Cafe Aroma

Great, massive patio overlooking Strawberry Creek. Tasty brews of course, but also delicious, filling food options like burgers, fish & chips, nachos, and more. Family friendly for lunch + early dinner and a more lively social crowd on weekend nights.

Great breakfast + light lunch. Vegan/vegetarian breakfast options include one of the best breakfast burritos we've had + giant vegan cinnamon rolls. Good lattes, too. A nice outdoor area and small enclosed porch for indoor dining. Across from Idyllwild Gardens, so you can pick up a new succulent while you're at it.
