Love this place! Great food/coffee/service. As others have mentioned, this place is a hidden gem

Redwood tree growing in the middle of Treehouse Café.

They have the smoothest coffee I've had in a long time. I had a mocha and I didn't need to add any cream or sugar to it--it was already perfect. They have plentiful indoor seating, plus some outside. Parking is super easy. The most remarkable point is the twin-trunk redwood tree--a real tree!--growing in the middle of the restaurant. How cool is that?!

Delicious Breakfast Burrito and great Iced Green Tea Latte for an late morning/afternoon pick me up! It's so nicely decorated inside and staff is so welcoming.

I'm a Boulder Creek local and hate to bash on something so close to home, but Treehouse, you need to be better or you're not going to last. I had a meeting in 30 minutes up the road so I thought I had time to grab a breakfast burrito--nope, took 20-25 minutes to cook up those microwaved eggs. I was late to my meeting. That's not the worst part, the burrito was an absolute disaster. I order the veggie burrito and the barista asked I want want avocado and sour cream. I said sure that sounds good. The posted $8.75 price on the board jumped up to almost $13-- after top was close to $15. I understand that up charge for a ocado as they are not cheap, but $6 for avocado and sour cream? Yikes. That's not all-- the avocado was ROTTEN in multiple bites. See photo for example. Gag inducing. The tomatoes were also not fresh and I can't stand tomatoes (my bad for not saying not tomatoes as I didn't notice they were included). Btw, who the hell puts tomato in a breakfast burrito?! Yuck. There were also RAW WHITE ONIONS and cheese that was not melted at all. Long story short: I was late for my meeting, gagged on rotten avocado and unmwlted cheese, and the cherry on top? The sour cream they charged me for was not out in the burrito! Sorry Treehouse, I think that's the last straw. Jenna Sue's down the street is way more busy for a reason. I hope you improve and take the time to make sure you don't put brown avocado on people's breakfast knowingly. It's bad enough for a perfect avocado to jack up the price let alone a rotten one without the mark up for the non existent sour cream. 2 stars instead of 1 because I don't have it in my heart to be that mean to a lacoal business. Also, can you serve something other than Santa Cruz roasting coffee, please?

Breakfast bagel sandwich and an Irish creme cold brew made the day! Service was good and the lady at the front was very friendly :)

"The Bob" sandwich.. so good!

Always enjoy going here for great food, excellent coffee, & terrific staff! Friendly and inviting, cozy and woodsy. This is my go-to spot when I want food, coffee, or great conversation. Love this place!

First time trying this spot. My husband went to go and get it and once I opened up my sandwich there was a BROWN HAIR in it! Does the workers wear hairnets? WOW. beyond disgusted. Not ok! I hope they see this!

Great local affordable art!

We stopped here for breakfast to go and had great food and great conversation with the friendly staff. I enjoyed looking at all of the art and hearing about kindness, resiliency, and community during and since the horrible fires that ravaged the area a year ago. I highly recommend a visit. The community could use the support after battling the fires and COVID-19.

Iced quad Oatmilk mocha
The C.

Got an iced quad Oatmilk mocha from here. It was very good. They do use Ghirardelli mocha sauce, which I often find is too sweet, but this was good. Would definitely return. Service was excellent. It's really cool inside, with a tree growing through the building (building built around tree most likely). Neat mountain cafe.

Long wait times for food even though they're almost empty.
Bhavesh S.

Good coffee, extremely slow food workers. Baristas and food cooks should have communication between them. I ordered 2 mochas and 2 avocado toast with no veggies, so it was just bread and avocados. My coffee were ready in under 5 min and then I waited another 7-10minutes for 2 avocado toasts while coffee were just sitting on the counter. Result? Warm coffee (not hot). This is something that they can improve by implementing additional training. Their coffee was really good, we loved it. It's just the service that was sub par.

Plenty of parking

The restaurant is set in a semi-residential area within a converted house. The interior is cozy,…read moreCLEAN, and comfortable. The exterior has been renovated recently to not only expand seating (because of local popularity), but also allow for a semi-enclosed patio area, with heat lamps galore, and a tent drape to change the space as needed. I most recently ate here on Valentine's Day (2026). It was a busy night, but the service was (and has been consistently) excellent. The drinks are delicious, and since it was a busy night, my spouse & I doubled up on our drink orders to reduce wait time later. #protip #yourwelcome. The vibe is chill, and you need not be in a hurry while enjoying time at Aroma. We had calamari (YUM-so fresh) & coconut shrimp (always order 2- because YUM). For mains, we ordered the lasagna and salmon. We shared and had no regrets. The pasta options here are so hard to choose - I want all of them. The short rib tortellini are SO GOOD. We ordered dessert to go (cheesecake & chocolate mousse cake). On the evening, there was live music, which was very enjoyable. There isn't exactly space to dance out of the way of the service staff, but that doesn't stop the locals.

Ordered that fajitas and they don't give you enough tortilla to finish the meal. When I asked for more server gave an annoyed look and said well that's an extra charge, Took 15 min to finally cash out and the husband was late getting back to work. We paid cash and she seemed annoyed when j said I needed change. Like what expect when I hand you $80 on a $55 bill?? Then the icing on the cake heard her berate an elderly patron sitting next to me when she complained she didn't realize the taco she ordered was so small.Her exact word "Well what do you expect for $5". Completely rude server and false advertising on the menu options.

This is my go-to door dash place when I'm at work near by in Palo Alto. Their salads are…read moreconsistently fresh and filling. I especially like Samurai Steak salad but sub with chicken. It has a good amount of toppings, various textures, and the dressing/sauce is delicious. But today I tried the build your own salad and I was not disappointed! You can add 1 protein and 4 toppings (including avocado) all for ~$17. The salads are a good size when you order to-go, but I feel like they give you more when you order it to eat there in their big reusable wooden bowls. I also really like to order their homemade lentil soup and bone broth, plus their focaccia bread is a must-order for all meals when I eat here! This location is actually inside "State Street Market" which is a food hall in downtown Los Altos that also has a Penny's Ice Cream that is perfect for dessert after your salad (it's all about balance!). The market has a big free parking lot in the back so it's easy to find a parking spot to stay and relax inside the food hall.

I want to apologize to the guy with the goatee and mustache--I asked him to toss my salad and…read moreremove *some* of the cranberries, because there was a huge handful ...and he clearly wasn't very happy about it. He insisted on making a whole new salad, but I said "no don't do that." ...Not sure if he was just having a bad day, but the interaction felt a bit ...unfriendly. Anyway, four stars for the salad...

Insanely expensive for some discolored iceberg lettuce for a salad and mushy corn. The wait time we…read morewere given was 25 minutes for a half sandwich half salad dish. The sandwich was supposed to be warm and when we went in there approx 10 minutes before the recommended 25 the order was already ready, waiting and cold. If we'd waited another 10 the bread for the sandwich probably would have been soggy. But good for them time wise getting it done.... If you want something cold/room temp. The sandwich was sad. Maybe a spoonful of chopped chicken on it. Maybe would have fed a toddler but not an adult ordering it. The good thing I can say was the chipotle sauce was good. We definitely were bummed we waisted our money knowing we could have made it better and fresher for cheaper.

"Spread" with unnaturally mint green substance on center of bread slices, bacon had to be cooked further at home. One sandwich was cut in half, other was not. One had one single slice of tomato, the other had diced tomatoes. Got a plate for my baby with "crispy" chicken that was not crispy and cold. Just super super disappointed and wish for either the employees to actually out in some effort or for people to just not waste their time.

Saladworks - The container isn't even full. Literally below the presumed fill line. More toppings than greens. Small portion.
