Idyllwild Coffee Roasters

if you're driving up into the san jacinto mountains and the altitude starts doing something to your sense of time, idyllwild-pine cove has a way of slowing everything down before you've even parked. that's the setting for idyllwild coffee roasters, sitting on north circle drive in a town that runs at its own pace whether you want it to or not. the roasting happens here, locally, which means what ends up in your cup has a shorter chain than most places you've stopped at on the way up. regulars have made this a fixture with real conviction, not just habit. you don't drive this far into the mountains for something you feel neutral about. come for a slow morning, stay through the cortado.
