They have Peet’s coffee here but limited food choice of soup and sandwiches. The salmon and vege are cold sandwich. Nice place but I wish they have more selection like pizza or warm sandwiches.

You should try the beef and beans soup! Its the reasons why we come there again in the next day. Beef beans soup is the best meal in all Yosemite Valley.

In thanks to Degnan's Kitchen for being open Christmas Day, 2025. I am truly grateful and appreciative of the kindness shown to us on Christmas Day. All smiles and happy holiday attitudes. Such lovely people! I'm pretty sure most would have liked to have been home with family. Again, thank you to Degnan's and the community of employees who worked hard to provide a nice meal and for making us feel welcome at the cafe.
The lentil soup was delicious as was the BLT sandwich. And who knew, they have the best coffee, bar none! Lots of good options at a decent price.
Best employees ever! I wish I could give them 100 stars for customer service.

If you’re a coffee snob like me, you already know the struggle in Yosemite Valley because most of the coffee options aren’t great. So let me save you the trouble: you really only have two decent choices. One is here at Degnan’s, where they serve Peet’s Coffee, and the other is the Starbucks inside Base Camp Eatery. Degnan’s also offers a few small pastries to pair with your drink.
I want to give a special shout out to Maria, who was working the counter during our visit. She was so friendly and refreshingly honest. She realized she forgot to apply a discount for the guest ahead of me, immediately called him back, and corrected it. She absolutely didn’t have to do that, but actions like that show real integrity. I love seeing that kind of customer care in such a busy national park setting.
Just a heads up: Degnan’s doesn’t have a huge food selection. Our friends grabbed a bagel and a cinnamon roll, which were perfect for a quick bite or something easy to take on the go. And honestly, if you find yourself wanting to complain… take a breath and remind yourself why you’re here. You didn’t come to Yosemite for craft coffee or gourmet food. Remember, you came for the experience, the nature, and the views.
Degnan’s does exactly what you need it to do before a big day of exploring the park.
Can't believe there's Peet's coffee here and no mention on maps

Tasty bites for everyone. Quick, efficient service at normal ark prices...i.e. a bit high, but convenience is everything. The Peets Coffee staff deserve a special shout out as they appeared severely understaffed and rose to the occasion! The blowers above the entrance doors are obnoxiously loud...but I'm sure there's a method to their madness.

Not sure why this place doesn't have a 4.5 rating or higher. The views are great, bathrooms are clean, food is delicious, and staff is friendly.
