First time trying this place and hands down turned out to become one of my top favorite coffee shops. The coffee was perfectly coffee flavor without it being overly sugary that you usually typically get nowadays at coffee chains. Bagel was delicious and stuffed!!! My husband and son got the strawberry banana smoothie and they enjoyed it as well. Not artificial tasting, but that actual strawberry flavor. I definitely recommend and will be back. read more

Cozy and cleen room and bath. Outdoor seating was nice for morning coffee. We appreciated closeness to park

Looks like a very popular spot as shortly after 8:30, there was a line spanning the whole place. We got two almond orange blossom lattes as the April special. We also got the cowboy cookie, basic rings on everything, and a chocolate scone. Lots of coffee flavor options and a nice soft bagel. Cozy interior and friendly staff. Great place to get breakfast. read more

I think I just had the best everything bagel I'm in love! Coffee was delicious as well. Great service!! read more

Can't believe that it's been 7 years since we first visited this coffee shop on the way out of King's Canyon! We vowed to return and stay in the cottages and have breakfast at the coffee shop every morning because it was that good. Happy to report it's just as good as we remember and waking up to the smell of their freshly brewed coffee is a bonus. Service is friendly and prompt as usual and their coffee and food are great. read more

We stopped by Clingans Junction early on a Sunday, hoping to beat the rush. They were already busy by 7:15 AM, probably because there were only 2 employees working. The interior had a rustic, cabin-like vibe, with plenty of seating. I ordered an Iced Lavender Latte (with an extra shot of espresso) and the Cali Ring. The latte was tasty, but definitely needed that extra shot. I'm always underwhelmed by west coast bagels, but I did enjoy the Cali Ring as a sandwich overall. The turkey-provolone combo hit the spot! Service was generally friendly, but not quick. Overall, Clingans Junction was worth the visit! read more

We stopped here on our way to Kings Canyon and im glad we did because their coffee is amazing. I tried their chai pumpkin latte and their caramel macchiato and both were amazing. We algo got a cranberry scone, a lemon coconut cookie and 2 cinnamon rolls that they offered to warmed up. I wanted to stop by again on our way back but they were closed unfortunately. Service is awesome too. 1000/10 read more

Great little spot! Good coffee, homemade bagels and cookies. A nice surprise on the way in and out of the park. Definitely worth a stop!

Visited here on a trip and honestly every coffee was so delicious!!! It was super busy but they still got the drinks out. I loved the pumpkin spice latte and the Milky Way read more

Great place for breakfast with nice coffee, bagels and smoothies. It's busy in the morning, there's a short wait, seemed like they were understaffed. The bagels were pretty good, both the basic ring and spicy bagel were our favorite. Their smoothies were made from frozen fruits not fresh fruits. A little gem to stop for breakfast on the way to kings canyon national park read more

Best bagel ever. The butterscotch iced coffee is so good that I drive 30 miles from Home to get one. Makes life worth living

What an incredible hidden gem--tucked away seemingly in the middle of nowhere, just before the north entrance to Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks! We discovered this place through Google Maps while searching for the nearest café to the park, and we were genuinely impressed by how amazing it turned out to be. We ordered lattes and a spicy jalapeño cheddar bagel with cream cheese, which was baked to perfection--fresh, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying. My mom, who always requests her lattes extra hot (and is usually disappointed no matter where we go), was thrilled this time. Her latte was actually served piping hot, and I've never seen her so pleased with the temperature--she couldn't stop talking about it! The café offers plenty of seating, with cozy fire heaters indoors and some outdoor spots as well, making it a welcoming and relaxing stop. We enjoyed our visit so much that we returned the very next day and ordered the exact same thing, even though the menu was full of other tempting options. One feature we appreciated was the ability to pre-order online, which was convenient. However, it would've been even better if we could choose a specific pickup time. Since we were coming from about 30 mins away and arrived later than expected, we asked if they could reheat our coffee--and they kindly did without hesitation. We also noticed that they offer cabin rentals, which would be a great option for anyone looking to stay overnight near the park. Overall, we had a fantastic experience here. The food, service, and setting exceeded our expectations, and the staff were incredibly friendly. Highly recommend stopping by if you're headed to the park! read more

Another way overdue review! I've been doing some much-needed photo and video purging on my phone and came across pictures from our visit here in August of last year. I'm not sure how long this establishment has been here, but it was the 2nd or 3rd time driving past it on our way up to Kings Canyon. I've been camping there with family and friends since 2008. But back to the topic. In August of 2023, we finally stopped in. First on our way up the mountain and then again at the end of our camping trip. The iced coffee really hit the spot on a nice sunny day, especially after packing up camp. The two girls at the front were very friendly and helpful in offering recommendations. I went for the Honey orange blossom latte and the rest of the group opted for white chocolate mochas and caramel frappes. We all enjoyed our drinks. The place itself was clean, charming and modest. I want to say there was a more cozy area near the back with some board games. There's a restroom right outside of the coffeehouse, small but clean. I would definitely stop by again after a few days of roughing it out at camp. read more

The place is great, and the food is excellent as well. My only recommendation is to stop serving food in plastic containers and providing plastic straws. There is simply too much plastic waste, and more sustainable alternatives would make the experience even better. read more

Perfect spot to have coffee or tea and grab a little something on your way up to the sequoia's. Its nestled in a corner where you can sit and relax for a moment and take in the fresh air and beauty around you. The Shoppe is very clean, roomy and so family friendly you'll want to stay for a while. The service is great, the staff is friendly and you won't be waiting long for your order as they are quite fast read more

Came in to have coffee and breakfast a few weeks ago. My vanilla latte was great! I had an everything bagel with avocado which was super tasty. They let me sit around and work on my computer for quite awhile. Really kind and friendly folks here. Next time I want to stay in one of their cabins, I'm sure they are as cute and clean as the coffee shop. I'll be back whenever I'm in the area. read more

Service is friendly and the coffee is great. Cozy tables inside but outside is the best if weather permits. Grab a coffee and baked good and the. Drive up the hill to the big trees. We always enjoy a stop at Clingan's Junction! Hours are limited so make sure to get there early. read more

If you guys want to wait 20+ mins for a drink and bagel. Be my guest, they need more employees or something

The place was super cute. The everything Bagel was literally the BEST bagel I've ever had hands down, It was soft and moist Just so delicious and service was excellent! Oh, and the Snickers hot coffee is so delicious. read more

This place is right on top of our "Places to try" list at Sequoia and kings canyon national park. Ambiance is aesthetically pleasing with tables inside and outside the shop right next to Highway 180. We ordered 1. Maple pecan scone 2. Vanilla scone 3. Everything bagel with Meat lover 4. Plain bagel with avocado 5. Signature iced coffee (Milky way & snickers) We ended up having scones and coffee for breakfast and packed bagels for lunch since there's not much exciting up there in Kings canyon. Staff were very sweet and explained the signature drinks in detail. Decent parking spots available! read more

Was heading home from Sequoia/Kings Canyon when we spotted this gem at the side of the road. It was the best decision to stop in and we were pleasantly surprised at how great both the drip coffee and vanilla latte drinks were. And amazing service and experience! We will definitely add this to our list to visit again on the next sequoia/kings canyon trip! If you're in the area, do not miss this gem! read more

I would not recommend this place, especially for minorities. I have personally experienced racism here, and have family and friends who have as well. Not only did employees give hostile looks that made us uncomfortable, but they also allow other customers to make inappropriate, racial comments. I felt unsafe and intimidated, and will never return. I would never recommend this place to anyone. Place is very cute, but it's unfortunate that myself and many others I personally know have experienced this. read more

LOVE THIS PLACE! It's our "go to" for a cozy morning coffee and delicious breakfast quiche sandwich in the winter, and a refreshing ice-tea and Turkey-avacado sammy in the summer. The food is all scrumptious - homemade bagels and scones. Employees are as quality as the food and drink! The barista with the colorful and beautiful tattoos is awesome! A must visit on your way to the amazing Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks/Forest! read more

Simple jalapeño bagel and cream cheese. Beautiful setting. Ambiance was perfekt Cabin look great! I remember when this was the Hummingbird. I used to take my boys there when they were babies. Today I return with my youngest of years old now! Wow this place has changed. Very grown up now read more

So glad we stopped by this charming coffee shop. This hidden gem is one of the few bizs not too far from Kings Canyon. We stopped on our way to Sequoia National Park because the main roads were closed. It was a pretty popular spot! I'm thinking this was because it was the only coffee shop in the area. I will warn you that if you are in a rush, you might want to pass. We came on a Friday morning and there were only two people working there. Our order took 25 minutes to come out. My partner ordered a latte and I got their matcha latte with strawberry foam special. When it finally came, it was a tasty treat. It's a very lovely and beautiful space within the mountains. I loved the outdoor seating. If you have time to wait, it's a nice stop. read more

Love the vibe here. Staff is friendly. We have been here twice and both times everything was amazing. Sometimes the wait it long and sometimes it isn't. The maple pecan scone was delicious and had a bit of a bite at the end. The blueberry scone was full of blueberries and moist. Their scones are very moist, which is rare for scones. Their lavender latte is amazing! I have yet to order anything else here. We ordered my daughter a plain bagel and cream cheese and it was the best bagel I have ever had! I'm sorry I didn't order one of all the bagels! Maybe on my next visit. read more

I love this little coffee spot. Perfect little get away from the valley and perfect coffee pickup from the mountain community! Seating inside and out, beautiful views, dog friendly outside, and even little games inside. A little rushed with ordering but fast service when waiting. Lots of seating. Mainly parking on the side of the road although they have parking it's small. And last to mention they have little "cabins" to rent out behind for anyone looking to stay a night. Great place to stop and relax before/after a trip to the national park read more

Good spot. The vibe inside was really nice-- natural and warm, plenty of seating options, and even games to play. I got the Cali Ring which was tasty. I also got the sunset lemonade which was supposed to be cherry, rose, and pineapple. The drink tasted really artificial-- almost like Minute Maid from a soda fountain. Also, it took forever to place an order-- very slow-moving at the register. read more

Beautiful place, definitely can see coming here to relax and read while having a good cup of Joe! And good is what it is, I wouldn't say great coffee, it isn't the best I've had but it's not horrible! And the fresh bakery items are delicious!! The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because I've had better coffees, but I still recommend stopping here. The staff was super kind and timely, other reviews I've seen say that it was slow and they seemed overwhelmed, but we definitely disagree with that. It didn't seem like they were overwhelmed at all, and we got our coffee and warm breakfast within 7 minutes of placing our order. Overall, great place. Definitely need to try a scone next time cause they look insanely delicious read more

Frequent this cute coffee shop often on our way up to Kings canyon & upon walking in the lady screams from across the room "WE DONT ALLOW DOGS." Very unfortunate bc I was only holding my small dog so I can take a look at the menu and pastries, place an order and then wait outside. I wouldnt even let my dog touch the ground inside bc I am that mindful!!!! They should have a sign that says SERVICE DOGS ONLY! I mean what If my dog was a service dog? By law you could not discriminate... now in this case my dog was not but this is how you treat people??? Anyway, probably wont come here anymore based on this rude experience. read more

We stumbled upon this place on our way from Sequoia. What a hidden gem!!! From glitter coffee with ever flavor you can think of, to the most amazing handmade buttery scones, this place was a showstopper. We went back for seconds and thirds... The staff was very kind, and the vibe was so warm and inviting. Highly recommend making a stop here! read more

Service is HORRIBLE I thought maybe it was because the first time we went it was super busy so we said, "fine let's give it another try" And yet again our barista was extremely unfriendly and not helpful at all with the menu Also if you're speaking Spanish your service won't be great either The Coffee is NOT good You're better off making a latte at home Bagels were mediocre at best Won't be coming here ever again read more

I love the vibes here. The seating area is so cute with a few games to play while waiting for food and drinks. This place is a hot spot as it sits near an intersection. The wait is a short while but the ambiance is amazingly peaceful that we did not mind at all. They have a small but yummy menu. We got the bagels which were scrumptious. I got the pumpkin chai with vanilla bean cloud foam and it was slightly sweet but delicious! We visited twice and both times were great experiences. read more

Food is good, great coffee choices. Very rude server who yelled at us about our very small dog after another server politely reminded us to keep the dog outside and we were complying. Her attitude was very upsetting. Hopefully the owner will recognize who the server is (very colorful in dress and tats) We will only go back if she's not there. Very sad as we live just 10 minutes away. read more

Clingans cabins and coffee junction, which is cutely named simply coffee on the outside is the cutest quaint little coffee shop about 30 mins from kings canyon. They have a ton of flavors including lavender and rose which I absolutely adore. The woman at the front who took our order was very nice and helpful when it came to order different drinks that were not specifically on the menu. They have a cute selection of pastries and bagels to choose from. Flat white with lavender was 10/10 read more
