Alpaca Kitchen

Alpaca Kitchen is a short drive outside of downtown Idyllwild, but it’s also on the way to popular trailheads like Southridge and Ernie Maxwell. That makes this tiny coffee shop/cafe an ideal fuel-up spot. There’s a small sit-down area if you want a full breakfast, but our move is to grab a sausage-packed breakfast burrito from the hot case and a chagaccino, an iced latte infused with chaga mushrooms, cinnamon, vanilla, and monkfruit sweetener. It tastes great—just don’t ask us how.
