After driving in to town from Los Angeles, I told my husband I wanted to grab a couple of coffees before going to his office, but I wanted to support a small shop instead of going in the the grocery store where they have a coffee chain kiosk inside. I believe in supporting small business! We had tried to visit Old Isabella Coffee twice before, but it was later in the afternoon and they were closed. I decided to give them a pass and try again since it's earlier. But today, we arrived before 1pm and parked. I went up the stairs to their entry door and it seemed very dark inside. The door was locked, and only then did I realize the blinds were closed. I checked the posted hours and they close at 1pm daily, but apparently they closed early on this day. A Friday, in a town that often leans on "weekenders" for increased business volume. While looking for the posted hours I saw the very friendly sign which shows a revolver pointing forward so you can look down the barrel of the gun and they proudly announce that there's nothing inside worth dying for. How warm and inviting! Well I, for one, was really looking forward to an amazing coffee beverage "to die for".. but now I know this won't be my place locally. I've tried 3 times and found myself alone at their place of business. In retrospect, the 3 ladies at the Starbucks inside the Vons store had a LINE of people waiting to buy coffee, snacks and lunch. As I joined the line, I casually said "I guess this is the place for great coffees in town!" and two of the guys in line said "they're reliably open, the service is great and have decent hours during the day". They were wearing yellow vests, maybe guys working on the street improvements or employees from SCE? If i owned a small business in a small town, i would definitely be pandering to just this type of customer. Extend operating hours, offer discounts to these contractors to bring them in daily! The guys said they're at Starbucks more than once a day, every day. That's a lot of opportunity lost to the little, local guy. So while I'm not usually a Starbucks person, when in KRV apparently they will be my go-to from now on. I tried to support local, but wasn't getting the support in return.

The woman serving me was ultra sweet, asked if I wanted any flavoring in the cappuccino ordered -- which we agreed varied only a little from a latte, like what -- and offered me an extra shot since their espresso drinks in a 12oz only come with 1 by default. The shop was ultra cute, with worn tables and chairs to sit at, a book case full of used books, and random antiques, cutlery, local artwork, and the like for sale. I think my drink was a little scalding, but it was a cold one outside so I'd like to think she steamed the milk up extra hot to retain its heat for my drive home.

I order a spiced chai as I am not a big coffee drinker. I was glad they had different options for me including oatmilk. They also had matcha on the menu and I look forward to getting that the next time. When you sit next to the window you can enjoy a peaceful view of the lake.

So good! They were very friendly and food was delicious. We went there twice over the weekend and…read moreI'd definitely recommend

My daughter got addicted to this place on a recent camping trip…read more It all started when my daughter went shopping during the day while most of our group was out risking our lives white water rafting. When we came back I could see something had changed in her. Instantly she starts to tell the group about this coffee spot she found. She started mumbling something about going back. It was her wide open eyes when she spoke that threw up the most curiosity. We agreed to have their coffee the next morning. She was bummed out and continued to bring up that place several more times that night. The next morning we sent a few from our group to go and get coffee for our large group. When they returned my daughter was thrilled. We all tried our different coffees and sampled some of the others and none of them tasted bad, even the caramel one was ok. That's right caramel is not a tasty drink, I said it. I drove by the place and it looked nice and clean but I never stepped in or encountered any employees. I just really enjoyed the coffees I tried but thank goodness I didn't get addicted like my poor daughter.

I used some of the "08er" seasoning on some Carne Asada And wow! EXCELLENT! Flavors were so go but not overpowering where it took away the natural flavor of the meat. Paired that with some of the Devils Den (Hot) Salsa and my tacos were better than anything I could go out and buy at any local food truck. Definitely worth buying.

As I was sampling and purchasing the salsa, the owner also said, I have a few seasoning salts. Ray offered me a sample of both and again, I was hooked. The blends that are used are tasty. I tried It on a rack of ribs that night and OMG. The taste of the seasoning enhanced the ribs to there full potential. I'm 100% sold on this seasoning. Thank you Brother Ray's for introducing me to this exceptional seasoning.
