The Peacock Cafe at The Arboretum
301 N Baldwin Ave, Temple City, CA
Crema's Take
“Nestled within the lush grounds of the Arboretum, this cafe offers a genuinely unhurried escape where you can sip thoughtfully prepared drinks while peacocks wander freely around your outdoor table. The combination of beautiful garden views, attentive service, and reasonably priced light fare creates a rare kind of sanctuary—the type of place where families actually want to linger and where the peaceful ambiance feels as nourishing as the coffee itself.”

It's a cute little cafe inside the garden. Food is pretty good and reasonably priced for being inside a paid area.
This is one of those places where you can truly slow down and enjoy the moment. The ambience is peaceful and beautifully set, which made it a great place to spend time with my family. We really appreciated how relaxed and welcoming it felt. The food was delicious and thoughtfully prepared, and the menu had great options for everyone. It was a genuinely enjoyable experience and a place we would happily return to.
A really enjoyable experience overall. The venue itself is beautiful and makes for a relaxing place to spend time, especially with family. The food was flavorful and thoughtfully prepared, and the menu had something for everyone. Service was friendly and attentive, which made the visit even better. A great spot to unwind and enjoy a quality meal.
It was not packed yet when I came. There were inside seats with ac on and outside seats where you could eat and watch peacocks roaming around. I decided to sit outside. These peacocks are used to people around. One time I even met one who was wondering around my seat. I guess someone was trying to feed them although I am not sure. I hope not. It’s not good for them. I usually ordered the Baldwin grilled cheese sandwich with iced black coffee. It’s not just cheese but also avocado and bacon. With toasted bread it was very delicious. Peacocks were talking to each others. They were pretty loud but cute.
The Peacock Cafe has a beautiful view of the Arboretum and features indoor and outdoor seating. You’ll be sure to see some Peacocks there! We had fun trying to take pics of them and they would walk and turn around. You’d have to wait for them to turn facing you. They have breakfast and lunch items such as Breakfast burritos, French toast, yogurt parfait, sandwiches, salads, hamburger/cheeseburger with fries, grilled cheese sandwiches, iced coffee and more. Some items are in their grab & go packaged refrigerated section. We tried their breakfast burritos, cheeseburger with fries and iced coffee. The breakfast burrito is tasty and filling. I would have liked more than one small green salsa. They didn’t haven’t any more available. I couldn’t believe it! Most places give you multiple salsas. The cheeseburger with fries was yummy. The customer service could have been friendlier. You can eat in their lovely indoor or outdoor dining areas. Or bring a blanket, grab some food and have a picnic.
