THE 'JAVA-TRONIC'
GREEN CAFE
HOURS
Please, appointments only, until further notice.
Our email is info@greencafe.com and our phone
is (951) 659-6000.
Notice: As of May 5, 2026, Green Cafe is twenty-nine years old. Yes, we have been happily in Idyllwild the whole time.
SERVICES
We are an Internet service provider, located at an elevation above
5,500 feet. Our
services include WEBSITE DESIGN, EMAIL, FIBER, CABLE INTERNET, WIRELESS and COMPUTER ASSISTANCE.
We are Idyllwild based and provide some specialized computer and Internet
related services. Additionally, if you came up "The Hill" for the weekend and
somehow forgot something technically important, we might be able to tell you where in town,
or near town, where you can get the item.
Our primary focus is the advancement and preservation of the arts,
culture and the environment through the use of digital technologies. We
strongly believe that Idyllwild is much more than a collection of
pleasant shops ... but in fact a collection of creative talent
located in a dramatic environment that rivals any other area on
earth.

public enemies...

ROADLESS BUSINESS MEETING
September 15, 2026 @ 6pm
There will be a one-hour prep call (e.g., Zoom) to discuss the local conservation
issues that directly impact Idyllwild’s tourism
and outdoor-recreation economy.
The topics focus on the Roadless Rule and our national monuments;
protecting our national parks and other public lands from privatization
and development threats, including the recent proposal involving Yosemite;
and the impacts of financial cuts at the U.S. Forest Service,
National Park Service and Bureau of Land Management.
It will be good chance to learn about these issues from the POV of local business.
Topics covered include a review of hardhitting talking points, answer questions and
help prepare to speak directly with our member of Congress about what healthy,
protected and well-managed public lands.
All this will be in preparation of the local townhall type meeting on Saturday, September 21, 2026, with our local congressman, Ken Calvert, who represents Idyllwild, California, as part of California's 41st Congressional District.

Longtime Idyllwild musician, Almadeus Star, who lost his home and his collective artwork and intellectual catalog to the 2025 Altadena wildfire, has a new album and it is only available on vinyl. The album cover (
above) was created by Matt Mahurin, who is famous for directing and filming the official music video for Disturbed's cover of "The Sound of Silence." Star is anything but silent as he lays down his limitless philosophical and experiential thoughts to vinyl. Why is this album only available on vinyl? The reason has to do with his belief that the recorded analog signal is the penultimate way to affect a liberating and real aural experience. He finds alternative forms of music distribution can be laden with consumerism and thus come across as transient and unaffecting. The artist in Star wants his followers to have something tangible that maintains it value. You can find out more and listen to samples by visiting his websites
InsiteAge.com and
Almadeus websites.

LINKS SECTION
As so much has rapidly changed on the Idyllwild scene, we thought we
would completely revamp our links section. Below, a new listing for 2026 is being
initiated and we anticipate you will soon find that each entry embraces a substantially
Idyllwild centric and integrated nature.
