Take a Hike! Try “Destination Dining” at the Heart N Soul

 Want to do something different with the entire family, or maybe just with that special someone? Want to see the beauty of nature, get some fresh air, or just feel the sun on your face in a place away from crowds? Consider taking a scenic drive to experience “destination dining” at the Heart N Soul Coffee House and Home Cookin’ Café. Yes, you can “take a hike” and have a great meal in a home-town atmosphere only minutes from the bustle of town. Go north on San Francisquito Canyon from where it begins at Copper Hill Road. City life quickly turns to rolling landscape with beautiful mountain vistas. In 15-minutes you arrive at a truly extraordinary dining destination surrounded by the beauty of the Angeles National Forest, ringed by the Sierra Pelona Ridge Mountains, and complete with many nearby hiking trails.
An eclectic eatery, Heart N Soul has a mellow vibe and savory comfort food that focuses on flavor. Plentiful platters of savory culinary delights are created by inspired fine-dining chefs, combining elements of different culinary traditions. They serve mouth-watering contemporaneous dishes – ask about the secret menu! Specials of the moment complement daily home-cooked classics. Stroganoff, meat loaf, fish-n-chips, meat, chicken and fish tacos, Italian meatballs, Canadian poutine, creamy American mac n cheese, garlic smashed potatoes, nutty raspberry coleslaw, crisp waffle fries, fresh salads, homemade soups, the best steak chili ever, and so much more. Save room for dessert! Enormous thick milkshakes, sundaes, cheesecake, and one-of-a-kind fresh-baked chocolate chip pecan “Dirty Hand Cookies.” (Try one with a creamy cappuccino, a fresh espresso, or a big glass of cold milk.)
Heart N Soul features friendly service, too, with a cozy indoor bistro, and a dog-friendly outdoor dining courtyard. It can accommodate large parties or families, but also has romantic tables for two. It serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner: enjoy blue sunny skies by day, and nighttime diamonds in the sky.
