Stopped by Pacific Palisades Cafe for lunch and tried a little bit of everything - a savory breakfast burrito, a pastry, and a smoothie. I ordered the breakfast burrito with beef bulgogi, and it was impressively hearty. It was packed with a generous amount of egg and tender beef, making it a filling, protein-packed meal. The bulgogi added a delicious balance of savory and subtle sweetness, while the potatoes gave the burrito even more substance. The ingredients complemented one another well, and this is something I would absolutely order again. While waiting for the burrito, I had the pain au chocolat warmed up. It was flaky, buttery, and chocolatey without being overly sweet. Heating it brought out the richness of the pastry and melted the chocolate just enough. Of all the baked goods I have tried here so far, this has easily been my favorite. I also ordered the strawberry coconut smoothie. The coconut base tasted fairly mild on its own, with very little sweetness at first. Once I thoroughly mixed in the strawberry purée, however, the smoothie became much more flavorful and had the sweetness it needed. My only suggestion would be to drizzle the strawberry purée along the sides or layer through the middle of the cup rather than placing it on top. That would make it much easier to mix evenly and enjoy the intended strawberry flavor. Overall, everything was satisfying, and each item brought something different to the meal. The beef bulgogi breakfast burrito was hearty and flavorful, the pain au chocolat was a standout, and the smoothie became delicious once properly mixed. I would gladly return and continue exploring the menu. read more

One of the few places like this open in the Palisades.... You order at the counter and retrieve your food when your name is called... bus own trays... The tipping prompts on the point of sale were outrageous for a place of this type 25-30%?? Food was all very good: BLT, Chinese chicken salad, Caesar salad with chicken added, zucchini, sticks, and fries.... It was almost deafening inside with everybody eating and talking at the same time.... After half an hour 3/4 of the people were gone and it was a completely different atmosphere..... Overall a very good experience.... read more

Palisades Garden Cafe - Chinese chicken salad, Caesar salad with chicken, killer BLT, zucchini fries... all very good! - Bakeries Near Me - Pacific Palisades, California

Palisades Garden Cafe is an absolute local gem. As one of the few remaining legacy brick-and-mortar restaurants in the area, they are truly holding it down for the Pacific Palisades community. Given the affluent neighborhood, I fully expected "Palisades pricing", but I was incredibly pleased with how reasonable and fair the prices are. They really do right by the community here. Props to them! On the staff's recommendation, I grabbed the bacon breakfast burrito ($11.99). Let me tell you: this is a LEGIT breakfast burrito. I was honestly blown away by the quality. The bacon was perfectly crispy and generously portioned, but the real star of the show was the eggs. The chef deserves a serious raise because these scrambled eggs were like fluffy, yellow clouds of goodness. While it's not a massive, oversized burrito, the ingredient ratio is absolutely spot-on. It's wonderfully egg-forward rather than being padded out with cheap potatoes. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by! read more

I like how expansive the menu is, you can go multiple times in a week and feel like you got a different meal. They are pretty quick in there considering the amount of people during the lunch time rush. There is seating both inside and outside and they'll call your name when your food is ready. I really enjoyed my cheese quesadilla along with the mozzarella sticks. read more

The food is always great, the service is always exceptional and the restaurant is always clean.

I ate so fast the veggie burger. It was really good. Right proportion of lettuce and tomatoes and buns to patty. Good sauce inside that I didn't need to add more. Curly fries were good, too. Crispy on the outside and soft in the inside. Right about of spice. Hits the spot after a hike. read more

Palisades garden cafe has been a staple in the palisades for decades now. Last week was my first time back since the palisades fire, and it was amazing to see the cafe still standing strong, serving as a beacon for the community. The first time I stumbled across this uber-local cafe, I had just completed a hike at point dume. And I still remember the palisades garden cafe being a highlight of our day, as portions are hearty and delicious. This visit, what we ordered for the table: 1. Onion rings, accompanied by a house ranch - fresh and crispy...everything onion rings should be! 2. Wagyu burger - new on the menu, and so gourmet! Genuinely a great, juicy burger. 3. Chicken pesto ciabatta - healthy and satisfying. 4. Cajun fries with cheese dip - loved the seasoning for the Cajun dip, but preferred dipping in ranch over using the cheese sauce. 5. Everything juice - healthy and fresh. Loved the comfy outdoor cafe seating as well. Will continue coming back to this staple cafe. Easy street parking. read more

Glad I got to check this spot out, apparently it's really popular and a long standing eatery here in Pacific Palisades. Their menu is extensive and definitely easy to find something you're going to like. I really like the space, really modern and found a table to sit at. Definitely enjoyed all of my food! What I got: Cheese fries (nacho cheese): golden crispy fries topped with nacho cheese goodness, nostalgic from childhood days eating cheese fries back after my little league baseball game days, it just feels comforting. Tater tots: the ultimate comfort side food, little potato goodness with a crispy outer layer. Chicken pesto Sandwich: love me some good pesto and with chicken, it was so delicious and had to finish eating it Turkey Burger: it was actually juicy, full of flavor and worth every bite Mango green tea, light and refreshing, great little pick me up. Strawberry matcha with Oat: so smooooth, creamy and earthy with some strawberry flavor. I need to go back and try other menu items especially the smoothies! So are you ready to brunch your way here?!?! Tip: it's located near a school, so try to avoid going on weekdays after 3pm because it gets packed with students and gets really noisy. read more

Quaint neighborhood cafe. There is seating inside and out but it is limited. Prices are reasonable. We had the cheeseburger, zucchini sticks, tater tots, breakfast burrito, and wings. Everything was excellent. Loved the breading on the zucchini sticks...not too heavy. The breakfast burrito was delish. Perfect scrambled eggs, crisp bacon and potatoes inside and they give you both a red sauce and green . The burger was yummy...burger patty was flavored well and had a nice toast to the bun. Pastries were yummy. The only thing we didn't enjoy too much was the wings...they were still good...but a little too sweet for our taste. This place gets busy, so it did take long to get our food...20 minutes . Order at the counter and then find a seat. read more

Palisades Garden Cafe - Iced Mocha Latte - Largemocha - Bakeries Near Me - Pacific Palisades, California

Absolute staple for the palisades, especially after the fires since lots of places are closed. If you're not a student and are in a rush don't go from 3-4 on weekdays it gets packed with students. They have tacos, salads, sandwiches, and smoothies that all taste great. Plenty of seating available but it can be hard to find seating when students come. Really nice space, but can feel crowded at times. read more

Palisades Garden Cafe is a staple in the neighborhood and delivers on its reputation. The menu is expansive, providing something for everyone. Not only that, but the prices of everything are super competitive. The food was amazing and such good value. We had a little bit of everything - the western burger, turkey pesto cranberry sandwich, curly fries, mozzarella sticks - and loved it all. The atmosphere is super inviting as well, with great outdoor seating available. I can't wait to be back. read more

Amongst a burned down town, you'll find the famous palisades garden cafe. There are so few places up and running for lunch and it's so fortunate they stayed standing! My go-to is the chicken pesto sandwich it is so amazing! You can get anything in a sandwich or wrap and they just do it so well here! Sooo sad they don't sell brownies anymore it was my favorite! (Pls bring it back!) I highly recommend whether you're eating in or taking to go, you support local and try this cafe it's fantastic! I always order the sandwich platter it's great for my events! read more

this quaint Café near the beach is perfect for brunch and so popular with locals, and for good reason. The handcrafted drinks were amazing (the Matcha was very good quality), and the Café staples were elevated in a way that made them unique to other café food. For instance, instead of a regular turkey sandwich, I chose the turkey sandwich with pesto and cranberry, a delicious combination. I also really enjoyed the Nashville fries which were seasoned and mildly spicy, and perfect to dunk into their cheese sauce. Parking is street parking only, it seems, but there were spots available when I visited during the week. read more

We went to Palisades Garden on a Thursday afternoon last week after visiting the Getty Villa. It was a 10-15 minute drive and the cafe was pretty small but well run.. We all had burgers, breakfast burritos, and a pesto chicken wrap. Our party of 5 was very happy with the food, and prices were super reasonable. Much better than going to the Getty cafe for our teens, as the food was too overpriced to risk them not eating much of the food. Order took about 10 minutes to come out. we were there on the late lunch side and they seemed to be steadily busy but still pretty fast. Happy we went this route. Also the paid parking is temporary no charge. There is no pay kiosk per the cafe staff. We had no issues parking there for an hour. read more

I came here one afternoon with a few friends after a hike in Temescal. We were very hungry and boy did this place fill our stomachs!! I was at a point of being so hungry I couldn't make up my mind on food, but the employees behind the counter will very patient with me as I stood and stared blankly at their expansive menu trying to make up my mind on my order. I ended up getting the breakfast quesadilla with steak (treated myself ) and I was so surprised by the quantity of food I was met with! This quesadilla was huge (and normally my appetite is pretty huge after a hike but dang I couldn't finish). Immediate points there for incredible portion sizes. The rest of my friends really enjoyed their food as well! We ended up sitting outside to eat and there was plenty of seating wherever we wanted when we stopped in for lunch. I'm glad I know about this lil neighborhood spot so I can pop by again the next time I'm ravenous from some time spent on trails. read more

Stopped by this place on my birthday. Located near a bunch of schools so it's fairly popular! I went with a turkey avocado sandwich and wow-probably one of the best sandwiches I've had in a while! The service is nice, plenty of outdoor seating if you're feeling crowded inside. Also tried a fruit pastry/tart-it was amazing, lots of custard and fruit read more

Love it here. Thanks for being here for us in when we need food options. Nice staff and really good simple food.

I've been here a few times now and it's been great. So nice to have a casual place with an extensive menu where everything is fresh and delivered quickly. Burgers and tuna sandwiches are first rate. Great outside area where you can watch the steady stream of late model Range Rovers on their way back from Erewhon and Lululemon runs. read more

If you go to garden cafe, you are so lucky rn. It was one of the only places not burnt down in the palisades fire and I am so happy it diden't. Garden has great staff that you will see every time you go and you will grow good connections with all of them. Garden cafe is packed with great people and great food (including a candy wall!) read more

This cafe is one of the few businesses in operation in the Palisades. They have great food and wonderful service. We should support these businesses that are in the community. It is so tragic looking around the Village seeing the devastation and re-building that is needed. Please support this amazing local cafe. read more

The iced latte was subpar. It only tasted like milk. However, the bacon breakfast burrito was good and the 2 salsas had good flavor. Slightly pricey but made fresh and good sized - can easily be shared. There is a bit of a wait for food/coffee. read more

We love this place! They have great breakfast burritos and really fast service. We love popping in her for a quick bite anytime of the day. They don't have wifi though, I've tried to come sit and work outside but you'd need a hotspot. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. read more

Soooo good! Had a sandwich recently. It was a great price for a huge delicious sandwich that I split with my friend. We were both full after. The staff is friendly. The interior is so cute and pink!

We had just visited the Getty Villa and didn't want to go home hungry and didn't want to pay $23 for a wrap at the Getty. Yelp to the rescue. Palisades Garden Club had my attention at savory fries. We ordered the Nashville Chicken Sando (aka sandwich), Double Smashed Burger, and Chili Cheese Fries. I would recommend even if not starving. I typically could take or leave chili fries, but it was tasty and had a crunchy texture!! I ordered the mango green tea - pass on this next time and maybe try a different drink. I would go again. Ambiance is casual and chill. Cute decorations. Clean bathroom. I did have to wipe down our table a little when we seated ourselves, no biggie, though. Parking lot was next to the place but divided into a restricted area just for the car wash that was there and paid public parking (currently free). Not a lot has opened back up on that particular street yet including the library. read more
