Alpaca Coffee & Tea - Idyllwild-Pine Cove, California

adorable little place. I appreciate all the hard work and efforts that go into making all the syrups /flavors. the plant life in there is thriving and gives off a relaxing atmosphere. the baristas are always a pleasure to deal with. Jordon greeted us with a smile and laughed at all my bad mom jokes while making a delicious vanilla latte.. Raven was a delight recommending the honey lavender latte to my sister, who said "it slaps" Jason, the owner was as sweet as can be. A must stop coffee shop when visiting town.

So refreshing to go to a cafe that has actual ceremonial grade matcha and prepares it right!!!! Like look at the color of my matcha. I almost cried looking at it. The strawberry one was amazing & so was the banana! My boyfriend ordered his own strawberry matcha two days in a row and all he does is tell me how bad my matcha tastes when I get it everywhere else - so congrats on fixing him. My friend also had a dirty chai and it was so good; plus they had a good selection of protein and granola bars in case you need some last minute fuel before going to the nearby trails.

Ordered an iced mocha and iced matcha-cano (matcha americano). Both were great! The mocha was not overly sweet and the matcha was ceremonial grade and you could taste the quality. The barista was also helpful and nice, and the space was clean. A great pick me up on the way back home.

Cute place. Food is really good and has great portion sizes. Just know the bakery and coffee shop are separate. If you want a custom coffee, you had to order and pay at the opposite side of the restaurant. The customer service is always great. I recommend it to everyone. It's great to go for a drive and hike nearby and end the day with a meal here and coffee.

THIS PLACE AL-PACKs A PUNCH! Alpaca is simply delightful, they are known in the community for their speciality coffee, tea and boba drinks! I had the pleasure of enjoying their Spanish Latte which came highly recommended. I loved it, I ordered it with oat milk and it had the perfect sweetness! Definitely would order it again!

I wish Alpaca had more drink sizes, all of them are pretty tiny. So you're paying 6.50+ for a small drink. Thankfully, everything tasted good but I was really looking for something a bit bigger. The shop itself is cute and has a fun, sunny atmosphere. There's very limited space and hardly any tables inside. If you're looking to hang out, they have an outdoor patio with some shade.

Service was pretty good, this is a Korean-owned business which makes me so happy as I love to see more diverse businesses join Idyllwild!

Really kind and friendly customer service.

They were out of almond milk so I got an oat milk latte. It was good, not amazing. I think Stumptown coffee used to be better; or maybe my tastes have changed.

Small little place that opens up into a separate restaurant where you can sit down. Haven’t had anything at the restaurant, but I did have the Nutella and Spanish lattes from the cafe, and boy they were 😋 👌🏼. Service was fairly quick and friendly, and the drinks were reasonably priced. They also have chagaccinos for the shroom lovers out there. I’ll definitely come back!

Cute. Cozy. Delicious. And great coffee. Can't ask for more. Staff were super friendly, and the food was great. So good we came back a 2nd time at the end of our trip. We enjoyed it more than and other places in town.

Meat and Eggs, California Omelette, and breakfast burrito can all be recommended

The Spanish Latte is also fantastic. Just the right amount of sweetness. Simple latte was also great
