Lovely place to enjoy the garden. It can be either as a break while walking , or (as a member) I can stop by for a quick visit as it is the nicest place for a snack anywhere close by read more

We wanted to grab some food at the Arboretum and saw they had a small cafe. Guarded by a few peacocks out front, it's no wonder they call it the Peacock Cafe. I was surprised that the food was actually pretty good, especially for a restaurant inside a botanic garden. These are the items I tried: Hamburger & Fries - A classic, and they actually made it really well. Sauced up and seasoned nicely. I'd rate this better than some fast food joints. Solid crispy fries. (4.5/5) California Melt Sandwich - This would be a 5/5, but the second half of my sandwich had really dry chicken that was almost inedible. The flavors were good though. For the half where the chicken was moist, it was a solid sandwich. (4/5) Baldwin Grilled Cheese Sandwich - This was a loaded grilled cheese and it was delicious. Basically a classic grilled cheese with bacon, tomatoes, and avocado. It wasn't too heavy or greasy, and I would get this again. (4.5/5) If you're looking for a quick bite at the Arboretum, this place is definitely worth checking out. The food came out in under 10 minutes and the scenery with all the peacocks around was awesome. read more

This is well located between the entrance and exit to the Arboretum. There's a nice selection of cold sandwiches and hot sandwiches heated by oven or microwave. A hamburger and fries starts at around $15 and up. If you're hauling little kids, this is probably the best way to feed hungry kiddos. read more

Visitation Rights: Been to this shop about a handful of times. Restroom: Not in the shop, but there's a restroom area not to far from the place Credit Cards: Credit cards are accepted Location/Parking: Located in the Aboretum. Only way to patronize the shop is only if you have a ticket. Parking can be found in the private lot of the Aboretum. Ambiance/Decor: Neat wooden interior with AC. They also have an outdoor patio to get some sun rays and to look at the male peacocks shake their tailfeathers. Service: For the most part, staffers provide pretty good service and food doesn't take long to get to our table. Food Of Choice: I usually get the Baldwin Grilled Cheese Sandwich (avocado, tomatoes, applewood smoked bacon) and the California Melt (grilled sourdough bread, muenster cheese, lettuce, tomato, mild ortega chili, and char grilled chicken breast. Sandwiches are good, but a bit pricey, but I totally get why they charge those prices. Peacock Cafe For Thought: Wouldn't mind grabbing a snack to use the AC in the shop. :) read more

The Thai noodles were so delicious do not skip these! The sandwiches from the fridge were decent and had a generous amount of meat which was nice. The cashier was very friendly and helpful, she actually recommended the Thai noodles and I'm so glad she did. We sat outside with all the peacocks which made it such a nice experience. We will definitely return on our next arboretum trip! read more

This cafe is located inside the Los Angeles Arboretum near the front entrance. You may ask, "why is it called Peacock Cafe?"...the peacocks like to wonder around the patio while you are eating. *They are harmless...this is an every day occurrence here:) They offer plenty of inside & outside seating serving breakfast and lunch only. They have "to go" sandwiches & salads, as well as made to order items. I was a little bummed that they stop serving the "Breakfast Burrito & French Toast," after 10:30 am. I went with an Asiago bagel and my friend ordered a burger w/fries & an ice tea. We were both satisfied although we wanted the breakfast burrito. It was nice to sit outside while we ate surrounded by all this beautiful nature. read more

More Offerings than grab-to-go at this cafe on-site just beyond the entrance to The Arboretum ( County of Los Angeles) I ordered a chicken melt sandwich. It was freshly grilled, with a good size piece of chicken breast, a slice of tomato, fresh leafy lettuce and a thin slice of grilled jalepeno. That pepper is what gave the melt a surprising pop of flavor! Not to miss is the French fries. They are light and crispy. So yummy! Order at the counter and your food is delivered to the table ( either inside or outside patio). Outside dining is perfect on a warm, sunny day to view nature and the peacocks. read more

Peacock cafe is my go to place when When it comes to breakfast Burritos! It is only available unti 10:30. Honestly and from my perspective this is the BEST! It has the right proportion of egg, potatoes and bacon. Their salsa Verde gives the right kick to the flavorful Burritos.I always crave their Burritos .They have many delicious food in their menu. They also have available ready made sandwich, croissants, Bagels, salads and desserts too. I love also their freshly baked cakes, danish pastries, scones and cookies. They have fresh juice, coffee, and fresh fruits, snacks, and ice cream. The coffee shop is always neat and decorated for the seasons. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. I love Peacock cafe, their food is really great and delicious . I am always there whenever I go to the LA Arboretum. read more

How fun to eat at the Peacock Cafe while the Peacocks walk by your table. If its a hot day, I would recommend eating inside though. The food is fresh and priced fairly. Its a walk up counter but the staff is nice and helpful. They keep it very clean inside. Good place for a cold lemonade after walking the Arboretum. read more

This place has an amazing selection of food all the food is great but you need to get rid of the flies. There were at least 39 flies in this establishment. Service were great but all the flies buzzing in your face while you eat takes away from the environment. Which makes it look dirty when ik it's not read more

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 have a picnic. read more

Food was pretty good but there were four or more employees that were more concerned about tasting beverages than cleaning very dirty tables and chairs. read more

Walking along the gardens of the Arboretum, I saw the Peacock Cafe. It has the perfect name, as peacocks roam about freely. The location is great for anyone needing a cold/hot beverage or meal. There are ready-made sandwiches and salads to buy without waiting for a special order. If you choose, though, you can order a freshly made breakfast burrito, juicy hamburger, or soup and salad. There are good choices of juices soft drinks as many may be thirsty from touring the Gardens. There is seating indoors and outside with good views of the scenic area. Come and spend some time in the beautiful surroundings and take a break in the Cafe. Don't forget to tell 'em Rosemary sent ya! read more

Beyond burger is delicious. Peacock outside really wanted my husband's fries so we moved indoors. The fries were really good so I get it

Small cafe with spacious seating in the outdoor patio, with some indoor seating as well. Got the Passionberry iced tea which is refillable at $3.86 which would be the same for a single bottled Pure Leaf. Service was quick and friendly. BTW: Careful not to feed the peacocks!! Free parking right in front of the Arboretum. read more

Ordered the seasonal fruit for $6.50 (3.5/5): pretty expensive for fruit and the cantaloupe and honeydew were not very yummy but the watermelon and pineapples were super sweet and juicy which was perfect after a long hot day walking around the Arboretum. Overall (3/5): Closed at 4pm which felt a bit early considering it would have been nice to be able to relax inside for a bit longer after such a long hot day. Lots of other food and beverage options that are all relatively marked up which is kind of expected but still unfortunate since the Arboretum doesn't allow outside food which makes this the only option. read more

The restaurant has a nice outdoor patio to sit and eat and enjoy views of the park and peacocks. Friendly staff and pretty reasonably priced. I tried the breakfast burrito and a salad. Both were delicious. The breakfast burrito comes with a tasty green salsa that's not too spicy. read more

I have been to this cafe many times. Everyone is so helpful and kind. The food is amazing too. The breakfast burrito is the best I have ever eaten! Where else can you go to enjoy a lovely breakfast with the incredible Peafowl. They always want my breakfast, so I have to remind them--NO, NO beautiful peacock...Thank you all for the wonderful service. I can't wait to come back again soon! LOVE THE ARBORETUM and the fun Peacock Cafe. read more

Peacock Cafe - Breakfast Burrito YUM - American Near Me - Arcadia, California

I was curious about this cafe on the day that my BFF and I were looking for a place to have brunch and it turned out to be inside The Arboretum! YOU HAVE TO PAY ENTRANCE! $15 each! We didn't turn our back since we were set to eat there already. It's a fast food kinda-thing. They have pre-made food and made to order food. It was ok. The only special thing about it is, the peacocks roam freely next to you, hence, the name. I was a bit disappointed since I was expecting a sit-down cafe and all, no it wasn't. It's a park cafe. But the food is good, fresh and the staff are friendly. read more

So thankful there was an air conditioned area to stop and take a break, after a few hours of walking about the Arboretum itself. Lots of cold drink choices in standing refrigerator cases, plus cold prepared sandwiches and wraps. There was coffee service but no ice slush drinks - there was a group of schoolchildren on a field trip today so they must have used it all up! My daughter and I split a Snapple, egg salad sandwich and rice pudding. I enjoyed the food, and the break from the heat. Bonus: a peacock was perched on one of the trees just outside. read more

this little place is in the arboretum, so you need entry through the gates to access it. Kind of a hole in the wall shop. Order at the counter and take a seat inside or one of the tables outside. Beware, lots of peacocks will come around your food if you sit outside. Nice place to hang out though. Food is nothing spectactular. About the level of stuff I would expect at a train station or something. Not terrible. People are friendly. Prices are kind of high for what you get, but its the arboretum, so what do you expect... read more

Super convenient and yummy cafe located inside the arboretum. They have options for full meals, sandwiches, coffee or lighter snacks. I especially love their sandwiches! They're made to order so expect a bit of a wait during lunch hour. Price is fair as well. Lots of options for kids too! If you decide to eat outside, watch out for the peacocks trying to steal your French fries. The cafe definitely earns its name. read more

Amazing fun place! I would highly recommend to go here before a walk through the gardens or just because

Food was delicious! We came for a retreat. Amazing with all the peacocks wandering around.

We got it to split as a snack halfway through our park visit. It held us over until we left the park for lunch. We were there for about 5 hours. Tortilla chips, nacho cheese, grilled chicken, corn, onion, and a chipotle drizzle. Not bad. This was one of the specials that day so not sure if they have it normally. You order inside and bring your number to you table. They bring out your order when it's ready. I suggest sitting in the outdoor dining area. We saw a a couple peacocks pass through while eating. They also like to perch in the nearby trees. read more

Food is decent, but is expensive, like every other place. People are nice, and helpful. And its locate near the entrance, by the library. My only issue is, there have been signs posted to not feed the animals, and people do. And no one goes to let those people know, that there is no feeding of the animals. It used to be, you could bring in a loaf of bread, literally any size loaf, and you could sit there all day, just to feed the geese, ducks, fish, and turtles. But those days are unfortunately long gone, more for the animals safety than anything else. read more

Always a pleasure to visit the arboretum. They have significant remodeling of the visitor center in progress. Didn't deter the many of us that showed up as soon as the sun came out. Place is small and staff is helpful but a bit understaffed so expect a slight wait. The selection of grab and go items s decent. The kitchen menu seems to have a large variety which may be contributing to slower service. read more

I think they need to make it clear, you need to purchase a ticket or have a membership to enter this facility.

All I have to say is the Peacock cafe at the Arbo is the best spot in town, food is always fresh and there isn't a better setting to enjoy your meal, staff is courteous and welcoming and as I mentioned the food is amazing, if you in Arcadia, the Peacock Cafe is a must and tell them that Jay, sent you. read more

Great place to have lunch when visiting Arboretum The food was tasty, and we sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. Just be careful of the Peacocks they want your food! https://www.instagram.com/reel/CvjIOoIAkkc/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== read more

WOW! What an amazing experience! This is located inside the LA Arboretum so you will need to pay for tickets to go inside but it is so worth it! You will be able to sit with many peacocks and enjoy the view, outside scenery, and your food. You may be greeted by a peacock by the door and blocking the entrance but it's a great sight to see! The cafe is from 9-4 pm with outdoor seating. We ordered the veggie burger with fries, coffee, hamburger, and the sourdough chicken sandwich. They were so delicious!!! Oh my, it was tasty and the veggie burger- I could not stop eating that! The fries was so crispy and soft on the inside. THE BEST FRIES THAT I HAVE EVER HAD! I would def go back! And, this is the only location to eat something ;) read more

Not an extensive menu, but good and fairly priced for what it is. A fun place to recharge after a long walk with a toddler.

The environment and atmosphere is terrific and the food is better than I expected for an Event space café. It's better than just going to the same old restaurant for a meal. We'll enjoy an afternoon in the gardens and stop in Peacock Cafe for a tuna sandwich and salad or burger & fries. read more

Amazing service, great food. It's rare to find great food at a park cafe but I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of everything I got. Ambiance is beautiful and peaceful, peacocks walking around the patio while you eat is so fun to watch. I got a fruit cup and everything in it was ripe and sweet, even the watermelon. The sandwich I got (California melt) had very fresh ingredients. I swear I'm leaving this review with my full integrity. The only reason I give this 4 stars is the coffee was not great, it's premade (out of a machine). If the owners decided to get an espresso machine and did in-house fresh coffee and tea, maybe got some baristas in there for some lattes (because I'm a coffee girl) I'd easily give it five stars. It'd generate more money for the Arboretum too. Nonetheless, everyone working Saturday morning around 10:30am was absolutely amazing and had great people skills/customer service. read more

I ordered a grilled cheese sandwich and it was flavorless white bread so egg American cheese on it. Really gross, and it cost $9. I'm still mad about it hours later. I expected so much better. I go to the arboretum a lot, I have a membership, but this was my first time eating there and I guess my last. I think the county should get someone in the restaurant who can make some decent food, it's worth the money. read more

I dined this past Saturday at the Peacock Cafe during my visit at The Arbortem. I had a California Melt Sandwich and a hot chocolate. The sandwich was of good quality and was delicious. I did not like the hot chocolate as it did not have much taste and appeared to be watered down. The staff at the cafe were friendly. The service was good. read more

Good selection of items, but just don't try to grab a meal too late into the afternoon. We showed up mid afternoon, and most of their items were sold out. So, no baguette sandwich :( Oh well. The grill items on the menu took a while, but it was to be expected. Also, no wine, beer, or cheese plates. Those would've been nice while staring at the lovely peacocks on the terrace. read more
