Pupfish Café

Eastern Sierra


Named for a fish found in Death Valley, this small cafe at the back of Spellbinder Books is an excellent place for breakfast or lunch or for whiling away a few hours with a coffee. The newspapers and board games help pass the time. Avocado toast and butter waffles are the specialties, but paninis and salads round out the menu.

Parking and another entrance are in the back.
