    We went in March of 2024 visiting to get out of the city, forgot to post my review. But this place was so cute, I love sunflowers so we had to stop in for breakfast. We both got a breakfast burrito, both were very delicious! The wait wasn't too long and the cashier was super friendly. They had large outside with tables and chairs, and oh yah pet friendly ;) saw bunch of dogs having fun with their owners.

    Stopped by as we were walking through Idyllwild and are super glad we did! First of all the owner was absolutely lovely and service was fast and friendly. Their brownie and their blueberry muffin were fantastic! Highly recommend the brownie. Someone behind us said we were lucky they weren't sold out as people come to Idyllwild just to get a bunch of them and you can see why. Super gooey, rich, and overall fantastic. It's a cute little place with outdoor seating outback (part is covered and there are heaters). It's attached to a parking lot so no worries there.

    Tiny mountain town bakery/café with a relaxed vibe and outdoor seating only, on the patio or in nature as the backyard. Plenty of parking. Tasty breakfast menu and pastries. Good coffee. Don't expect much alteration to the menu or brown sugar for your coffee. Your meals are served in a to go compostable container. I sat on the patio overlooking the woods, surrounded by nature all the while listening to a wonderful local artist strumming lovely classic and original Country songs on his guitar. I ordered the scrambled eggs with one extra egg (3 instead of 2), avocado, country potatoes and 2 slices of wheat bread. The eggs were fluffy and everything tasted great. I enjoyed my coffee. The lady manager/Owner was friendly and helpful. The young female assistant on the other hand had a little bit of an attitude. Thus the 4 instead of 5 Stars. Pricing is reasonable. If you ever go to the wonderful little town of Idyllwild Pine-Cove, be sure to try The Sunflower.

    Birthday sheet cake

    This review is several months late but alas here we are. I ordered a sheet cake for my partner's birthday in October 2024. Chef Janie was very thoughtful and communicative. I gave her about four days and ordered it ahead of time. I went to pick it up and met Janie in person for the first time and she was a delight! The building itself is super cute and the ambiance is boho chic. All the coffee and pastries looked great. Definitely going back the next time I'm in Idyllwild.

    Good morning sandwich
    Kira L.

    Cute place and enjoyed the live music, and I guess I'm aware that everything in town is pretty overpriced but the sandwich was $16 for just cheese and egg. It was pretty bland, had to put a lot of salt, pepper, and hot sauce on everything for some flavor and same with my friends who ordered the breakfast burritos. At first I assumed the sandwich came with a meat since the options were listed below it, but then found out it was an extra charge and the cashier wasn't going to tell me. I asked the bread options and she listed croissant as one and I was super interested, then saw that the croissant was also an extra charge and she didn't tell me? It was just confusing. Not about to pay $18 for a breakfast sandwich. So I said nevermind and just give me the plain meatless one on sourdough haha. And everything is served in to-go boxes plastic utensils. It was all fine, just could've saved my money and gotten a quality bagel down the road instead.

    The place itself was in a back parking lot so keep going until you find it! There aren't a ton of people working so be patient. They have buzzers that go off when your order is ready. I got the burrito and a dirty chai latte. The burrito was delicious!! The dirty chai wasn't as spicy as I'd like but it was fine. I loved the outside seating area in the back.. they had a musician when I went.

    Cute little bakery with a good selection of pastries, coffee & sandwiches. Service was good. They have a really nice sitting area in the back of the bakery with a lot of seating. We had the Mixed Berry Lavender Tart and the Brownie and both were good!

She worked closely with me to make sure the menu accommodated the dietary needs of a very diverse group of guests, which I truly appreciated. She made the planning process so easy and stress-free. The food was absolutely delicious! We had a fantastic variety of dishes--from flavorful fajitas to savory meatballs--and everything was a hit with our guests. Adriana also prepared beautiful veggie and fruit platters that were just as impressive visually as they were fresh and tasty. On top of that, the portions were extremely generous, which we really appreciated. The staff who came to set up were equally wonderful. They were meticulous, organized, and took the time to clearly explain how to heat and serve everything so the food would be perfect throughout the event. If you're looking for catering for any event, I highly recommend Adriana's Cocina. The quality of the food, the professionalism, and the care Adriana puts into her work truly stand out. I plan to work with her for all of my future events--five stars honestly isn't enough. I would give more if I could!

    Incredible Experience -- Above and Beyond! Gwen Marlo…read morecatering was an absolute lifesaver for our wellness retreat. I hired Annamarie and Messe last minute after our original chef backed out just two weeks before the event. From the very first call, they were responsive, kind, and completely accommodating to our shifting needs--whether it was allergies, dietary preferences, or an ever-growing headcount. Annamarie is an absolute sweetheart, and her warmth was felt not just in her presence, but in the food she prepared. Her husband was equally lovely, and together they brought such a beautiful, heart-centered energy to the weekend. The food was fantastic--nourishing, delicious, and beautifully presented. Everyone at the retreat was raving about it! We were aiming for healthy meals that still felt indulgent and flavorful, and they delivered that in spades. I can't wait to work with them again in the future. Highly, highly recommend!

    We hired Gwen Marlowe Food and Catering for our wedding day, and overall, they did a fantastic job…read more The food tasted amazing, and everything went smoothly thanks to their efforts. Here's our detailed review based on their food quality, presentation, performance, and customer service. Food: The food was very good and tasty. Every dish was flavorful and satisfying to me but others trying the food had their likes and dislikes. This was a refreshing surprise since wedding food can sometimes fall flat. With Gwen Marlowe's cooking, you're likely to get dishes that stand out in taste. Presentation: The buffet-style setup was beautifully arranged, with each dish served by the vendor team to ensure an elegant presentation. Most dishes looked fantastic, giving our guests a sense of a refined, well-presented meal. The salad presentation, though simpler, was still tasty and fresh, adding a nice touch to the spread. Performance: On our wedding day, the team was on top of everything, ensuring every guest was served promptly and helping set up the tables to look beautiful. We appreciated their professionalism and attention to detail, which helped make our reception feel special. It was also just nice having a caterer who was willing to provide the plates and silverware. Really good deal for that reason alone! Customer Service: While Anna, our contact with the company, was communicative and respectful, we slowly began to feel hesitant to ask for adjustments or additional tastings, as we sometimes got the impression our requests were becoming a burden. It just felt like the vibes were coming off as passive aggressive and we didn't understand why when we were willing to pay for more tastings. It's hard to understand why a food company would have difficulty wanting to serve sample tastings of their dishes especially when they were being paid for. For example, when requesting if we could try out their vegan curry option in addition to their lasagna vegetarian option, we made efforts to make things easier for this vendor by suggesting we could just pick up the food in a take out box without needing a nice sit down experience to save them time (we only did this because Anne emailed us saying we couldn't book another tasting due to there being no time for them to set up another sit down tasting). In response, we got what we wanted but Anne charged us $50 a plate when typically they went for $30 a plate with a sit down experience. So just to get a chance to taste their veggie options we paid them $100 for 2 dishes. We know it takes time to get the ingredients to make these dishes but this shouldn't be an issue for a company that specializes in food. Customers will of course want to try out the different options so make that easier for them. A food company should not make their customers feel like they can't ask to try out food that will be served to hundreds of people! We also felt she didn't handle feedback as openly as we had hoped, occasionally giving the sense that we were the only people they've served who had problems with a dish. Additionally, there were a few instances when my mother, whom we had authorized to communicate with the Anne, felt overlooked. However, on the wedding day, everything we had requested was delivered beautifully, and our guests were thrilled with the food. Overall, Gwen Marlowe Food and Catering delivered a wonderful dining experience on our big day, with delicious food, thoughtful presentation, and a seamless performance. We just hope anyone booking them has a better experience with customer service as we unfortunately felt like a bother to this company. Thank you Gwen Marlowe for making our big day so special though

He also made sure he took good care of the one vegetarian in our crew, as well as being very attentive to some food allergies we had in our group. His pricing was fair, and he was super prompt and flexible. Our comms were a bit hit or miss as we dialed in details a couple months before the event - but once we got to within a week or so, and certainly as we were going through the event, his comms were on point. He provided a bartender on our first night, and that was probably the only place there was room for improvement, as the bartender wasn't very personable, and left without saying goodbye or cleaning up after himself. We'd definitely use Matty again next time we're out in the desert!
