I visited Zephyr Books & Coffee in Yreka on 4/23/25. In addition to serving Northbound Coffee Roasters from Mount Shasta, they have a menu of deli foods and baked goods, all are which are made in house. They also have a good selection of used books, as well as brand new books that are region specific. Barista Zach was very friendly and helpful. He made me an excellent Mocha. If I lived in or near Yreka, Zephyr is the kind of place I would become a regular at. Highly Recommended!!! read more

Zephyr is on Miner Street, the heart of downtown Yreka with buildings dating from the 1880s to a few maybe from (maybe) the 1950s. The bookstore/Coffee shop is in one of the former buildings. The food is prepared elsewhere, so some items on the menu may be gone by the time you get there after 12, as I did. Wanting a light lunch, I chose the chicken salad with sesame crackers and an Americano with milk. Both were good; the salad mostly pieces of chicken with a good dressing and the coffee not too strong. There are two tables out side and a few more inside surrounded by used books and some board games. read more

Fun and funky location. Serves delicious locally roasted coffee. Not a huge book selection but the welcoming atmosphere was nice

I love this coffee shop and reading space. They have delicious coffee and food and the library has an excellent selection to browse and enjoy. There's great locally made products to shop for as well and they host fabulous events. Do not go to Starbucks, support this fantastic local business! read more

Amazing ambiance. Wonderful staff. Great spot to study, connect with a friend, or work. Delish foods and awesome coffee

I cannot say enough positive things about this cafe. Delicious fresh pastries (including gluten-free options): check. Non-pastry items like sandwiches and eggs and salads: check. A consistently kind, engaging and genuinely pleasant group of staff members: check, check, check. This is a used book store crammed with hidden gems, and also a lovely cafe and they also have tons of board games for customers to play while they enjoy a drink or while friends peruse the shelves. My whole family adores this cafe - to study, to have a treat, to play games with friends, or just to curl up with a new book, we are so grateful that Zephyr exists! I wish I could go there every day. read more

Zephyr Books and Coffee is one of our favorite little spots in town. My son and I love stopping in for a morning hot chocolate before school or swinging by in the afternoon for a cold lemonade and a game of Connect Four. The staff is always kind and welcoming, and there's a calming, cozy atmosphere that makes it easy to relax and feel at home. Their shelves are full of interesting books, and I love that it's a place where kids are encouraged to explore, play, and read. It's not just a coffee shop--it's a community space where memories are made. Whether you're looking for a quiet corner to read, a place to catch up with a friend, or just a sweet moment with your child, Zephyr is a gem. read more

I stop be regularly when I am downtown. read more

This is the perfect place for folks to stop and rest on a road trip. The coffee and pastries are delicious, the atmosphere is relaxing, and the staff is very friendly.

Thank you Zephyr Books for making us feel so welcome!

Local goodness found! Driving through on California to Washington and wanted to find a nice local place to hang out for a break. Found this place when looking for tea spot to take a break from the road. What a great find to have coffee/tea AND books! Heaven. The people working there were so nice. They don't officially have iced green tea, but had not issue at all getting me a hot green tea with a cup of ice. Have come across this a few times at tea shops and not all are as accommodating. Thumbs up! My sister and I also got Chocolate Chip cookies. Very nice size and fresh. We hung out for an our after browsing through the books and took home five good selections. $5/book for a good used book. What a deal. Very sad I don't live in the area and can make this my regular haunt. But I have already put it on my list of spots for when I'm in the area. read more

This place has excellent lattes and baked goods! Lots of great gluten free options - I especially love their morning glory muffins! Meanwhile my hubby is a big fan of their London fogs and nut free chocolate chip cookies! The atmosphere is awesome, and it's always fun to look around and see what books are there. The owner and baristas are wonderful and welcoming. Highly recommend a visit if you are in the area. read more

Cute eclectic vibes in a small town setting-Sat in a chair vs comfy couch due to homeless which set up camp there for fear of bugs/dirt

Cutest little place! Nice baked goods and great inside. Had an ice chai and lemon bar. Both good! Saw some adorable people playing music outside. read more

Owners are very friendly and they have great prices on the books and drinks. I highly recommend this place of business.

Sitting right downtown Yreka, which is in itself an historical district, is this delightful book and coffee shop. Check their hours as they sometimes don't open on Mondays. You can park on the street, or better yet, if you stay at a local motel, you can walk to the coffee shop. Pastries are homebaked, but again, check as they might not bake the day you are in the store. This is definitely a small town business. read more

Zephyr Books & Coffee - Lots of books to go with a cup of good coffee. - Desserts Near Me - Yreka, California

Found this quaint bookstore that also has a coffee bar (with pastries). The barista is extremely polite and attentive. There are sooooo many books in this place, it's going to take a while to check everything out. There is a large drink menu selection here, they also sell some old vinyl and homemade preserves, as well as ground coffee. It's located in a historic looking downtown area in Yreka, CA. If I'm up this way again, I'll definitely stop by Zephyr Books & Coffee. read more

Great coffee ~ excellent service ~ the breakfast burrito is packed with goodness. Well worth it to stop in here.

Returning from Oregon, we were spending the night in Yreka and looking for a "pick me up" coffee in the afternoon and ended up at Zephyr just before they were closing. The Americano and Lavender Latte were both excellent. Best coffee I have had in a long time, and rivaling the best coffee I have ever had (my wife managed an independent coffee shop when we were first dating and this is on par for sure) In fact, it was so good, that we decided we had to stop there on the way out of town on Saturday morning. The coffee was again fantastic... and later in the day, when I realized I had left my debit card there and was now hundreds of miles away, I called them and they immediately mailed my card back to me. Debbie, Guy, Zapata, and Zephyr have quite a place there, and needless to say, whenever we go to Yreka, we know where to go for coffee...... read more

Called ahead to be sure they require masks before we drove 40 minutes to browse books. We were told "we don't. We leave it up to everyone's choice". Please understand that it cannot be everyone's choice to spread a deadly virus. We may be asymptomatic. It is illegal to operate indoor business mask-less. I wear my mask to protect you and you try to protect me. Otherwise we'll all continue to drag this thing out and blindly take lives. read more

Zephyr's is a great local retreat that our whole community loves. It has delicious cookies and the coffee is spot on. This year I gave out Zephyr gift certificates to my colleagues. They were easy to get, professional looking and everyone loved them. read more

This place is such a neat little nook! They have an amazing book selection, well priced, cozy atmosphere, great coffee drinks and munchies available, sometimes live musicians adding to the ambiance, and some local items for sale. A Miner Street gem. Always reminds me of a small piece of San Francisco when I hang out here. Love it! read more

Such a cute shop in Yreka! We stopped in for a coffee and were surprised with all of the options - their menu is guaranteed to have something you like!
