20 Best Coffee Shops near Lake Arrowhead

“Such a wonderful place to have an event! We held a conference here with ~75 people and it was a great experience. The staff was incredibly helpful, especially Jamie and DJ Clay. If you will be hosting a conference or even in Lake Arrowhead, this is by far the best place.“

“The McDonald’s Lake Arrowhead Village is easily one of the most scenic fast food spots you’ll find. Located right by the lake, it offers beautiful water views that make a simple coffee or burger feel like a mini mountain getaway. Sitting by the windows and looking out over Lake Arrowhead especially around sunset adds a peaceful, relaxing vibe you don’t usually associate with fast food.“

“Amazing coffee! Amazing scenery!!! Lady taking the order seemed a bit rude. Odd, cause in front of us she was talking it up, chit chatting, smiling. As soon as we got there, complete 180. Now, it could have just been her friend and she normally rude or straight forward like that with the rest. Just know! That coffee was so GOOD! Im definitely going back.“

“My husband and I went in for coffee earlier today. Coffee was great, atmosphere was fun, and we split a superb chocolate chip cookie. My biggest regret was that we got there super close to closing and didn’t get to sit at a table and chat, but we’ll be going back so I’ll get my chance. I was also pretty psyched to catch the Local 80 sticker in the window. 😉“

“Viva La Boba is easily one of the best drink spots around. I recently tried the Taro Milk Tea with Cold Brew, and it completely blew me away.
Combining the smooth, nutty sweetness of taro milk tea with rich cold brew is absolute genius—it balances the creamy, earthy taro perfectly against a bold coffee kick without being overly sweet. The texture was spot on, the boba was fresh and chewy, and the staff were welcoming and fast.
If you are looking for a creative, delicious pick-me-up that stands out from standard boba menus, this drink is a must-try. I will definitely be back!“

“Came here per a co-workers recommendation. So glad I did. Oh my goodness the bread is so fresh and along with fresh ingredients it makes a very tasty grinder. Nice, friendly local place. You can tell there are a lot of regulars. Thank you!!“

“Having just moved to town, this coffee shop became one of our very first introductions to Crestline and it could not have been a better welcome.

From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere reflected everything you hope for in a small mountain town: warm, inviting, and genuinely personal. There’s an authenticity here that immediately makes you feel like a local, even on your first visit.

The menu is thoughtfully curated with a wide variety of options ranging from handcrafted coffee drinks to smoothies, making it approachable and easy to navigate without feeling overwhelming. Every item felt intentionally selected to cater to both regulars and newcomers alike.

What truly elevated the experience, however, was the hospitality. The shop is locally owned and operated by an incredibly kind woman whose compassion and attentiveness toward every guest was impossible not to notice. That level of genuine care is rare and it leaves a lasting impression long after you finish your drink.

Places like this are what give towns their character, and it’s safe to say this won’t be our last visit.“

“Had to pick up a dozen donuts ? for my WEED guys, and gals gotta keep ' em happy you know, the munchies. And got myself a plain bagle with sausage bacon cheese jalapeños and eggs and a coke you know the munchies

“I have been going to Baguette Express since I was a little kid and going with my family for about 25 years following them through the move from being near Ralph’s to the strip mall by El Pollo Loco. No one has better bread nor meat anywhere in the Inland Empire. They have the best Bahn Mi’s. I love this place and wish I was closer nowadays.“

“The burger, I believe Santas village cheese burger is what it was called was delicious and the fries that came with the burger were great friend of mine ordered the chicken sandwiche thinking was called prancer something. I did get a appetizer basket of fries skypark style which had cheese and onions on them, the name of the fries were something related to Christmas. First time at Skypark Bike Park and it was so much fun the food was great too.“
