This place has a super cute mountainy look to it and an expansive outdoor patio with nice views of the surrounding mountains. Location is a 5/5. Pricing is high for what you get here. Service is average. I came in the fall and wish they had a seasonal fall menu of drinks but didn't see anything. Overall an ok place to grab a coffee but not my top choice in town for price and seasonal menu offerings. read more

The service was friendly and the deck has a nice view of downtown, but that's about all of the positives. The cortado I ordered was middle-of-the-road (rating--3) and more like a latte and the semi-stale chocolate chunk cookie (1) tasted like it came from a bad grocery store bakery. The inside (1) was dingy, cluttered and smelled bad and parts looked like they hadn't been cleaned in months. Looks like owner/management is absentee or just doesn't care. My advice is grab-and-go some coffee if you really need a cup or sit on the deck if it's nice. read more

I love the Village Grind, I try and always stop when I pass through Wrightwood. The service is always friendly and kind. Sometimes on quiet days in town there is a wait because the cashier is also responsible for preparing the food/drinks, but it's always reasonable. The prices are very fair, they do not hit you with the "mountain tax" at all. The drip coffee is tasty and the espresso is good as well! I haven't had the pastries yet but they look good, especially the donuts, and I'm excited to come back and taste them. Today I had the breakfast burrito, the cashier was very helpful and accommodating of some recent dietary restrictions I have developed, and she made me a great burrito! I swapped out the bacon for avocado (not normal for me, but like I said, dietary restrictions) and it was just as good as with bacon! My burrito has avocado, eggs, hash browns and tomatoes, and it was exactly what I needed. Good to note that the only bread option is sourdough, however, it is very tasty homemade and fresh sourdough, which is quite the treat. Unfortunately, not for me today, but I have enjoyed it in the past. I usually get to go and drive up the hill to picnic with a view, but I'm looking forward to eating in one day. That atmosphere is very cozy and calm, both the inside and the patio are nice. Speaking of atmosphere, I was happy to see many pride and pro LGBTQ flags in the restaurant, helping foster a welcoming environment for all. TLDR - 1. Good food , good coffee , very fair prices. Mostly serving sandwiches, pastries, coffee. 2. Friendly and welcoming atmosphere and staff. 3. Big wine selection. 4. Cozy interior or nice patio for Al fresco dining. read more

Food is pretty good but they never answer their phones. I tried numerous times to call to place a pickup order but they won't answer their phones. I had to go and stand in line to place the order. Because of this decided not to get anything if I didn't want to wait in line for a simple order. Also they often can't handle making a simple egg bagel sandwich and tell customers they can only do the "lighter" menu. They should train their staff better instead of turning away business or hire more help. read more

When you come to a small mountain town you can imerse yourself in the lifestyle if you choose so. We tried this local wine cellar to experience what the town could offer and truly enjoyed it. Greg here gave us a spectacular wine tasting experience and the whole way through we felt as if we were family. At the end we couldn't help but to purchase some of his awesome recommendations and we left feeling content with our wine adventure. The next morning we came back to enjoy a custom made spritzer by Greg and again were left with a great experience. I would recommend this place for any travelerss looking to enjoy the mountain scene and a cozy mountain town vibe! read more

However this special occasion they were serving ribs. Ribs, potatoe salad, corn, and Texas toast all for 15 bucks. How can you go wrong? Not to mention it was pretty darn good. They also have a pretty great selection of wine and beer. I always just stick to the lager. If you're in wrightwood, you need to check this place out and give it some business.

As a riverside native, I love the Backstreet patio and was excited to return in an evening setting. Husband and I did a short hike up Mt. rubidoux then enjoyed a romantic dinner at Devereaux House. We agreed it was one of the better date nights we have had in Riverside. We went on deftones and chess night. There was an excellent curated music playlist, chess boards everywhere, candle and string lights, and a really solid wine list. Ambiance was10/10. We tried the salad, meatballs, two pizzas, and an orange wine. Everything was 10/10. Service was insanely fast for how busy the place was (not an empty table in sight). The line to order appeared long but moved quick due to competent staff. Choosing a wine was a delight with a knowledgeable server happy to pour us tasters until we chose our bottle. If you're in Riverside, make this your next night out. It's worth getting out of the house for.

I came here with my friend on a Saturday night after a crazy month of working dawn to dusk. We were…read morereally looking forward to the food and ambiance, but were severely disappointed in our meal. The pictures posted by the business are extremely misleading. The pizza we received looked like corporate chain pizza which also lacked the homemade crust and sauce we expected. Either the recipe changed from when the pictures were posted, or it was an advertisement trap. The ambiance was great though. I loved the lights and decor. Another table also played mario kart and the switch which looked like lots of fun. Logistics-wise was a bit confusing. We parked in a lot across the restaurant. And I wasn't able to find a clear entrance and just walked through open gates and tables. I think you order at the bar and seat yourself/someone will seat you if it's busier. Then they deliver to your table. Our meal came out to $90 for 2 pizzas, 2 drinks, and a side of marinated olives. Would not come again.

We ended up staying until about 9:30 p.m. and never felt rushed or pressured to order more. The staff was very friendly and made excellent recommendations, especially considering we were a bit picky -- one vegetarian, one pescatarian, and the other only likes dessert wines!! Definitely coming back with less picky people

Waiter Manuel. This…read moreis a review reflected on you, solely. Being kind is the moral of the story, from the beginning you were passive agressive with your comments and tone. Being in a party of 4 girls coming from high tea, we were dressed in elegant dresses, first comment was asking if we were coming from church, followed by eye flutters, short "okay" with an upward inflation to a joke about the day, an impatient comment about hurrying up and trying the wine while we were talking, asked for water when we were out, were left to pour the rest of our wine, didn't ask how the food was all the while was attentive to the table behind us, the cherry on top comment was when we were discussing the bill at the end, he was hovering at the table behind ours, then when we were ready, we asked to split the bill into 2, my portion on mine and the rest on another card, he then said "this isn't like a drive through, we can't do it that way" so I asked him to explain his comment, cause it was passive agressive and rude. After he wasnt able to becuase he wasnt expecting me to call out his rude comment, I had to then break it down and specify what I had ordered, he then sold "okayyyy....so how much, cause we don't itemize?" I had to again express for him to specify how they do it cause he has still yet to explain where his attitude is coming from and explain how they do their check splits, from my understanding it just felt like he wanted to play dumb and make me to the math, one I did he was like "ohh, okay" should have asked for the manager but we paid and left, I hasnt had this experience before being a returning customer, but he needs an attitude adjustment as his attitude was completely out of pocket. Do better Manuel, you alone got your place of work a 1 star. The rest of the staff was kind, facility beautiful and food and wine was good. This restaurant is not reflected in the 1 star.

The coolest atmosphere.

I drive down the street quite frequently and see all the people there trying to get in and I wanted to be one of the people there (without lines) so I finally made it there on Valentine's Day during the day because I'm unwilling to wait in line for wine . I'm not a super wine lover but I take a sip every now and again so it was nice to get a few words of advisement before I selected a glass to try. My husband and I each tried a glass which we enjoyed. It was nice to just sit outside and take a sip of wine. Anyway, my husband said he'd definitely go back. I would too if they are hosting an event that I'd like to go to. I notice that they host quite a few events - love the idea of small businesses working together in this way.

I visited Omo Mercado for the first time on a late Friday night, expecting it to be extremely busy,…read morebut I was surprised to find seating available both inside and outside, both of which are aesthetically pleasing. My friend and I tried their orange and white wines. I can't remember their specific names, but they were both incredibly tasty. Is it pricey for a glass of wine? Depending on the occasion, I'd look for alternatives if you're looking for a more reasonably priced and efficient place. The employees were kind, and our wine choices were based on their recommendations (tailored to what we were looking for), which was greatly appreciated. Their parking lot is small, so on a busy day or night, one might have to resort to street parking. The inside is small as well, which might become overstimulating during peak times. Overall, I will likely be back.

Cute seating area

I'm gonna be backwards and start with dessert but…read morethat white chocolate earl grey crème brûlée was the most unique and BEST crème brûlée I've ever had. It was absolutely delicious and I had to make a conscious effort not to lick the bowl. Now to the food, we got the frites (10/10) and the 2 item charcuterie board (10/10), both on the happy hour. Super reasonably priced and both amazingggg. We thought about ordering another charcuterie board. We also got a bottle of the pinot Gris (skin contact) and it was delicious. I love a skin contact wine so I'm biased but everyone should try them. We also did glasses of the chenin blanc and the carmenere. The chenin blanc was probably my favorite I've had of the many I've tried and the carmenere was super unique. The service was fantastic (shoutout to Isabella) who was helpful and nice. Also super attentive even when it was busy! The outside patio is super nice looking and vibey. String lights and candles on the tables with a chef grilling right as you walk out of the door. I'm dedicated to becoming a regular now and can't wait to try the rest of the menu.

Outside was a better temp and ambiance so we elected for that . I was expecting wood fired pizza, but they didn't have it unfortunately :( Not a lot of food options here, more of a casual place for a glass of wine.. so we got wine and charcuterie and left instead of dinner as planned. The cheese board was honestly depressing, with the bread being the best thing on there. I wish there was more cheese .. It was a cute place, but I felt a bit bamboozled . We were sat next to a bush , basically directly next to another couple, which felt like we were in their conversation. My car got trapped in with the parked when we were ready to leave. Service was mid , not very personable . Not sure I'll be back for dinner , maybe if they got some better food options. But cute for a glass of wine if you are local.
