Where to get coffee in Oak Glen proper
So you have already arrived in Oak Glen and you need your coffee fix. You have a few options available – I will break it up between places where you can get a basic cup of black coffee and where you can get espresso based drinks.
Places to get a basic cup of black coffee in Oak Glen (creamers/sugar typically available):
- Apple Annie’s at Oak Tree Mountain
- The Farm Kitchen at Los Rios Rancho
- Hawk’s Head Restaurant and Bakery at Riley’s Farm
Places to get espresso coffee drinks in Oak Glen:
- Wilshire’s Apple Shed – my personal favorite! They use Wild Goose coffee and 1883 brand syrups. Serving traditional and local flavors (like the caramel apple latte), this is the spot I recommend. Try their delicious wood-fired pizzas while you are there! Here’s the cowboy pizza (tri-tip, pulled pork, bacon and jalapenos, YUM) and maple cinnamon latte I had on my last trip.
- Coffee cart at the Oak Glen Farmer’s Market (Saturday/Sundays only) – the one I have seen there is Drip and Sip Coffee, I haven’t tried it but you can check out their flavors by clicking on the link to their Instagram.

My Favorite Local Coffee Shop
The best coffee in my opinion is one made with homemade syrups and in-house roasted beans. If you agree, then you must stop by Landmark Coffee Roasters located at 35009 Yucaipa Blvd in Yucaipa. It’s kind of a hole-in-the-wall shop in uptown, but parking is generally plentiful on side streets and it’s a very short detour to stop there going up to Oak Glen.
They are open Monday-Thursday 7 am – 4 pm and Friday-Sunday 7 am – 6 pm.
