What a beautiful place to come and have a drink and snacks. The area is beautiful and the staff is very friendly. They have hot or iced teas also coffee and smoothies made to order. They have inside and outside seating to enjoy the beautiful area around there. The restaurant is very clean and well maintained. The prices are very reasonable read more

In a busy city, I would give this place a 3-star review, but because of the limited opportunities in this mountain town, it gets 4-stars today. Small coffee shop off the main road from Bobs Market. There is room for about 13 seating inside including two pub style tables. Everything is made fresh to order so don't expect a quick in and out especially if there are other patrons her. There was a one employee working and could have been a bit more friendly, but to each is own. There is a sign at the register that reads "please be patient, everything is made to order. We are a small business, not Starbucks." The coffee is good. The breakfast burritos are just ok . There wasn't any salsa or hot sauce for the burrito so it was a bit plain. The fact that they are open on a Tuesday morning while the competition is closed Tuesday and Wednesdays like a few other businesses to match China Peak days/hours is pretty good. Cheers! read more

I can definitely appreciate this coffee shop. As it's the main one in downtown Shaver . The food was good, service was fine just didn't seem too friendly or maybe the guy was a little anti social. Anyway, as I've mentioned the coffee was great just didn't end up taking photos of our food/drinks. We got a turkey wrap and a croissant breakfast sandwich. The breakfast sandwich seemed better than the wrap as my fam didn't really finish it. read more

Nice little coffee shop with a few good seats inside and out. The drinks were good and priced well. The service left a lot to be desired, the younger person behind the counter didn't seem like they wanted to be there, be talked to, or do anything to help out. Thankfully they made good coffee and hot cocoa. read more

Mountain Tripper is a little coffee shop that is open early and has a wide variety of options for morning coffee as well as some quick breakfast. It seems like it's a pretty popular spot and frequented by many of the locals. It is a quaint little shack tucked into a shopping center with pine trees, and a cute little raccoon carving out front. We went there early on Sunday morning and there were quite a few people coming in and out. We had a pretty large order, but it was ready almost right away. The breakfast wrap was a bit on the small side, but super tasty and enough to keep the hunger at bay. My daughters enjoyed the açai bowls and the oatmeal was also pretty great with some beautiful berries that were on top. Overall, this is a pretty good place to grab a coffee and a quick breakfast on your way out to the lake or the trails. Five stars! read more

Shaver Lake, Ca. We stoped in here around noon to get a couple of lattes as we were in need of a coffee beverage. I decided on a hot one Steph chose the iced version. This is when we were informed that the lattes are $7.50 each, much more than what you would even pay at an airport! Steph mentioned that they must be really good lattes for that price but they were nothing but average for the iced, below average for the hot one. While plenty hot, it lacked any flavor at all except weak coffee flavored milk. We were thinking of buying a lunch but I decided it probably is a further waste of money, so I don't know how anything else measures up. We did try a pastry that was ok, nothing special. I asked for directions to the bathroom and was told there isn't one. I asked if there was one close by and I was told "I don't know". read more

We stopped at Mountain Tripper Cafe after we checked out of our cabin for Memorial weekend. It was really busy and the parking lot was nearly full. Lots of people were also leaving the area after checking out so it made the food and drinks take a bit long but I understand it, really cute and cosy shop with 3-4 employees in a small space. But they did a good job of handling the crowd and we weren't in a rush cause we took in the last of the area before heading back to Fresno. The smoothies were really refreshing and made perfectly... the breakfast croissants were also really good. I believe the wrap was good but I didn't ask my brother-in-law. Some seating inside and lots of seating outside as well. read more

Food and smoothies were delicious. Service and ambiance were a bit dull, but I would go back.

Great place to get coffee in the morning . All of the drinks tasted pretty good . Went here a few times since this looked like the only cafe in Shaver lake. They have sandwiches and breakfast croissants . I really loved my breakfast croissant . It was cooked perfectly and it was delicious . The sandwich was ok . They didn't put much turkey in the sandwich. Would probably skip this the next time. I would say the pricing is a little high . I purchased 2 coffees and 2 sandwich's and it was almost $40 . Inflation is crazy nowadays. I'd come back again for the drinks and the breakfast croissant . read more

The Mountain Tripper is my go to for morning coffee and bagels. Awesome little shop, tucked right off of the main drag. Always greeted with a smile. My Carmel Macchiato was perfect, substantial coffee taste, unlike most. Great Carmel flavor, as well. The everything bagel was lightly toasted, with cheese, warm egg, salt and pepper to finish. Awesome warm, to go, breakfast. Easy, delicious, convenient. A must, when at Shaver Lake. read more

Service was a little slow, (but we had a whole large group so completely understand). Breakfast burrito was a little soggy, and the eggs felt a little flavorless. Great ambience tho, tucked in the mountains. read more

Came to this spot twice while visiting the area because the breakfast sandwich was so yummy! I got the croissant with ham and was less to surprised when the eggs came out seasoned to perfection. My toddler loved it too. Great coffee as well, not generic or bland. This was full flavor! Ask for half and half behind the counter and you shall receive. Friendly staff but I can see how during busy seasons it could take a few minutes to get your order, so bring your patience and remember you're on mountain time out here! Overall, cute spot and would recommend to anyone visiting the area. read more

I like this place, very nice staff, and a comfortable atmosphere. It is a quite popular spot. Good interior, with a lot of small interesting details. The menu is small but it is enough. The food is good, coffee and tea well made. We took breakfast bagel, croissant and asai bowl. Staff is friendly, attentive read more

My boyfriend and I have been coming here for years now, even before when it was called "Bob's Blue Sky Cafe." Maybe it should've stayed that way. After having a sudden change in lunch plans, we decided to come here because we didn't have a lunch prepared. After spending $10.95 on each sandwich and leaving a tip it was a total of about $24. For ONE piece of turkey? On top of it, we felt almost like a bother coming inside. Considering it felt like we were one of the first customers in a while today, it was just us... very empty, we don't understand why the attitude was poor. We were pretty disappointed, and I understand cutting on costs, proportions, and what not.... But this sandwich was a sorry sandwich. One piece of turkey for $9.95. read more

Came to this little coffee shop Oct 5th. There was an older man working with a young kid. Horrible customer service. Ordered bagel with bacon. The bacon was not fully cooked. They gave us wrong coffee order. Definitely wasn't a friendly environment. I would try somewhere with better customer service experience. read more

Writing this review on behalf of my grandpa Fred who recently visited multiple times during his stay in Shaver Lake and doesn't know how to use the internet. He spoke so kindly about Eli and the other staff. Stating the hospitality was above and beyond, the coffee was great and loved the ambiance. The breakfast was excellent served with hearty portions as well. Couldn't recommend this establishment enough. read more

Food was fabulous. I give it a five star the service was great very attentive to my needs!

This is my favorite spot in Shaver to visit. After a long hike the best thing to do is visit Mountain Trippers with my folks! The peanut butter smoothie and their iced teas hit the spot perfectly. Their coffee is great too. They have a super cute and cozy deck with plenty of shade to relax and sip away. The inside is comfortable too if you prefer to sit there. Plenty of parking and easy to find. You won't regret visiting the best kept secret of Shaver Lake! Their service is excellent too. They are fast with their drinks and are always very kind and accommodating. read more

Decent small coffee house. Service is fairly slow but the women working here were friendly and laid back. Breakfast wraps could have really use some salsa but fueled us for the long ride to our lunch stop. Nothing spectacular but better than cooking breakfast when you have a 5 hour drive ahead of you. read more

15 minutes turned into 30 minutes for coffee. The pump coffee was terrible. It's not that hard to make a good pot of coffee. I really want to support this local coffee shop. It used to be so good and so fun to go into. We need a local coffee shop shop. read more

What a gem in Shaver Lake. They just bought the place in December 2021. They are kind of hidden back behind Bob's Market but have easy parking because of that. We had a club sandwich on sourdough instead of a wrap and it was great. They use ranch dressing instead of mayo which was good and a little different. Love the option of the Maui potato chips! Ice tea was surprisingly good and the service was great. Will have to try their espresso next time. read more

Friendly, high-quality food and great cold brew. They even had oat milk! Bagel breakfast sandwich and an açaí bowl made for a great start to our day. For everyone complaining about how "slow" they are... guess what? This isn't a fast-food-chain coffee place. They actually cook your food to order. Calm down, breathe in some mountain air or go hug a tree. read more

I'm not from the area, but I feel confident in saying this is probably the best coffee spot in the Shaver area. It's a pretty small area with very limited choices so this place was a gem. I got an iced vanilla latte. It's simple, but I thought the place was cute and the service was quick. Good amount of outdoor seating and I really enjoyed my coffee. They also have small breakfast items if you're looking for a quick breakfast. read more

Loved eating here! Got the avocado toast which is sourdough, hummus, and avocado. I'm craving it again this morning! It's a really cute shop inside and out. Very friendly staff that made sure to fill us in on the drink and food of the day which was a fun charcuterie box and fresh lemonade. I'll be back for sure. read more

Food and coffee are good, people are nice, but they are so slow. You'll need an hour to "stop in" for a breakfast sandwich

One of my favorite things to do when visiting a new place is walking to a local coffee shop and this is exactly the kind of place I love to find! Cute decor and cozy ambiance, plus really good coffee. I got a caramel macchiato with oat milk and my husband got a French roast pour over. The food sounded good too but we were only there for coffee. It wasn't busy when we went (9am on a Monday holiday) which is good because it was small. The gals working we're very nice and quick with our drinks. I'd recommend it to anyone visiting Shaver! read more

Only giving 3 because the coffee tastes very good. But waited 30 minutes for a single iced coffee, kinda irritating when 3 people were working. While waiting sitting in the indoor seating, you could hear the girls talking about a customer and what they ordered, not anything kind. After they turned the music up really loud so nobody could hear them anymore. Product: 5 stars. Service: 0-1 stars. Update: finally got my drink, it wasn't what I ordered. Wasn't going to waste any more of my time waiting so I just went with it. read more

Gone significantly downhill. Oatmeal seemed as it if it was a Quaker oatmeal packet and muffin had no taste and have had better from Save Mart. Coffee was good but no carafes of milk or creamer just cheap pods of International Delight. Fallen far from previous ownership and a disappointment from what was a special place to go. read more

We are in town for the night taking the family to China peak and had a great experience here. The woman that helped us was so incredibly patient with our children and so sweet!

Even if you just need a quick cup of coffee on your way up the mountain I highly recommend this place! read more
