for the number of times i've been in the chelan area, i can't believe yesterday was the first time…read moreid been in bear foods. it most definitely wasn't nr be the last! absolutely amazing array of offerings n virtually every department! standouts are bulk, wine, snacks and toiletries. if you need something specific they will most likely not only have it, but have more than one type/brand to choose from. this f you're staying in or near town and need restocking of vacation food items, you could always go to safeway or red apple-like grocery stores but the quality of items in bear foods is going to make whatever you're preparing all the more delicious; it will definitely cost more but in my opinion, its going to be well worth it. it's convenient because it's right downtown and given the smoky summer the area had had, these businesses could use our love

During my stay in the Lake Chelan area, hubby and I decided to take a walk around the downtown…read more After grabbing a delicious coffee from The Vogue, we stopped in here and I was thrilled! Lake Chelan doesn't have much in terms of high-quality vegetarian or plant-based gourmet options, but Bear Foods was a massively delightful surprise! The store is absolutely PACKED with things that I wanted to look at and take home. I was impressed with how many things they stocked that were items I've only seen online and never seen sold in stored. We took a super long time through the coffee and tea isle and ultimately took a few boxes and tins home with us because their selection was so good. Their cheeses and gourmet snacks area was well stocked, and I could see how some of the vacationing non-locals could keep a business like this afloat even with their considerable prices. I really wanted to go back, but we were in the area for a wedding and our timeline just didn't allow it to happen. Otherwise, I probably would have brought home a lot more of their amazing goodies! Only downside for me was that during our time there, there was a mask mandate, and not a single person working there was masked. I thought that was an odd thing to have despite the state's requirements and especially because they were a grocery store and having significant contact with patrons. Other than that, it was a really positive experience and I would absolutely return.

It might not be the fanciest place, but it has a warm, welcoming, and super clean atmosphere that instantly makes you feel at home. Plus, everyone here was incredibly friendly. The value you get for the price is unbeatable--our meal was exactly $15! I ordered the Breakfast Bake, which came with a fluffy frittata, roasted potatoes, and a side of fresh fruit. The frittata was packed with feta cheese, making it wonderfully savory, rich, and creamy. It was so much better than the brunch we had at another spot the day before! My friend ordered the Gutbuster, which was a hearty, delicious scramble-style dish. Looking around, it seemed like a lot of other tables were ordering pancakes or bagels as sides, which looked amazing too. Definitely stop by this cafe for a perfect, budget-friendly brunch during your trip!

It was sickeningly sweet and was far too light (too much milk). I moved to an iced green tea, but it was quite watery. We ordered two burritos, a chorizo and a sausage one. Sausage was fine, chorizo had some sort of rice or cornmeal in it and was very crumbly and dry. I can't remember the last time I returned food, but took both the burrito and latte back. My husband's quad shot vanilla latte was also very subpar. Stick with the baked goods and you won't regret the visit! Stray from that path and you'll find disappointment.

We came here to celebrate a birthday--just three ladies enjoying a night out--and overall had a…read morereally nice experience with a few hiccups. We started with two mocktails and an IPA. The mocktails were not only delicious but beautifully presented, which made them feel a little extra special. For appetizers we had the house bread & butter and the French onion soup. The bread was fresh and paired with a high-quality, creamy butter that tasted amazing. The French onion soup arrived in the cutest little pot with a lid and had a rich, savory flavor with perfectly melted cheese on top. Unfortunately, there were whole peppercorns in the soup (I fished out four), which was surprising and almost ruined an otherwise great dish. Entrées were a mix of hits and misses. The grilled salmon with dinner potatoes was the star of the night--perfectly cooked, flaky, and full of flavor. Absolutely spot on. The crab cakes were a good size with lots of crab and a nicely crisp exterior, but I did find pieces of crab shell in mine. The side salad that came with it was the biggest disappointment--no option to swap it out and the lettuce was visibly brown. We also ordered the mushroom pasta. I didn't personally try it, but it looked great; however, I was told the flavor was a bit lacking. Dessert totally redeemed any small issues--the chocolate mousse cake was incredibly decadent and rich. Definitely a must-try. I even took a slice home for my husband. Service was friendly and attentive, drinks were great, and most of the food was very good. Our total was close to $200 for three people, which felt fair for the quality and the occasion. Would come back again--especially for that salmon and the chocolate mousse cake--just hoping for a little more consistency next time
