WHERE: Coogies, Malibu is an old staple with an old menu and relatively new decor.
For some inexplicable reason, my MoDaFoodie Daughter, Charlotte, decided that she wanted to have one of her 9th birthday celebration meals at Coogies with her Grandparents… My heart sank, and so did my stomach.
Anyone who lives in Malibu knows that Coogies is a last resort – a kind of jack-of-all-trades-master-of-none restaurant that every parent resents paying to eat at.
For me, as a ‘foodie’, this place also makes my mouth dry up with fear.

MOTHER SAYS:
I ate the Chocolate Cake… which is actually pretty good! The end.
(PS – The chocolate cake did not look like this… but I wish it had)
DAUGHTER SAYS:
My Mother told me that there was no dessert because we had eaten too much candy on my birthday, and then, as I sulked my way through the Happy Birthday Song with my head hanging down (see video below), a delicious Chocolate Cake appeared and I had to fight off my Mother to get a bite.
It was yummy, and made sweeter because I didn’t think I was getting anything good at the end of the meal.
Other than that, I had the Butter Pasta from the kid’s menu, which is not as good as my mom’s.
(The picture below gives you some idea of the size of the menu at Coogies… But there is a whole back side to it as well. Yikes!)
OVERALL RATING:
LOCATION/AMBIANCE: 7 out of 10 – In the heart of Malibu’s Webb Way Shopping Center next door to Bui Sushi (and owned by the same people), Coogies just seems like it should be in Riverside, or even Texas. We sat outside this time, which was better than the inside (despite the recent renovation which doubled the booth seating capacity), but I still felt vulnerable for some reason.
SERVICE: 8 out of 10 – Friendly enough staff. Good enough service.
FOOD: 8 out of 10 – no comment!
OVERALL: 8 out 10 – If you are 5 years old, you will love this place… other than that, it is only worth visiting to stave off starvation.
