Tickle Tree Café — Restaurant in California

I write for a music and coffee blog called Crooners In Coffeeshops, in which I interview local musicians at local coffeeshops. My writeup reflects the positive experience that I encountered at Tickle Tree on our interview date.

Located in the heart (and heat) of the valley lives Tickle Tree Café, a cozy spot that is equal parts adorable and mouthwatering! From classic coffee options to scrumptious fan-favorites, locals and visitors alike should have no problem finding the perfect combo of food and drink. I went back to my college fave, the Americano, but opted for the iced version with soy milk and a significantly less amount of sugar. Had I not have already eaten before I got there, I so would have devoured one of their appetizing looking brunch options. Now, apart from a great menu, what makes this shop special is its overall atmosphere and design. From the moment you even step into the parking lot, you can just tell that you will have a pleasant experience, and their wonderfully happy staff is a great group of friendly faces to welcome you for however long your stay may be. Enjoy your delicious noms in the air-conditioned indoor seating area complete with warm neutrals with pops of sunny yellows and aluminum seating, or relax and enjoy the sunshine in their decently sized patio area under the shade of umbrellas that perfectly match the Tickle Tree...

Don’t look for love look for Tickle Tree Café. Tickle, tickle, tickle! Ok, let’s start this review. Tickle Tree Café is a small corner all day café that serves breakfast and lunch sandwiches. They’re located at Foothill blvd and Dyer st in La Cresenta-Montrose. Indoor atmosphere was cool and emits a positive chi. It’s less spacious compared to their outdoor patios. I perused their food/drink/coffee menu and it barely tickled my innocent mind. To put it mildly their food/drink selections were limited. I came here on a blazing hot Thursday afternoon and ordered a Tuna Melt with salad and mint Lemonade for lunch. Their Lemonade (20z) was cold and refreshing. Similarly, the Tuna Melt was warm, thick and tasty. It was so good my medulla oblongata was tickled like how a woman tickles her bf. Anyway, I’m neither here or there let’s get back on this review. Salad was fresh. Service was fast and on point. The server guy has an alto voice when he calls your name out LOUD so loud you may hear it across the street. Prices were slightly expensive especially the food but the quality is superb. Free Wifi and parking available albeit very small lot. In this voluminous review, it’s time time to make a conclusion about this café. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and food/drink. Therefore, I highly recommend this lil cute...

we walked in and there were 3 employees behind the counter and another walking in and out of the dining area. they helped the customer that had come in before us and at no point did any of them say hello. i said excuse me, do we order and then sit down? and no one responded. the customer who was helped before us looked at me and just shrugged. i said excuse me again and then all 3 employees looked up at me and just stared. i asked again if we order then sit down and girl at the register didn’t even say anything, just nodded her head. while the other two immediately went back to what they were doing.

we turned around and just walked out. out of all employees in a tiny space no one ever. ordered to say hello or say anything at all. i’d rather goto starbucks.

and the view? not worth it, you get a view of the street. if you’re talking about the top of verdugo mountain.. you can get that view eating literally anywhere in la canada.

don’t waste your time or money at a place that barely acknowledges you and still expects a tip with...
