Mariposa Coffee Company

After driving by the Mariposa Coffee Company on the side of Highway 49 between Oakhurst and Mariposa several times, I had to stop by to check them out. The parking lot was huge, and nearly empty. It wasn't immediately clear which building was meant for coffee sales. When I walked in, the first thing I noticed was an incredible aroma. It smelled like cocoa and amaretto. Behind the first building was a second building, where bean roasting demonstrations appeared to take place. Behind this was a building that looked like a house. I looked around for a coffee menu, but didn't see one. I wasn't sure whether they sold hot coffee, or just bags of beans. After waiting for a few minutes without seeing anyone, I started to leave. As I was walking to my car, a man yelled, "Wait, I'm coming!"I was thinking, "Wow, this would never fly in the city." (For like, *so* many reasons.)"Can I help you?"I felt bad leaving after he had sprinted for me, so I said, "Yeah, I just wanna get one of those Alternative Baking Company cookies."He told me that they were a big seller among local teenagers after school, and that he would never raise the price, even though he was only charging a nickel more than he paid. So, I've been a huge fan of these cookies for about half my life now. I always look for new flavors, and rarely find any. But here I found an Amazing Apple Cinnamon cookie. It was sooo good. To be fair, I still haven't tried the coffee. But I would stop by again for the cookies alone.

Honestly.... just come... don't question it... just come and visit the Mariposa Coffee Company. This wonderful spot has some of the best coffee I've ever had with owners and staff that I just appreciated. The young lady who helped us the first time was so amazing, and the owner ws just as amazing as a good cup of coffee with a little bite lol.They have a couple of amazing pups there as well who are just love bugs.We went there on two of our trip and got a couple of half pound bags... and that did it... we were sold... and before we left, we left with like 8 bags and a bag if hot chocolate. Like I said, don't question it... just go, lol... the owner said it himself... if he himself did not like it... he would not put it on the counter, lol... WE WILL BE BACK... AND WE WILL BE ORDERING MORE ... thank you for being amazing.

What an amazing coffee shop with an amazing coffee shop owner. Ordered a black coffee with the recommend beans the owner suggested. I recommend to stop by and get some beans. Ambiance is great. Parking is easy to find.

This place is an experience! I loved chatting with the owners while waiting for the coffee to brew (inside their house ). Coffee was delicious and there was even fresh, warm bread to eat with it! We bought the cinnamon raisin bread and the cheddar jalapeño bread. So good! Highly recommend stopping by. You won't regret it.

Been drinking Mariposa Coffee since retiring here in Merced. Picked some up at the local Raley's Market. Merced Morning stuck out since this in my new home town. Always a very excellent cup on my Jura E6 Machine. Love supporting the local business as well .

Not a coffee shop; mostly a roaster. They are willing to brew you some via a pour over. The lady was really nice, and explained all the roasted coffee that they carried. If you buy some, they won't be able to provide vacuum sealed bags, you know it's fresh because their beans are warm to the touch. Visually, the place looked like an old farm. As she was explaining her coffee, she explained that they also sold their coffee online and through some grocery stores, and in my opinion, that is probably the best way to get their coffee is probably through one of these avenues as the main location is a bit out of that way from the main street of Mariposa, and when I visited, I wasn't told about much to see or experience by visiting, but I did read on a company blog that roasting demonstrations are offered. But I did visit close to closing as I went on the way out of Yosemite; I only learned about them through their donation of coffee to the Yosemite Climbing Association's Facelift event.

Really very consistently good coffee! Very good baristas that are friendly and so many great flavors of coffee!

My favorite coffee beans of ALL time. Nice body and aroma. Flavors are always fresh and amazing. Owner is so sweet and humble. Love the feel of the place and especially the blue heeler that greets me each time. Recommend Banana nut if they have it in stock:)

Super cool coffee shop in the middle of Yosemite. You should drop off this shop and get refreshed your body expecting long drive.

Gerry is very informative & nice man. He let us roam around his beautiful backyard meanwhile he prepared our coffee. Absolutely loved the vibe here! Definitely coming back when in town.
