Marmalade Cafe - Calabasas
4783 Commons Way, Malibu, CA
Crema's Take
“This charming Calabasas spot is beloved for its thoughtfully prepared brunch and lunch fare—think crab cakes and lobster Benedict—where the kitchen consistently delivers fresh, perfectly cooked dishes that keep locals coming back twice during a single trip. Beyond the excellent food, what sets Marmalade apart is the genuine warmth of the staff, who offer personalized recommendations and remember the small touches (like warming up your drink the right way) that make an afternoon feel special. With a welcoming patio atmosphere that even hosts kids' music classes, it's the kind of neighborhood gathering place where you can linger over a chai latte without feeling rushed.”

Had a lovely lunch at Marmalade Café with my friend. We ordered the crab cake and the lobster Benedict, and both were absolutely delicious. Fresh, flavorful, perfectly cooked, and very satisfying. The atmosphere was cozy and relaxed, making it a perfect spot to catch up and enjoy good food. Everything we tried was so yummy — definitely a place I’d come back to for lunch again.
Had a wonderful early dinner here. No wait. Staff was friendly. Our server gave us suggestions tailored to our taste. Our food was great. I asked to have my drink warmed up and she knew to put it in a to go cup.
First I would like to say AMAZINGGGG FOOD. My bf and I went twice while we were in Calabasas for my school trip. We first had the marmalade breakfast and the heart health breakfast with a chai latte and a peach mimosa. The portions were great the service was amazing and we were able to make two meals out of the first time we went. This first time we went around 9am on a Thursday. 8/10 for this round of breakfast. The only thing that could’ve made it better was the pancakes were a bit dense, and the potatoes and eggs were just a bit bland. The second time we went was a bit of a different experience. We went around 9am on a Sunday and we had a reservation. We got seated pretty quickly but then sat at our table with no service for almost 15 minutes either multiple people walking by and not saying anything. Even the people after us had gotten service before us which was a bit frustrating but the food was still great and we still had a good time talking with each other. This time around we had the breakfast tacos and breakfast burrito. 9/10 for this round of breakfast it was amazing
I had a wonderful experience at Marmalade Cafe in Calabasas! I ordered the brick roasted half chicken, and it was absolutely delicious, juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The service was excellent, everyone was so friendly and attentive. I also loved the cozy outdoor atmosphere. It is such a relaxing spot to enjoy a meal. And of course, my double espresso is always nearby, no matter what I order, it just makes the experience complete. Definitely a place I’ll come back to!
We went there on a Tuesday for early dinner. At 5 they had a kids music class. The kids enjoyed the happy hour menu and taco Tuesday. Only problem was flies when you eat in the patio but staff was great.
