The caramels are rich and luxurious and the truffle was amazing with a great bourbon flavor. I enjoyed the pecan on the outside. Good customer service. There was a line, but it moved rather fast.

I love buying candy on Amazon that's from Germany, France, Brazil, etc. I don't think they had a great selection of vegan prepared sweets, they do make prepared sweet treats behind the counter and I don't think there was an obviously labeled vegan option. Also would have loved if they had a loyalty program or a check in offer for people who review on Yelp or Google Reviews. Service was fine though, they were very kind.

Is it a must anytime you go somewhere and there's an ice cream shop? Of course in my opinion, you…read morecan never have too much ice cream. Anytime we make a day trip up to Idyllwild, this place is always a definite favorite. Summer in the mountains with ice cream dripping down your hands. The good old days when you were younger but now it's in a cup...lol... Messy and sticky fingers hits differently these days when you're older. Saturday afternoon and there was a line at this place. Good for them and thats usually a good sign whenever you go somewhere. We've been a few times and each has been great. It's a little ice cream shop along the main strip of town. Their downtown area where all the restaurants, shops, wineries and so on. Always a line when we come but it does move fast. The menus on the front counter wall so you can check it out before you get to the front. After you order, there's a pager that's given to you. Pick up is around the side when your pager goes off. It's not a big ice cream parlor, with 2 small tables and chair in-front of the ordering counter and a couple of bigger tables on the side of the building. We went with the sampler tray I believe it's called. Four different flavors in individual cups for 12.00. It was a little wait as it seemed like there was only one worker on deck. She was taking orders and scooping the ice cream. The other person could be on break or lunch. Anyways, it was ok. The four flavors were quite nice but one was just ok. Our least favorite, the coconut which was an additional 1.00 added to the order. The others three was excellent. Of course I would forget the all the flavors but remember the one we didn't like. Ice cream was great, the one we enjoyed. It was nice to just have a seat and enjoy the treat. Everyone that was there was doing the same, enjoying their treats. It's like a staple here in the mountain. I didn't know if there's any other ice cream shop in town but this one is worth it and alway a must for us when in town. Until next time.

This place is located in the very charming and cute "funky bazaar". I ended up getting the mocha bc I still needed the caffeine fix, although I need to make another weekend trip back up to try their sipping chocolates. The mocha was rich, dense, and delicious. Of course, I had to grab some chocolate since it was staring back at me from the counter. I got the Turkish fig ensemble and it was the perfect companion treat for my mocha. Thanks for satisfying my sweet tooth, el buen cacao!

It was a warm day, so we opted for a couple of their iced specialty drinks. Unfortunately, I can't remember exactly what they were called, but I definitely remember how refreshing and delicious they were. They're the kind of drinks you keep thinking about long after you've finished them. Places like this are what make exploring local coffee shops so much fun. Great drinks, genuine hospitality, and an atmosphere that makes you want to slow down and stay awhile. Thanks again for the wonderful experience, we'll definitely be back the next time we're in the area.

This is definitely a popular place on the weekends, but nevertheless our order was brought out to us promptly despite the growing scene. Like most of Idyllwild, we were glad to dine somewhere pet inclusive! I did however notice that there weren't any water bowls outside. Not a problem if you come prepared with collapsible water bowls like we do--which we filled ourselves at the self-serve water station-- but I thought I should mention as a general FYI if you're traveling light with your furry friends. The bagels were divine! The Lox bagel was fresh and filling, while the pastrami melt was warm and savory. My fiancé wasn't a fan of the Dirty Dr. Pepper, but I suppose it's just a matter of taste. Overall, we simply enjoyed the light camaraderie amongst other patrons, while still feeling like we had a blissful corner of the patio to ourselves. We hope to visit again soon!

In September 2025 they moved across the street from their old location (I got lost finding the new shop!). To save you time finding it, it's tucked behind The Owl Pine Shop, which is to the southwest (left) of the Speakeasy Bookmarket and Raven Hill Bagels/Collective. If you're driving up North Circle Drive towards Humber Park, it's on the left, across the street from the record shop past Nomad Ventures. I'm not exactly sure where you're supposed to park, but I parked on the street. They have these nice aluminum cups and will discount future drinks if you bring it back (my cup is a few years old and looking great). The coffee is really phenomenal -- I only drink black coffee. My iced coffee was massive and $5 with the discount for the reusable cup. They offer beans too (didn't see the price) and they have these fancy dark chocolate bars that probably would pair well with a coffee. Staff is always friendly!

The highlight of my last trip to Idyllwild was enjoying a Vietnam light roast in this serene little space. You can buy freshly roasted bags to take home. Incredible. The owner knows his stuff- just ask and he will recommend the perfect blend or single origin bean for your palate whether you are new to specialty coffee or an experienced connoisseur. What a pleasure to be in a coffee shop run by someone who loves coffee as much as I do. I will be back every single time I am in the area. Thank you!
