Wild Oak Cafe

While we may have just had a sub par day when it came to the food, I think I would try this place again. It has charm. A good staff and apparently great hot drinks. We got two order of chicken and waffles. The chicken was overcooked and a bit tough. The waffle was good. I don’t recommend the spicy syrup though. I said I wanted regular and got one cup of each. The spicy one was not to my liking but… maybe it will be for you. We also got the avocado toast and… it was messy but very good!! 😊 The outside seating here on a beautiful morning was great. The staff was very attentive and informative. I would go back.

Visited Wild Oak Cafe in March of 2024 We came for the viral rainbow latte and it was really great. Nothing too magical, just good espresso and good steamed milk. I had one of their burgers and it was delicious. This place is simple, nothing too complicated, just fresh ingredients and good seasoning. The service was good. Staff were friendly and the food was brought out in a timely manner. They have a wonderful patio on a not too bust street. I'd love to ride to it some time. They have bike racks! If I remember correctly, it was a bit pricey but nothing too far out of the ordinary for the area.

BEST cafe ever! Definitely recommend! Best service and best food especially! Please go if you live anywhere near Chevy Chase.

Our first breakfast in California and it did not disappoint. Cute little coffee shop with excellent drinks and food. Try the stuffed french toast!

We liked everything: service, food and atmosphere. I also liked the heaters at the patio which made me feel warm and cozy, because it was pretty chilly outside.

We really enjoyed our visit. Food was delicious and employees were nice. We recommend the stuff French toast, rainbow late, and avocado toast.

The poached egg avocado toast was really great. The steak sandwich was a bit chewy but overall okay but small portion. Coffee was good. The chef are so friendly and so professional and courteous. The staff super friendly. Very polite and pleasant. The location is wonderful. As for the atmosphere, the chairs are very dated and the floor needs a lot of cleaning. This place needs a lot of attention in terms of furniture and chairs. They're worn out and not comfortable at all. Mismatched pieces. This place has a lot of potential so I hope the look into this and upgrade the seating areas .

Come to this place for years and years, have enjoyed the atmosphere to sit and relax outside, love the lattes and bowls. BUT they’ve started to charge extra for everything and they do not offer healthy options for kids. So for breakfast the one kid option is French toast with French fries. Please offer healthy alternatives for children! They need vegetables, they need fruit.

I took my friend who was visiting from Australia. We ordered their specialty coffee and loaded French toast with whipped cream and stuffed with cream cheese and orange marmalade. It was sooo delicious l wanted to finish the whole thing by myself. The service is okay because you have to go inside and place the order and then the server will bring it outside. Usually no one comes and checks on you but you can sit as long as you wish. They don't pressure you to leave. The ambiance is beautiful since you are surrounded by beautiful forest in the back and nice decor as if you are sitting in the garden We came back a second time with my coworkers to celebrate a birthday, l really like it and would visit again

I definitely have to come back here because the day I went, it was ONE HUNDRED degrees so there was no way my boyfriend and I were gonna dine outside in that hot weather Staff was very nice and understanding about it, because we first asked to dine in but ended up asking to take the food to go due to how hot it was... Food was pretty solid! Since we didn't get to eat hot, it probably would've tasted better if I got to eat my avacado toast fresh because my egg wasn't runny ): I ordered the famous rainbow latte as well, and it's simply just a plain latte with fancy foam, but coffee is coffee :3 !

Parking: limited parking lot, but plenty of street parking Atmosphere: it's very small, but hard to miss. It looks pretty much like the pictures. Service: terrific. I actually felt the servers go out of their way to be helpful. Drinks: they are decent. I came mostly for the novelty drinks. They ran out of the cream they use for the novelty logo prints, so I settled for the foam they improvised with. Hence, the "Rulex" drink in my photo. I appreciate their creativity. Overall, it's a fun,eclectic cute spot for a weekend brunch/hangout.

The 3 of us visited on a recent Sunday for brunch. You order inside and they will bring the food out to your table.  I got avocado toast and a digital latte.  The latte was a bit too milky and I had to add more salt/pepper to my toast. Have to admit the digital latte is super cute, you just need to text the picture you like on the latte to the cashier. Hubby got the breakfast sandwich and our friend got the breakfast bowl plus an affrogado which she loved! Overall we had a nice brunch here and we got to catch up. I would suggest coming before 10:30am for a table. It got quite busy just a few minutes later with customers.  All the seats are outside covered in Oak trees. It's a very cute spot, however Fall season is starting and so is my allergies unfortunately. Overall 3.5 stars because the food was kinda bland all around.

What a beautiful cafe. Parking can be a bit tricky as the parking lot is tiny but street parking is available. We ordered the Breakfast Bowl, the Breakfast Plate and the Breakfast Croissant and we all loved our choices! Service was also excellent! We'll definitely be back.

I came here with my dad as we have been trying out different restaurants in town when we meet up. Wild Oak Cafe is located up a canyon. There are a few parking spots (around 5) available at the cafe but street parking is available. We came right near opening on a Sunday morning and were the first ones there so parking was widely open. I do think the prices are slightly more than at other breakfast places but as it's in a nice location and can have "instagram" style photos taken there it's comparable to those types of restaurants in LA. You place your order inside, get a number and choose your own seat outside to eat. Matcha Latte (hot) - 2/5, I don't recommend this. They had two matcha powders available one that was a more dirty green color that was noted as unsweetened and one that was a more traditional matcha green color that was the one I got. They topped it with a chocolate syrup heart latte drawing but the matcha was barely present and I did not enjoy the chocolate mixture into it. For $6 this very much did not feel worth it. Vegan breakfast burrito - 3.5/5, I do wish it was spicier which would have pushed this to a 4. The salsa didn't add to the burrito and wasn't spicy. The burrito itself was filling (took the second 1/2 to go) and I enjoyed trying a burrito with the potatoes as hash browns which was the first time I'd tried that. I think if you start to add hot sauce that's on the table to it this could be very good. Breakfast plate - my dad ordered this and he was v happy with it! While admittedly just a series of breakfast staples, I think this order is a solid choice here.

Solid 3 Ambiance - 4.5 (no indoor seating, can get HOT) Food - 2 (vegan breakfast burrito) Coffee - 3 (rainbow latte, taste comparable to Starbucks but much prettier) Service - 3 (order at counter and seat yourself, maybe clean off your table) So not terrible but not great except ambiance. Glad I came once. Probably won't come again.

This was a cute local cafe. I love all the floral details and displays. Workers are very nice but the worker who took our order seemed new and wasn't able to help or answer of our questions about the food and drinks. She was confused the entire time. They have the trendy rainbow latte here and you can also add stencil art/patterns to your latte. I enjoyed my rainbow latte. The cobb salad was just okay. California pizza kitchen does a better job. Definitely come for the ambiance and drinks but don't have high expectations on the food =)

This place is a hidden jam. Never did I know of such an awesome place near Glendale the café has great food that is awesome and in that little town, or city is so damn cute

This place had a really cute outdoor seating area. It's only outdoor seating but there was shade and umbrellas to keep cool. The food was all just okay. Everyone in my party thought that there was flavor lacking in their dishes. But the salsa that they brought out kind of made up for it. The service was sub par. We were large group and we had to move the tables around and bring out our own waters, they only brought out the food. I don't know if I would come again because it was kind of pricey for the service and the flavor. The orange juice was delicious tho!

Good food, clean, simple menu, nice service, cute ambiance. We got the egg white burrito, waffle, chai latte, and chocolate dream smoothie. Food was pretty tasty and seating was nice. It was cold this morning but they have heaters on to keep the guests warm. Only downside is the prices were steep for what's served.

I had seen this cafe on instagram, so my friend and I decided to go. It didn't disappoint! I had the tuna salad and the famous rainbow latte. The tuna was fresh and there was no heavy dressing. My friend had the steak salad and a cinnamon latte with almond milk. The lattes where smooth and not too strong. Great taste. My friends steak sale was delicious. You can see the team cooking and working hard in the kitchen. The portion was big. To go boxes needed for sure. Please note to following. It should not stop you from going but you need to be prepared: The area you order is small and the line builds fast. You seat our self. The seating fills up fast and you may have to wait for a seat or use a chair not in use. Seats and table are tight and close to each other. Parking is street parking on a hill. Up and down the hill. Be ready to walk. The only have about 6 parking spots next to the restaurant. The vibe is fun, friendly and loud. You will be sitting outside , covered, but outside. It is great on a sunny day. I definitely recommend!

I really wanted to like this place but I am very disappointed. Found a hair in my food which was a major turn-off. Despite the decent atmosphere and okay coffee, the hygiene lapse was unacceptable. The staff didn't even seem apologetic. All she said was "It is okay I will just take it".Apparently having a hair curled up on your fries is very normal there. They messed up my order too, which is okay, it happens. But when I went to tell them they still charged half of the price for the other food. And when there was a hair on it, they took that back and never bothered to apologize nor they suggested to make another one. Hoping they step up their cleanliness game.

This place is definitely one of the most hidden gems in Glendale. Their food is pretty good for brunch and lunch and their lattes are definitely something worth getting. I had the avocado toast and tried some of the softshell crab sandwich and a steak and cheese sandwich and all did not disappoint. The downside to this place is definitely finding parking and a table, especially on a busy day. It's quite a wait but not too long until someone gets up and leave. You do have to order first and then grab a table once you get your table number. Definitely a great place to just have nice conversations and enjoy a beautiful day. Seating is outside only.

Came here for lunch on the weekend. It was pretty busy and also a hot day (basically only outdoor seating. I got worried by the time we ordered we wouldn't find a table but thankfully it seemed like a good flow of people finishing and leaving per people sitting down. Order inside. Took a little but staff was friendly and menu has a great variety. Oh side is cutely decorated with flowers and such. Everything was tasty! It's a nice little find tucked away in the hills. Never knew it existed until we stumbled upon it!

Really cute concept cafe ... I love that all the seating is outside , however it would have been nice if all the heaters worked . We found out after siting down , first, they were not on ... second, the one we sat under wasn't working. It was cold 9 am in the morning in January , so if you're going to eat here....dress like you're going to Snowville in the winter time. The chairs and tables need a good wipe down. They were sticky and dusty. This should be done before opening to patrons. Also, we were like the second ones there ... no napkins in the napkin dispenser located outside the door. I watched so many people walk up to that dispenser only to have disappointed looks on their faces. Besides all the amenities issues... all else went well. It's not a cheap place ... be prepared to spend money but eat good food. The French Toast and Waffle were a big hit for the kids . Breakfast plate was so ....so , don't recommend it . Loved the cappuccino with Art. The poached egg with avocado, greens on toast was delicious. I will definitely love to try this place out during late spring. Didn't really enjoy freeze eating.

The ambience of this location is wonderful. And their colorful artistic lattes are unique and tasty. I would recommend going early, however because they don't have a formal organized seating situation , aka first come first serve, and it gets a bit tricky to find seating on a busy day.

My friend and I visited Wild Oak Cafe because we were intrigued by their digital latte art. However, I was enticed by their rainbow latte! I ordered the rainbow latte with hazelnut flavor and my friend ordered a blended mocha frappe. We got our drinks quickly and sat down on one of their tables outside. The people were very helpful and helped clean off tables quickly as it was quite a busy morning. Although my friend and I were not very hungry and had only gotten a waffle to share, it was an excellent one and made us excited to try more! The crust of the waffle was crispy but the interior was still fluffy and soft. The berries were very fresh, which impressed me because I don't normally eat or trust fruit that is served at restaurants. My latte was delicious and the art was exquisite! I loved that the presentation of the latte made me excited to drink more and more-- I finished the latte relatively quickly even though I am a slow sipper. After we ate, my friend and I walked around the area and loved the beautiful floral decorations that made the already beautiful day even brighter!

Really great place to have coffee and a little something in a peaceful spot for breakfast. In all honesty, it's not one of my favorite places for breakfast. But I love the coffee, the ambiance, and sweet items they have on their menu! My boyfriend really enjoyed his breakfast burrito though! It's so relaxing and beautiful!! But my preference for breakfast is typically comfort food. So if you like this kind of breakfast food style, you'd be very happy!

Used to like this place. No longer. It's a Monday. Restaurant half full. It took 45 minutes to get our food. Hot mocha delivered as a matcha latte. As a correction they bring a mocha, barely warm, that tastes like a hot chocolate. My husband's scrambled eggs were SO overdone they looked ashen. My 3 over medium-well eggs were burnt with punctured egg yolks. After 2 bites I just "couldn't" . . . they remade them into over easy, uncooked eggs which I couldn't eat either. Husband's bacon overcooked, hard, and cold. Waffle had wilted, cottage cheese-looking "whipped cream". I'm still hungry and will have to go home and scrounge a breakfast for myself after we spent over $50, not counting a tip, on this breakfast experience. Not coming back.

A super cute cafe with outdoor seating and aesthetic Instagram worthy decor. I came on a Sunday for brunch with a friend at 11am and there were a handful of empty tables still available. Driving here was interesting as the restaurant is located in a residential mountainy area. You order and pay first in the shop, then seat yourself and the server will bring your food and drinks. I ordered the Chicken and Waffles ($16) and a Rainbow Vanilla Latte ($8). I loved the colors on the rainbow latte, but I'd skip the Chicken and Waffles next time as the chicken was quite dry and on the smaller side, although it was nice and crispy. My friend enjoyed her beautiful avocado toast with poached eggs ($16) and Matcha Latte ($5.50). I love that they have the option for fun digital art on your latte as well, which I'll have to try next time. Keep in mind that you're really paying for the vibes and aesthetics here, so everything is overpriced for the portion size you're getting. There is a small lot for 4-5 cars, but plenty of street parking available. Overall, a great place for brunch to relax in a nice outdoor area with fresh air and in a more secluded area.

Nice place for morning coffee and breakfast . Cute atmosphere away from hustle and bustle of the city.

Recently visited Wild Oak over the weekend and yet another visit that went exceptionally well. Food was flavorful and delicious as always, service was top notch and the vibes are always so serene and mellow. Really great spot for breakfast or lunch, and to top it off, their coffee is one of the best.

It was in a Wednesday morning! Very cold and wet with pouring rain! Browsed the menu, hopped on my car and drove here spontaneously. Order their signature Rainbow Latte to start off my day. The staffs are so friendly with big smiles at all time. Their outdoor seating has the best scenery I've ever had at any recent cafe that I visited. So calming, relaxing and mind-refreshing, although it was only at 45°F but definitely worth it! Stunning presentation for the latte! It's too beautiful to take the first sip almost! For sure it brights up the mood from this gloomy weather! Can't wait to bring my fam or friends here!!! $8:00 (Small) $9.00 (large)

I had the driest chicken sandwich on the face of the planet here. My fiancé ordered the vegan breakfast burrito GLUTEN FREE, only to be told after the fact that they DO NOT have GLUTEN FREE wraps. When they remade it for her, it came out with real eggs aThe cherry on top was the Orkin exterminator spraying for pests WHILE we ate. Horrible experience - I want my money back.

This café is so much fun! The patio area is great and they have heaters on if it's cold. The rainbow latte is even prettier in person than it is in the pictures! The food was delicious. I got one of the most popular sandwiches. And then, of course the latte was not only picture perfect but it tasted delicious to. The service was great. She answered all of my questions and was very helpful. You walk up to the counter order your food take your number and they bring it to you type of places, it was a very busy morning lots of people enjoy this place to. Definitely worth checking out especially for this beautiful latte. I will be back.

Cute spot to spend the afternoon with your loved ones brought my mother here for Mother's Day brunch. Service and food was great. I've been wanting to come here for months and we finally made it here. Thank you for everything.

Dog friendly!!! Came here after a hike with 3 dogs Saturday morning. Luckily no wait for table. Outdoor sitting next to the Glendale Country club. There is a small parking lot full. We parked on street with a short walk. Surprised with the beautiful coffee presentation. I ordered the rainbow code and my friend ordered a print coffee which you can choose from so many different print designs. So she chose a dog design of course for dog lovers. The coffee tastes great as well! You order and pay at the shop and the servers bring the dishes to the table. My avocado toast is beautiful and yummy. It is loaded with avocado, tomatoes, arugula and 2 poached eggs. Great place to eat and chat in an outdoor setting with fresh air and your pups! Will come back ag

Thanks to Josseline for her recommendation on food and coffee. Love the avocado toast with poached eggs. Every ingredient compliments one another. Service is wonderful and welcoming. The outdoor dining area has very nice decorations that go well with the natural scenery of the neighborhood. That's why this place has good business. I will def come back.

I'd give it three but everyone but me loved their food. Servers were friendly but they brought different people food at different times even though we were all on the same check. I'd give it a 3.5 but rounded up since the servers were at least trying.

My only complaint was that I wished I had been informed that my photo was too complicated to be able to be printed on the foam of my latte. I do appreciate that the barista offered to get it redone. But I just ended up drinking it. It is pretty pricy at $8 for a matcha latte. They add two types of matcha powders. One is sweetened, the other isn't. But I think it tasted somewhat bland, so I added honey. The $14 breakfast bowl was yummy and very fulfilling. I had it with no cheese, though. Instead, I got pesto as a substitute. Which was fine, but it tasted better. Parking was quite tricky. Very few on a small lot; otherwise it's street parking. It did smell kinda weird at some parts of the outdoor patio.

There's no seating inside so if it's summer be ready to feel the heat or the cold in winter, do go in spring, it's perfect. Food was okay, not great. The coffee was delicious and pretty. There's little parking but some around.

Cute outdoor neighborhood cafe with great music and vibe. The service was fine, nothing spectacular but sufficient. The food was forgettable at best.

This little hole in the wall was a really sweet surprise. Take a drive up Chevy Chase Dr in Glendale and you'll find this hidden gem. I ordered a wffle that, tbh, wasn't THAT spectacular (pretty simplec waffle w syrup and whipped cream and fruit which IMO is a tad bit overpriced), but the showstopper was DEF this Rainbow Latte that was so beautoful I didn't even want to drink it. It was a piece of heaven on earth. The service was really great, they brought our food super quick. Will def be coming back to try another item from their menu

This place is way too nice to be playing trap music at lunchtime. It is broad daylight. Cardi B or Nicki Minaj while I'm eating? It's like teen trap lords took over. Maybe it's good for the employees but gross for customers. It's unhealthy to digest food to this music.

Cute cafe but extremely over priced for pretty basic food, not much flavor. I honestly wouldn't come back.

Great food! The service was relatively friendly. The space and area are beautiful. It is a great little oasis. I enjoyed the lavender latte and my sister loved the rose water. Great place for a quick bite or a regular brunch spot.

I being wanted to try out this place and so we did ., it was really good Great customer service I'll b back soon

FLAVOR (4/5): Ordered the breakfast bowl here and it was solid! Hash brown base, sausage, egg, peppers, avocado and salsa. The avocado toast also looks super fancy with edible flowers and poached eggs! INSTAGRAM WORTHY (5/5): A cute spot tucked away in Glendale next to the country club. Florals coming out of the ceiling, vintage car decked out in front, volkswagen bus counter inside and ample outdoor shaded seating! Good photo ops place. SERVICE (4/5): Order at the counter and they'll bring it out to you! Food didn't take too long to get out, but if you needed anything else it's self service from there. TAKEAWAYS: Pricey food for what it is, but tasted decent for brunch! Small parking lot.

Friendly staff, good food, great scenery. Definitely will come back. I loved their "Red Goddess" beet juice.

It's crazy that I never knew about this place. This place is in a beautiful residence I guess I'm picking up for Linda Kim July 2, 1983. I think she just called it in or I mean I'm dropping off and picking up OK thank you bye area as you go in you first order your food from the register and then you sit down and then they bring the food over to you. They have many selections of different drink options from smoothie coffee lattes and juices. They have a full variety of breakfast sandwiches burrito salad.

Not going to lie, but this place was disappointing. I paid $19 for a small breakfast burrito that was just meh. To be honest, I've had better for much less. The parking lot is small. Outdoor seating only, but they are doggie friendly! However, the vibe is cute and the staff is friendly :)

Great spot to have some casual breakfast and/or brunch. I got the breakfast burrito. Wish they had a salsa or hot sauce that actually made the burrito spicy, but other than that and limited parking, this place was great. I would visit again.

My absolute favorite especially for a weekend brunch calm and pretty neighborhood lovely atmosphere delicious food and gorgeous coffee

Great Cobb salad. The atmosphere is comfortable and cooked by fans. The salad was fresh and delicious! My little dog Bonnie gave it two paws up!

It's definitely a cute place from the outside but expect a wait and okay food. Parking: Parking is very limited. There is about 10 parking spots on the side of the restaurant. The parking spots are on each side of the restaurant. If you can't find parking there you can park on the side of the street but be careful cars go pretty fast going into the neighborhood. Customer Service & Wait Time: After you order you will wait in the patio for a table. Expect a wait time for a table of at least 30mins or longer. The staff will buss your table and then direct you to a table. I wish they would have a running list of names so you have an idea of how long it will be for a table before you order. There were other parties waiting in the same patio as us. It felt very crowded. Once we finally sat down it was another 30-45 minutes for food. The staff would often check on the table and would say oh just a little bit longer but never gave an update on how much longer for food. Quality of Food: It was okay! It took about 45 mins-1hour to get the food. The food was also lukewarm as if it was sitting there for awhile. My friends and I ordered the breakfast burrito, avocado toast, waffle and burger. They were all just below average. I wish it was warmer and more fresh. Even though it looks cute don't let it deceive you. Try somewhere else if you're looking for an accurate wait time, quality food and not feeling crowded.

Pretty drinks, amazing food and friendly staff. Environment is gorgeous, definitely my favorite breakfast spot. 10/10 would recommend.

To say that we are disappointed is to say nothing at all. We used to love Wild Oak, it was our go to, as the avocado toast was to die for. However, after our recent visit, I am confident to say we won't be returning. FOOD: We ordered avocado toast, Grilled chicken sandwich, chicken and waffles, and chicken noodle soup. We had to wait 25+ minutes for the food, which I understand it was busy and would be justified if the food we received wasn't absolutely mid. The bread on both was burnt, avocado was blackened. I asked the chicken and waffles to come with NO maple syrup as we have a picky kid. Behold, the waffles came with maple syrup on the side, spilling over onto the meal. The soup was cold. Only thing okay-ish was the chicken sandwich. Overall, used to be 5/5 experience, but food was no more than 2/5 ( and I am being generous) DRINKS: We ordered an iced latte and a rainbow latte. We understand that rainbow latte takes a long while, but the iced latte took 30 minutes to come out and was subpar. Rainbow latte tasted amazing, I will give credit where it is due. Overall 3/5. SERVICE: In no way this is a swipe on the staff. They are very, very hardworking, kind, running food around non-stop. However, the place is severely understaffed, putting strain on both workers and the customers. There were only 2 people running food, which is nearly not sufficient for a place thats 100% at capacity. Overall, we paid $100+ and left the place disappointed. We used to love it, but not sure we will be back or recommend the place to our friends.

Very cute and charming place. The food was absolutely delicious. I wish they were a bit faster.
