    First time at this Cafe and it did not disappoint. The vibe, ambiance and being outdoors just makes the experience that much better. Fresh air and the wilderness around what else can you ask for. Food was delicious, my steak was made to perfection how I ordered it and expected. Portion size well it's appropriate for a cafe, more like an appetizer amount personally lol but delicious. Very friendly staff, fast service. Just the flies were non stop but that's not a big deal if you are outdoors. Just would have liked less fly swatting for me personally. Overall very good experience, would recommend to try it at least once. Perfect for a brunch or breakfast date!

    Cafe on 27 was such a lovely experience! The vibes were peaceful and relaxing, with a beautiful scenic view that made the whole visit feel extra special. I also loved the cute little squirrel salt and pepper shakers -- such a fun and charming touch! Definitely make a reservation if you can, because otherwise you should expect a pretty long wait. Parking is valet-only at the restaurant, unless you're willing to park a little farther down on the side of the road near the Flying Pig. As for the food... absolutely phenomenal. I ordered the Pastrami Paradise sandwich, and it was exquisitely delectable. My friend got the Wispy Crispy Chicken sandwich, which was also an absolute banger. Great food, beautiful views, and a peaceful atmosphere -- definitely recommend checking this place out!

    What a cool spot! We pulled up and parking was easy. Valet was $9 or $10. Reasonable for around here. We came during a downpour and the patio was still open, which was awesome! Thank you to the staff for running around in the rain. Service all around was fantastic. The steak hash and tahdig Benedict were fantastic. Don't miss out on their tasty lattes! I enjoyed the chai. I can't wait to go back!

    Alright so I heard a lot about this place and I literally came all the way from LA to try this and apparently its very popular since we came on a super hot Sunday afternoon and there was a line. We were initially told it would take around 30 minutes for a table of 2 but we got it in around 15 minutes which isn't too bad. Protip: don't pay for the valet parking since you can park on the street for free (I hope that was legal, but thats what I did and saw a bunch of other cars do). In terms of the menu, I was a little surprised by their coffee menu since it didn't seem to have anything super super special. I got a Mocha and my wife got a latte and it wasn't anything super special. But kudos to them since I did ask them for my mocha to have light ice which they actually did which is kind of rare. The prices were pretty steep. We got the Salmon Avocado toast and they have a deal where you can get a second piece of toast for 50% off so we got that to share and it was actually phenomenal 5/5. Really good flavorwise and would get again for sure. Very aesthetic too. But what people really come in here for is the view and they definitely had that. We had this super nice and aesthetic view. You do have outside seating so just keep that in mind, and there were some flies around, but overall very aesthetic and nice place with a flower on the table too. Overall: pricey, the coffee meny/flavors could be more exciting especially for a Cafe, toast was really good, and its super aesthetic. But not sure if its worth the wait/drive.

    Beautiful brunch spot in Topanga! The scenic views are calming and help you breakaway from the chaos of normal life. Mimi the restaurant cat was the cutest and made our brunch even better as she was napping right above my group of friends. It does get quite busy and packed on weekends I would highly recommend reservations. Overall the staff here are all so friendly and sweet! The iced coffee was tasty and quite enjoyed the food as well! Beautiful outdoor space that's a combination of peaceful and aesthetic. The bathrooms are located close to the shops on the right hand side. As for parking there is valet parking for a fee or you can park off to the side of the road!

    Crispy chicken sandwich. Not crispy At All.

    Location is beautiful with a very natural and relaxing atmosphere. The indoor and outdoor décor is definitely the highlight of this restaurant. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the setting. I ordered the $27 crispy chicken sandwich, and it was disappointing. I expected a crispy, crunchy chicken fillet, but it wasn't crispy at all. The fries were also very basic just salted. Overall, the ambiance is excellent, but the food is not.

    Beautiful location for a bite. Service was wonderful. Some quirky interior decorations that made the experience feel cozy. I tried their pastramk sandwich and their 27 burger. Both dishes were filling and had good flavor. I will say for the price of a burger with fries ($33), pastrami Sandwich w/ fries ($27) plus 2 orders of their non-alcoholic lemonade ($6/each) including a tip came out to nearly $100 felt pretty steep! The burger was filling but nothing memorable. The pastrami sandwich...I've had better. The lemonades were good but not worth $6/ each and should have been brought to you in a glass cup for that price. Crossing Cafe on 27 off my list.

    This place is such a gem!! It feels like a restaurant in a treehouse. So many areas for seating, every corner you turn it feel like there's more and more areas with tables. Perfect place to take out of towners too! You can look out onto scenic greenery, and it's just the perfect place to unwind. I ordered an iced matcha latte and it honestly wasn't the best. And I'm a huge matcha lover. For food, I got the disco club sandwich, without realizing it comes on glittery blue sourdough haha. It was definitely a fun one to look at and take pics of, but the flavor was just OK. Next time, I'd get something else. Definitely not inexpensive too, the sandwich was $27. But I feel like when you come here, you're paying for the vibe and ambiance. Also a bit annoying that they charge for parking knowing that it's such a popular spot, and it's also a tough street to park on. Don't come expecting incredible food but definitely come for the treehouse vibes! The service is good here too, quick! There's also a cute little boutique next door to check out.

    Food was great and the atmosphere was so beautiful our service was the best they were so attentive over everything can't wait to go back and try more items

    Pastrami Sandwhich/French Toast/Steak Hash
    Kiana D.

    From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was peaceful with a beautiful view that made brunch even more enjoyable. The service was friendly, and everything came out fresh. I ordered the steak hash, which was packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. I paired it with a caramel latte, and it was smooth, rich, and not overly sweet. We also shared the French toast, and it was incredible--thick, fluffy, and topped with fresh berries, whipped cream, and syrup. My boyfriend ordered the pastrami sandwich with a vanilla latte, and he really enjoyed both. Everything tasted fresh and was beautifully presented. The views alone are worth the visit, but the food and coffee make it even better. One tip: make a reservation if you're planning to go on the weekend. It gets busy, and reservations are definitely a must! Parking is very limited as well,you can either park off to the side of the road or valet parking cash only for $9 We'll definitely be back. Highly recommend this spot for a relaxing brunch with amazing food and a beautiful setting!

    Vanilla latte

    Cafe on 27th is a great brunch spot. Menu has a variety of options. The view is refreshing and the lattes are great. The service workers are friendly and attentive.

    It's all about the view here, with the canyon and ocean in the distance
    Rachel H.

    Cafe on 27 in Topanga had good food photos online, but mixed reviews. Knowing this, we came for views, and looking back, that's the best reason for a visit. Our wait for weekend brunch was over an hour, but the outdoor seating overlooking the canyon made it worthwhile. It was beautiful and green, especially with a chilly spring fog hanging over the canyon. The food, though, was mediocre. Prices were also high. My eggs Benedict had a heavy, cheese-like hollandaise, all of the fat apparently but little of its traditional buttery richness. The breakfast potatoes were greasy and had a reheated taste. My friend enjoyed her avocado toast, so that may be a better order. The staff is friendly and they work together. Cafe 27 is in a beautiful, natural setting, and coming here is all about that view, so be sure to get a seat next to the canyon.

    Probably the most picturesque place I've been to while enjoying a meal (or a treat and a drink) I've ever had in the Los Angeles area. I came in on a Sunday almost a closing and I was by myself. I also had eaten lunch. So my experience here was really just for dessert and a caffeinated beverage. I was seated relatively quickly and the was approached by one of the most friendly waitstaff folks. And since I was alone, I was able to sit along one of the outward facing counters with wonderful view. The ambiance was top notch. I took advantage of a deal they had where if you buy a bag of the coffee beans (I make a lot of my own coffee at home anyway), you get one of the coffee/tea drinks for free! I also ordered a slice of the orange cake based on a rec from my waitress as my treat. Enjoying the slice and beverage by myself really allowed me to just soak in the entire experience and it was a great one. Would definitely love to comeback and try their menu items. I just live pretty far away so I'll have to wait until I visit one of my friends who lives relatively close by. Because of the popularity and the tight, winding road parking nearby can be tricky. They have valet for a fee. I was lucky because since they were closing soon there was a spot in the lot that was out of the valet zone I was able to grab. You can park along the road depending on the space as well if you are willing to do a bit of walking

I was there after sunset so the lights were aglow and canyon sounds were echoing. Seating is outdoors and no matter where you sit, it's the best seat in the house! Wear shoes you feel confident in as there is lots of brick and cobblestone-like paths. If you arrive early there's a small gift store with lots of curiosities from children's books, artisan jewelry, new age crystals, giant chimes, and a small wine cellar. Started a an old fashion that was spectacular! Also had a glass of prosecco that was good but no comparison to the OF! I know, they are entirely different, but if like both opt for the OF! Started with the tuna and it was the best appetizer I've had in a very long time. The green olives made it pop! Moved onto the short rib and the sea bass. The short rib was a winner. Very tender and flavorful. Also ordered the Brussel sprouts and they definitely do it right! If you're a vegetarian, the Brussel sprouts could be a whole meal! It was huge! Sadly the sea bass was a disappointment. I immediately tasted "fish" and it wasn't good. I tried to push through with a couple more bites but the fishy taste was too strong. My companion, however, didn't seem to mind. You'll have to be the judge. Valet parking was only $9 (don't forget to tip). The table service was impeccable. They came at the right times to see what else was needed, refills were topped off, and they never interrupted the conversation or the meal--their timing was perfect. Finished up with ice-cream and a cappuccino. The ice cream had a streusel topping like nothing I've tried before! If cappuccino is your drink, you will be very happy with theirs. Not too overwhelming and the foam was lightly sweet. Delicious! Going back for brunch to see what the day experience is like!

Especially at night when the lights come on, the whole place is a vibe. Perfect for date night, girls' night, or a special occasion. The creamy black truffle risotto is a MUST. Wild mushrooms, aged Parmesan and porcini dust -- creamy, earthy and literally an explosion of flavor. The yellowfin tuna crudo was sooo good and refreshing. The citrusy white ponzu with pickled mustard seeds, cucumber and fresh herbs really elevated the tuna. We also loved the Little Gem Green Goddess Caesar. Perfectly dressed, not overloaded, with Parmesan and brown butter breadcrumbs that added the best crunch. The only thing I personally didn't care for was the bread, but everything else was fantastic. Service was great, valet parking is available, and there's even a cute little vintage shop with books, candles, etc. Definitely coming back to try more of the menu
