The Tree House Cafe: The Boulder Creek Coffee Shop With Redwoods Inside It
Living redwoods rise through the floor and roof of the Tree House Cafe, and the tables fit into the irregular spaces around them. The trees predate the cafe: the same pair appeared in listings for Boulder Creek Roasting Company at 13266 Highway 9, and the Hair Hut in the building also has a redwood through its roof.
The cafe serves at the counter. There is espresso and drip coffee, breakfast, sandwiches, bagels, baked goods and ice cream. For me, it is the quick stop across from the fire station: a latte to carry away, or a scoop of ice cream by the creek on a hot day.
The room is the part no menu can convey. Tables and walkways bend around the trunks rather than following a rectangular floor plan.
Hours
The cafe does not publish a dependable current schedule on a standalone website. Call 831-610-8912 before planning around an opening time.
The menu
The boards cover breakfast plates and sandwiches, a build-your-own lunch counter, salads, espresso drinks, teas, seasonal cold drinks and Marianne's ice cream. The full snapshot below carries the August 2026 prices.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the redwoods really inside the building?
Yes. Living redwoods pass through the interior of the cafe. That's where the name comes from.
Does the Tree House Cafe have a website?
No. It posts on Facebook and Instagram instead. For anything time-sensitive, call 831-610-8912.
What does it serve?
Coffee and espresso drinks, breakfast, and a lunch counter with sandwiches, bagels, and baked goods. It's counter service rather than table service.
Where is it exactly?
13266 Highway 9, at the north end of the Boulder Creek business district, near the creek. It's a short distance up from the main downtown block.
Is it the same as the Tree House in Australia?
No. This can cause confusion online. There's an unrelated business with a near-identical name in Boulder Creek, Queensland. If a page you find is in Australia, it's not this cafe.
The cafe has no standalone website. Check its social pages or call 831-610-8912 for current hours and menu availability.
