From the article http://www.mtwilson.edu/cafe.pdf

"MOUNT WILSON, CA — Visitors to the world-famous Mount Wilson
Observatory can once again enjoy a memorable lunch among the telescope
domes and Ponderosa pines up in the clear air overlooking the Los Angeles
Basin. The Mount Wilson Institute today announced the opening of the “Cosmic
Café” where visitors to this historic site can purchase fresh-made sandwiches,
hot dogs, soft drinks, snacks and souvenirs. Not since 1992 has food been
available for purchase at the Observatory to enhance the visitor experience or to
refresh hikers as they reach the mountain’s summit.

The Cosmic Café is located in the open-air pavilion overlooking the large parking
lot just inside the gate to what has been known as Skyline Park since the 1970s.
The pavilion serves as the entry point to the Observatory grounds."
 
I note the article from which you quote is just over 1 year old. Still appears to be open weekends only, looking at it currently. Also note that in theory you need that dumbass National Forest Adventure Pass-or a Golden Age Passport-to park at the main lot just off the highway, from which you walk 1/4 mile up to the observatory. Anybody here been up there?

Went up on the Guzzi about 3 year ago with no hassle. As far as I know, it's open to the public. I don't recall any signage. I just parked and walked around.
If over 62, a National Parks Pass is a bargin.
