The best Matcha Boba Tea you've ever tasted! Cappuccinos and lattes are yum, but a bit on the milky side so keep that in mind pending your taste preferences. Creative and modern approach to coffee and tea.

Super casual, less expensive than Ferro pizza but still really great. We recommend their Veggie Gourmet pizza if you're a green olive & artichoke fan. They also have excellent sandwiches and paninis. We are big fans of the Italian Sub. Plenty of indoor seating + dog friendly outdoor seating in front and back.

Truly authentic and mouth-watering Mexican cuisine. Their al-pastor tacos and burritos are amongst our faves, along with their Enchiladas Suizas. PLEASE NOTE: this place turns into more of a bar scene at 9pm. If you happen to wander in for dinner around 8:45pm, be ready to be dodging pool sticks coming at your head at 9pm sharp. Our suggestion: stop in BEFORE 7:15PM for a great dining experience, or order food to-go. Looking for a real "locals" bar experience? Head there pretty much any night of the week after 10pm.

This is a family friendly place, and a different approach to Mexican cuisine. In the battle of "Best of Mexican Food in Idyllwild" you're either Team Manzanita or Team La Casita. Try them both and decide for yourself! Definitely do not miss trying Roberto's Famous GREEN SAUCE--a delectable jalapeño and olive oil blend. Adds miles of flavor to any dish and available to take home in a bottle. We suggest you do!

Has always been an Idyllwild staple; however, in our humble opinion the menu can be hit or miss. That being said, we always LOVE the French Dip (meat melts in your mouth and the dip is on point), plus their classic cocktail game is strong. Dog friendly outside.

Prepare to be HOOKED on chocolate for the duration of your trip. Most people that come here, end up coming back EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. Incredible selection of locally handmade chocolates plus the BEST House Mocha in Idyllwild (or maybe, ANYWHERE). If you're a shake fan, don't miss out on their wildly addictive Chocolate Milkshake. So, so, SO good.

A unique experience. Our local Idyllwild movie theater has an outdoor area in the back they have turned into a beer garden. They often book unique entertainment acts and food vendors. Grab a beer and watch the latest Hollywood flick or cult-classic during scheduled viewings. A great spot for sipping mimosas & people watching as well.
