High Country Health Foods — Restaurant in Oakhurst

Quite late in writing this review but finally got around to it and had to write this review as food was just fantastic. We visited here in June 2023 when we went to visit Yosemite National Park

We stayed overnight in Mariposa and since we were going to spend all day at the Yosemite, we figured we would pick up a few sandwiches for a picnic lunch at the park. Since all of us were vegetarians, there wasn't a lot of choice for places to grab from but in my search I did come across High Country Health Foods cafe. As I reviewed the menu online, it certainly had a good choice of vegetarian sandwiches and they also sounded good, Plus it was only 5 minutes from our hotel and on the way to Yosemite so decided to go there

Food - My wife picked up 2 sandwiches (Farmers Market & Lush Meadow) and 1 Green salad . We thoroughly enjoyed the lunch as sandwiches and salad were all very delicious and healthy. Enjoyed the fresh avocados on the sandwiches and they were not miserly in adding the avocados. The portions were just perfect not too small nor too large and all the items were very fresh. Unfortunately we were not heading back to mariposa else I would have picked up sandwiches for the road trip (ha!)

Service - very friendly and were willing to adjust some of the fillings (e.g. substitute items and add additional items).

I am so glad we discovered this place and its definitely a great place for vegetarians/vegans. Even if you are not a vegetarian, their sandwich is worth trying (PS they do carry a lot of non-veg...

Looking for a sandwich place to grab some lunch for our hike to Mariposa Grove, my fiance and I found this cute little cafe/grocery store on Yelp and decided to give them a try. I ordered the Lush-er-Meadows and Hornitos sandwiches. We stored them in our backpacks and took them with us on our 2 mile hike to Mariposa Grove.

Once we got to the grove, we had a little picnic at one of the benches. The sandwiches held up pretty well considering the sunny spots we went through and the mild warmth of the weather. We dug into our sandwiches immediately since we were so hungry. They tasted really fresh, especially the Lush-er-Meadows! Lots of veggies and tasty bread. The Hornitos was pretty good too - with a tangy BBQ sauce on the chicken it was really juicy. It did leak a little bit during the hike, but still tasted just fine.

They didn't have the chips that were supposed to come with the sandwich, so they gave us a bit off our order to make up for it. I wish the sandwiches were a bit bigger for $10 each approximately - we were still a tiny bit hungry after our meal. But overall...

Stopped at High Country on our way to Yosemite. Ordered two great sandwiches and was served very courteously and efficiently by Teresa. An hour later we enjoyed the sandwiches while staring at El Capitan in all its glory along the Merced River. But here's why I needed to give this place five stars and a rave review: I absent-mindedly left my backpack there. In it was a rather expensive camera and lens. When I finally realized it, we were already in Yosemite Valley. I called them on my cell phone and Tim answered. He was already on it. Told me they had already found the backpack and when they saw it had a nice camera in it, they immediately locked it up in a closet for safekeeping. A few hours later, we returned to the shop and they seemed as happy as I was that the backpack was safely back in my hands. Wonderful, friendly people. They deserve all the business they can get....
