I've been going here for over 20 years. The last time I remember being there it could use some upgrades and that was a while ago. Great lil diner. They always have soup and pie available. Deli style meals and decent service. read more

Pros: the vibe is nice; spacious, high ceilings, and chill. There are decent food and drink options, too for lunch or deserts. Cons: the prices! For -~$30 (no tip) for a seemingly fancy drink which was basically an iced latte and an oversized macaroon. $30! Definitely not worth it. Price is so unreasonable, and service and quality of food just average, Starbucks is a better alternative. read more

Coral tree Cafe is a gorgeous restaurant. I love to come here and grab a small bite to eat, an espresso drink, and just relax and read in the gorgeous interior. Every time I've stopped by the staff have been very friendly and helpful. Their lattes are good and they have a delightful assortment of pastries. I've tried their avacado toast however and I don't think it's quite worth the price and some of their items do seem to cost more than they are worth. Their drinks however are always delightful. While the price might not make this a regular place I visit I know if I'm in the mood for a quaint place to relax Coral Tree is definitely on my list of places to stop by. read more

I was looking for a cafe for a quick and satisfying lunch in the SFV and came across Coral Tree Cafe. They have several locations throughout the Los Angeles area and I remembered being in one decades ago. It was late in the day on a Friday afternoon so it was relatively quiet with a nice "woodsy" ambience at this Encino location. You order at the counter from an extensive menu. I decided on their Turkey Melt Panini which came with a mixed green salad. Their iced tea flavors were passion fruit or hibiscus with free refills. Overall, the food was well prepared and service was good. I suspect they do a busy brunch service on the weekend which can get hectic. Parking is limited as they share the lot largely with a Persian grocery store and other small businesses. For a quick delicious lunch during the week, though, Coral Tree Cafe doesn't disappoint. read more

I enjoyed the food I received, but I would not say most of it stood out to me in any particular way. The breakfast potatoes were definitely my favorite part, and probably the main item I would come back for. However, the avocado toast, I thought, was WAY too lemony. That being said, the staff here is very nice and helpful, especially the bus boys. The ambiance here was nice as well. It was very laid back and calm with only a moderate noise level. I plan on coming back, but will most likely get a different main. read more

Came here after finding them on inkind. You order at the counter, pick a table and they bring out your food to you. Our eyes were definitely bigger than our stomachs; we ordered the steak panini, tuna melt, arriabata penne pasta with chicken and a slice of chocolate cake. The steak panini was good but could've had more filling to be honest. Whether a little more steak or maybe some veggies like arugula or something. The tuna melt was good but also felt like it was missing something. Their fries were super crispy and fluffy on the inside but lacked salt. Easy fix but kind of wished they'd been salted/seasoned. The pasta was absolutely delicious! The chicken is shredded so mixed well in to the dish. The chocolate cake was so rich and dense; a cold cup of milk next time for sure lol overall the food was good but a bit overpriced for what we got read more

Wildly overpriced. I live walking distance and it's gotten impossible to justify coming here. The food is bland. This is the valley. You're relying too heavily on those fans. The temperature difference between inside and outside is not significant enough. At best the staff is neutral. They're certainly not offering service that's inline with the price point. There is no part of the experience that makes the price feel worth it. The place has been there all my life but it feels like it's dying. read more

Met up with some friends for breakfast for our annual gift exchange. It was our first time at Coral Tree. The other patrons were mostly elderly or families with kids. We were sat in the back room even though there was plenty of seating in the front room. I found that interesting. The food, in general, was mediocre. My son ordered the Montecristo and didn't like it so he didn't finish it. He said it was lacking flavor. My husband and I ordered the protein power sandwich (egg whites, spinach, turkey bacon, etc). There was potential there, but we also weren't big fans. The coffee was also mid but at least they were great with refilling the tiny mug they serve it in. The service was ok. I don't think I'll be returning due to the food and overall vibe. read more

This place is a complete rip off!! Yesterday I got charged $19 for eggs sausages and strawberry French toast which is what most places charge like &waffles who are ten times better tasting. After I got my first portion being the eggs, sausages and potatoes the waiter then informed me that he messed up and didn't charge me for the French toast but said he would give it to me for free because he messed up. After I was done and leaving he tells me I have to charge you for the French toast !! I'm like wtf??? Not only that the stupid French toast alone was $20!!! Gtfo!! lol!! Seriously?? $40 bucks for French toast two eggs and sausages??? The waiter should have done his job properly and shoukd have told me upfront what my true bill would have been because I would have never paid $20 for the French toast alone!! Plus the French toast tastes terrible!! I hope the manager is reading my comments because I will never go back there ever again!! Even with the 35 percent in kind gift card purchases to offset the high cost it's still a total rip off!! They probably did this on purpose so they can gas light me. Beware of this scam claiming they forgot to charge you then lie to you saying it will be free. Stay away from this place!! read more

Great food great place to hang out with friends or alone and GREAT SERVICE especially by Mekhi he's the best - friendly, professional, polite and a great mile - we love coming here read more

Coral Tree Cafe - Half finished French toast :) - Cafes Near Me - Encino, California

This was a disappointing visit today. The tall young employee taking our order was rude when asked if the mint tea had any caffeine, and was rude when I asked if I could substitute spinach for other greens. She made an incredulous face and then asked the kitchen. Then she told me it would cost $6 more, which is outrageous. This was after they were out of a key ingredient for the first choice I made. I almost canceled our order. Otherwise I love this place. read more

Whether it's my usual side salad or my Avocado toast everything is delicious and made to order. Cute little spot, nice and intimate. Yaretzi always takes my order and makes sure everything is promptly out and correct. She's always smiling no matter how busy it is Brenda is awesome, even with just a simple order she's always back there checking to make sure it's up and being prepared quickly as I work across the street. Ricky is the absolute best! Always helpful, always saying hello, makes sure I have utensils, dressing or anything extra I need. Always nothing but A+ service! I also respect Ricky for speaking up to customers who don't follow the rules and bring in their dogs! Unless it's a service dog there is a patio so no one has to be disrespectful when being told otherwise. I love animals but getting headache with a barking peeing dog is not on my agenda for lunch. Thank you guys you are appreciated!!!! read more

This was an amazing find. My husband surprised me during our anniversary and I loved the ambiance immediately. We went for breakfast and I enjoyed how it's so laid back in the morning, and that we got to choose and seat ourselves. The menu is a bit limited and a little pricey than other places but still this was a good experience for us. Thank you. read more

I'm completely obsessed with their breakfast burrito! So flavorful and add some Cholula and it's *chef's kiss*. The people are always friendly, wait is always manageable and never had a bad thing there. I go occasionally and will continue to! read more

Great environment service is great. Coffee is a must Lots of tables Great menu The parking can be a little challenging because there's several other businesses in the parking lot, but there are some street parking. read more

I absolutely love their iced matcha get it with whole milk it's so so divine and creamy the best I have had for a very long time and not too sweet just right! Also the breakfast burrito I tried it was so good as well! I got with no avocado because I'm allergic but I bet it's divine wirh it if you can get enjoy it unfortunately I can not! But the chicken chorizo was light but very good and their potatoes on the side what a amazing meal and full fills you entire day read more

Food is good but nothing out of the ordinary. The pricing is outrageous!!! Chicken salad for $30 and also not using real Parmesan cheese. For two people we ordered sandwiches , salad and carrot cake it cost $70. Won't be coming back. read more

The Brentwood location serves the best food and matcha. This location on Ventura in Encino has consistently been inconsistent with flavor across the board. It's okay some days and bad other days. One day, I receive a perfectly made drink and food but the next time I order, it's terrible. This location is closest to my house, wish I could love it. read more

Coral tree has good food but i recently tried their avocado toast and it tasted like lemon pledge. i recommend to not add lemon zest onto the toast as it ruins such a simple and easy dish. read more

Love Coral Tree Cafe. The food is always amazing, the prices are solid, and the service is super fast. Everything came out fresh and flavorful, and it's an easy spot for a quick meal that still feels high quality. Definitely one of my go-to places. Would 100% recommend. read more

Coral Tree Cafe - Shakshuka (V), Breakfast Burrito, French Toast - Cafes Near Me - Encino, California

I have been coming here for years and I appreciate their consistency all around. The ambiance is really what I come for, but their food and service get an honorable second. One of my favorite spots to do work outside the home or office. read more

Their location is nice and with a little patience, I was able to find parking in the lot. Their staff are helpful. It was my first time going and I wasn't familiar with the menu or if they bring the food, etc. and they were able to assist. The inside of the restaurant has a forest feel to it and I love it. I ordered the Mediterranean toast and the Staples drink with oranges. It was delicious and I would recommend it 10/10. The serving size is just enough to not feel too heavy after breakfast. It was a perfect balanced meal. read more

So I have been here a few times now because I absolutely love the inside of this place. The high ceiling, the decor, the vibe of the separate rooms to sit. It's just absolutely lovely in here and the first time I walked in, I knew I would be back. However, there are issues. The avocado toast was just bad. No seasoning but somehow drowning in lemon? It was very odd tasting and mind you extremely expensive. I'm actually on the hunt for the best avocado toast in the valley and it ranked last place. The pastries are great; I loved the tart and thought it looked lovely. The coffee is pretty decent as well. The place is unfortunately kind of sweaty? I think a colder temperature would be amazing here. Going here while it's been boiling outside, you do not walk in and go "ahhhh yes" you go "hmmm why is it warm in here?" I do wonder if something was wrong with the ac the few times I went. The staff is super nice. I wish I knew the name of the older possibly Latina woman because she was extremely kind and welcoming and left an amazing impression the first time I came. So yeah. Extremely beautiful place, overpriced and terrible avocado toast, great coffee and staff, kinda musty air. read more

It was my first and likely last visit to this location. We are regular customers of the Coral Tree Café in Brentwood, where we always enjoy the great atmosphere, friendly service, and consistently good food. Unfortunately, this Encino location did not meet the same standard. The café felt damp, the cashier seemed overwhelmed when taking our order, and Ricky, the staff member who brought our food, informed us that our dog couldn't be inside, but did so in a discourteous and unprofessional way. He did not ask whether the dog is a service animal. The interaction felt very unfriendly and hostile. Additionally, the coffee was cold and the steak inside the panini had almost no flavor and was served lukewarm. A Corona ordered and the beer served was a Modelo. When we brought it up, they gave us a Corona. See picture attached. I truly hope management can improve the service and food quality here, because the Brentwood location shows how great Coral Tree Café can be. read more

We used to live in the Valley and Coral Tree was on our regular rotation of brunch spots. So we were delighted to have the chance to go again and remind ourselves why we loved it so much. Everything we've had is good and slightly indulgent. From their coffee drinks (my wife had a Matcha Latte which was beautiful and delicious) to their food (just a side of breakfast potatoes and muffin for me this time around. Both good.) My wife also enjoyed her Farmers Market Vegetable and Eggs. Everything was fresh and tasty and the portion size was perfect. They've got a lot of great options here for vegetarians, indulgent bread-based delights. (nothing for gluten-free folks in that department.) We really like the rustic cavernous atmosphere of the space. Glad to have re-met Coral Tree after a long absence. Maybe they can open up one in the Santa Clarita Valley. :) read more

I feel like they have tried a tiny bit to be more vegan friendly (they are very vegetarian friendly), as they added a vegan bowl at some point since their menu was posted online, but I think they could do more. Like have tofu as a protein option-I dont think thats difficult. I can go to several other restaurants nearby, and for cheaper, get an item with a tofu option. It's disheartening to feel like its difficult to order from their menu. Sure, I can remove the chicken, but then I'm still paying $20+. I cant eat much avocado so thats not a replacement option for me, if thats even a choice. The prices generally are too high for me at this restaurant. Idk, maybe it's bc everything says organic, but that doesn't sway me. But like my friend complained that the diet coke was $5....wow! I will say that the location interior is nice, large. The parking is horrible though and many ppl are sitting there working on their laptops for hrs with just a drink, like it's a starbucks. Its unfortunate if thats why parking is hard to find. Finally, I think their chairs could use some cushioning. I had to bring a cushion with me bc I have back issues and cant sit on their chairs or benches. Generally, if you're vegan, there are better options (coral tree isn't even listed on Happy Cow). Maybe I'll come back if they add a tofu option. read more

I really love Coral Tree Café. They have a quite substantial offering of coffees, teas, smoothies, etc., and everything I've tried has always been great. Everyone working at Coral Tree is also very nice and helpful whenever you need anything. My biggest problem is always deciding what I wanna eat there, since I'm a huge fan of the breakfast burrito, their scrambles, and several of the Panini's. Bottom line is you can't go wrong because the food is fresh and tasty. They also have a nice selection of pastries and desserts, which makes up for the fact it can get a bit warm inside. This is also a great place for meetings with friends, family, or business since there are plenty of tables. read more

First time me and husband went to this coffee shop and I ordered it latte and I told Service make sure not too sweet. When they serve come out the latte taste like a candy drink. I took back I said can you make sure not too sweet . when he takes second out the coffee looks like somebody drinking already not clearn cup top the foam looks like crap I ask him how you take out sweet in side the coffee with our make new one ? look like left over coffee latte and No refill for my husband black coffee and such bad experience. Top that without a serve yet you'll have to pay 20% tips even didn't know good service or bad services . Definitely not recommended this place at all . Waste your money and ruined your morning coffee and breakfast join feelings read more

Very inconsistent. BLT whole wheat---very dry bread. Did not put mayo on it, green salad with no dressing.... I guess you need to ask now? Better yet, they could ask the customer! What a concept!! Won't be back read more

I had such a satisfying breakfast with a tuna salad and French toast that really hit the spot. The tuna salad was fresh and well-seasoned, with just the right balance of creaminess and crunch from the celery. It tasted homemade and light, not overly heavy. The French toast was just as impressive--perfectly golden on the outside, soft on the inside. The combination of savory and sweet worked surprisingly well together. read more

Very generic vibe inside of the place, not a bad thing but something to note. Doesn't feel like an "experience" (can you tell I'm a millennial?) but rather a place to catch up with a friend. Drinks were solid. Only complaint I have is their ordering system or kept radiating an obnoxious, repeating sound (like they have an online order to accept/confirm) and it was extremely difficult to focus or maintain calmness -- It didn't help that the staff took 3-5 minutes to turn it off every time. If you're neurodivergent it will overstimulate you very quickly. 4 stars because I don't think a minuscule detail like that should take away from the friendly service, vast menu, and decent prices. read more

Awful place, the cashier was trying to he flirty, and got an attitude when I obviously did not reciprocate. He got my order wrong, and the waitress got an attitude when I informed her that unfortunately order was incorrect, they remade the order, poorly, and everything tasted overly lemony and weird. I ended up getting sick several hours later as well. read more

Very friendly and fast service. They are very welcoming and helpful here. Plenty of seating and I love the variety on their menu. Their tuna is my go to, I love it as a salad or sandwich. Their drinks are delicious as well. Portions are generous, and the ingredients are high-quality and well-made. Great option for a casual breakfast or lunch in the area! read more

I went to the Coral Tree Cafe for lunch today for the first time. I went to the counter where menus were placed and asked the Cashier about a table. She replied that this restaurant was "Cafe" style and you must come to the cashier to order, pay and seat yourself. She gave me a number and asked for my order. I gave her my order and paid for the meal at the register. She then gave me a number to place on my table. When the food was ready, she gave me the food with one napkin which had a fork and butter knife inside. I ordered the steak panini which was very tasty and a salad with Balsamic vinegar. The steak was very good and the salad tasty but the lettuce was 4 inches long and difficult to eat. The butter knife was not sharp enough to cut the lettuce. Also, the steak had cheese, tomato and avocado in it. The tomato and avocado would have been much better in the salad instead of the panini. The steak was warm which melted the cheese but I do not like warm avocado or warm tomatoes in it. Also, the chairs were as hard as a rock and very uncomfortable to sit on. If I ever return to this restaurant I would order the food to go. The lousy table and chairs they had for patrons was a real turn off! Also, I felt the workers were lazy and only did the bare minimum. So much for "Cafe" style. For the price of the food it was too expensive for literally NO Service.! JB read more

Tried the steak panini, chicken bowl, and a salad here for brunch and was disappointed, especially for the price. Protein portions were small across the board. The steak panini had maybe 3 oz of steak. The chicken bowl had so little chicken that my partner had to ask for an extra portion after it was served. The salad looked like about 2 oz of shredded chicken spread out to look like more. Fries were an extra $3. The food itself was just fine, but the value was not there. Will not be returning though. read more
