    During our visit to Leavenworth, we stopped into Bear Bear for an early breakfast. This quaint restaurant is located a few blocks from front street. We were warmly greeted by our server upon entering the restaurant and quickly seated at our table. After contemplating what to eat (everything looked so good!) we ordered and enjoyed- Chicken and waffles- wow! What an amazing dish! The real Maple and caramel syrup really made the dish! Eggs Benny with bacon- loved this dish and the scratch hollindaise. We had a wonderful breakfast and we will definitely visit Bear Bear again when we return to the area!

    They had an easy waitlist system. The service was average and goood. It wasn't anything out of the normal standard brunch options you'd see on the other side of the mountains. But tasted fine and good. It met our needs and we were pretty satisfied after the meal. The food was a nice simple but cozy brunch experience.

    Another stop on our Leavenworth trip was Bear Bear, where we decided to grab breakfast. One of the biggest perks was the location. It's conveniently right across the street from where we were staying. The restaurant itself is very cute and offers both indoor and outdoor seating. Since we were hungry and didn't want to wait, we chose to sit outside on the patio. Thankfully, it was an enclosed tent area with two heaters running, which made it comfortable. We were seated quickly and looked over the menu right away. I ordered the Bread Pudding French Toast, which came with whipped vanilla crème fraîche, maple caramel syrup, and fruit compote. The bread pudding itself was good, but in my opinion, the fruit compote wasn't necessary. It ended up overpowering the flavor of the bread pudding rather than complementing it. My cousin ordered the Chicken and Waffles, which I also got to try. It was okay, but not quite what we were expecting. The chicken was more like a chicken tender instead of the usual chicken thigh we've had at other chicken-and-waffle spots. The waffle was very soft and lacked the crispiness that helps balance the dish and hold up to the chicken. Overall, our experience was just okay. Nothing bad, but nothing particularly memorable either. On the plus side, the service was good, and our food came out fairly quickly after we received our hot cider. A decent breakfast option if you're nearby, but not a must-visit during a Leavenworth trip.

    We arrived at Leavenworth after 2 hrs and 20 mins drive. There was one parking spot left at the Park and Ride so we were able to get free parking. Bear Bear was one of the few places opened early enough on a New Year's Eve so we had lunch there. My daughter had their House Waffle and the maple syrup was a full maple taste! Mine was Salmon Latkes. It was delicious! The latkes were very crispy and even my daughter enjoyed it. Service was very quick and there was a long wait especially they will close by noon due to New Year's Eve.

    An amazing find, and highly recommend. Cane during the off season so not busy at all. Love the cozy feel and service was friendly and quick. Food was beautifully presented and had so many flavors. The mushroom melt was my favorites.

    Service was great. I put ourselves on the waitlist and we were seated as soon as we arrived. Great start to the day! We had the latkes and biscuits and gravy. The latkes were perfect. I wasn't crazy about the biscuits. But take this option with a grain of salt. I've had biscuits that are dense but softer than what they are serving. Still a delicious dish. Like most places in Leavenworth the decor is cozy and you feel like you're in their cabin serving you breakfast. Mmmmm so nice.

    If you're looking for a cozy breakfast with warm and welcoming staff, I recommend that you give Bear Bear a try. They have a small indoor seating and covered outdoor seating as well. We were greeted and seated immediately and our server Emily was super patient with our party of 5 and answered all of our questions. Amongst the group we ordered the side Potato latkes with Herb Creme Fraiche, side fried chicken tender, Fried Chicken and Waffle. White Chedder Grits and Greens and Spice Salmon Latkes and the Big Bear Brekky Sando. The side fried chicken tender was a little dry by itself, but the fried chicken and waffles were a perfect combination of sweet and savory. The latkes were crispy on the outside and soft and tender on the inside. The white cheddar grits were okay, but the breakfast sandwich was nice and filling. Over all great customer service and comforting food.

    Place is small and you're most likely going to have to put yourself on a waiting list. But it's well worth the wait. Was seated outside and thankfully there is a covered gazebo with heaters because it was raining pretty hard. I was skeptical on ordering the PBH Waffle (I'm pretty sure that's what it's called) and glad I did. With every bite, I was left wanting more. Service was great and our server was all smiles. Highly recommend the Bear Bear.

    My favorite meal is hands down always gonna be breakfast and since this place was so close to where we were staying, it was a unanimous YES when we suggested trying out this cute restaurant! We got here right when they were opening and Danny (not sure if he is the owner but he was awesome!) was setting up the sign outside but told us we were welcome to come on in. We had a wheelchair and a stroller in our party and he said he would get the back ready so we would be able to use that entrance to get the wheelchair in. He pushed some tables together since we had a bigger party and made sure we had a place for the stroller and was so accommodating and kind. The space here was so cute and welcoming, there were cool pictures posted up on the walls along with some great quotes too! Not only was the service and decor incredible, so was the food!!! Danny told us one of the specials was pumpkin waffles and since that is my jam, i had to jump on that! But so many other things looked so good too so i ended up getting a few things! We def ordered a lot of food and you could say we enjoyed it because we ate everything. Oink oink is right!! Check out all my food pics of the breakfast sando, eggs Benedict, French toast, and all the other deliciousness we ordered!! Bear bear also serves lunch so you can swing by for that meal too! Really awesome place, def stop by for some great food and wonderful service if you're in the area. Thank you again for everything, Danny, cant wait to come back!

    Smoked salmon latkes
    Amanda M.

    This was a great brunch spot! I ordered the smoked salmon latkes with a poached egg on the side and my boyfriend ordered the biscuits and gravy. The smoked salmon latkes are outside of my normal brunch repertoire, but this dish hit the spot! The latkes were pretty thick, but very crispy on the outside. The smoked salmon had a sweet / savory flavor and went very well with the whipped cheese. The serving size was generous! The biscuits and gravy also had a rich flavor, with a good amount of protein. Our server was friendly, made a few order adjustments without issue, and our food was out quick. We loved sitting on the patio with some shade and a view of the mountains!

    Eggs Benny
    Samantha B.

    Came here while visiting Leavenworth with a group of 6 others. The place was busy on a Sunday morning but the wait wasn't bad at all. We were sat at this picnic table on the side of the restaurant which I can appreciate because the place itself seemed a bit tight and we were a bigger group so it was nice to have our own little area. A couple of us in the group ordered the cold brew coffee and it wasn't great. It tasted like drip coffee really. I wouldn't recommend the coffee here. But to eat I ordered the Eggs Benny with bacon. This breakfast dish was delicious. The eggs were poached perfectly, the bacon was crisp but not too crisp... hit the spot! The latke was probably my favorite part though!!! So light yet crispy. I loved my choice. Everyone else in the group seemed to enjoy their dishes as well. This was a great breakfast spot, I would recommend it!

    The ambiance was cozy and friendly. We sat indoors and it felt like we were in a cabin. They have outdoor patio seating as well. We put ourselves on the waitlist and was seated in about 10 minutes. We ordered the biscuits and gravy, ricotta frittata, waffles, and salmon egg benny. Food was good but none of the dishes were stand out amazing in our opinion. Maybe we didn't order the right items? I'd recommend for the cozy ambiance and friendly staff.

    Biscuits & Gravy with poached egg

    Food is very good. Truly enjoyed our meal. Easy to walk to location. Waiter was great & very helpful and friendly.

I ordered the Healthy Hash and a chai with oat milk (so good), and they also had gluten-free bread and soy butter, which honestly made my morning. I'm also grabbing a Bloody Mary, and everything has been excellent. The vibe here is what really sets it apart: super chill, cozy, and welcoming, with genuinely friendly staff. I also loved that they have games and beautiful photography/art books out and available to use -- it's such a fun way to actually connect with your group instead of everyone defaulting to their phones while waiting for food. I noticed the sign saying they're celebrating 25 years, and I truly hope they're around for many more. Leavenworth is such a cute German-style town, but as someone who can be pretty picky (and with dietary restrictions), it can be hard to find a place I really love -- and this one delivered on every level. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town.

During peak times you may find yourself waiting in line for 20-30 minutes. The good news is the line moves quickly, and there's plenty to look at while you wait. The main line is for the incredibly tempting cookies and drinks, while a separate counter to the right is dedicated to food orders and is usually much shorter. Near the entrance, there are charming displays of gingerbread houses and detailed dioramas that serve as a fun distraction while you wait your turn. Once inside, the display cases are filled with an amazing variety of treats--cupcakes, cookies, cinnamon rolls, Linzer and gingerbread cookies, and many other delicious options. Everything looks so good it's hard to choose! We ended up ordering three cookies per person and happily stretched them out over the next few days. Before heading back to Seattle, we made one last stop to grab a to-go box for the road and for home. Totally worth it. Yummo! Also, there is a small Gift Shop all things Gingerbread.

Walking down the town's main road, Gingerbread Factory is one of the first whimsical storefronts that catches your eye. The owners also run Andreas Keller, the popular German restaurant just downstairs. The bakery has been around since 1988 and got a fresh remodel in 2011! The moment you step inside, you're transported to a storybook scene -- think fairytale cottage vibes with a faux tree, ornate wooden window frames, and cozy indoor picnic tables. The back room houses the main bakery counter, along with gingerbread houses, themed merchandise, and treats lining the walls. They offer cookies, cupcakes, croissants, ice cream, and more! - Coffee Chip Ice Cream -- one of my all-time favorite flavors, with bold espresso notes and rich chocolate chips. My family and I ended up playing a round of Catan at one of the tables. Such a cozy way to enjoy our dessert! The line moved quickly, and the staff were warm and welcoming. Definitely worth a stop for a sweet treat and a taste of gingerbread magic!

The wait here has always been long due to the size of the place, but today it was due to poor training and staffing. We walked in and these two girls are shouting at guests they are the only people working today and there is going to be a wait. Of course I sympathize. A few small tables are sat quickly but everyone else is told to wait. A party of 6 told them they were on a schedule and the waitresses told them it was fine. Being a small group we got sat, but there was a lobby FULL of people who stood there while we ate our whole breakfast. There were about 5 open tables but the waitresses didn't try to bus them and were running around like crazy and returning to the kitchen time and again empty handed. Eventually they shouted to the waiting area of people they were going to bus the whole restaurant (seriously) and seat everyone at once. Obviously no training here at all because the kitchen must have had no orders for 30-45mins and all of a sudden are going to get hit with a whole restaurant of orders at once so now the wait worsens - what a mess. The table of 6 that arrived at the same time as us was sat as we were finishing, but we never served. They left un-fed after an hour and a half. The food was fine but there was no excuse for the wait (forgot to mention this is a Monday at like 10:30 so not a breakfast or lunch rush happening, also not a weekend). This place has always been a dive and totally falling apart in regards to decor but it was forgivable because the food was good. I feel bad for writing this because those poor girls were working hard but they are completely untrained and the place was understaffed. There are SO MANY fantastic new restaurants in Leavenworth they are really going to have to step up their game to survive!!

Decorated like your grandma's kitchen - no real theme, save for just stuff on the walls - not usually a big deal for me, but for some reason it was super distracting.

Traditional breakfasts - heavy, buttery, greasy, meaty and decent portions. The food was good - but nothing really stood out. I had the chicken fried steak and the gravy was bland - no spice, or even a hint of pepper. For a waffle haus - the waffles were a bit soggy and didn't have that crisp which really holds syrup. But hey - if you are looking for some chow - then this is a decent spot.
