I generally have positive experiences but encountered some passive aggressive customer service today from one of the employees. After getting my order, I asked about membership discount. She made an unnecessary comment that it usually needs to be said at the start. I respectfully let her know that it was my first time trying to apply the discount as a new member. Then as I tried to pay, she got distracted by something and I was left alone to complete the transaction. When it wasn't working a few times, I asked if they accept contactless payment. She again had a passive aggressive tone as she responded saying that the machine was asking me a question. The whole encounter could've been so much more different if she was more kind and professional in her demeanor but she spoke to me as if I was a nuisance.

Delicious iced espresso and Matcha!

I got the caramel macchiato. Same problem with a lot of places - sweet stuff sank to the bottom. Espresso had this bitter, metallic taste.
Not my first time experiencing this here. The ambiance is lovely when no one is in there. It takes me back a few decades in my imagination, certainly. It feels like I’m somewhere else entirely, like a bustling city street corner in the northeast United States, but right in the middle of the Huntington, with no one else around. Unique experience.
The ice cream is the attraction for me - of the thicker, richer variety. I forget - I believe it is provided by McConnell’s.

Red car is a nice little coffee shop that conveniently located at the Huntington library (right by the entrance). They have both indoor and outdoor seating. Except drinks and pastries, I'm glad that they also sell Fosselman's ice cream, sandwiches, yoghurt parfait, fruits and snacks in the store. They opens early at 8am, and drinks and food are allowed to bring into the Huntington library.

Eating a stick of ice cream and ending the garden visit has become a routine itinerary.

Red Car Coffee Shop is a delightful spot for coffee enthusiasts and visitors looking for a cozy break. With its inviting atmosphere and an array of coffee blends and pastries, it's a perfect place to unwind. What's even better, members of the Huntington Library enjoy a special discount here, making it a must-visit spot for both locals and tourists.

Adorable, and opens before the gardens do, if you need a place to wait before it opens.

No keto options, those they have aren't

Ended our visit with an iced coffee and chocolate croissant. The baked goods aren’t cheap but the quality was ok.

Food is good. The staff cannot handle high volume, getting orders wrong and and not acting polite.
The place is nice but worst coffee ever
