Crystal Lake Cafe is a historic cafe and trading post located in the San Gabriel Mountains within the Angeles National Forest, at the end of Highway 39 and Crystal Lake Road, nearly 6,000 feet above sea level. The cafe serves homemade food and supplies to visitors of the nearby Crystal Lake Campground, as well as hikers on the Pacific Crest Trail, just over two miles away.

Offering rustic cabin rentals that accommodate four to five guests, Crystal Lake Cafe is an ideal escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. The area boasts an abundance of hiking trails and is home to Crystal Lake, a spring-fed lake known for its fish populations, including trout, bluegill, and bass, making it a popular destination for fishing enthusiasts.
