Sticks Coffee, Mariposa: 2026 May 19 (5 of 5)…read more Tucked behind tall shrubs along a short alleyway is a secret door to a little coffee shop. My observations alerted me to a communal yet cozy setting, with shared table and comfortable benches. This establishment feels magical to me. The floor is clean and the wooden tables and benches are inviting. I noticed that they have regular customers, as one after another, the customers were greeted by name with hugs and big smiles. Savanna (sic) greeted me and took my orders: small latte & ricotta + egg toast. My Ricotta + egg toast was delicious and the presentation was nicely done. The ingredients looked simple and the herbs tasted fresh and clean. The dish was perfectly seasoned. I tasted a little 'heat' at the back of my throat, but that's something I can handle. I even enjoyed the green sauce over the top. LOL! My order of latte was smooth and creamy. No sugar needed here. The creamy milk did its job. Savanna made my coffee after taking the order, and I complimented her on the delicious coffee. Would I go back? You betcha! And I'll bring my friends. Note: There's seating outdoors as well for those who bring their four-legged family members

Stopped by here as a recommendation from our Airbnb in the area. I got their seasonal drink which…read morewas a Sesame Latte. I don't think I could taste the sesame that much, but it was still good. For lunch, we ordered the Lox Toast and Za'atar Chicken Sandwich. I got a lightly dressed side salad added for $3. The Lox Toast was yummy. I was just a bit disappointed at the side salad. I don't think it was worth the $3 for a tiny box. The chicken sandwich was good and included chips. Not a bad place to stop by on the way to Yosemite.

Their offerings are so affordable & they have so many options! Longest menu seen at a coffee shop. Basically, you can combine as many syrups as they have available.

The Coffee Shop is one of a few stand-alone coffee shops in the charming town of Mariposa. An…read moreafternoon caffeine pick-me-up was needed, so we stopped an hour before closing (6 PM). LOCATION It's hard to miss the avocado paint color from the road. But to assist in locating The Coffee Shop, it's next to the Mariposa Visitor's Center. There's a cute Free Library wedged in between both businesses. SERVICE The employee working was very welcoming and friendly. She informed us that cold brew was out for the day. I mean, how did she know? We ended up ordering iced lattes instead. INTERIOR Small and cozy coffee shop. The owner recently put up a world map for you to add a pin of where you're from. Fun and neat idea for a coffee shop, considering the town receives lots of tourism for Yosemite. ORDER * Iced White Chocolate Latte -- I ordered the latte with oat milk. It was okay. It has a good espresso flavor. I appreciated that the drink wasn't made overly sweet. The white chocolate is subtle. There are a ton of flavors for lattes, but all are syrup-based. * Iced Oat Latte -- My SO ordered this, and it did its job. Overall, The Coffee Shop has a wide selection of drinks, and its mission is to caffeinate you. Give this locally-owned shop a visit.

I came here with two friends after leaving Yosemite. Perhaps we came on an off day, but the staff…read morewe interacted were rude and made use feel very unwelcome. We came here because they have vegetarian options and looked like a fairly quick option. This was one of the worst dining experiences I've had in a while. We bought three sandwiches, two drinks, and a dessert from the cafe and the staff were rude and didn't let us eat at the tables in the cafe. Even though we had bought multiple items and just wanted to eat our sandwiches quickly before getting the staff member at the cafe was so rude we ended up taking our food outside and eating in our car in 103 degree heat. I got the roasted sandwich without cheese and with bacon. The sandwich itself was tasty and the chicken was moist. However, the cost was nearly $8 for half a sandwich, which was very small. Ambiance: the cafe area looked clean and was completely empty. It would have been fine and serviceable. Customer Service: 1 star. We arrived shortly before 3 p.m. and staff rushed us. I asked for three minute to read the menu and the cashier at the cafe said they were closing in two minutes. It was the most unwelcome I've felt at a restaurant in a very long time. There was no one else there, we had already bought multiple things from the cafe and spent over $50 all together and had to eat our sandwiches in the parking lot in 103 F heat. I've been to other establishments and unknowingly shown up near closing time, but usually that can be communicated politely. I regret spending any money here and supporting this business. Taste: 3 stars for the taste, texture and flavor of the chicken sandwich. 2 stars for the farmers market wrap. 3.5 stars for the carrot zucchini cake. Value: 2 stars. Half sandwich was overpriced and very small for the price.

They're a small space, so it can get busy on weekends. We were initially seated at the bar but once a booth opened up our server happily moved us there. I got a peppermint white mocha and the chicken and waffles. The Southern part of me yearned for the classic dish, and they did it very well. The peppermint flavor wasn't my favorite. It's a little on the pricy side, but being a gateway town of Yosemite does have some factor.

Wasn't very busy at the time. I got the 1/2 order of biscuits and gravy. The squeeze had the breakfast burrito but she did her own review. It took over 20 minutes to get the food, which seemed excessive for what was ordered. The sausage gravy was phenomenal. Having said that, the biscuit was disappointing, it seemed pretty dense. I did taste the burrito and it was good. Service was so-so. That's all I have to say about that.

I was truly impressed with the stock of this grocery store and when we had an unexpected first aid need, the pharmacy area had everything we needed as well.

It's a Starbucks, but the staff are locals, and the coffee shop has a local feel. We like the Starbucks menu, and it's reproduced here faithfully. Seating can be a little scarce, but we're usually on the way somewhere else anyway, so to go works! We still patronize the local spots, too, but Starbucks's in Mariposa is worth a visit.

I've been to this Starbucks twice now, and both were positive experiences…read more The first time, I came to use the internet (which is scarce in Yosemite). I ordered a Chocolate Covered Strawberries Frappuccino, and sat down. I loved the fact that they had electric outlets near the indoor seating, but, when I discovered that I had forgotten my headphones, I decided to go outside. (It was too noisy for me inside.) Luckily, it was a nice day, and I was the only one outside. I stuck around until my laptop battery died. If there were somehow outdoor outlets, I might have stayed even longer. The next time I came through, I had been planning to do the same thing, but they looked super busy. Even the outside seating was crowded. I went through the drive through (where there was no line), and tried to order the same Frappuccino. It was no longer on the menu, but the batista said she could make it for me, anyway. It wasn't quite the same, but it was pretty close, and still pretty good. Both times, my drinks were highly Instagrammable. The baristas at this location are good at making pretty drinks... and making the drinks with so much attention to detail seems to make them taste better, too. I'm not sure where all the negative reviews come from, but I've met a few people from this town who have expressed sentiments that they resent having a big chain coffee place like Starbucks in town. I think some of the reviewers are actually just upset that this isn't a mom and pop store. I was impressed with the ambiance, the customer service, and my drinks. Would definitely come back again.
