Tickle Tree Cafe

This delightful cafe sits on top of the hill in La Crescenta, just above CVHS. The fare is delicious and the service delightful. I find it a true testament to the quality of food, service, and care of the owner when the employee turnover is low and regulars are well established. Come for a great meal and good times. (Indoor and outdoor seating available) Ordered: Jane's Breakfast, Orange French Toast, and Pastrami Sandwich w/ garlic sweet potato fries. (Fries come with aioli and can come with or without garlic sprinkled on top)

Amazing staff! Very friendly, and warm team here. Great outdoor seating; multiple tiers of outdoor sections. Solid menu, and choices. Food was tasty, and fresh. We got the BLAT with garlic fries, and huevos rancheros. Also a chi latte tea (it was of the sweeter variety). Plenty of street parking on foothill and north of foothill. There is a small parking lot (4-6 spots) but it is usually full, and pretty tight. Great neighborhood spot, highly recommend.

Veggie omelette was one of the best I've had (excellent veggie to egg ratio). Good potatoes that tasted fresh and not loaded with salt. The mint lemonade was refreshing and not very sweet - tasted legit but may not be for those wanting a really sweet, basic lemonade. Walk up to order and outdoor seating available. Limited parking.

Don’t look for love look for Tickle Tree Café. Tickle, tickle, tickle! Ok, let’s start this review. Tickle Tree Café is a small corner all day café that serves breakfast and lunch sandwiches. They’re located at Foothill blvd and Dyer st in La Cresenta-Montrose. Indoor atmosphere was cool and emits a positive chi. It’s less spacious compared to their outdoor patios. I perused their food/drink/coffee menu and it barely tickled my innocent mind. To put it mildly their food/drink selections were limited. I came here on a blazing hot Thursday afternoon and ordered a Tuna Melt with salad and mint Lemonade for lunch. Their Lemonade (20z) was cold and refreshing. Similarly, the Tuna Melt was warm, thick and tasty. It was so good my medulla oblongata was tickled like how a woman tickles her bf. Anyway, I’m neither here or there let’s get back on this review. Salad was fresh. Service was fast and on point. The server guy has an alto voice when he calls your name out LOUD so loud you may hear it across the street. Prices were slightly expensive especially the food but the quality is superb. Free Wifi and parking available albeit very small lot. In this voluminous review, it’s time time to make a conclusion about this café. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and food/drink. Therefore, I highly recommend this lil cute corner café.
