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!

Great options for many things including jerky, jams, preserves, hot sauces, candy etc. I love local spots like this, that serve up local treats. Will definitely come back again next trip. Was recommended the Ghost pepper, but it has minimal heat. Will try the Carolina Reaper next!

So chuffed to have seen Curio Spice, my favorite spice company, on their shelves as I don't know of many shops that carry them in-store. Bummed that we aren't locals, but will be sure to make a stop any time we are in town to see what they have in stock.

And might even have made a blend for it from scratch in her apothecary. I met Mave when I was needing to clear out spirits haunting my Airbnb. I popped into the shop three days in a row receiving counsel until the rituals were effective. Mave was so generous - allowing me to get small portions of herbs to save money, and gifting me Florida Water to assist with the clearing. Subsequently, I discovered that Mave is an incredibly gifted intuitive reader. Mave blended oracle, tarot, astrology and intuitive channelling to help give me a general sense of my phase of life, as well as helped me to take a look at three specific areas. I left feeling ready to face these aspects of my life with total confidence, peace and gratitude. When I leave Idyllwild I'll miss seeing Mave every day on my way into town. Give her a visit - you won't regret it!

It's beautiful here! Camp sites are very clean and it's close to the town. The dislikes directed at the town, they are trying to charge five star service for two star customer service. If they need our money that bad then they should treat us with better food, drinks and CUSTOMER service. Don't just go to Costco stock up and charge three times the norm everywhere else! Here is an example, one reg cup of coffee and four hot chocolate's = $22.00! Really? I paid it but I didn't give them my business any more. They can laugh once but I'm laughing now. I guess I'm wishing everyone would respect the traveller that spends the time here.

The location is a little off the beaten path, not on the main street, but there are signs pointing to where it is. If you like famer's markets or if you just need something to do, it is definitely worth a visit and will not take more than 15-20 minutes. Another way to support local businesses.

I think it's the best one for its combination of flavors; chili, jalapeno and onions...mmmm, fantastic! But to be honest even an "Average Dick" tastes delicious. Dick's Dogs has a fun little stand with a casual vibe and nice little seating area and benches where you can fill up with a tasty Big Dick. If you ever have a craving for a Big Dick, cruise into idywild and stop at Dick's Dogs.

It was a nice stop after a morning of hiking in the area. Overall the food itself was a little too expensive for what it was.. my mom and her friend had the soup of the day which was basically just chili and cheese (nothing really special) while my husband had a simple BLT (also nothing really special) and I had the blueberry pie (which was cute but really just a pie). We spent over 50 dollars on those items which is honestly WAY overpiced in my opinion but then again we still enjoyed our time. Cute place in general :)
