    I ordered a veggie sandwich and potato salad, and unfortunately, it was one of the worst meals I've had. The food did not seem fresh, and the overall quality was very disappointing. The sandwich ingredients were uncooked, which made the meal even less enjoyable. I also want to note that we were not allowed inside because we had a pet with us. Based on this experience, I would not return.

    Cheese breadsticks (they were SO good!)
    Elle M.

    My husband took me to Idyllwild for a day date and took me to a pizza place "that we used to go to after doing winter camping as a Boy Scout." It was so sweet to see him light up with nostalgia as soon as we walked in. We were greater by a cheerful lady working the register. She was patient while I deliberated on if I wanted breadsticks or not (I did) and rang up our order. The food came out quickly and it was delicious. The cheese breadsticks looked... unappetizing. But the Husband insisted I give them a try. And he was right- the tasted amazing. This is definitely a worth while stop if you want some pizza on a snowy day.

    Taqhuitz Supreme and I added fresh jalapeños that I had brought up

    Another great pizza at Idyllwild pizza company, tahquitz supreme per our usual. Every time we visit we get this pizza and it never disappoints

    Antipasto
    Tito R.

    Some good mountain pizza! Had a to-go order supreme pizza, caprese panini and antipasto salad !!!!! Phenomenal food!!! Nice restaurant and nice people!!

    Jamie W.

    Pretty good pizza, and was able to place the pickup order over the phone pretty easily. A little expensive for one pizza, but we loved the toppings and flavors.

    Greek Salad (huge!)
    Becky L.

    exhausted from the gorgeous mountain views, kind people, and adorable Mayor Max? Get yourself a pizza-pick-me-up! These delicious pies will reinvigorate you to take on the rest of the day with a full belly, open heart, and pure optimism! Fresh ingredients, rich sauce, melty cheese, thick ranch, cold frosty beer, and wonderful staff... what else do you need? I believe that there is no bad pizza, but not all pizza is created the same. This is GOOD pizza! Come get some, you won't regret it.

    Italian sub sandwich with garden salad
    Rudy M.

    This place is known for its pizza but we weren't feeling that so we got a sandwich each. I found a good one in the Italian sub and my partner enjoyed the meat and sauce. The pasta sauce was good as well. Wasn't crazy about the olives but they didn't bother us at all.

    Salad and calzone
    Jim M.

    Because I am from the east coast the calzones there are made differently and this place has a good one it just doesn't measure up in terms of the amount of ricotta cheese and mozzarella inside. The dough was raw in spots but overall well done. Took about half an hour to be served my food The salad was very good The price is a little to high for my budget If it was around $12.00 or lower I'd buy it again

    Foosball table that did not work
    Andres M.

    We were craving some pizza, so we looked up a pizza place and found this spot. There was plenty of parking available in the lot and nearby, and it was easy to find. As we walked in, we really had to consider whether we wanted to eat there or not. Although the pictures of the pizza looked really good online, the restaurant itself seemed a bit run-down. You can tell from the tables and decorations that the place could use a facelift. There's a small arcade in the corner that I'm not sure many people use, and a foosball table that doesn't seem to work. But let me tell you--don't let that discourage you from trying the food, because this is some of the best pizza I've ever had. We ordered a medium supreme pizza with some ranch for dipping. If we weren't trying other food at nearby places, we would have finished the entire thing. We loved the leftovers. It wasn't too busy when we got here--just a couple of families and a few others eating lunch. From what I can assume, the owner who took our order was very nice. I highly recommend coming here if you're in the area and want pizza. Next time I'm in town, I'll definitely be getting more pizza here. I forgot to mention we also grabbed a brownie that had and it was really delicious and moist.

    Calzone

    Have you ever tasted raw dough? Thats what my pizza tasted like. I don't think it was done yet. We took it to go and had a long drive back home. Had to put it in the oven to finish cooking when we got home. Taste was fine. Nothing out of the ordinary. Ole lil pizza shop. The workers were great tho. Very friendly. They knew we were touring and recommended food for us. Wrapped our food really well since we mentioned we had a long drive. Still warm when we got home.

    Food is amazing. Had spaghetti and meatballs. Pasta was perfectly cooked wotn homemade pasta sauce with real tomatoes. Meatballs the size of a tennis balls. Homemade and juicy. Couldn't stop dipping the homemade garlic bread in the sauce. Also had the hot wings. Great flavor and not dry like most I've had. These were brought stright from the oven and I chose blue cheese dressing to dip. The dressing was amazing and I found out that was homemade as well. It had chunks of blue cheese. Yum. I'm a local and this is my go to for homestyle pasta!

    Bicycle decorations on the wall.
    Lolita M.

    Loved the decorations of bikes on the wall. Service was fast and friendly service. The large cheese pizza was pretty big and nice and cheesy. Perfect start to day exploring Idyllwild.

    We chose Cafe Aroma for a birthday dinner and were so happy we did!…read more The bread with garlic in olive oil was a perfect light starter. My husband also enjoyed an old fashioned that was excellent. For dinner he husband ordered the ragu, and I had the penne in creamy basil (without shrimp). Both dishes came out quickly, were well prepared, and completely satisfying. Service was extremely friendly and attentive without being overbearing. We reserved the patio so we could bring our pup, and the staff immediately offered her water, pets, and even a treat. I always appreciate a restaurant that makes dogs feel welcome rather than like an inconvenience. The patio also had a lovely ambiance, with white tablecloths and the same polished table settings as indoors. My only minor note was the live music. The singer was fairly loud and close to the tables, which made conversation difficult. Instrumental music might fit the early dinner atmosphere a little better. If you prefer a quieter meal, dining indoors may be the better choice. Overall, a great birthday dinner and a wonderful experience!

    I read a bunch of the 1-star reviews. I read some of the…read more4-star reviews. I have to go with 5-star tho. OVERVIEW of 5 : Seated without reservation (*make one! We got lucky*) Server was amazing Food expediter was super nice Food was delicious Elegant, fine dining experience Music was my mountain playlist (and not too loud) View of mountains for me. View of architecture for my wife. PARKING: Parking can be difficult in the small lot, but there's parking along the street too. INSIDE: It was perfect weather. 68ºF at 6pm after a warm day. They have "indoor/patio" style seating which may be difficult for some to access by multiple steps. We were seated at the top, a table away from the music, along the window side. They have heat lamps - but temps were perfect (lots of people and hot food warmed everyone up). I wanted to walk around the restaurant. The tiered architecture is interesting. FOOD: High End Vegan! Yes - I'm guilty of wanting to give them 5 stars just looking at their vegan menu. (And omnivore selection) Yes - I appreciate the care that it takes to prepare a plate. BUT This food was just delicious by itself. Even in a cardboard box, this food would've been amazing. VEGAN "cheese" appetizer (great for 2-3 people) Nut cheese was warm and tangy. This is NOT just cashews and nooch in a blender. It is spiced with something that brings a little heat. *you will want to lick the bowl. PRO TIP: The welcome bread with ... oh shit.... WELCOME BREAD / Garlic Olive Oil This crusty bread served with microplaned garlic + olive oil is fantastic. Garlic Fiend? You're gonna love this. Not a fan of garlic? What's wrong with you?! I mean... just serve from the oil side. Save some bread for your vegan cheese.... VEGAN CHEESE (cont.) Order the gluten free bread (a little more like Uti's toasted dinner roll) with your vegan cheese app. Omnivores at your table will be surprised how well this vegan cheese and wine pair with each other. TROUT I think my wife got the trout. She loved it. Light and delicate. VEGAN KIMCHI TOFU I've had kimchi. I've had tofu. We all have. This was prepared on a bed of roasty veg that was a great match to the salty kimchi. I don't know if there was a marinade preparation (sesame paste?) with the tofu, or it was made locally, or both, but this firm tofu was excellent. Sweet. Nutty. Salty. Fresh tasting and filling. The vegan menu here isn't just an "alternate version" of an omnivore dish. It is its own thing. DESSERT MISTAKE = not getting it. We thought there would be dessert in town, but we got out late. Town had closed. MUSIC Tonight's music was a pair of musicians playing CS&N, Neil Young, Bob Seger... acoustic session: Guitar, Violin, Mandolin. Quiet & sentimental performance was a perfect accompaniment to a long hike day. THERE ARE 1-STAR REVIEWS of this place. They have their reasons. I've only been here once. But I experienced NONE of the things they've mentioned. Moreover, we experienced even better than what other 5-star reviews suggested. This is an elegant spot, framed by a perfect day in Idyllwild. If I come back to the town, I will want to try other restaurants, but I'll definitely come back here. Not *just* because of their vegan options, but definitely *for* their vegan options.

It's a GOLD mine! The service and friendliness is second to none! Delightful. I was just gonna try a couple of à la carte breakfast items to save money, BUT I was quickly "flipped" to a full meal package (much to my chagrin) and with tax and tip over $21! Well, that's a little pricey for a senior on a budget. I hate to say this, but when I'm traveling on a highway (and there's almost no alternative) Denny's does this right with their "senior menu" offerings at half this price! And that's kind of a grand slam. I make the same mistake frequently and I'm not even a big fan of eggs, but I didn't have much choice other than the veggie burger. I decided on scrambled eggs with hashbrowns and the veggie sausage from MorningStar brand (which origin is rooted in the vegetarian friendly Seventh-day Adventist Church.) My side dish was a generous portion of sliced avocado, nicely plated. To me, this spot was kind of like a "SYSCO" food depot. (If you know what I mean). The standard fair for many cafés. But, the service is very warm, old school charm where everybody chats with you to make sure you're doing OK and comes by and taps your shoulder or gives you a little back rub in passing. Not Harvey Weinstein weird but rather kind, friendly, vibes. I was transported to the set of "Andy of Mayberry" just wondering when Aunt Bea was gonna bring out the apple pie! Next time I'll try a veggie burger because it's a comfortable spot and the people are so damn friendly! Wait a second, is that Floyd the Barber, Goober the Mechanic, Otis on a bender? Oh no, I have to run! I see Barney giving me a ticket! Shazam, Shazam!

Definitely get a reservation if you are planning to go here. They have indoor and outdoor patio seating. We decided to sit inside. Being a vegetarian, I'm always on the lookout for interesting innovative food items. They had a vegan tamale and a veggie enchilada, stuffed with interesting list of vegetables. I decided to give those a shot. The tamales came out relatively quickly. The presentation was 10/10. The flavor profile was amazing. It was interesting to see the choice of vegetables.
