El Mono Motel & Latte Da Coffee Cafe

How does anyone get in touch with this hotel or coffee place? I’ve been trying daily for weeks and no one picks up the phone. I emailed and got a one sentence response weeks later. What a shame. If anyone can give me the number I would appreciate it.

Every time we are in Lee Vining we stop for the wonderfully tasty sandwiches and excellent cappuccinos. They have created this beautiful, peaceful atmosphere in the backyard garden that gets visited by a great variety of song birds and butterflies. The barista really knows his trade, top notch cappuccino! We very much appreciated it being served in real mugs (instead of wasteful paper cups with plastic lids like everywhere else…)

Latte Da Coffee serves up great espresso drinks! The menu is brief, but the offerings are quite good and GLUTEN-FREE bread and treats on offer. Definitely worth a stop on the way up to Mono Lake or back to your campsite.

I dropped by the cafe to get a cup of latte. Talked the owner, gentle old lady and we had good conversations:) she is super nice because she offered me to make another one if it’s not hot enough. Such a nice hospitality she has. Like their cute and warm feelings and atmosphere!

Loved this little spot. Super comfortable beds, wow! I wanted to take home the bedding actually 🤣 and they have a awesome little coffee shop and home made baked goods and sandwiches. Best place in Lee vining by a loooong shot! (Traveller from Wales)

Wonderful motel on the Mono side of Yosemite. Small but perfectly formed. Gorgeous garden and great vibe. Get a sandwich and a smoothie, top notch!

A friend and I stayed at this motel on our way to Yosemite. We stayed in one of the upstairs units which has two rooms and a shared bathroom. Upon our arrival about 6pm, our room was INCREDIBLY hot! There is no A/C but the small windows were open and 3 osculating fans were going. We decided to go to dinner but upon returning it was still very hot. At this point the bedside lamp in my room started blinking off and on. I called the office and advised them of the 2 issues. The woman sounded confused about what to do concerning the light. Her response to the hot room was it would cool off as the temp was expected to dip into the 40's. What she didn't relate was that wouldn't happen until almost 6 am! Unfortunately for us, the room temperature didn't feel any different until around 3 am when it probably cooled to the high 70's. Added to this was my bedroom sat right above the kitchen, which only added to the heat. The bathroom was nice but the shower stall was very small. We did visit the bakery in the morning and the breakfast sandwiches and coffee were very delicious. I can only assume that all the ground floor rooms are more comfortable as they don't appear to ever get direct sunlight, but the owners should install some kind of A/C for the upper floors because that kind of heat is unacceptable for a lodging establishment.

This review is for the coffee shop! Absolutely delicious breakfast sandwiches. Homemade, fresh ingredients every time we come in. The coffee is great too! Don’t forget to grab a pastry before you head out. You will not regret it. The lovely ladies behind the counter are always cheery and wonderful to chat with. WiFi and clean restrooms also available. This is a perfect place to unwind, or to bring your computer in to get some work done. Highly recommend!

I would do six stars if I could!! Best coffee and breakfast sandwiches on the east side. Beds in the room were super comfy. Bathroom in our room was great and we had plenty of hot water to shower to clean up after a long day in the mountains.

Best caffeine spot to start and end our backpacking trip. Tasty tea and coffee options with super cute outdoor seating
