The Peafowl
The Arboretum is famous for its roaming peafowl — spring is prime tail-display season.
Plan Your Visit
Stay for lunch. Stay for the peacocks.
Take the tram or walk through the gardens — then rest, refuel and watch the wildlife from our patio.
About the Peacock Cafe
A garden café with a story.
For decades the Peacock Cafe has been the Arboretum's gathering spot — a place where walkers stop for coffee, families share burgers on the patio and couples celebrate under the oaks.
Today the café is run by Carlos Manjarrez and Nicole Olivas of The Fresh Gourmet, the Arboretum's exclusive caterer. Day to day we serve breakfast, lunch and snacks; on evenings and weekends our team turns the terrace and gardens into one of the San Gabriel Valley's most beloved event venues.
