Omg loved it! Both mornings was pleasant. Was here for a Christian men's retreat. There's a review on here about water flow being low and they have them a negative review for that. Water flow. In the restroom. Lol seriously? You came for the coffee. Omg. Lol anywho, I'm a coffeenatic. Got the whole coffee roasting thing going on at home. These are great coffee beans.

I had a vanilla latte and when I walked in it was very spacious. I stood in a long line but the line went by quick. I sat down enjoying the sound of Mack Miller. I saw a couple dogs outside and said hello. The vanilla latte was good and had 4 shots of espresso. Although I don't think the coffee was strong and it wasn't piping hot like I like. I still give it a solid 5 stars.

Pure Bean Coffee House, located in the small town of Idyllwild, was a lifeline on our weekend trip! My group and I managed to book our camping trip on the one weekend that got rain. Nonetheless, we woke up one cold morning and made our way to this local coffee shop where we could all unthaw out our limbs. They have a lot of drinks to choose from but I always get the basic latte (subbed with almond milk). It's a great atmosphere with tons of seating both inside and out. There are lots of couches, tables, and chairs, and just an overall great place to hang out. The service was quick too. The lady at the register was very helpful and sweet.

Super cute cafe in the heart of the main village square. They are dog friendly (clearly look at my pups face!). I had a dragonfly ice tea lemonade and it was pretty good. Not much seating inside, but lots on the deck. Everyone was friendly.

This is a charming little coffee house/shop with all sorts of fancy coffee drinks. They've got baked goods, too. The interior is quaint and comfortable. Counter staff were all friendly.The coffee drinks we tried were very nice. One of the pastries we tried was pretty average, while the other (the churro scone) was terrific. So it goes.I would happily return.

I love this coffee shop! It's my go to place when we visit Idy!! It used to be named Higher Grounds.. but recently found out they were bought out by pure bean. Really sad. I've Im honest, the name pure bean for this coffee shops local is kind of wack! Higher grounds was just dope and matched the atmosphere of the coffee shop. We got the raspberry Italian soda! My husband says it was good! Exactly as stated, but ice made it flatten out fast. I got the campfire latte iced which was super delicious! Aside from lattes as a double shot having a lot of milk, this one I could still taste the espresso. Not a huge punch of caramel and vanilla flavor though but I didn't mind. Goat cheese spinach egg muffin was good! I just wish it wasn't so messy to eat!

Good coffee shop, coffee was okay, not super spectacular. It's also a good place to sit and talk or do some work. Customer relations were good too. Price is normal for a mountain top coffee shop. I also tried white chocolate muffin, it was good.

Teas were 5 starsService was 6The nice barista was super sweet and helpful when I stressed about ordering a caffeine drink. She was flexible and made me a tea with lemonade to cut the caffeine.Super sweet petite with long hair in a pony tail. The customer service can make or break a place. The drinks were great too! We'll be back!

Most comfortable cafe anywhere un like SB et al. Friendly owner recognized my centenarian friend to coffee and a muffin. Enjoyed the food, coffee snd good company. Cant wait to go back. I think the last time was 2020 just before Covid raged.

I purchased a Original Bialetti 9-Espresso Cup Moka Express | Espresso Maker Machine (9-cup, 18.5 fl oz, 550 ml), gluten free lemon-blieberry bread, and two cups of coffee.It's a high quality Italian espresso maker. You can get it on Amazon for a dollar less. I've also purchased a cheaper version on Amazon, but it was made horribly and didn't last. This coffee shop sells great products. I'd rather pay a dollar more, take it home that day, and support a local business.Best gluten-free desert bread I've ever had. Coffee was wonderful and smooth enough to drink black..The baristas were very kind and helpful. A+++ across the board.

My husband and I enjoyed a chai latte here multiple times on our visit to Idyllwild. Atmosphere is friendly and inviting. Comfy seating inside, clean bathroom and outdoor seating available.
