Franklin's Cafe & Market - Griffith Park

David Webb

Came here Tuesday in the afternoon and it was great! Plenty of parking (amazing in LA), great coffee and very friendly and helpful Baristas, and the food was really good. I had the breakfast burrito and it was so much food and really delicious, also prompt service. Nice fun spot to go to after a hike or before tee time, or just if you’re going for a long walk up Griffith. Would recommend and come back. Also they have an open mic here? Sounds like a good time to come back!

Really awesome Kimchi! My 11 year old daughter said it was also the best burger she's ever had. Prices are about what I'd expect with a big tourist spot in LA. But totally worth it!!

Unfortunately this is the only photo I have, since I’ve ate my Mac n Cheese pretty quickly. We came back 3 times during our stay due to GREAT pricing (!!!) and awesome service. The staff was amazing, the food was exceptional and the court in the back is a great view. There’s indoor and outdoor seating, a lot of food and snack options as well. Oh, great to watch some football too.

Such a nice spot to refresh after golf or hiking. In a great location just across from The Greek Theater in the Griffith Park.

The blueberry mango muffin is great. The cafe is very peaceful and great music. Golf course is close and the nature seating makes it special.

I’m from Florida but when I’m in LA I go there often. I’ve had breakfast at lunch and both have been delicious I’ve never gotten any food I didn’t love and they also have homemade baked items that are the best! It’s on the golf course and it’s a very peaceful environment outside Lovely view The service has always been excellent. Also, their coffee and teas are very good! And I always enjoy the specials they may be running on different drinks! I highly recommend this café for delicious food, wonderful atmosphere, beautiful view, and good service

Fantastic staff, everyone is so friendly! This place is a real hidden gem. All of their items are great, my new favorite is the seasonal chocolate covered strawberry late! Can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Such a cute relaxed vibe, definitely a great spot for an afternoon coffee or post hike meal.

Wasn’t looking to eat when stumbling upon this place. The atmosphere was great! The cooks, and the girls taking the orders were all very nice! Outstanding service. Food was quick, and DELICIOUS! I ended up ordering another plate to take home. Also one of the girls drives an EG hatch, which is a big plus!

Love it here! The baristas are actually really cool too

Great little spot for a great coffee and maybe a muffin, or something else that might sound good at the time. The staff are incredibly friendly and polite. Liv was there the day I visited. She was a pleasure to speak with and was funny. Just across the street from here there's a little park and there are nature trails that lead you all the way up to the Griffith observatory. I highly recommend if you're into hiking or walking to take these trails they lead to the spectacular views of LA and the Hollywood sign. If you're in the area or plan on going to the Griffith observatory, stop by and say hi to Liv and get a cup of coffee and a delicious muffin 🧁

Nice spot here! Very cool decor. Adjacent to the golf facility. Usually enough parking in the lot out front. Cool minimalist ecstatic. Food and drink was varied and pretty deep in terms of selection. The pricing is likely on par with typical golf cafes (a little inflated).

During our visit to this spot en route to the Griffith Observatory, we indulged in a Bimbimap fried rice bowl paired with a couple of cappuccinos. While the initial cost gave us pause, we were pleasantly surprised by the bowl's ample portion size; it was more than enough for two. Notably, the unexpected touch of spiciness caught our attention in the most delightful way.

Burger was light and delicious but the tater tots were a shell of what they use to be. Allot crunch on the outside, no substance on the inside. The cafe environment is nice though very chill vibe.

Food is okay plus, and given how this place is the epitome of convenience you can’t ask for more. They also have lots of alcohol. Negative side: the menu has lots of very similarly named items and the person at the counter won’t necessarily check that you are ordering what you think you are ordering. Beware of the “side” of fries, I’m not sure we ever got ours 😆 overall, for the cost and the location, and the fact that you are still prompted to tip at checkout, you would expect a more pleasant service. I’m Italian so I don’t need above and beyond service, but this one was leaning into the cocky/rude sector.

We went there for lunch and the food was really subpar. Frozen burgers and fries in to go boxes. The selection very limited and no service what so ever. Also the whole time we were there, a guy from the restaurant was sweeping around us and bringing dust to our food with no consideration.

Service too slow. A 30minute wait for some avocado on toast and there were no orders ahead of us.

They should invest in a convection oven. Microwave they use to warm the food they sell is proven bad for humans health. And I don't think it's reasonable to pay $10 for a slice of quiche and have it warmed up in the microwave. Today I specifically asked to ask the cook who was baking something in the oven to add my slice for a minute to warm up but he refused. Also a lot of waste with unrequeated boxes for food. And also the golfer keep SMOKING there, after all LA's been through this year with the fires ?! Seriously.
