    Tiramisu french toast
    Isabella L.

    Your bubble girl reviewer (peanut, tree nut, and seafood allergy) did not have an allergic reaction here. But always tell staff, so they are aware. Food came out very quick! My absolute favorite item I ate was the sausage. Incredibly juicy and very delicious. I wish we ordered more of it instead of the bacon, in my opinion. The fried chicken wasn't dry and was very crispy. The tiramisu french toast wasn't too sweet, but I also never add syrup. My favorite part about Idyllwild is that dogs are welcome almost everywhere, as long as they behave of course. So a stroller for the pups was great at all the restaurants, but there were a few just lying on the ground under the tables. It's nice that the tables are under some trees. I will definitely come back for breakfast again to try more!

    The food was more than adequate - it is unfortunate that when the order was placed it was requested No Green bell Peppers no onions - double checked and still the order came wrong. We picked them out as best we could yet the green bell peppers permeated the eggs bummer. My waffle was hot and the eggs warm Beautiful outdoor setting - customer service though was lacking. - order the food at the counter, they do bring the food to you yet, when they do it is not with a smile or pleasantry. Other eateries in town have the; same pricing, seat you, take your order, delivery your food, and exchange pleasantries. That is the joy of going out to eat while vacationing. If I wanted to serve myself i could stay in my rental. Overall decent food just no friendly service, with a little attitude., Writing this bums me out

    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.

    $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.

    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.

    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!

    Birria Chilaquilles - Super yummy
    Katrina J.

    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.

    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.

    -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

    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.

    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.

    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 reached out to Robb a couple days in advance to see what we needed to do, and he and his team made the entire process incredibly easy. We placed our order ahead of time, paid in advance, and when we arrived, everything was ready exactly when it was supposed to be. The smoothies and acai bowls were fresh, delicious, and exactly what we were hoping for. The perfect nourishment for our girls between games. We also really appreciated that everything was labeled clearly, which made handing everything out quick and stress-free. The girls grabbed theirs before I could get a nice picture. A huge shoutout to Robb and his team for the outstanding service and organization. They made one less thing for our coaches and parents to worry about during a busy tournament weekend. We highly recommend The Juice to any team traveling for a tournament, and we'll definitely be ordering from them again next time we are in town for a tournament!

I normally have a great experience when the male employee is working. Today, there were two young females on shift, and the difference in service was very noticeable. As I walked in, there was no sense of urgency or even a basic greeting. It looked like they were in the middle of cleaning, and one had gloves on, which is understandable, but a simple "Welcome" or "We'll be right with you" would have completely changed the experience. As someone who comes here often, I already know what I like to order. When one of the employees, who had long acrylic nails, came to take my order, she said nothing at all. No greeting, no "Are you ready," no "What can I get you." Just silence. It felt uncomfortable and unprofessional. I also noticed she had removed her gloves after cleaning and went straight to the counter without washing her hands, which is concerning, especially given the nails. After I placed my order, she immediately moved to process payment without confirming if I wanted anything else. There was no effort to engage or ensure the order was complete, which added to the overall lack of professionalism. The most concerning part of my visit happened when my drink was ready. As I went to pick it up from the bar, I saw one of the employees, the one with a piercing on her cheekbone, drinking from the blender that was used to make my drink. She stopped midway when we made eye contact. That alone was unacceptable. This experience was extremely disappointing, especially because I have had good visits here before. The Juice should take more care in hiring and training staff to ensure basic customer service and hygiene standards are met. Because I work nearby in a role that relies heavily on networking and customer experience, I will be sure to share this experience with my colleagues so they are aware if they consider visiting while similar staffing is in place.
