlier.

You can eat in their lovely indoor or outdoor dining areas. Or bring a blanket, grab some food and...

I LOVE this sweet little cafe! I'm thinking about buying a membership at The L.A. Arboretum just SO I can come here for lunch or coffee whenever I want! The place is small; the menu is limited, but for me, it's all about the views! And oh, does this place have THE VIEWS!! It's also got WiFi if you need it, and A/C - which we definitely need in the Summer & Fall!

I do MISS the former "Self-Serve" bar with extra mayo, mustard, plasticware, etc. I was chagrined to have bought a sandwich, taken it outside to a table, then having to wait in line (AGAIN) just to obtain these things my sandwich needed. But I've had lunch off their grill before, and it was always delish!

I as glad to see they've re-opened the inside for dining, as we'll all be needing that as soon as...
