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!

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.

Crispy chicken sandwich. Not crispy At All.

Marisca S.

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.

Mackenzie M.

Loved the food, the service was great, but the view was so unique and cool. Make sure you make a reservation a week out at least and sit outside on the patio. Super cool feeling like you're up in the trees of the canyon.

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 was a really cool spot to check out. I got there about 15 mins late so my reservation was given away. The host was very kind though and had me wait another 15-20 mins. While I waited, I checked out the gift shop and got some sunglasses. I learned that the shop is based off of a cat that lives there. We were called and escorted through the restaurant. It was like a beautiful little maze, and I totally forgot I was even in Los Angeles! The views were very peaceful. The service was very efficient and the Kofta recommended to me was the best. The Lobster Benedict was a little too salty for me. I wanted the lobster roll, but they ran out extremely early. The lemonade was delicious as well. I can't wait to come back to this place and try more things as well as buy more quirky sunglasses and gifts from the shop. The cashier was also super nice and cool!

I love the idea of a cafe being immersed in nature. A beautiful spot located in the Topanga canyon region. I ordered their French toast, deliciously sweet, paired along the Moroccan breakfast. All eyes were on the Moroccan breakfast as it comes in a big beautiful plate covered with a lid. I would say this was perfect sweet and savory pairing. Everything was delicious! I had to order their cucumber lemonade to top it off, as it was really hot! Amazing service, beautiful spot, and delicious food. The only thing to be aware is there are ants everywhere, which is to be expected as it is located in the mountains.

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.

Maine Lover's Lobster Roll, Pastrami Paradise Sandwich, Matcha Latte, Cold Brew

Penelope

This is my second time visiting this place and the food certainly did not disappoint. The lobster roll was tasty and buttery, and my friend was satisfied with the pastrami sandwich. However, the drinks were bitter to our liking. The cafe sits on this hill with a beautiful view, recommend to make a reservation ahead of time.

Food was delicious! I ordered the lobster Benedict. Parking is free on the side dirt roads or $9 valet.

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!

I finally made it to Cafe on 27!! I have been seeing it all over instagram and I pass it every week driving the canyon. I have been wanting to visit for the last few years. Well I finally made it to this beautiful magical tree house vibe of a restaurant! I absolutely love the rustic charm of this place. They have it decorated so beautifully with amazing views. When we arrived it was pretty cold for the summer. So to warm up we all ordered lattes. I was pleasantly surprised with how tasty the chai and vanilla latte was. I almost wanted to order another one. The menu was a decent size with lots of options to choose from. What made it more difficult was, you can order breakfast, lunch, or dinner at any time. So my dilemma was what do I order at 9:30 in the morning. I ended up ordering the lobster eggs Benedict with the potato bravas. It was tasty and I loved the crispy seasoned potatoes. I probably wouldn't order again because I want to try more of the menu. I love trying many things and sharing so you can find your favorite dishes. I pointed out the crispy wispy chicken sandwich to my niece. It sounded delicious .... And it was!!! I made her give me a bite. And then our group also ordered the Tuscany toast with pesto and burrata and prosciutto. It was really good. Another shared dish was the Irish Mac Enchiz. It was really flavorful. It was served in a bread bowl. I'm glad we shared this because it's definitely heavy being in the bread bowl. But it was really good with the Gouda, cheddar and pastrami. My friends also ordered different types of waffles and they both loved them. After a beautiful brunch we went and explored all the different terraces and views because it was too stunning not to! I can see myself going back a lot more now and bringing friends to experience this magical place. The only thing I don't like is dealing with the parking on the busy canyon road and how crowded this place can be. I will never visit on a weekend. It gets insane. And the only other downfall is the hour and a half time limit. I'm driving far to come have a leisurely lunch. I don't want to be rushed out. I want to enjoy my time here.

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

The ambiance and view was nice! I started out with a morrocan mocha, it was decent. Nothing to write home about, for $8.00? Not worth it. The presentation was disappointing as there was coffee dripped on the sides on the mug and no latte art, just a blob of steamed milk. As a barista, I know this can add a lot to the experience. For lunch, I got the kofta tagine and the ceramic vessel on top was beautiful. However, I was appalled at the low quality of food. Traditionally, this dish is served as a very flavorful saucy dish with eggs nestled within the sauce all of which to dip your bread into. I was very disappointed when I lifted the ceramic vessel to find 2 sad sunny side up eggs unseasoned and overcooked (chewy consistency) with three meatballs about the size of a quarter in diameter, dry and cold with a few DROPS of sauce on top with a stale baguette thrown sloppily on top. The potatoes were cold and seamed as though they had been pre made sitting waiting to be plated with sparse sauce drizzled atop. The simple lack of care and love in the dish was so disappointing given the beautiful backdrop. The dish alone was $27. I 100% DO NOT recommend this restaurant, at least not the food item I got. I have NO idea why it is so popular on TikTok and Instagram right now other than the beautiful view which is undoubtedly nice. Save your money and go to one of the other many nice restaurants in the area! read more

Hi! The good... the view is wonderful! It's like you're dining on top of The Ewok Village with Wicket and his furry band of pint size rebels! The bad... you definitely pay for it. $21 for french toast. French toast. That's toast... with egg batter in it, people. No bacon, no hash-browns. No sides at all. Just french toast with fruit on top. I get it, like other places with wonderful views (Castways in Burbank, The Standard in L.A., any revolving resturant highrise with a skyscraper) they add/charge you for the "View" as part of the meal... but that's a little steep. The service was OK. The server that was in our section was jogging around trying to get everyone's orders with what limited staff she had helping her. She was incredibly busy so I could completely understand if it took a little longer to get our meal. Just chill and be patient. No biggie. Bottom line, I'm not paying $21 for french toast again... no matter what tree house merriment I get out of it. read more

The stars are for the views and service. The food is good but the star of the show is the ambiance. The first time I visited I got a burger for $24- it was quite underwhelming for a burger of any price honestly. My second visit I got a tuna sandwich for $21- it was okay, not bad at all with some hot sauce. The only thing that blew me away was their Tuscany toast- you get one singular piece for $18 and you can add one more toast for $9. I would definitely order that again. Also their lavender lemonade is very tasty! All in all I would recommend this cafe, just know you're paying for the view and the food may or may not be a home run. I think it's worth it and would go again. Also please bring back the knafeh! read more

Wait times: I really recommend making a reservation, as wait times are incredibly high. We made a reservation and ran a bit late but they were still very accommodating. The man running seating at the front was amazing and made the experience of waiting enjoyable! Vibes: Okay I will say the ambiance is cute. Very nice scenic seating. Lots of cute picture opportunities! Food: The party I was with ordered the Lobster Roll, the chicken pesto panini, short rib, the clam chowder and the chicken. For drinks we got the matcha latte. The short rib was good, the chicken pesto panini had chicken that was a bit dry, the chicken dish was good, and the lobster roll was okay. The food was generally fine. The clam chowder was fine but more potatoes then clam. I recommend the short rib out of the things I tried. The matcha latte was not my favorite and I to try the lemonades but they were out so maybe if I were to come back I would give it a try. Overall it was a decent food experience. 3.5/5 read more

I've been to this restaurant about three times now, March, May and July and each time it didn't disappoint. The ambiance and views are amazing but the food definitely keeps me making the hour journey back. The staff is great and attentive but not over bearing at all. My favorite is the Wafferesso, the waffle is crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. Also love the Patas Bravas with the sauce, these taste just like the ones in Spain. Our family has tried a few other breakfast items and they have been phenomenal. We haven't tried the sandwiches yet, but will definitely try as they lol really good. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a beautiful spot to spend a little time and enjoy incredible food. read more

Love the location and the decor. It's a nature experience , good vibes from the trees and the green on the surrounding. Been her many times, the only bad side is the service, it's going slow to slower every time I go. Weekend are not recommended, you can wait over on hour for your food and over 20 minutes just to order it. On the week days it's a little better but still not a place to go if you are in the rush. You need at least an hour to eat here. But food is delicious and ambience is amazing so worth the wait! read more

We come here a few times a month after LO gets out of school, as it is located just down the street. Parking is convenient, and just off the main road! Which I love. From the minute you enter, you're greeted by a host with warm smiles. The entire staff from host, to server, are all very patient and kind and accommodating - it is truly a warm and lovely energy that sticks throughout the entire experience. Everyone who is there is so warm and smiley and patient. They take the time to engage my daughter, and I can appreciate their level of patience while they wait for her to order herself, lol! The view from the back seating area overlooks the lush green canyons of Topanga. It almost feels like you're in one big treehouse, since it's surrounded by so many trees and is so quiet and calming. I always get the Chinese chicken salad, made up of fresh lettuce and delicious fresh cabbage, with chicken that is juicy, never dry or hard. The dressing is light and does not overburden the natural flavor of the salad..which is great if you plan to take half togo, since the portions are pretty big. My daughter loves the cheesecake and the homemade lemonade / which is fresh and not too sweet. Perfect for any weather. We come here because of its location, but, also because the restaurant feels like a vacation, and, the staff is are so lovely and kind. This restaurant itself is an absolute gem, and I could and would recommend this spot for any lunch-family affair. read more

I got the kofta tagine. It's pretty much eggs, potatoes, meatballs and some sauces. Their best dish supposedly. It was ok. The place has a good ambiance to it. A pretty cool view. But like another review on here said. You're paying for the setting of the place. I waited about 20 minutes to get seated. Watch out because they say they'll text you when you're table is ready but I never got one. You have to be close by where they call out names. I would give this place a solid 6/10.

I had a great morning here this past Saturday. I ordered an iced coffee in the morning and enjoyed the view. The coffee was really good (the barista made a special iced mocha with fresh ground beans, it was really yummy) really gorgeous view and a great start to the day! I went on a hike at one of the local trails, and came back for lunch. I ordered the turkey club sandwich and it was great. The aioli was really refreshing, plenty of avocado, which I'm big on. The prices were very fair, especially for the location. I can't emphasize the incredible view enough. The staff were very friendly and very respectful of covid concerns. I'm definitely planning on coming back on a regular basis, love that I finally found a new spot! read more

Cafe 27 is like a little slice of heaven in mid-pandemic LA. I had no idea that you could feel so remote and at peace just minutes from the city. Food and excellent coffee from Abalona adds to the vibe. I had the eggs Benedict which was perf done with none of the gooey uncooked egg I sometimes find elsewhere. Chef must have perfected this dish a long time ago. Chai latte was pretty sweet too, with a dash of honey to compliment the spice. Everyone who works there is calm and down to earth. Thank god for outdoor dining! It's so nice to have human interaction again. read more

This brunch place has been on my list for a long time. I visited the restaurant this morning and was greeted by a gentlemen with a lovely sense of humor . Walked us to our designated seating area next to the heater lamp. The view was exceptional as well as the decor was just so cute . I couldn't help to look around throughout my breakfast. I grabbed an espresso macchiato and the egg Benedict. My friend grabbed the wafflero and some eggs on the side. The waffles were delicious . read more

Wow. My fiancé wasn't kidding when he said this cafe was amazing... great service, delicious food and a delightful view! The drinks we went for was cucumber mint lemonade and raspberry lavender and let me say it was very much refreshing!. As for the meal we went with The Burger with Patatas Bravas and it was a solid 9/10 but with the best view and the best company there was nothing to complain about. The host and our server were absolutely wonderful and food came in within 15-20 mins. This place is a 10/10. P.s the wait time is a bit long but worth it. read more

The ambiance and views are fantastic. It's a great place to spend the morning. The food was delicious and the service was superb. We walked in on a busy Saturday morning without a reservation and expected to be shamed and turned away. But hostess was very nice and got us a table within a reasonable time.

My bf and I were super excited to go to this brunch place but were unfortunately disappointed. We arrived and were told that we could sit anywhere so we decided on a 4-top. Ten minutes or so after sitting down, the same hostess that told us to sit anywhere came over and asked if we were expecting 2 more (which she knew we weren't), my bf told her no, she proceeded to say something about sitting at a 4-top and he responded saying that we liked to have more space, before leaving she said, "Well today it's fine but ya'know." In my opinion, if something like that mattered she should have sat us where she wanted rather than tell us that we could sit wherever. My bf ordered the clam chowder and holy bendedict, he only really enjoyed the clam chowder. I ordered the salmon toast and it was fine but kind of annoying that the toast itself was cut in half but the toppings over it were not.. just clearly not thought out. Total cost was about $80 without any alcohol (because they don't offer any adult brunch beverages). A bit over priced for what we got and how good it was. Self-parking was $7 which was a slight surprise. To avoid that you can park along the street. To be honest, I will not be returning.. It wasn't worth it.. read more

Food was decent, valet was careless. I came out of the restaurant to my car already being pulled out -never gave them my ticket to retrieve the car. I walk up and see that my hood was damaged significantly and valet had no idea how it happened (clearly someone jumped on the hood of my car). The restaurant refused to send me camera footage so if you don't care about how your car is treated when left unattended with valet then sure be my guest. read more

The jalapeños add a pleasant kick, while the creamy Havarti cheese brings a touch of indulgence. As if that wasn't enough, the secret sauce takes this experience to a whole new level of deliciousness! Served on toasted sourdough bread, every bite is a symphony of textures and flavors that will leave you craving more. To make this culinary experience even better, Cafe on 27 serves the Pastrami Paradise sandwich with a side of their farm blend salad.

Our recent visit to Cafe on 27 was a mixed experience due to evident discrimination. We were a party of six and unfortunately couldn't book in advance since OpenTable only allows reservations for up to four people. We joined the walk-in queue and were told by one of the hosts--a younger guy with curly blond hair--that our table would be ready in about 30 minutes. He even showed us the table we would be seated at on his iPad. However, after waiting nearly 50 minutes, things took a disappointing turn. Just as our table was about to be given to us, a Caucasian family of six (who may or may not have had a reservation) was seated there instead. It seemed like the original host tried to point out that the table was meant for us, but the older host overrode him and even signaled him to keep quiet. This left a sour taste before we even sat down. We were eventually placed at two smaller tables pushed together--not a comfortable setup for a group. On the positive side, our waitress (who had no part in the seating issue) was absolutely lovely--warm, attentive, and respectful. She served us well throughout, and even offered to take a group photo at the end. As for the food, it was hit or miss. The club sandwich and pancakes were mediocre at best, while the Cafe 27 burger was quite good. Overall, I'd give the food a 6/10. The restaurant also has compulsory valet parking at $10 per car. This feels unnecessary since the lot is right next to the restaurant, with no alternative use for the space--guests could easily park themselves. The views and ambience were pleasant but not exceptional. Combined with the inconsistent service and average food, the overall experience fell short of expectations. Final verdict: Great staff (our waitress especially), but mediocre food, unfair seating practices, and unnecessary valet parking make this more of a one-time visit than a place worth returning to. read more

The burger is grass fed beef with thick cut bacon and yummy cheddar cheese. The friend chicken sandwich was delicious with maple syrup drizzle on a bed of coleslaw and pickles. The French fried were fresh cut with ketchup that was obviously made by hand (in the best way possible)! We shared the Persian Lime pie and it was to die for. Rich creamy texture with graham cracker crust. I also had their Cold Brew coffee which was also very tasty. The entire wait staff was absolutely delightful and took very good care of us. When the waitress offers to make a simple syrup for your iced coffee just so you don't have to drink rocks of undissolved sugar in the raw in your iced coffee... they have exceeded all my expectations. The atmosphere is charming and very inviting. Outdoor seating is perfect in the early morning but after 11am you should come prepared with your sunglasses and a hat. We chose to sit inside because the only available outdoor seating was in direct sunlight. Which might have been okay had I not been suffering from the aftermath of Friday night! Located right off Topanga Blvd, this little breakfast/ lunch spot is a must visit if you are in the area. read more

Cafe on 27, located in the heart of Topanga Canyons, offers a unique experience that combines the beauty of nature with delicious food and beverages. The view from this cafe is breathtaking, providing customers with an opportunity to relax and unwind while enjoying a cup of coffee or a meal. The menu at Cafe on 27 is diverse and exciting, with a range of dishes to suit all tastes and dietary requirements. The chefs here are skilled and talented, using only the freshest and highest quality ingredients to create their culinary masterpieces. The presentation of the food is also impressive, with each dish carefully plated and garnished to perfection. Here's what we ordered: * Zizulini Pasta * California Pizza * Butter Citrus Salmon Delight * Grilled Chicken Pesto Sandwich The Zizulini Pasta dish was hands down my favorite! Firstly, the presentation of the dish was visually appealing, with the creamy Alfredo sauce coating the fusilli pasta perfectly. The addition of zucchini and fresh herbs not only added color to the dish but also provided a refreshing taste that complemented the creamy sauce well. The dish was also generously topped with macadamia nuts, which added a delightful crunch to every bite - pure perfection. In terms of the service, the staff at Cafe on 27 are friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The service is prompt and efficient, ensuring that your dining experience is seamless and enjoyable. We cannot wait to come back! read more

Recently had the utmost worst experience at Cafe 27. As someone who has been there many times with my family, I was shocked by the disappointment during this visit. The wait for seating wasn't too bad, but that was the only positive aspect of the entire experience. My friend and I patiently waited twenty minutes just to place our order, despite asking someone for assistance. The lack of attention was evident when we realized that no water cups had been placed on our table. It was only after my friend asked that we finally received them. In addition, we observed new customers arriving and being promptly seated. Not only were they served quickly, but their orders were prepared and served promptly. Meanwhile, my friend and I were left sitting there without food. After enduring this frustration, we waited an hour, hoping someone would check on us or at least bring our order. However, no one showed up, and it became apparent that our presence had been entirely forgotten or disregarded. We felt ignored and disrespected, so we ultimately decided to leave. This entire experience at Cafe 27 was the worst I have ever encountered. The lack of professionalism and care from the person in charge was truly disappointing. What was meant to be an enjoyable dining experience turned into an unforgettable letdown no food was ever brought to our table. read more

I recently went to Café on 27 for brunch, and it was absolutely lovely. We sat on the railing, overlooking the stunning mountain views. However, a word of advice: if you're someone who doesn't like bugs, whether big or small, I'd recommend sitting further inside, as there are quite a few little critters around. I didn't mind them, but I know some people might. It's also much more comfortable sitting at the tables --the sun won't be beating down on you, and it's cooler. Plus, the staff can see you better, so service tends to be quicker. That said, the service was still top-notch. I ordered a burger, but it was way too salty. I brought it to the waiter's attention, and they immediately offered a replacement. What really stood out to me was how they took the time to understand what I didn't like, then confirmed that they shared my feedback with the chef. If you go, I highly recommend the bread bowl. It's absolutely delicious, and the portion is perfect for two people to share as an appetizer. One thing to note: the bathroom line is usually long, so try to go before sitting down to avoid interruptions during your meal. The gift shop is a nice touch, and the valet service was very helpful. I saw them assisting someone with a flat tire, which was really kind. Overall, I love coming here and look forward to visiting again. read more

What a charming brunch spot nestled along Highway 27, offering picturesque views of the canyon! My friend and I decided to go on a Wednesday afternoon. To our delight, there was no wait, and we were promptly seated. The restaurant boasts a variety of seating areas, each offering lovely views of the canyon, making it a serene setting to start the day. For my order, I opted for the burger accompanied by a side of crispy fries and an iced Matcha. The burger was generously sized and quite flavorful. While it was enjoyable, I'd say it fell within the realm of "good" rather than "exceptional." The matcha was very light so I probably wouldn't order that again. It's worth noting that this is the type of place where the primary draw is undoubtedly the breathtaking views, rather than the food itself. While the menu didn't have any standout items that particularly excited me, the dishes were well-prepared and satisfying. In terms of parking, there's a convenient valet option for $7 if you prefer the ease of valet service. Alternatively, you can opt for free parking along the side of the road, either next to or across from the restaurant. So, if you're looking for a serene brunch spot with a view that'll take your breath away, this place should definitely be on your list, even if it's more about the scenery than the food. read more

Me and my man stopped here after a 2-hour hike, excited to finally try this place as a little treat. What a mistake. From start to finish, the experience was a nightmare. The staff was rude, dismissive, and acted like serving us was an inconvenience. It took forever just to place an order, and by the time our food finally came, our drinks had long been gone. When we asked for another round, the server brushed us off with, "I'll call your waiter," and of course, no one ever showed up. Then came the final straw: bugs in our food. We wanted to send it back and order something else, but no server ever came. My man had to wander around the restaurant trying to find someone, and still, nothing. It was like we didn't exist. Finally, we gave up and decided to just pay and leave. And wouldn't you know it the second we started walking out, the server magically appeared, not to apologize or make things right, but to throw the bill at us without saying a single word. And this wasn't even during a rush it was a Monday afternoon, practically empty. No excuse for this level of disrespect and negligence. Disgusting service, disgusting experience. First time here and definitely the last. Do yourself a favor and don't waste your time or money. read more

The prices are high but it's fine since they give a good amount of food but the servers don't properly listen and brought food that wasn't ordered and tried to still charge us. The server also asked if we want salad or potatoes and when we said potatoes he charged us extra without saying anything (and it is not in the menu). And the servers were incredibly rude when we had pointed it out and claimed it's in the menu when it clearly is not. He even saw for himself it wasn't and still continued to have an attitude. It's not even about the money, it's just $4 extra but their attitude even after seeing they were wrong was really something. I should have requested for a return of tip. Lastly, we reserved a seat with a view and we're given a corner with nothing to see but an antique car (and how much can u admire that?). But to be fair, we were 6 people. But they should also not allow us to reserve a spot with a view for 6 people if they don't have it. Either way, the only thing this place cares about is money as even the quality has gone down over time (obviously trying to save money which makes no sense for those prices). I've been going occasionally for about 2 years but sadly it seems that's going to come to an end. read more

During my recent visit to LA, I decided to explore this highly recommended spot, and it exceeded all expectations. The moment I walked in, the ambiance captured me--its exquisite design and atmosphere were simply breathtaking. Despite the bustling street, valet parking made life much easier, ensuring a smooth start to the afternoon. As I waited for my table, I wandered into a delightful gift shop right outside the restaurant. It was the perfect way to pass the time and discover unique little treasures. The Tree House-themed decor was a standout feature, with every detail thoughtfully curated to create an enchanting environment. Yet, it was the Pastrami Paradise Sandwich that truly stole the show. This culinary masterpiece featured generously thick cuts of pastrami, which boasted a perfect balance of firm edges and tender, flavorful meat. Its subtle sweetness was reminiscent of a well-cooked bacon, and the blend of sauces with a runny egg provided a harmonious complement. Each bite delivered a satisfying burst of flavors, making it clear why this sandwich earned its place as our unequivocal favorite. read more

Speaking of the meal, the portions at Café 27 are generous and hearty. It's clear that attention to quality and customer satisfaction is a priority. Each bite was a flavorful journey, leaving me both satisfied and impressed. What truly stood out was the waiter's expertise in recommending a drink to complement my breakfast. Their knowledge of the menu and ability to pair the right beverage added an extra layer of enjoyment to the meal. Overall, Café 27 is a gem in the hills. From the friendly staff and stunning views to the substantial portions and expert recommendations, it offers a delightful dining experience.

Cafe 27 promises a trendy experience, but it delivers more in style than substance--a prime example of form over function. Starting with the basics, parking was a nightmare. The wait to be seated wasn't any better, setting a low bar for what was to come. The ambiance left much to be desired, lacking any of the warmth or comfort you'd expect from a place where you'd want to enjoy your first meal of the day. While the decor itself might catch your eye, the overall feel of the place didn't quite match up, feeling more pretentious than inviting. The food, though artfully presented, was a letdown in flavor--like a beautifully wrapped gift that turns out to be disappointing once opened. Combined with the exorbitant prices, the value just wasn't there. It felt like paying top dollar for a gourmet meal and getting something that is relatively average. Service was the final nail in the coffin. Far from the attentive and welcoming staff you'd hope for, our experience was more akin to "expensive camping," where you're left to fend for yourself in a not-so-wild setting. read more

Nestled amidst the canyons of Topanga, Cafe 27 offers a unique dining experience that combines rustic charm, breathtaking scenery, and delectable Californian cuisine. Whether you're a local resident or a weekend explorer, this hidden gem is worth seeking out. The moment you step onto the outdoor patio, you're greeted by panoramic views of the lush Topanga Canyon. The backdrop of rolling hills and vibrant greenery sets the perfect atmosphere for a relaxing and scenic meal. The menu showcases seasonal and locally sourced ingredients, crafted into creative and mouthwatering dishes. My companion and I ordered and shared the vegan club sandwich with fries and Nutella wafella. Portions are generous and flavors are well-balanced, making for a truly satisfying dining experience. The staff at Cafe 27 is friendly and attentive, adding to the overall positive dining experience. They were knowledgeable about the menu and made us feel welcome and well-looked-after. read more

After coming here twice, I don't know if I'll ever be back. The service is awful, yesterday was the worst I've ever experienced. waited over an hour for our coffee, hour and half for our food. They told us they were closing soon, it was 2:45 and that we needed to get our order in. They didn't close till 4, we asked to move to a larger secluded table as we had our dogs w us and didn't want to be in any one's way. They told us that was reserved for another party...but no one ever sat there? And how can you guys be closing soon if you're still seating other tables? Our food runner was clueless, our server was clueless, the hosts are mean and not welcoming and yeah views are cool but everything else sucks. food is mediocre at best. How is this establishment not embarrassed to have such horrible customer service? I had such high hopes when I came yesteray with my friends. Embarrassing read more

We stopped by Café 27 in Topanga hoping to get a table, but it was packed, so we decided to just grab coffee to go. That ended up being the highlight of our visit thanks to Miguel. From the moment we walked up, Miguel was incredibly welcoming, kind, and genuinely cared about making sure we had a great experience. You can tell he really knows his craft. The coffees he made were some of the best we've ever had, and what was supposed to be a quick stop turned into a very memorable experience. It's rare to come across customer service like this anymore, and Miguel completely changed our impression of what could have been just another coffee run. His hospitality and positive attitude really stood out. The coffee was amazing, the views were beautiful, but what will bring my wife and me back is the service. Thank you, Miguel, for making our day. We highly recommend Café 27. read more

I recently visited Cafe 27 in Topanga, and I had a delightful experience! The food was absolutely delicious, and the views were stunning--definitely a highlight of the visit. The atmosphere is more suited for group settings, so it might not be the best choice for private conversations, but it still has a beautiful vibe. The coffee was amazing, although I was surprised that they don't offer champagne or brunch cocktails--just some special lemonade and water. However, it didn't take away from the overall experience. I also loved the little shop and the charming treehouse vibe. The staff was laid-back, but I did notice that they don't escort you all the way to your seat, and it took a bit longer to get a water refill since it was a busy day. Overall, I'm glad I tried it out and would recommend it for anyone looking to enjoy great food and beautiful views! read more
