Our Red W**e Braised Short Ribs have become a Café favorite - the kind of slow-cooked, comforting meal that makes you feel at home.

Served with crispy smashed p*e wee potatoes, jus, and seasonal vegetables, it’s a dish you can return to again and again.

What changes is what’s growing at the farm. Our CCOF Certified Organic Café Farm is less than a mile from the Café, and the vegetables on the plate shift with the season and what’s at its best right now. So every version of this familiar favorite carries a little of Los Olivos with it - not just in the feeling it creates, but in the ingredients themselves.

A comforting favorite, with a taste of home that changes with the season. 🌱🍷🤍

There’s a moment when the Alba arrives at the table and the truffle oil gives it away before anyone has even taken a bite. That unmistakable aroma travels, heads turn, and the neighboring tables wonder, “What did they order?” ✨

The Alba is earthy, creamy, savory, and wonderfully aromatic - a trio of mushrooms layered with ricotta, three cheeses, Parmesan, Café Farm arugula, and a finishing drizzle of truffle oil.

The mushrooms bring a deep, savory richness, the ricotta adds softness and creaminess, and the arugula cuts through with a fresh, peppery bite. 🌿🤍

Our seasonal specials are inspired by what’s growing at our CCOF Certified Organic Café Farm, changing throughout the year with what’s fresh and at its best.

Right now, it’s our Mexican Street Corn Special: sweet Café Farm organic corn with cilantro, scallions, elote sauce, Aleppo, Parmesan, and lemon. 🌽✨

A pretty delicious way to celebrate what’s in season!

When the craving lands somewhere between hearty and fresh, savory and bright, comforting and a little indulgent - meet our Parmesan Gnocchi. 🌿

This is the dish for a cool evening when you want something satisfying enough to feel like a treat, but bright and fresh enough to keep you coming back for another bite. The kind of dinner you savor slowly, one forkful at a time. 🤍

The produce used in this dish is grown at our CCOF Certified Organic Café Farm, just 0.8 miles from the Café, while the gnocchi is made in-house. Fresh, local ingredients and house-made gnocchi come together in a dish that lets the season shine. 🌱☀️

Same soil. A whole range of textures, colors, and flavors. 🌿☀️

From crisp Little Gem and sturdy romaine to delicate butter lettuce, frisée, kale, and cabbage, the Café Farm grows an ever-changing variety of leafy greens, each with its own character.

Crisp. Tender. Frilled. Sturdy. Peppery. Delicate.

This is what local tastes like. 🌿

Crisp, creamy, smoky, crunchy - everything you want in a forkful.

Our Grilled Wedge starts with crisp Café Farm romaine, grilled until lightly charred, then layered with tomatoes, red onion, ranch, bacon, and gorgonzola, finished with balsamic vinaigrette and a drizzle of balsamic reduction.

The romaine, tomatoes, and red onion are grown just down the road at our CCOF Certified Organic Café Farm. From the moment they’re harvested to the moment they’re served, they travel less than a mile. 🌿

Grown at the Café Farm and used across the menu, tomatoes show up in different forms- each playing a different role depending on the dish, reflecting how farm-fresh ingredients are incorporated in many ways at Los Olivos Café 🍅

- In the Niçoise, they bring bright acidity that lifts olives, capers, and rare ahi.
- In the Grilled Wedge, they add fresh contrast to bacon, gorgonzola, and balsamic.
- On the Hamburger, they cut through richness with clean freshness.
- In the Vegan Farm Harvest Spaghetti, roasted tomatoes build the base of the sauce- deep, concentrated, and savory.
- In the Steak Cobb, they add balance to the more robust, savory elements.
