Crema's Take
“The Trails is built for hiking culture, with a lineup of solid pastries and quiches designed to fuel you before or after a Griffith Park adventure rather than linger over. The matcha iced lattes are genuinely good, the staff actually cares, and the outdoor seating puts you in a genuine woodland setting that justifies the detour off the main path. It's casual, reasonably priced, and dog-friendly—basically the trailhead coffee spot that actually delivers.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, outdoor seating. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Dog friendly. Family friendly. Parking available.

See all on Google →This was a really nice place as a quick stop to get snacks before hikes. Their quiche I recommend - not too heavy, but just enough to give you energy for a hike. Staff are very nice. Since this is a hiking area there's only outdoor seating. It makes you feel like you're in…
We loved this beautiful unique location! It's a hidden must in the hills. We took the beautiful Fern trail to get this location. We got the matcha iced latte and absolutely loved it. We will make this a spot for us to visit more often. Definitely recommended!
Great spot for a coffee and a treat before or after a hike. There is lots of outdoor seating and a bit of road parking.
A very nice coffee shop; it feels like you're in the woods. The staff is friendly, the prices are reasonable, and there are plenty of tables and benches. The only downside is that the benches are concrete and cold. The apple pie was delicious, the coffee tasted a bit sour, but…
Really cute coffee shop at the trail head of Griffith observatory before a nice hike up to the top. Great Americano and a variety of pastries too.
