Reviews

Got to taste the chili and the banana split. Both were surprisingly good! Beautiful views as well. Only complaint is I wish the establishment has more “cosmic” themed décor. Can just have the ceiling painted with astronomy stuff. It’s a bit bland looking place with just picnic benches. Other than that it’s a great little run of the mill cafe. I parked there didn’t hike, however there are many little trails around the area.

The reason I gave this cafe 5 star is mainly the location. You don’t go there for the cafe and their food, but if you are up there and wanna grab something it’s great. There are no other store there and sometimes they stop over an hour for hunch break and usually they run out of food. So it’s good to have something with you if you are going there for a hike.  Restroom + water: Drinking water fountain and restroom available.  Parking: There are few parking lot available, so finding parking spot should not be a concern.  Road/Drive: Nice drive with recently renewed asphalt. Although you should be careful with the stones falling/fell in the road.  View: Fantastic view, I would recommend to have some portable chairs with you to chill and enjoy that amazing view.  ***It’s a bear area, please watch out kids and keep them close.  Enjoy!

Cosmic Cafe is open for business! You don't come up here for the food, but if you come up here for a small spontaneous get away at least there IS food. They have cold and drinks   , ice cream , baked goods   pie!, Simple sandwiches like PB&J, ham, turkey and veggie ,  hot dogs, fruit , and even greens salad. So, you'll be able to have something to hold you over for the next leg of the adventure. The staff here is very nice. The area is generally clean. The folks up here are all nice, something about the mountain air . Ample parking below or at the lot above. There's plenty of picnic tables in the immediate area outside the cafe if you decide to bring your own goodies. The restroom was very clean as well. At the rear of the cafe is the meeting spot for tours and the hours are posted. Don't forget to pick up a daily parking pass at the bottom of HWY 2 at the gas station. Though I didn't see a ranger for the time I was there, the lot DOES have posted signs "All parked vehicles must display parking permit." Do it at your own risk, but it brings piece of mind that you don't have to come back to your car and find a $50 parking ticket. It's a National Forest, chip in to keep it accessible and maintained for all! Cheers, enjoy your time at the mountain!

Can’t beat the views. This food is concession quality of food. They do have a lot of option, pricing is fair little high but fair. The seating is picnic benches and can get busy. Worth doing once or twice.Recommended dishes

Food is definitely overpriced, concession like. However you are getting an amazing view which still makes this place worth coming to. It’s a nice meeting spot and start to the surrounding trails. Come for the view, if the food doesn’t impress, pack a sandwich.Food: 3/5

Hog dog was sub par.  Sandwich  is the way to go, if you need a meal.  Service was great, and the view / mountain breeze was nice.Food: 2/5

You are near the top of a Mountain in the middle of nowhere so the place is the only choice. Nothing bad with the food all things considered. The staff is friendly but the guy that served me did not know any about the store  like what pastries they had, where the sugar was etc etcFood: 4/5

I love riding my motorcycle up here, every chance I get on weekends. You can have a meal and a drink, while enjoying LA’s finest views.

This place is not for the food for the stomach but food for the thought. Its the view that is killer. I would rather pack my own lunch to eat there and enjoy the view. The cosmic cafe sits on the Mt. Wilson, walkable distance to the Wilson Observatory. Now that is the draw.Food: 1/5

I guess it’s great but was closed today Saturday may 6th
