Love this place! Every time we visit Lake George (every summer) we go here and get delicious coffee and small breakfast bites.

Finally got to try Bear's Cup after it being on our list to try for a long time. And I'm thrilled to say that it exceeded all expectations and lived up to the hype. The bagels (that chewy texture!) were perfection. It was the best bagel my husband and I have ever had. And the folks who were work there were so friendly and helpful. Plotting our next trip to Bolton Landing to get more bagels! read more

Amazing coffee! Owned by a hard working and kind woman. Also has very good food. Awesome music playing. Perfect spot for this really cute town. Get there early because the line can get long for this spot. It's a local favorite. read more

Came to lake George for the first time and looked up reviews for bagels and pastries and even though there was only about 50+ reviews it was a solid 5 stars!!! This place is AMAZING!!! The food is fresh and delicious. We came here 2 days in a row !! Being from NYC we are all about our bagels- this place is top notch / our bag of bagels were hot and the smell was absolutely fantastic. A crunchy outside, cooked perfectly with a great softer inside. The Nutella banana croissant was to die for!! This is a must try!!! The almond croissant is another solid choice. The coffee was satisfying!! Line moves quick,they have a great set up. If I come back to visit Lake George I will definitely be coming back to Bearscup. I highly recommend this place. They are doing an awesome job at this place. 5 stars across the board !!! read more

LOVE this spot so much. Amazing bagels and coffee. I'm sure the pastries are great too. We just kept ordering bagels when we visited during our week long vaca in LG. My fave - everything toasted with veggie cream cheese. Bagel sandwich was amazing too. Maple latte is my fave. Can't wait for them to get merch so I can order a couple things with their cute logo on it. So happy this store opened in Bolton Landing read more

10/10 bagel sandwiches. Coming from a New Yorker/ new jerseyan this means a lot. If you are looking for a breakfast sandwich while In Bolton Landing then look no further. This place is a knock out. read more

Amazing breakfast food. Their bagels and pastries are made in house, fresh and delicious. Loved the 2 eggs on everything bagel and their croissants . Super highly recommended to anyone in the area. read more

Great coffee, delicious fresh made baked treats. Order via window & await your name to be called. Bear claws were flaky and filled well. Treats are perfect for strolling along the sidewalks or breakfast read more

What a little treasure tucked away in a cute small town. The service was impeccable and the place spotless. The food was down right SCRUMPTIOUS! Everything bagel was a little salty for my taste but we had a big order and everything else was superb!! Will definitely be returning soon and often. read more

The food was excellent including the baked goods! My chai latte was mostly milk with not a lot of spice flavor. That is why I rated it 4.

The kind of local coffee place you will wish is in your town. This place is beyond excellent. The pastry case, THE PASTRY CASE! Exquisitely crafted baked treats. I came for their hand rolled bagels but left knowing what I will be returning for. (whispers ... scallion biscuit of joy, chocolate sea salt cookie of decadent deliciousness, brown sugar palmier, and that heavenly looking raspberry cream cheese poppyseed danish) The everything bagel toasted with good ol plain cream cheese was everything. The staff is beyond delightful. I loved the large neon "Now Baking" sign in the back. That font was solid. It's all about the details here. This local lake gem is truly a perfect place. Stop here many times on your lake getaway please. You will not be disappointed. read more

This was a great little spot we stopped at before our ride home to the city. Great coffee, good Food and excellent staff. We will definitely make this our go to coffee shop the next time we are in town :) read more

Sadly this will be my lowest rating yet, although the food and service was good the drinks we got were below standard. The reason I am giving this review is the price, they were most outlandish in their arbitrary prices for such underwhelming drinks. However, I must say the latte did do its job properly by making me more alert to balloons. Good day to you all. Follow for BTD6 tips! read more

Fantastic bagels. Probably the best vegan cream cheese I've ever had. Bear claw was a hit with our family. They have gluten free bread available. Friendly service! Recommend. read more

Stopped into this new spot in Bolton yesterday. Yummy dark roast coffee and a reeaaallly yummy huge cookie. Very cute. Bolton needed a place like this! read more

We came to Bear's Cup 2 days in a row and had the best breakfast sandwiches and the best bagels in upstate NY. The latte's were great too. We also tried their dinner restaurant located right next to The Bear's Cup called Loda and enjoyed great drinks and food. Highly recommend both locations. We will definitely be back. read more

Wow wow wow is all I can say. We live 4-5hrs away and I will, without a doubt, make the drive just to have their breakfast again. Their croissant breakfast sandwich (bacon, egg and cheese) is everything. It's amazing on an everything bagel too. We ate here every single morning of our vacation and wish we could bring this place with us. Oh....and don't forget to grab a bear claw before you go (salivating just thinking about it). read more

Tried a matcha latte with lavender and honey, if you like it a little sweet I suggest adding more sweetener but it tasted subtly of lavender and honestly had a perfect balance read more

Bear’s Cup - Sandwich menu - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bolton, New York

As a former artisan bread baker, I had to visit this little place and I was seriously impressed!! I'm from The Pioneer Valley in MA, a collegiate region of artisan cafes, and the bakers here at Bear's Cup are far more talented at creating indulgent baked goods then any bakery in the Pioneer Valley. Yes, go here in the morning and just get some things. You'll be SO Glad you did. Every bite makes your soul sing. This is no ordinary bakery. They know what they're doing. This is artisan craftsmanship at its best. Also, the customer service was impressive. They are compassionate. A man near me had to wait a little longer for his breakfast sandwich because the lines were long, and they offered him a free pastry and thanked him for waiting. I accidentally spilled my matcha latte all over the sidewalk (I dropped it) and they remembered my name and no questions asked just gave me a free one. The cookies melt in your mouth. This is a destination bakery. Go, explore some goodies and enjoy! read more

Sigh. We in upstate have a joking phrase "perfect like New York (city)"...where of course the food,art and entertainment is just about the best in the world (which it is)....that being said I think oftentimes New Yorkers get carried away with their own brand of pride.... ...i have eaten there often, and as a foodie and cook have sought out the best food and restaurants around the country... ....this bakery is solidly exceptional in its baked goods...amazing pastries, great bagels ( unless you are French Canadian and have different ideas about how those go) ...are there equivalently exceptional bakeries in NYC, exclusive 5 star micro resorts and international locations???...of course!!!!! But give credit where credit is due...you are in the rural Adirondack's... ....finally as far as service goes...they have great service ...especially when you consider they are oftentimes waiting on people who feel entitled to be absolutely amazed by perfection everywhere they go read more

SOOOOOOOOO good. Scheming about how we can go back multiple times in our remaining time by the lake.

The food. The service. Did I mention the freaking food?!?? My boys will only eat chocolate croissants from Bear's Cup which is ironic considering that we live in the owner's hometown. We head there every year on our annual family trip to LKG. The first thing we do is grab a family box which gets devoured almost immediately. If you haven't tried it, you're missing out on an AMAZING experience read more

If you love to start your day with a beautiful smile, warm and friendly greeting , tasty hot coffee or cool beverage, a fresh gourmet pastry, perfectly baked bagel or professionally made breakfast sandwich.... Bear's Cup is where you will get it all! It's a MUST STOP! read more

Stay away! Waited for over 30 mins and for a dry food, Latte is one of the worst I've ever tried. Super rude staff

Everything on menu looks outstanding. We tried a few pastries and each one was better than the other.

BLT was delicious. We really liked the dill spread on the sandwich. We regretted that we only got 1 almond and 1 chocolate croissants because we could have easily eaten several in one sitting. Next time we'll get several different pastries just to have a taste of everything. The NYC sandwich was just ok, typical smoked salmon bagel sandwich l, nothing special. read more

I love this place but unfortunately I've been priced out. The last time I went a couple weekends ago I got a plain croissant and a bear claw. It came out to $17 and some change. My friends got a latte, an XL cold brew, two bagels, a breakfast sandwich, and a cinnamon roll and it was over $50 with tip. We live in NYC and even for us those prices are astronomical. Super disappointed because we are willing to come across the lake in the early morning for this place - the breakfasts are that good! But I can't justify the price anymore. read more

This is a must stop! I would drive all the way here just for this spot (but I guess you might as well visit the lake while you're here). We stopped in while passing by as they were close to closing time. I honestly wasn't expecting too much since again, they were closing soon but oh my wow, the coffee! The freshest, smoothest, most delicious cup of coffee!! This coming from "coffee snobs" who grind their own beans every morning. My husband and I got a cup to share and were fighting over it. Then there was the pastries and food. I will be dreaming about that scallion biscuit until I can get another one! It was moist, buttery perfection. Everything they have is baked fresh every single day and you can definitely tell. Everything we tried was amazing. The owner was so nice and so sweet to my kiddos as well (did I mention very kid friendly with a super cute kids menu too?). Thank you for this new gem of a place, we will be back!!!! read more

This place is hands down unreal. We are visiting the area from NJ and are HUGE bagel / breakfast sandwich snobs but I truly have never had a breakfast sandwich this delicious in my entire life. WOW. The BC BLT was unreal good and I legit missed it when I was done with it. So naturally I'm going back today to get another! Bears cup is truly one of a kind. Service was also amazing! Don't be intimidated if there is a long line because they move it and also pump out the food. Keep doing what you're doing! read more

Bear’s Cup - BC blt with an added egg - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bolton, New York

My girlfriend likes their coffee, but her only complaint is that it is expensive for coffee. Probably the more expensive choice over sunrise cafe just across the street. Good coffee, high price read more

Good coffee...great bagels...amazing pastries...priceless?--priceLOT $$$ This new place is right at the north end of town. It has a NYC vibe and the decor was definitely thought through, and matches the Adirondack flair with a clean cut execution. Everything you will get will be great read more

This little coffee spot is the perfect place to start your morning. We popped by for a quick coffee and ended up grabbing a couple croissants and a ciabatta loaf to go -- they were truly delicious. The croissants were super flaky and tasty, but the focaccia is something to rave about. We will definitely be grabbing a loaf for the road! read more

Everything was beyond delicious. The bagel was perfect and the croissant and bear claw were so flaky and tender. All this from a NYer who also grew up in France. And the cherry on top was the gentleman who took our order. The perfect blend of funny, sassy and kind. Glad he recognized we were the only people who mattered. read more

Hands down, THE BEST bagel and cream cheese I've ever had!! My latte was nice and strong. If there's a line in front--get in it. Well worth the wait!! read more

Cute walk up with delicious gluten free banana bread and gluten free breakfast wraps!

One of the best bagels sandwiches I have had and I'm from the NYC/North Jersey area where there is a bagel shop almost in every street corner. Very impressed and the lines move fast so don't skip if it's a long line. read more

Good coffee. My egg and cheese bagel was lackluster. Rude customer service (a young girl with dark hair was with 2 other people behind the billing counters). The attitude of this girl was horrendous, If the owner is reading this Please fire this girl. She doesn't deserve a job, I believe her name was Dani or something close to that. The toasted bagels were hard as rock FYI. Zero stars for customer service read more

Awesome lattes! Great food. Beautiful decor. Tiny tables, order at counter, seat yourself, first come first serve. Kid and toddler friendly and kids menu available. Only complaint is we ordered large lattes to-stay, but were told they'd have to be in to-go cups because they don't have mugs big enough for large drinks. Our food was also packed and wrapped in a to-go bag despite our telling them we'd like everything to stay. The extra paper was harder to manage on a tiny table and not as enjoyable to drink coffee out of a paper cup in my opinion but a very minor, knit-picky complaint considering how beautifully run and operated this place is. Big, clean beautiful bathrooms too. All food baked on sight. Lattes were so good we will have to stop by again before we leave the area! Would visit again and again. A must-try if you're in the Lake George/Bolton's Landing areas. read more

Easily the best spot for breakfast/lunch in Bolton Landing! Great coffee, huge selection of pastries and the sandwiches are some of the best I've ever had. Will for sure be taking home some BC rolls before I leave! read more

If you're staying at the sagamore or even if you aren't, make sure to eat breakfast here. Yummy bagels and coffee. Long like but worth it. I think you can preorder if you're order $100 or more or something. read more
