We tried the samosas, chai, and hot chocolate with whipped cream, and everything was really good and fresh. The cafe offers plenty of outdoor seating options with beautiful views.

Cafe has limited hours, drinks were slightly too sweet for my taste, but the Mount Madonna Center kitchen next door was amazing. These entities are related and I will leave a combined review. The salads were wonderful, with slight variations in the vinaigrette dressings. The food was mostly vegan, a few vegetarian items were clearly labeled, gluten was also labeled. The pancakes and tofu scramble were the best I have ever tasted. The specialty salads were great. I took photos of some of my favorite dishes...

This small cafe serves samosa, chai and other snacks for temple and Mount Madonna visitors. I used to have snacks with family and friends after temple darshan. Over the years, they have grown into a fully money-minded traders. During the last visit, one guy was visually searching every visitors and warning them that outside food was not allowed. He was specially warning visitors with small kids/ babies. The surprise element was that the price of snacks (tea and samosa) was trippled wtihin a few minutes after a surge of visitors at the cafe While, the owners certainly need to earn, it did not make any sense to me how they tried to maximize the benefits.

Love to grab a warm drink and some samosas in the late afternoon here. For those avoiding caffeine, I recommend the Rasayana, warm milk with a subtle flavor of saffron and cardamom, simple yet flavorful, just right for the atmosphere. Look at the images and captions on the walls as you wait for your drink. Stroll to the attached deck to enjoy the view as you sip your drink.
Vegetarian options: Amazing samosas, not too spicy and just right for the atmosphere.
Kid-friendliness: Cookies and warm milk are available.

A small cafe located near to Sankat Mochan Hanuman temple.Lot of option for drinks and samosa served with chutney.We had samosa and hot chocolate with whipped cream, really good and fresh. It is small place, but plenty of spaces to sit outside in beautiful view.
RESERVATIONS REQUIRED. We weren't aware this was part of a retreat center. After a long drive, we were turned away at the gate and didn't get the chance to enjoy it.

Even the cafe looks as beautiful as the temple and surroundings. Amazing how they kept the theme well maintained. The cafe does not serve meals, except for samosas on Saturdays and Sundays. An inspired menu of hot and cold drinks as well as snacks are available. We have ordered Samosa, Ashwagandha Hot Chocolate. Hot drinks are a must try. There is plenty of seating around the cafe and also with the mountain overlook area.

I rode my bike up Mt Madonna Rd from the Watsonville side and made Anjaneya’s my destination. A great reward of views, ambiance, and drink after a challenging ride.

The chai is said to be the best in the States. Imported recipes from India including whole spices make it refreshing in cold and hot weather. They make it veg/vegan with a variety of milks.
The samosas on Saturday are soo sooo good.

A small cafe at the Sankat Mochan Hanuman temple premises. It is a small place with outdoor seating, and with a view. There are a lot of options for drinks, including chai, tea and hot chocolate, with a lot of variations in the same. As for food, the only option was samosa, served with chutney. There were to-go like protein bars, milk and dark chocolate and other organic goodies.
