Driving through on our way to SoCal and the name of this place immediately caught our attention! Even more amazing -- we got to meet Misty herself! The place is warm and welcoming, and Misty makes the environment even more enjoyable. She makes her own pastry's and WOW! They're incredible. The sausage and egg in particular is flakey and perfect for a grab and go bite. read more

The friendly owner made us a couple good sandwiches. It's a small sandwich menu but they were just right. Plus had the Frozen Hot Chocolate which was delicious. Small and homey, small tables and easy chairs. Hippy vibe. read more

Food is pre-bought, and the service is *fine*. Last time I visited, I was inundated with the barista's experience on Facebook about how "black people are killing white kids." No matter how much I tried to change the subject, she wouldn't relent. Was very uncomfortable and haven't been back since. read more

I would NOT recommend this coffee shop. The owner was cold and acted as though we were inconveniencing her by ordering. We were overcharged. Our bill was $11.75 for 6 plain shots of espresso. Way over priced. Bathroom was nasty. Coffee with decent. Over all, I would def not recommend. Save your money and go elsewhere. Kind service and tasty coffee should not be that hard to come by. We tried to smile and bless the owner, but she just didn't care about us or our experience. So sad when people are that way. It was a good learning experience for our children to see what unkindness and a bitter heart looks like. read more

Great place to eat and enjoy the day!! Always friendly staff and mood when I've gone there

Misty is absolutely wonderful to work with! Our company is the second largest company in Yreka. I tend to use Misty's services for big orders for our conferences we have here, etc. She is amazing to work with! Everything is done on time and the food is absolutely amazing! She works with you to make sure your order is fulfilled with love and care in each order! Thank you Misty for all you do, Nor-Cal Products dba Pfeiffer Vacuum employees thank you - small businesses like you are what matters to big corporate America! read more

Great coffee! My husband and I pulled off in Yreka to find a coffee and eat our packed lunch. Misty's iced coconut latte was yummy and it was made just right. There was also a lovely outdoor table by a fountain. The perfect driving break. read more

The coffee I ordered was hot and the bagel was just fine. The employee there was friendly. They had some cute Christmas ornaments, soaps, and some little gifts. However, I'm only giving one star due to the fact the employee working was not wearing a mask. We are in the middle of a life threatening pandemic! If you care about your life, I'd pick another coffee shop! I should have left, but it was pretty empty (could use the business) and she seemed like a really nice lady. ...I'm just paranoid I'm going to die now... read more

nice small cafe, good Americano! Quite an awesome alternative to starbucks!

The Irish Cream Espresso was outstanding and the turkey / swiss sandwich was fresh and filling. Well worth the stop!

Misty's was the perfect start to our road trip back down from Oregon to San Francisco. We stopped for a quick breakfast and a coffee! I got an iced latte with hazelnut and it was delicious! The egg and cheese breakfast croissant was amazing. The employee recommended the toaster oven which would make it crispier but it was still delicious from the microwave. Great pit stop if you are passing through! read more

Owner had a terrible attitude and a smug look on her face if she didn't personally know you. The place was filthy. I saw her step on a roach behind the counter. She Tried to make it sly but I definitely saw. the whole place smelled like coffee and cigarettes as if she smoked inside. Never again will I go. :( read more

This place is great! She has a great selection of specialty coffee drinks, fresh pastries, and desserts that she makes each day herself. Great decor, comfy chairs, and very quite and relaxing if I lived in the area I would be here everyday! Such a neat little place wish her much success and hope to help others find their way there! As I mentioned I do not live in the area however do travel through on I-5 quite often and stop every time! She is right off of the freeway behind the Chevron Gas station next to a hair cutting place it is easy to get to as well as on and off the freeway. Most definitely worth the extra trip to avoid terrible gas station coffee! The owner has always been there to help us and she is such a sweetheart! Not a BAR it is a coffee shop! read more

So please stop in and grab a bite grab a caffeine fix and help support this local gem. read more

I found this Gem on my Yelp Ap. but I must add, it was hard to spot. Misty needs a more visible Sign. However once I found it there were no complaints! I loved the Owner/Baker, the Cherry Tarts, the fresh Brew Coffee, and the Breakfast Pastry. Great small Town feel. read more

Mighty fine espresso served with a good attitude. The chocolate covered banana bread was an outstanding accompaniment to the coffee beverage. Room to relax with an assortment of small tables and other comfortable seating. read more

I am all about Misty's Wet Whistle. She has the best in town when I need a couple extra shots of the good stuff. Makes Starbucks taste like a wrung out gym sock. Only drink the drive through coffee spots if your too lazy to get out of your car. read more

There's a joke that shop owner Misty likes to tell the folks who come in: People always seem to find her place while searching their devices for a Starbucks. (It's Siskiyou County; you won't find one within a hundred miles.) Despite all the amenities of Seattle's most successful java chain--bitter coffee, perpetual draftiness, warmed-over Motown piped in from corporate HQ--Starbucks is pretty bad. Misty's Wet Yer Whistle, on the other hand, is absolutely wonderful. In a region of California where the espresso market share is dominated by drive-thru kiosks, Misty's is the real deal: an adorable, personality-infused gathering place where coffee is only part of the package. The shop glows with bohemian java house warmth, a respite from the chilly mountain feel of Yreka (love it though I may). Local papers and gifts line the shelves; porthole-like mirrors dot the walls that are covered with bamboo. You can plop down on voluminous leather chairs or surf the web for free at a bistro table indoors or out. Misty herself is warm and engaging, and it seems she truly wants to know her customers, even city dwellers driving from one metropolis to the other. The double-shot latte she made for me was delicious, but the showstopper was her frozen hot chocolate that a local resident had raved about. (Misty informed me that this sweet treat is only made in a few coffeehouses around the country, and I believe her; I've never encountered it anywhere else.) Next time I visit, I'll order her desserts: decadent-looking baked goods she whips up herself. Misty's is a little hard to spot if you aren't looking for it. If you see the Nature's Kitchen sign, it is essentially across the street, adjacent to a hair salon. When my iPhone brought it up, I mistakenly thought that it had shuttered, as other coffeehouses in the area had. As a result, Misty's remains the only sit-down coffee shop in Yreka, and it is a gem. By the time I left, I'd engaged in lively conversations with Misty and the locals who stop by her place for coffee and company. Whoever you may be, whether you are just passing through or visiting the rugged and rapturous Siskiyou County (as I was), you will feel right at home. read more

Very cool little hole-in-the-wall shop. I stopped here on my colleagues recommendation while passing through town on business. I enjoyed two delightful pastries for breakfast, the scrambled eggs & cheese turnover and the apple turnover. Both were delicious and lite. I loved the lite pastry dough wrapped around the scrambled eggs in comparison to the more common and much heavier bagel or croissant type breakfast sandwiches. The apple turnover was a fantastic balance of the apples, cinnamon, and sugar wrapped in the dough as well. Latte was excellent as well. It's cool that Misty sourced the beans from two different micro roasters. Her drink had a good flavor balance which is hard to find at most coffee shops. The atmosphere of the shop is relaxing and welcoming. The owner, Misty, greets people warmly and welcomes the regulars by name. It's almost like going over to someone's house for coffee and a bite to eat. Very comfortable with a decent amount of seats and table space to gather. I've been to a few other coffee shops in Yreka and this place is my new favorite in town. Definitely going to be a regular stop when I'm in town, and worth making Yreka a road trip stopping point just to know I can start the next day with good coffee and food. The place is right off the main drag in town, but it can be a bit difficult to find because there isn't a lot of signage. Look for the bright yellow car in the parking lot, the owner drives it and had my colleague not warned me to look for the car I would have driven past the shop. The owner might consider a sandwich board style sign to put out on the road with an arrow pointing to the store. Great experience overall. read more

While waiting for an appointment, we were looking for a cup of tea, but with no Starbucks in town we decided to stop into Misty's (The name sounded cool and liked the positive reviews). When we entered Misty's and her daughters were exchanging "I Love You's" we knew we were in for a special experience. After being handed the best Chai spice I've ever had we sat down to enjoy. We were treated to 30 minutes of Mayberry with every person being greeted by name by everyone in the place as they came through the door. I would highly recommend stopping by, I know I will be again. read more

Misty's Wet Yer Whistle Espresso - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Yreka, California

See all

When I first moved to Yreka, I came to Misty's Wet Yer Whistle because it had a great name and free WiFi. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of her shop. It is comfortable and Misty herself is a pleasant person. When you order your drink and plan to stay in, she serves you in a real cup, which I think is a great touch. Misty's has delicious sandwiches and baked goods, which she makes herself in the shop. I don't actually like coffee or tea, and Misty can make any of the coffee drinks on her menu coffeeless. Her hot chocolate is awesome, but her frozen hot chocolate has to be the absolute best drink I've ever had. The only sad thing. . . is that the shop isn't open in the evenings or on Sundays. I'd come by more often if I could come in after work. Still, this is the best place in town for a good beverage and a tasty sandwich. read more

This is a great place for a coffee to go or if you just want to sit down and relax. Free Wi-Fi and homemade goodies! The "Ann Robinson" is a must try!! It is named after its local creator. It is the closest thing to heaven on earth as you can get. read more

If you don't stop here for coffee and one of the delicious baked goods made by the owner, you've missed the best thing in Yreka. Seriously. Go here. It's really good. I'm from western Washington (aka the Land of Coffee) and Misty's is just as good as any I've had in my area, and better than most. You won't be disappointed! (And it's MUCH better than the chain coffee shop on the other side of town, whose name shall not be mentioned...) As for the baked goods... She had the best coconut cream pie I've ever eaten, and the best pumpkin cheesecake, too! The latter was perfectly spiced, not too sweet, rich and creamy, with a crunchy, pie-spiced crust that was amazing. I'm basically only ever in Yreka when making the drive from WA to CA and back, but at this point anyone in my family who is traveling through Yreka makes it a point to stop here. You should too. read more

I love this little coffee shop. Misty is a great host, she always has a smile on her face. The egg and cheese croissants are incredible. Coffee drinks are all excellent. The small shop atmosphere is way more welcoming then the big chain. read more

This place has THE BEST Chai Latte in town. Whether hot, cold or blended. Great service, cute little sit down area and amazing coffee!

Dynamite. She has great pastry skills and her fillings are all made with real fresh ingredients. Real eggs, real fruit, the real deal. Misty is a one of a kind so don't miss it when driving through Yreka. read more

Mediocre coffee and chai latte and a racist server..... it was Wierd but sometimes it happens when you leave big cities. She was obviously not into me and my man being interracial and was so much nicer and attentive to all the other customers.... never going back read more

Unexpected find while stopping for fuel here! Misty offered a wide variety of milks (almond, coconut, hemp) and was willing to make any changes to any drink you wanted. The mochas hit the spot for an afternoon pick me up! They also sell a line called Baby G's which features chapstick (coconut is our fave) and hand lotions (lemongrass works like a dream) read more

Excellent decaf latte, delicious quiche, gracious service, pleasant surroundings. What more could a passer-through Yreka want first thing in the morning? read more

I LOVE Misty's shop. What a perfect place to stop, grab a hot drink, sandwich or homemade pastry. Yum yum yum! I fortunately have made Yreka a stopping place twice now while travelling from San Diego to Washington. What's even better is both times I've used the stop as a "work from home location" and the internet was great, the tea was fabulous, her sandwiches super tasty, and oh, the muffin for the road was a life saver later that night. I will always look for chances to stop here when I'm cruising through NorCal. Try it out, you'll love it! read more

The best chai and sit down coffee house in town. I love the sandwiches and cookies at Misty's. Everything here is made with love!

Best mexican mocha i've ever had. Very pleasant barista too!

What an amazing place! This was a stop in the middle of a loooong road trip. The lady working there was so friendly and served the best cup of coffee I ever had. read more

Great coffee, very nice shop. The coffee is roasted locally at a small boutique roaster, so it has a great unique character. There are lots of great baked treats to choose from too. It's a nice interior cafe setting with comfortable, clean seating and tables. It's great to see a high quality shop with a local woman invested in it with a very easy to find location. Go Misty, beat Starbucks! read more

Misty's is a great place to stop in and get a cup of coffee. Misty herself is very friendly, attentive, and always polite (you can tell she's a hard worker). I am a creature of habit and it took one time for me to come into the shop and Misty remembered my face and my order. Her baked goods are very good and overall it's just a very pleasant experience. Definitely recommend! read more
