High Country Health Foods & Cafe

2/04/25 Getting lunch! The worker was very kind and happy to give recommendations. Their most, popular, Totokon, that he said was plenty to share. It won! He said it would be ready shortly and I went in to get it shortly later. It's a little grocery store & restaurant. Short wait in line. Told worker my name and it was handed over. Lunchtime! Sandwich split. LARGE! My half was Really DELICIOUS! Fresh & Flavorful! Great side sauce too! Mother said her half was GREAT with nice flavor! Good service & GREAT lunch! Highly recommended!

Before I talk about this place, I highly recommend the El Portal route into Yosemite if you're trying to find reduced traffic heading in, which passes by this place. The pay station also has a shorter drive into the valley. Of course, if it's your first time ever in Yosemite, you may prefer the route that enters through Tunnel View, although going through El Portal only takes about another 20mins to drive back into Tunnel View.Anyways, this was the perfect pit stop for our road trip. Honestly I didn't make reservations to get into Yosemite this time, so was stuck going in after 4pm. I timed getting here on time but was still early so made the best choice ever to stop here. It's basic but has everything you need as a pit stop - groceries, cafe with fresh juices, AC, indoor seating and clean bathroom. This is going in my bookmarks!

High Country Cafe in Mariposa is the perfect stop before heading to Yosemite National Park. They offer delicious sandwiches with gluten-free and vegan options, catering to all dietary needs. The attached grocery store is incredibly convenient, stocked with all the necessities for camping or an extended stay. The staff is wonderful and amazing, making the experience even better. I highly recommend stopping by during your visit. Don't miss out on this gem!

I love this restaurant and workers. Whether you order food or use the Grab and Go case, the food and service is consistently great. The ambulance is casual. There is a great little food store attached to the restaurant and you can but fresh cut flowers here at a reasonable cost, also.

What a fantastic find! The best curated health foods stop in CA! Better than whole Foods, Berkeley Bowl , COOP Sacramento. Very clean , up to date. The owner knows food nutrition, and caters to a wide range of tastes and needs. The restaurant makes Great, tasty and Nutritious meals. The mens bathroom is decorated with biographical write ups and photos of the founders o Yosemite and Mariposa, really interesting !

We stopped here while visiting Yosemite and found this great little spot. Originally we stopped here for lunch but was surprised to see the that the market here had a variety of fresh produce as well as other goods.The sandwiches were delicious, I got a Bootjack but all looked great and it was hard to choose. It was nice to have such tasty and fresh food on the road where fast food is the norm. I would highly recommend this place as a quick stop for lunch and a place to pick up some supplies for your trip!

Came here for breakfast and the food was so healthy, filling, and delicious. The chai latte was quite good as well. The staff was friendly and very fast. The cafe is located right next to the health food store and there's plenty of space for sitting. Would pack some of their sandwiches to go for Yosemite next time!

Stopped here on our way out of town after visiting Yosemite. We had been craving some good healthy food after a couple days of eating out and this place did not disappoint! Everything was so fresh and delicious. Would have eaten here everyday if I knew it existed earlier. Portions are filling and prices were pretty good too

My group of 5 flew in the door in a panic, as we weren't sure that the café would stay open for us for lunch at 2:40 PM (Cafe closes at 3). Not only did they happily take our order, but they got all five of our sandwiches out in about 20 minutes. They were the perfect refuel after a long day of hiking in Yosemite. With Burger King just down the road, I'm glad we chose this option that left us feeling nourished and energized. I think I found my go to lunch spot for yosemite and I can't wait to come here again!

I am sorry that i did not take a picture before, but my bagel sandwich looked so good that i began eating it immediatly. Everything was so yummy, from the bread, egg, bacon and avocado. Will be returning whenever we come back to Mariposa.
