The food is okay but the views are incredible. We are thankful to have this Cafe at the top of Mount Wilson! If you hike up it's always nice to get a refreshment or a chili dog with cheese and onions.

You can't beat the view from the cafe. The food looked passable but nothing special. I don't think they cook it up there anymore.

After a long and challenging hike up the Mt. Wilson Trail, we were excited to visit the Cosmic Cafe at the summit. It's a charming spot, perfect for taking a break and refueling after the trek. The cafe offers a cozy atmosphere with a beautiful view, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal.
However, we were a bit disappointed on our visit as they didn't have the banana split ice cream that day, which we were really looking forward to. Despite that, the other menu items were satisfying and provided a much-needed energy boost.
The Cosmic Cafe is a convenient and pleasant spot for hikers, but be sure to have a backup plan for your snack choices just in case your favorite treat isn't available. Overall, it's a nice place to unwind and take in the stunning views after reaching the top of Mt. Wilson.

Not a bad turkey sandwich, but not for $18. And the views here are amazing?
The guy selling MW Observatory merch from a table behind the cafe is a nincompoop. Thereâs no cell service up on the mountain and he doesnât think to let customers, the ones asking questions and who just drove for hours to get there, that heâs about to close up early and bug out.

We came for the telescopes, hike and the view- not the food.
Cosmic cafe sells passes for the 1:00 tour on Saturdays. You can also just hike the area and go view the telescope on your own.
The food is pricey, but consider it a donation to keep this historic place going. There are bathrooms, a water bottle refill station and clearly marked paths.
The parking is pretty good with two possible parking areas. We had a delicious cookie, a wrap and a hot dog.
The best part is the view. You feel like youâre eating in the clouds. It does get very cold so pack a sweater and grab a hot beverage.
Remember to throw away all your food because this is an active bear area.
Amazing location for the cafe đ We enjoyed a hot cup of coffee and the view .
I LOVE COSMIC CAFĂ!!
THE SERVICE IS INCREDIBLE!
THANK YOU!!
Today we hiked to Mt Wilson, it rained, showed, we were cold and wet by the time we got to the peak, we had the best hot chocolate, coffee here. And the best part the staff let all the hikers stay warm inside the café. Thank you for your great service
