I ordered their Spanish latte and it was super creamy and yummy! I'm a sucker for banana chocolate chip breads and they had that, so I had to try it too; it was not too sweet and sooo good!

I decided to order an iced honey lavender latte with oat milk with a carrot cake cookie and a warmed chocolate croissant. Wow the lavender was seriously delicious and the best lavender latte I have had!! The carrot cookie was a bit hard but very tasty and the chocolate croissant was great with oozing warmed chocolate. I loved it so much I returned the next day.

What a welcome addition to Idyllwild! I came here just before closing at 6pm for a caffeine fix…read morebefore hitting the road. I got their Silk Road chai with sweet cream.

It's honestly one of the best around. Juicy, flavorful, and done right with no shortcuts. What makes this place even more special is Amelia herself. Her story, her hustle, and the passion she puts into everything you see and taste is inspiring. You can feel that this isn't just a business, it's something she truly built and believes in. Places like this are what make the food scene so great. If you haven't been yet, you're missing out.

WARNING: Will ruin all other apple fritters for you and you'll be coming back for more!…read more I average about 3 or 4 apple fritters a month (with my doctor's approval, of course!), so I consider myself something of an expert. But I have a major problem now: Amelia's has officially ruined all other donuts for me. While I know many locals come here for the cinnamon rolls or burritos, the Apple Fritter is the real hidden gem. The husband (Jim) has a well-guarded secret recipe, and it shows. Unlike the mass-produced stuff I get back home, Jim and Amelia (the nicest couple you'll want to meet to start your day) use real apples and they are incredibly fresh. The fritter is soft, the topping delightfully sweet (I'm sure my doctor would approve) but not overpowering, and baked with a perfectly tender interior. It left me with the feeling I had the sweet taste of kindness to start my day. Why go to Starbucks to order a Grande from a snarky barista, when you can get coffee here that complements the fritter, warms the morning, and leaves you with a residual happiness-buzz for a great day of adventure? It's the best way to begin the day after enjoying the early morning stars and nature's goodness. I'll never have another apple fritter back home again. If you are in Idyllwild, do not skip this experience and brighten your morning (I'm sure your doctor will approve). :)

For sweets, we did the Lily Rock and Hippo crepe. Both were great, but we were a huge fan of the bubble waffle. For savory, we went with their most popular pick, the Chicken Pesto and the Turkey Bubble Waffle. The pesto sauce was creamy and delicious - we were a fan! For some reason, we were definitely not expecting the bubble waffle to be a sandwich. Nonetheless, both were great to fuel us up for the afternoon. Workers are nice and so are their regulars! We had two dogs with us, so we grabbed a table outside and were also able to enjoy the view. Great place to stop by for a quick bite or especially if you're trying to avoid the crowd as the other brunch spots are packed.

I asked if one was enough for me and the associate said "yes, I can barely finish one". Not sure how that was the case as I was left hungry after I finished mine and my coffee. While they were preparing my order I overheard a cook say they ran out of bacon, then was told my order was delayed because they had to go to the nearby restaurant to get some bacon. My biggest gripe though is that they prepared 2 of 5 dishes on plates and for some reason made the other 3 in to-go containers. (We were one of two groups seated to eat in the dining area). Then they gave is plastic ware to use resulting in me breaking two forks while I was cutting my chewy crepe. Nice concept but it did not deliver on expectations. Highlight was the Mexican coffee. That was actually pretty good. Unfortunately I will not be returning.

Their specialty drinks are dangerously good -- the kind of drinks that make you take one sip and immediately start recommending the place to strangers like you're on commission. And the breakfast burrito? Absolutely elite. It's the kind of burrito that makes you pause mid-bite, stare into the distance, and rethink every sad granola bar you've ever eaten. And the space itself? So aesthetic it makes me want to become the kind of person who journals under a palo verde tree. Every corner looks like it was designed for a "casually candid" Instagram photo where you pretend you didn't spend 14 minutes arranging your drink.
