The Peacock Cafe At The Arboretum

Coffee is the best in Orange County. Fantastic food. Yummy pastries. Please, please bring one of these to Rancho Santa Margarita! We need restaurants like this there and have some open spaces. Dietary restrictions: Many gluten and dairy free options.

The Peacock Cafe was a great way to end the day. We had talked about coming here for lunch, and after walking around all day in blistering weather, it was quite the refreshing experience to enter a cool, clean building that had a nice calm atmosphere. Did I mention working A/C? They had a nice simple selection of salads, sandwiches, and other bistro/cafe staples. I got the Baldwin Grilled Cheese that was actually really tasty and filling. I highly recommend stopping here to recharge.

Stop by on a fly. It was well worth it. It was a hot day but there was the nice shade..everywhere you walk...

If you are vegan/vegetarian beware that their beyond beef/ garden burgers are cooked on the same grill as their meat products.

The Peacock Cafe has a beautiful view of the Arboretum and features indoor and outdoor seating. You’ll be sure to see some Peacocks there! We had fun trying to take pics of them and they would walk and turn around. You’d have to wait for them to turn facing you. They have breakfast and lunch items such as Breakfast burritos, French toast, yogurt parfait, sandwiches, salads, hamburger/cheeseburger with fries, grilled cheese sandwiches, iced coffee and more. Some items are in their grab go packaged refrigerated section. We tried their breakfast burritos, cheeseburger with fries and iced coffee. The breakfast burrito is tasty and filling. I would have liked more than one small green salsa. They didn’t haven’t any more available. I couldn’t believe it! Most places give you multiple salsas. The cheeseburger with fries was yummy. The customer service could have been friendlier. You can eat in their lovely indoor or outdoor dining areas. Or bring a blanket, grab some food and have a picnic.
