Ronit G.

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.

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.

Steak Panini
Allie G.

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

Avocado Toast
Desiree T.

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!!!!

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.

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.

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.

This place has a really cozy vibe with nice outdoor seating. Service is attentive. The food is decent, but the coffee is fantastic! Definitely a solid spot in the area, though parking can be a bit of a hassle on weekends.

Good place to study?

It really depends on the time and the day. Sometimes it may be too noisy.

What if I don't have a cellphone? Can't I pay cash? Thank you for replying. I'm confused because the website mentions "Contactless Dining" and describes ordering and paying by phone at the table. So I thought that was the only way to order and pay.

Hello, I'm not sure if you are referring to Apple Pay however we also accept cash, debit cards, and credit cards.

Is the patio available for dine in eating?

Yes it is! We look forward to serving you.

Does the avocado toast have butter?

Hi Dylan! No, we do not use butter on our avocado toast.

Will the hours of operation be affected by the Coronavirus?

Hello Jo! Sadly we are only able to remain open from 8am to 2pm until further notice. Please let us know if we can assist you with any take out orders during our operating hours! 818-789-8733

However I haven't…read morebeen back in a few years as my kids got older and prefer to sleep in than go out for breakfast. However the past holiday weekend my youngest woke up early so I told him we will go to the waffle place. Got there before 9am so we were seated right away. We sat inside and we both ordered an omelette with the waffles as the side. Service was fast but the only thing is that the eggs are overcooked. On the photo you can see the edges were brown on my order (Californian). The servings are huge so we only ate half of the omelettes we ordered and finished off the waffles. I had the Californian and my son had Denver. The Californian is a folded omelette while Denver flat. I prefer my son's omelette than mine. Next time I'll just have the waffles! Oh and they put jam and salsa that's really good to put on anything - even the waffles.

Was originally excited to try…read moretheir food as their menu is extensive and had many options available from classic breakfast plates, Mexican twists and of course, waffles! While two kind waiters originally came to our group to just offer coffee and water, a hostess randomly came up to our group and rudely said "well, your group has been here for 40 minutes now and still haven't ordered and we need the tables". First and foremost, our group had not been there for 40 minutes yet, and if we had been, that would have showed how delayed their service was. Secondly, the hostess came off very rude and aggressive, she could have asked if we were just ready to order. Finally, we had been waiting for someone to take our order the entire time! We kindly advised we had been waiting to order. She ruined the vibes for the entire group, and we did not feel welcome for the rest of the experience. The waiters were extremely kind, just not whoever the hostess was on 5/9/26. Waffles came out first, would have made more sense to have them after the main meal. Eggs Benedict were very traditional, seasoned well but nothing to rave for. They definitely have a different take on chilaquiles, not what I was expecting but decently seasoned. Food is around 6.5-7/10. Well seasoned, flavorful but not unique. Not coming back to this location to due the experience unfortunately.

I love their drip coffee and that there are free refills. Yay! They have some outlets available if you bring your laptop. I usually come on weekdays because the weekends get super busy! They have indoor and outdoor seating, but I like to be inside and watch the folks in the kitchen do their thing. We started with a blueberry scone and it had great flavor. It did taste a little on the dry side, so depending on how you like your scones can be a good or bad thing. Goes perfectly with the coffee! For my main I got the avocado chicken BLT wrap and it was delicious! I chose to get hash browns on the side, which were tasty but I wish they had a little more crisp on them. My mom ordered a scramble and what came out was an omelette that has been cut up into pieces. My mom brought it to an employee's attention and she offered to have them remake it, which was appreciated! Love that they validate parking if you park in the underground lot. Overall, my experience here is consistently good. Love their food and the casual vibe!

Misleading Signs, Poor Management, and Unhelpful Service I…read morehave visited Claudine's in Encino on Ventura Boulevard many times. However, my girlfriend and I were very disappointed during our most recent visit. The tables have clear signs that read: "ORDER FROM YOUR TABLE!" with a QR code encouraging customers to "SCAN HERE TO START AN ORDER." We followed the instructions exactly. After a table became available, we sat down and tried to order from our seats using the QR code. A manager immediately came over and confrontationally told me I was not allowed to do that. When I pointed out the sign on the table, he became combative and unfriendly, insisting that we had to stand in the long line like everyone else. He came across as being on a power trip. This makes no sense. Allowing customers to order from their tables (as the signs clearly promote) would help relieve the long lines at the cash register and actually benefit the business by improving flow and customer experience. Instead, the policy creates unnecessary frustration and confusion. Even worse, the interaction felt somewhat discriminatory. This kind of treatment is unacceptable and left us feeling unwelcome in what should be a pastry and coffee shop experience. Owners and management: Please either remove the misleading table signs or honor what they say. Train your staff -- especially managers -- on basic politeness and consistency, and ensure all customers are treated fairly. The servers who bring the food are very polite and courteous, the manager not so much. Great food will keep you in business only for so long, however if the management is so hostile and dominant, people will eventually go elsewhere. This experience will keep us from returning.

It was full and the whole parking situation with the metered is a cluster fuck. Not part of the restaurant....lol... Found street parking along Moorpark which was only a little walk to the restaurant. There was a band setting up when we arrived which could also be the reason for a full parking lot. I overheard someone saying that certain days they have live music which is perfect as it's starting to heat up. Nice dining experience with live music. We ended up sitting inside for the ac which I would have love to be outside but it was fine. Breakfast had ended but the lunch menu was quite good. I've alway ordered at the counter each visit which I'm not even sure they have waitress service with order. After ordering, a number is give where it's placed on the table. As there was a couple of us, a few dishes was had. I alway go for the mimosas deal, 3 for the price of 2. Food, the Cobb salad which I forgot to add protein to it but it was still decent. That came with their vinaigrette dressing but a side of ranch was also asked for. The Brie and turkey sandwich with a side of the macaroni salad. Sandwiches were quite tasty with the toasted bread and how everything melted together. The burger which was pretty big in size. Tasty from what I was informed and served with a side of fries. Lastly, the avocado toast with tomatoes. Simple and cheerful. Plus you need an extra side order of streak fries with ranch. Both ketchup and their avocado dip was brought out as well. Food was good, the service was great. Both with the gal at the register and the waitress bringing out the food. It's pet friendly which is also nice to have the little pup with us. Forgot, they also have a nice display case of sweets on hand. And cookies that were massive. Clearly one was had before the meal. Sweets beforehand is always a good idea. Great service, nice drink, live music and a lovely crowd. What a nice way to enjoy lunch on a Tuesday afternoon.
