    $80 for 4 waffles and 2 coffees. Soooo expensive, wow. The coffee was also so bad. please do yourself a favor and buy coffee at a real coffee shop in town. The food was good though. Most of the food in this town has no flavor but this place actually was good besides the coffee and prices.

    Nice interior and exterior seating. Came today for breakfast with a big group. They had a lot of food options.They cleaned tables quickly as guests left so not a lot of waiting. The inside was pretty cozy. To order, you go to the register. It was really easy to order. Got the 3 combo with eggs,bacon, hasbrowns and sourdough toast. The bacon was good and crispy and hash browns were good too. We also got that California breakfast burrito and that was DELICIOUS. I highly recommend the burrito and chilaquiles because they also looked sooooooo good. I asked somebody who had it and they said they were absolutely delicious.

    I had the chile relleno omelette with home fries and it was amazing and a very large portion. The ranchero sauce was so good. My husband had the meat lovers breakfast which he shared with our dog. We sat outside and they put heaters on for us. It's a nice patio area. Service was fast too!

    I loved the brunch! Servings are pretty big. Food and beverages are fresh. Wait time is just okay but if you are hungry, you may need to be extra patient. Bathroom wait line can be long as there is only one. Ambiance is perfect for a cozy, quaint, small town. Staff were all welcoming and friendly. I had a great time when we were here!

    We visited Idyllwild for the first time Valentine's Day weekend and found ourselves at Mama's Egg House on Sunday morning. This is a very dog friendly city, and was happy to see other dogs on their patio. We were told by a worker there that we just pick a spot wherever we'd like to sit, and then order our food at the counter. They deliver it to your table once ready! Inside area is on the small side, not really any room for very big parties, I'd say 4 or less. Outside has much more room to work with. It was such a cute little restaurant... a mixture of new trendy meets traditional mom n' pop. This was around 9:30am and there were a pretty good amount of people there. Nearly the full inside was seated and outside maybe had 1/4 of their tables taken. We got lucky with a corner streetside table so our golden retriever could mingle with passerbyers. When I got to the cashier, I was greeted with a warm smile. I then ordered the birria chilaquilles and pancakes with sausage. We also got the horchata white Russian and michelada. It took maybe 5min for our drinks to come out, and 15min for food to come out. The Horchata white Russian was AMAZING. I dont know how to explain it other than a warm cozy feeling within an iced drink? Haha. Michelada was good. Our meals were both beautifully presented and tasted fresh. The birria was tender and the sausages were definitely homemade- they were outstanding. Definitely recommend trying this spot for breakfast on your trip! We are so happy we did.

    Stopped into Mama's Egg House while up in Idyllwild and absolutely loved it. The food was fresh, flavorful, and felt homemade in the best way. The portions were generous, everything came out hot, and you can tell they really take pride in their breakfast dishes. The service was warm and attentive, and the whole spot has that cozy, mountain-town vibe that makes you want to linger a little longer. It's the kind of place you can come for a relaxed morning, good coffee, and food that hits the spot. Would definitely come back next time I'm in Idyllwild.

    Stopped for breakfast before on our way home. You look over a menu and order at the counter. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Our drink orders came out quick and soon after came our food. They are big portions so come hungry. A little on the pricey side for breakfast but worth the taste. Cute and cozy spot to feed your hunger. We left all very happy with full bellies.

    -Food was good -The outdoor ambiance was very nice. -Menu & QR code posted on the glass -Order inside & they will bring you your food (listen for your name) -They serve alcohol!! pricey, but nice while you wait and enjoy the outdoors -Line was long due to everyone and their moms were there for the snow (arrived at 11am on Sunday got our food at 12:28) I'm sure it's usually not this long of a wait. -Indoor & outdoor seating (heaters & umbrellas) -First come, first serve on the seating. while waiting, highly suggest looking out for a table to grab. -Pet friendly (outdoors) -Parking lot was small (we parked across the street) wasn't an issue at all just FYI -A little pricy for us 3 (2 adults 1 child) 2 beers, 1 bloody Mary, 1 OJ (freshly squeezed) 1 hot chocolate $120

    Such a cute little eatery in Idyllwild! I had breakfast out on the little deck and it was a beautiful day with lots of umbrellas for shade. It seems to be a fast casual concept where you order at the counter. They do bring the food out to you. The menus could've used a cleaning, they look like they had seen better days, and they were definitely smudges of food on them. I got the huevos rancheros and it was delicious! Tons of flavor and just the right amount of spice in the sauce. I asked for the breakfast potatoes extra crispy and they didn't seem extra crispy, but they did taste really good. I also loved the big chunks of veggies and there was a nice serving of avocado as well. My food came out really fast and was piping hot. My fiancé got the three egg breakfast. Simple and tasty! The eggs and bacon were cooked to perfection. Coffee was above average for a breakfast spot, but not as good as a coffee shop. Also, no Wi-Fi available and in a town that has poor Internet service that is a bummer.

    Delicious Mountain food! Cute place. Staff is amazing! Food came out so fast. It's a bit pricey but you will definitely get your money's worth.

    Excellent breakfast spot! I ordered the 3-egg plate with bacon, toast, and fresh fruit, and it was perfect (believe it or not, I've seen other places mess this up). My fiancée had the huevos rancheros, and I stole a few bites--the sauce tasted homemade, with just the right amount of spice. The balance of flavor was ideal. Service was great--friendly staff and quick food delivery. The outdoor patio is serene and spacious, with lots of natural light and a relaxed vibe that makes it easy to enjoy your coffee and meal. We went around 9:45am on a Monday, and it wasn't crowded at all. The only downsides: the menus could definitely use a wipe-down, and there's no Wi-Fi, which is a little surprising for a mountain town that gets so much tourism. Overall, a great place to start the morning--I'd come back.

    Chile Verde Burrito
    Sheila C.

    I came in with higher expectations and left feeling a little let down. The food itself was very good, but the overall vibe leaned much more toward a fast-food joint than the sit-down restaurant I thought it would be. Maybe that's the concept, but nothing I read or heard beforehand gave that impression. Our food came out incredibly fast--so fast that we barely had a chance to take a sip of our coffee. In hindsight, I wish I had ordered the coffees first to actually enjoy them alongside the meal. We just expected something paced more like a restaurant experience rather than quick-service dining. That said, the chili verde burrito was flavorful, though not piping hot, and their signature hot sauce was fantastic--definitely a highlight. The staff was friendly and attentive, which I appreciated. The atmosphere was a bit mixed: one side of the restaurant felt like a fast-food setup, while the other side had a much cozier, restaurant-like feel. Overall, the food was enjoyable, but the experience didn't quite match what we anticipated.

    Eggs Florentine Benedict
    Jim M.

    Our first time eating at this establishment. Tina had a big veggie omelette I had eggs Florentine Benedict Service was pleasant food was good except the potatoes were not hot. They fixed it right away The eggs were overcooked as the yolks were hard not like a poached egg would be Other than that it was worth the $47 we spent Tina had coffee too

    Yes, outdoor seating!

    Most of the reviews show plastic / styrofoam (haven't seen in CA since the 90s...). If you eat there do they serve on plates? I thought Idyllwild would be eco friendly but there's so much plastic packaging at the restaurants!

    Hi, it's worth going to eat there while enjoying the sunshine on the patio. No plates yet. Plastic and paper.

    We came here for Mother's Day brunch and had such a wonderful experience. The restaurant was busy,…read morebut the staff stayed attentive, friendly, and made my mom feel genuinely celebrated. The atmosphere was warm and festive, with great music and beautiful presentation on every dish. The food was excellent -- the carne asada tacos were flavorful and perfectly cooked, the enchiladas were rich and comforting, and the fresh guacamole was some of the best we've had. The margaritas were also amazing and paired perfectly with the meal. What really stood out was the service. Our server checked in often, made great recommendations, and even helped make the day feel extra special for my mom. You can tell this place cares about both the food and the people who come in. Highly recommend for family dinners, celebrations, or anyone craving authentic Mexican cuisine. We'll definitely be back!

I'll definitely be coming back!
