1. Erna's Elderberry House
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 280 reviews
Reviewed By Dcubed - Northern Calfornia
We traveled to Yosemite to attend the Bracebridge Dinner at the Majestic Yosemite Hotel (grr, it is and always will be the Ahwahnee despite the trademark wars!) and wanted to dine outside of the hotel as we would be eating there for the rest of the weekend. So we happened upon Erna's Elderberry House on OpenTable and decide to try it despite the >1 hour drive from Yosemite Valley to Oakhurst that the trip would take. We were more than amply rewarded with a wonderful meal in a cozy beautiful dining room that was decorated for Christmas. The food was fantastic, the service was superb. The staff was smooth and gracious and we were greeted by a printed menu with our name on it and then received a delicious amuse bouche to start off our meal. This was followed by tasty bread and then by a wonderful 3 course meal (we chose the fresh fish as our entree, marvelous!, the restaurant offers a 3, 4 or 5 course tasting menu or selections ala carte). The waiters offered great suggestions as to the wine for my wife and provided me with a house made elderberry based sparkling nonalcoholic drink as I had to drive back to the Valley(sigh). The meal finished with a lovely dessert and great coffee. And as a final touch we were sent on our way with individual almond cranberry pastries to have with our coffee at breakfast the next day. An evening and meal worth every curve negotiated to and from !!!!

Quick breakfast before heading in to Yosemite. Donuts are as they should be - soft and tasty, staff is friendly and patient (three kids) and the customers are smiling and interested in foreigners, even though they must get a lot of them every day, being so close to Yosemite.

You'd think with a name like Cool Bean Cafe, it would be all about the coffee. However, I don't even drink coffee... it's my husband and daughter who telegraph "coffee, coffee, coffee" morning, noon and night. They tell me it's the best. For me, it's the Italian cream sodas... especially the vanilla... it's a must try, and if your indulging, ask for the real cream along with the whipped cream. In addition to the great drinks, it just feels good to support a local mom and pop shop. We don't have enough of them anymore... we're fortunate to have a great one here in Oakhurst... thank you Cool Bean!
5. Zanders Coffee

The coffee is fresh and delicious, and the wait staff always friendly. There is a small bar inside with a couple of stools where you can sit, and a small patio, if you prefer sitting outside in the "village". There is also a drive-through, but it can get busy.
6. Reimer's Candies, Gifts & Ice Cream

Reviewed By ThomasTCat - St. Louis, MO
We had been wanting ice cream the whole time we were in Yosemite, but couldn't find anything special while we were in the National Park. We happened upon Reimer's while on our way to Sequoia, and what a delightful surprise. We were given samples to choose from, all of them delicious. We each ordered our favorite, and they were exceptional. The person that waited on us was so nice and explained how this business came about. While we were there, the building started filling up with happy customers who evidently came here frequently. It's a fun place to stop for ice cream, homemade candy, or gifts. We were thrilled to find out that there was another location at Three Rivers, close to where we were headed.
7. Sugar Pine Pizza

Small cafe style Pizzeria. BYOB Did you know that #Sugarpinepizza Is #Dogfriendly ??? We welcome all members of your family including Service Dogs of every kind.
Reviewed By Rogerdob - La Canada, California
We found the pizza to be quite bland and tasteless. What is funny is that this place has a warning posted inside that states “suffering from allegies can make a pizza taste bland and flavorless.” The pizza is tasteless without having an allergy! Another problem was the wait...after arriving to pick the pizza up at the scheduled time, the owner said “just a minute more”....And it turned ot to be over ten minutes more. The place does not serve alcohol but is OK if you bring it in. I really wanted to like this place, it is owned by a very nice couple who were great to talk to.

It is your normal Starbucks. Friendly staff and all the regular stuff. We do enjoy the breakfast sandwiches at Starbucks. I decided to write the review only to address the parking at peak times you might not find a spot. But they have a drive through.

This establishment is a great place to stop and get your eat on. On the way to Yosemite, in the middle of the Coarsegold Historic Village, you can eat inside or enjoy the patio area. The food is very good and shopping in the Village is fun.

We went here twice for ice cream. Several people had ordered food to go and one was eating outside. There is a very small inside dining area. The food looked pretty good to go but eating there....well, let's just say the flies win.
I had a swirl soft serve chocolate dipped cone...it was OK but not as good as diary queen. The husband had a vanilla shake the first visit and it was pretty good. He had the ice cream and pineapple shake the 2nd visit and it came with chocolate ice cream....ick...he wished he had known to ask for vanilla. We tried to eat the ice cream there but the flies and the heat...well we are walking back to the car.
The place looks old...but I will say the waitstaff were super friendly and it is definitely a locals favorite. I would do takeout though and not eat there.
