Enjoying Idyllwild
Coffee & Tea: The Best Part of the Day
Coffee Shops definitely fit into the Food Scene, but we're spoiled in Idyllwild to enjoy A LOT of pretty amazing coffee and tea shops, so highlighting this under its very own category.
Amazingly delicious coffee with every plant-based milk imaginable. Try the chaggaccino for a delicious treat or a handcrafted boba tea (the strawberry is amazing).

If you're like me and love coffee, but don't know much about the nuance in varietals, tastes, and cultivation, swing by Black Mountain Coffee Roasters for a true treat and enjoy their coffee tasting (if it's sunny out, enjoy the experience outside by the firepit!).

The perfect location to pick up a hot beverage to enjoy while shopping and taking in the holiday lights. The hot apple cider is a particularly perfect drink in the winter!

City/town information
Idyllwild is nestled in the San Bernardino National Forest, so you get the beauty and escape of the national forest just a short distance from the hullabaloo of the city (great for SoCal locals looking to get away from San Diego, LA, Riverside, etc.). It feels like a true escape without the pain of having to travel far. I grew up in a neighboring mountain community, but it was nothing in comparison to Idyllwild -- Idyllwild is a beautiful community with a huge influence on the arts, great food, and community. Whether you want to get away from everyone or steal away to write your screenplay in a quiet cabin and the local coffee shops, Idyllwild is the place to go.

Straight-forward menu, but miraculously open past 8 pm, so this is a great "late night" (aka 9 pm) restaurant and perfect for dining in or takeaway if you're arriving late on the mountain, but want a hot meal.

TEMPORARILY CLOSED; ORDER-AHEAD MEALS SEVERAL DAYS A WEEK.
This place is DELICIOUS and the staff is so warm and caring. Whether you dine in or take out, you'll have everything you need and then some to enjoy your meal. Nestled at the end of town, it's peaceful and their outdoor dining space is perfect when the sun is shining. For the ranch dressing lovers, this place's ranch is legit (and when I asked for some for my fries they kindly loaded me up with a double serving).

Fantastic brunch spot with delicious coffees, teas, and inventive eats. Their chicken dumpling soup is incredibly comforting and delicious when it's cold outside. Afterwards, up boba or coffee at Alpaca Coffee & Tea to enjoy back at the cabin!

A very sweet and special bakery with areas out back in the woods to kick back and enjoy your coffee, but perfectly acceptable (and kind of perfect) to take your delicious baked goodies to go. Highlights: Cinnamon rolls and sticky buns the size of your face, trail mix cookies, and amazing pies.

Great shop for rocks and crystals. Buy a closed geode and use their geode cracking pirate's wheel for a truly awesome experience for the little ones (or just the young at heart).
