Sticks Coffee is a cozy coffee shop and bakery nestled in the heart of Mariposa, offering a casual spot for both locals and travelers passing through. The space feels inviting with comfortable outdoor seating that’s perfect for a sunny morning or lazy afternoon, especially for those gearing up to explore nearby Yosemite. Inside, the atmosphere balances laid-back local charm with glimpses of community personality, like the art pieces decorating the walls.

What stands out here is the quality and care behind the coffee and food. The baristas are approachable and ready to guide you through their thoughtfully crafted drinks, including standout seasonal offerings like their pumpkin spice latte, which leans more on warm spices than sweetness, and the lighter, refreshing piña colada matcha latte. For coffee purists, the Costa Rican single-origin espresso and flat white provide well-balanced, nuanced options. All syrups and flavors are made from scratch, which adds an authentic touch to every cup.

The menu extends beyond coffee with hearty breakfast options that suit anyone looking for a satisfying start to the day. The breakfast sandwich, notable for a surprising kick of pickled peppers, combines eggs, bacon, cheese, and avocado in a way that has won quite a few local fans. Other fresh bakery items like scones and focaccia also catch attention, pairing perfectly with the coffee or a tea. If you find yourself wanting something savory, the za’atar chicken sandwich and chives and parmesan biscuit offer flavorful bites worth trying.

Sticks Coffee works well as a morning or midday stop for a casual meal or a caffeine recharge. The friendly, efficient staff makes the experience straightforward, and the prices feel reasonable for Mariposa’s slightly tourist-driven market. Many visitors choose to relax outside when the weather allows, soaking up the small-town vibe while enjoying their drinks or breakfast. It also draws in bacon lovers and those seeking a no-fuss place to grab something fresh before exploring the mountains or returning from a day out.

For anyone in Mariposa craving well-made coffee alongside thoughtfully prepared breakfast fare and a welcoming atmosphere, Sticks Coffee fits that niche neatly—especially if you appreciate a balance of spice and freshness in your latte or a sandwich with a bit of character. The spot tends to feel most comfortable on a sunny day when outdoor seating is open, making it an ideal local morning ritual or a quick stop on the way to Yosemite.

Best coffee shop in Mariposa! Barista was super nice and helpful for deciding what to order and explaining specialty drinks. They make all their syrups from scratch! I loved my PSL, one of the best I’ve had - it’s more spice forward than pumpkin which I prefer. My husband got the seasonal piña colada matcha and really liked it too. Light and refreshing flavor. Both were perfect sweetness - just sweet enough, but not too sweet.

The staff was super friendly and helpful. The caffeine beverages were DELICIOUS just the right amount of favor not too sweet, not bitter. My friend said it was the best pumpkin spice latte she ever had. Food was all tasted very fresh and wonderful. Sat outside and it was a comfy and inviting.

I highly recommend this place! Excellent service, delicious food and drinks — definitely worth a visit. P.S. The scones are amazing! Grab some to go because they’re even better when enjoyed with a view!

Excellent breakfast option in Mariposa! I had their delicious breakfast sammie and lovely Happy Camper latte - everything was SO good - service was friendly and prices were decent too. The breakfast sammie is eggs, bacon, cheese, and avocado with an unexpected but fantastic bit of pickled peppers for a delightful little kick. It was one of the best breakfast sandwiches I’ve had in California and would definitely recommend! And how could I resist their Happy Camper Latte? Anyone that knows me knows I love all things marshmallow and this was phenomenal! It’s basically a s’mores flavored latte that comes topped with two giant, perfectly toasted marshmallows. I got it iced - the coffee was smooth and it was surprisingly not overly sweet - It was heavenly! I loved their location too - the little town of Mariposa is very walkable and Sticks is located right at the entrance of the cute River Rock Inn. They had a cozy ambiance with plenty of inside seating as well as a few outside tables surrounded by plants and flowers with views of the town. If you’re staying at the River Rock Inn, you get 20% off your breakfast from 7-10am as well so that’s pretty cool! I stayed nearby while visiting Yosemite but would consider staying here next time - and will definitely be back for breakfast next time I’m in town!

Stopped by to get coffee while traveling to Yosemite Park. The service was very fast, staff was friendly and they had some nice art pieces hanging on the wall. It's definitely a place for bacon lovers.

Truly a gem of a place! The camper latte with marshmallows, whipped cream, and crushed graham crackers was so delicious and yet not too sweet. The granola bowl was also a treat with a mix of seasonal fruits from figs to berries. Wonderful way to start the morning!

The place is an absolute gem, staff is amazing, espresso coffee drinks are top notch with a no frills breakfast menu. Lattes were in front of us by the time we finished ordering, with latte art no less. Toast was delicious and delicate. We'll be back for sure, 10 stars
