What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"There’s a really nice café right at the entrance (or exit) of the Huntington Library. We usually stop by for snacks and drinks after we finish exploring the gardens and museums. The food is good, and the staff are super friendly."
"Amazing honey lavender ice cream and coffee cake. Mocha coffee was a bit rich and dark chocolate instead of milk. So good. But be prepared. Cute interior. Extra seating outside."
"Red car is a nice little coffee shop that conveniently located at the Huntington library (right by the entrance). They have both indoor and outdoor seating. Except drinks and pastries, I'm glad that they also sell Fosselman's ice cream, sandwiches, yoghurt parfait, fruits and snacks in the store. They opens early at 8am, and drinks and food are allowed to bring into the Huntington library."
"Great little cafe right at the entrance to the Huntington so you can grab a coffee before heading into the gardens. Unfortunately when I asked for a cold brew (at 10:30am), they were out, so I got a cappuccino instead. Also, it's a little pricey, so be prepared to shell out a bit of cash if you want any of the various snacks they have on display. But great coffee for a nice stroll through some beautiful gardens!"
"Amazing chai tea and delicious pasties."
