Pure Bean

5 of 5 Stars

An indie* coffee shop that opened in a space vacated by CBTL a few years back. I've only been there a couple of times so far, but I'll definitely be back! I've been "working" through their signature drinks. So far my favorite is the Cardigan (coffee with cardamom, a few other things and salt). One of these days I'll get there early enough to try their pastries.

It looks small from the outside, but there's actually quite a bit of room inside. Multiple booths and tables for socializing (though it gets echoey), and a counter for solo coffee drinkers and computing. Free WiFi. A few small tables out front.

Might as well be - they apparently have a grand total of three locations, the other two in Idyllwild (also California) and Rapid City, South Dakota.

Pokémon Go Note: The café sign is a Pokéstop, and there are multiple other stops and three gyms within range of the parking lot and across the street.
