Went in this morning because I was looking for breakfast and some good coffee. The shop was easy to find. Walking in it's a cute quaint little shop with ice cream, lots of baked goods, coffee, and breakfast. I ordered a breakfast sandwich on a croissant and a medium mocha with whole milk. The coffee was very creamy and delicious, the bacon, egg, and cheese croissant sandwich was also very delicious! I will definitely be back when I'm back in town! read more

Ordered a cake and cupcakes for a birthday party. The cake was dry and the frosting had no flavor. They didn't have a box for my cake so she had to use a large Amazon style cardboard box, jaggedly cut, with copious amount of tape, holding it together. Their design printer doesn't work properly, and the picture on the cake was missing red (anger from inside out was yellow). I knew this ahead of time, but chose to do it anyway. The cupcake's icing was disgusting, and the flavor was probably from the food dye; almost a chemical taste. There's no way there was sugar in them. The vanilla and chocolate cupcakes were cooked properly, but the red velvet was overcooked and dry. The owner just opened a store in midtown Manhattan, and it seems that this store is an afterthought to her. read more

Ordered the "go army beat navy" box for a small office party. It comes with 4 assorted flavors of cookies and cupcakes as well as 4 brownies. I tried a bit of each and was pleased with the flavors and textures of everything. The cupcakes were soft, moist and perfectly flavored. I even liked the vanilla frosting (I am not a big vanilla frosting girl). I tasted vanilla and chocolate cupcakes, both had vanilla frosting. The brownies were a little thinner than I am used to but still gooey in the middle. I tried 2 flavors of cookie - sugar and oreo - both which were excellent and so soft and gooey. The sugar cookie was the underdog here and probably my favorite. Would order from here again for their delicious desserts! Online ordering was easy and my order was ready and waiting on arrival. Should have taken a pic, but the photos on their website are pretty accurate. read more

This bakery is legit. We got many baked goods to try, cookies, muffins, cupcakes. I can honestly say these were probably the best I've had. I'm serious, and I'm obsessed with Classic American style bakes. Like obsessed. And their bakes tucked every box for me, flavor, texture, sweetness. They could not be improved upon! Also the stuff was SO lovely and nice!! We aren't in the area often but go back at every possible chance. If you find yourself close by please don't miss Bear Mountain Bakery! read more

Best. Caramel. Cheesecake. Ever! So creamy and decadent! Oh my, I'm going back before I leave Highland Falls! Very friendly, helpful staff/owner, too. West Point parents, if you have a student here, you can subscribe monthly treats, or send birthday treats, to be delivered to your loved one on campus! read more

The baked goods are home made, but they are not my cup of tea. The croissant were not flakey and light- they were more dense. Cookie was hard and crumbly - I prefer them with some softness The cheesecakes funfetti and strawberry) were crumbly and not smooth. Pricey for this area as well. Street parking. read more

The atmosphere was different when Alan owned the bakery. In addition to being quite messy, the bakery appears to be understaffed. One of the young employees was putting together meals on the front counter where they handle cash, and I felt uneasy since people were approaching and chatting over the food they were going to sell.I requested that the croissant be warmed due to how hard it was, but I was denied . I questioned if everything was fresh before I bought it, and they said that it was, but it was obviously not. The customer service was also not very amusing. read more

Very close to the main gate at West Point. I really appreciate that they make a service out of serving cadets and their families. It's great to see their Facebook posts of cadets receiving their boxes of goodies. The pictures of cadets are very fun. This visit we had prosciutto panini. My wife said the chocolate chip cookie was DELICIOUS! I'm not a chocolate chip connoisseur, but I trust her. read more

Everything about this place was amazing food, service, ambiance! I was treated with such respect and order was made to perfection! I love freshly baked goods and let me tell you this place knows what they are doing! read more

If you have not been here in a while, you are missing out!! The place is under new ownership/ management that took over in very early 2020, and i don't even remember what it was called before. The current place makes some amazing things - most notable to me are the individual tirimusu which were AWESOME. Extremely good apple crumb pie and slamming lemon bars. Their coffee is also likely the best in town!! Stop by --- unlike the previous owners they're now open 7-days --- and I couldn't be happier! read more

I love this place! My so lives within walking distance and I love coming here every time I come up to visit. All of their pastries I've had so far have been delicious! The cannoli cheesecake has probably been my favorite so far. Super friendly couple and I love seeing them busy with other orders in the back. I love that they change everything with the holidays, even their desserts! Overall 9/10 would recommend. Only reason I don't give a 10 is because I'm not a big fan of their coffee:/ read more

Two words RED VELVET! I had the most excellent experience with Bear Mountain Bakery. All communication was done via text or phone call. I was in search of a birthday treat for my son who is a cadet at USMA. After a short 5 minute conversation, I had set up an in person delivery of a dozen red velvet cupcakes for him. I even got a picture texted to me of him with his goodies. BONUS!! Most importantly, he said they were delicious! I could not have asked for a better surprise for him. Thank you to everyone at the bakery. I look forward to being a regular, long distance, customer. read more

This place is adorable and the food was delicious. We got bacon egg and cheese on a bagel and the carrot cake. Everything was delicious and well priced. The people who served us were friendly and helpful. We were just passing through on a trip but we recommend anyone from the area to patronize this business often!

Never been to the location but ordered online. The service was outstanding. My cadet got her box of goodies delivered to her as expected. They did an excellent job at communicating the drop off location to her and they were on time. She said the cookies were outstanding. Will surely use this business for other special moments. Good to know that a local business is there to support our military cadets when they are away from home. Go Army. read more

Everything I've tried so far has been great, but my favorite has to be their brownies, which are so fudgy and chocolatey. I love them so much. Also, I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving, so I can order one of their crumble pies. They're ridiculously good. read more

Bear Mountain Bakery & Cafe - Special Birthday delivery! - Bakeries Near Me - Highland Falls, New York

Staff was so kind and all of the treats looked delicious! Looking forward to trying more of the bakery items!

Bear Mountain Bakery is just what we wanted when arriving into town to see our Cadet at USMA. They had faithfully delivered a myriad of scrumptious treats and sweets to our son and his company for the last several months and we wanted to taste some for ourselves! We were delighted by the delicious scones but even more so the customer service provided - not just for us but for our Cadets! Reasonably priced but out of this world taste - thanks BMB!!! read more

Bear Mountain Bakery & Cafe - Assorted cookies - Bakeries Near Me - Highland Falls, New York

I decided to give this place a second shot after a year away. I immediately recalled why I never went back in the first place. If you want a comfortable study spot, this is not the place. Dead flies and spider webs throughout. For those of us who've managed within customer service, there's something off-putting about an owner or manager taking up an entire table to display a mess of papers while working. It was also odd to me that the man at the table was oblivious to the fact that a young lady was visibly busy in the kitchen. It took for me to reply to her greeting with "Thank you for acknowledging me- I'm in no rush" for him to finally get up and behind the counter to help her. If you want decent coffee at a fair price, this is not the place. I paid $4+ for a mediocre small coffee expecting something awesome, when I could have paid less for more (or at the very least, the same quality) at the DD across the street. The guy obviously had no idea how to make anything on the menu. If you want to pay by card without being required to pay $7 minimum, this is not the place: A) It's 2021. B) I'm not paying MORE when I'm already patronizing you. C) Your inflated $7 minimum sign is the size of a business card and hidden below eye level. At first I thought I was holding this place to too high of a standard. I figured a small mom and pop business would be humble enough to ensure their product and service go above and beyond, seeing as to how so many others have had to close. My sympathy was brief once I was sent down the street by the guy to search everywhere for an ATM. If I had been in a less forgiving mood, I would have left the arrogance and crappy drink behind for the DD across the street. I discussed my feelings and thoughts with colleagues at WP and they all unanimously agreed, stating that they prefer competitors in Cornwall or the big name chains. I say save your money and time by heading to some of the many more deserving cafes in the area. Sure, "It's just a coffee", but it's my money and I prefer to drink deliciousness while rewarding those who deserve it. read more

The place is nice , the staff is very friendly but is not a Bakery is a muffing place, they have plenty but no Bread, no croissants, no donuts no bear claws, just muffins and brownies(and they are dry!!!) i was hopping for a real Bakery but what we got was a muffin shop!!! Time will tell if they make it!!! I wish you luck!!! But i do not Recommend this "Bakery" read more

The bakery always has a great selection. I personally go for the chocolate chip cookies - they are the best!

Went here for first time and had a tough time deciding on what to get for a friend coming over for coffee. Place was super clean & donuts were coming out of the oven...smelt amazing. Since scones are a favorite of mine, purchased the blueberry & the apple cinnamon. Both delicious and huge! Tasted good the next morning as well reheated in the oven. Will be back for some cupcakes and other goodies for the holidays. Jackie was super nice and friendly. We need more shops in town like this. Kudos to Bear Mtn Bakery & Cafe! read more

Everything I've tried is delicious. Legit the best scones I've ever had. Grab the banana pudding when you see it. Oh, and the croissants too, the best. read more

Owned by a USMA old grad ( hence helpful hours), this place has delightful pastries and wonderful sandwiches. They are a great pre game stop before USMA events AND deliver treats to cadets! I find the staff VERY helpful friendly, the treats are intense, flavorful and SUPER RICH. read more

People were very inviting and friendly. The egg sandwich was delicious but the baked goods were to die for. My favorite was the glazed doughnut with fruity pebbles sprinkled on top. I also liked the cupcake and blueberry scone. Far from average. Great treat! read more

This is the second year in a row that I have ordered baked goods to be delivered to my West Point son for his birthday. I cannot recommend these guys enough, they have the best customer service ever! The best part is that they will send you a picture of your son or daughter when the delivery is made. My son does not send pictures, the picture alone was worth the order. Oh, and the baked goods are awesome to! I am happy to support businesses like this! read more

Came here to redeem myself with a certain somebody and thought this would cheer them up. I've never really go to bakeries, but everything looked appetizing. The workers were very helpful in helping me choose treats that would help me and my predicament. At the end, I got an assortment of macarons and a blueberry scone. Each piece was delish. I'm glad I came here because I completed my objective :) read more

My cadet says the cupcakes and sugar cookies were some of the best he's ever had. He brought home the sugar cookies that were left and we are all saying, "Yes, these are the best"! It is evident that your ingredients are the real deal! Personally, I love that you carry LaColombe coffee, my favorite! We'll be in the next time we are in town. Great product! Great service! Simply the best! read more

I love this place! They are so wonderful with being able to order special treats for the holidays for my CC at the Prep School and they send a picture of them too! Ordering is an easy process and my son and his friends loved them! Thank you so much :) read more

Thank you to Allen and the team for an amazing show of compassion and community last weekend. Bear Mountain Bakery's beef stew was just what the doctor ordered to help our cadets through a difficult time. Additionally, our cadets love the Sunday breakfast biscuit subscription! read more

The Bakery was in a cute location beside West Point. The people were kind and their hours are generous! My daughter loves sweets; especially cupcakes. However, we were disappointed with the product. The cupcakes were super heavy and/or super dry - the cake and the frosting! The frosting was rich with sugar and butter too! We love cupcakes and really expected light and moist cupcakes with creamy/whipped like frosting with variety. We were severely disappointed. read more

One of the best breakfast sandwiches I've had in this area! The eggs are always made fresh, and they have a variety of different meats to include ham, pastrami, and prosciutto. Not to mention, the cheese melts over the eggs phenomenally. The staff is friendly, respectful, and always willing to try new things. For me personally, the vanilla latte and/or cappuccino is amazing as well. Coffee is always very well done. read more

They are back open! We love this local spot for coffee, dessert, and breakfast! Wonderful people!
