Our Concept

Coral Tree Café is an American kitchen that offers healthy, honest food and organic coffee and tea options in a warm, inviting atmosphere.

Since opening in 2002, Coral Tree Café’s have expanded its locations to Brentwood and Encino.

The café is committed to providing casual California cuisine, using fine dining techniques in a welcoming environment that offers both indoor and outdoor seating.

Coral Tree Café’s mantra is made with love, and behind this commitment to quality, the café features a contemporary menu with healthy, well-executed options for breakfast, lunch, dinner and catering.

The menu includes vegan, gluten-free friendly options while the beverage menu features freshly squeezed juices, wine and beer.

In addition to an expansive selection of delicious food, Coral Tree Café offers a variety of activities including daily happy hour, Game Night every Sunday where one can enjoy a wide selection of board games for the whole family as well as happy hour from 3pm to close, and Wine Wednesday exclusively in Brentwood which features live music and half off wine bottles every Wednesday night.

The restaurant name stems from the beautiful, historical coral trees lining San Vicente Blvd. at its first location in Brentwood, plated in place of the red car line in the 1940’s, which have since become a Los Angeles monument.

The Brentwood and Encino locations became recognized as a 2-Star Certified Green Restaurants, committed to the environment, their customers’ health and fair-trade practices.

At Coral Tree Café, our Equator coffee is certified organic, fairly traded and roasted with purpose and precision, making for some of the finest-tasting coffee in Los Angeles.
