But the true star of the show are the cinnamon rolls! My son who is a roll fiend calls them, "the best cinnamon rolls since Denmark". And he ate cinnamon rolls every day there so you know he loves them. I'll just say that they are almost as good as my sister in law's holiday rolls and that's high praise. They're really traditional American rolls with just the right amount of icing, warm and fresh. (Came out at 8am, but they open at 7am??). Get them.

I am obsessed with sweets but I'm picky. A good cinnamon roll or a slice of cake can cure *almost* anything, in my eyes. When they don't stand up to my expectations, I don't mean to be dramatic but the days ruined. Every single item i've tried at Sister My Sister Bake Shop, was a major hit. Cinnamon roll? perfect. Cookie? perfect. Cupcake? perfect. Brownies? perfect. Giant custom bear-head cake? drooooool. perfect. Cheesecake. gasp! & you guessed it: perfect. Lucy and her team over-deliver on everything: service, adorable and safe small town vibes, and delicious, only-on-the-mountain kind of treats. Big Bear Lake & City are lucky to have a shop like this magical slice of heaven.

Pros: * Poptart is delicious * Clean inside Cons: * Blueberry muffin was a bit dry. Im not sure if that texture is normal or if it had just been left out too long. We did show up closer to 4 or 5 pm. Extra: * Cashier was indifferent...not rude, but not friendly. * Small parking lot * When we came 3 years ago, my husband went alone and bought a ton of sweets to celebrate my Birthday. I only remember the poptart, so I think everything else was just okay. Good, but not memorable.

This small town is adorable and one thing that absolutely blew me away was The Sugar Chalet and the extremely friendly gentleman working the front desk last Friday when we stopped in. This small sweet shop had the best looking donuts I've seen in ages and I couldn't help but order some for breakfast. I picked up a few different types from a chocolate one with cookie dough on it, an oreo style donut, and two for my wife. On top of the donuts, I grabbed a salted chocolate chip cookie as well. As someone who's enjoyed and loved donuts from Los Angeles to Amsterdam and Paris to Boston, I can safely say The Sugar Chalet might just be my favourite donut shop in the entire world. These donuts were the absolute perfect consistency in almost every way. The dough was so light and fluffy while the toppings were absolutely delicious. Overall, The Sugar Chalet is a special place. 5 stars for the gentleman working, 5 stars for the donuts and cookie, and 5 stars for every other thing about this place. I will 100% be back in the future and I already can't wait.

The top and bottom layers were ginger-doodle with gingerbread frosting and the middle layer was chocolate with espresso frosting. The flavors were amazing and the cake fit our rustic Christmasy theme perfectly. We had a very small and intimate wedding in December 2024 to which Jerry and the Gingerbread House were amazing to work with and gave the best service.

We had waited in line outdoors for most of the time. It was quite cold and windy during the wait. One place I wish they had outdoor heaters . The house is decorated on the outside just like you would imagine a gingerbread house would be, cute, adorable and delicious looking. Once you walk into the house you will find some displays of familiar candies. Maybe something you may want to get the next time you are at your convenience or grocery store. Save room for the some of the beautiful and delightful dessert that are displayed behind the acrylic shield. And don't forget something warm to drink! The drink orders once made are handed out at the window on the side of the building. We ordered quite a bit, just wanting to try everything that looked and sounded delicious. My girls enjoyed the cinnamon rolls while the pretzel, and molasses cookie were my favorite. My girls agreed with me on the cookie as well. The grandkids enjoyed their cake pop. For hot drinks, we ordered hot chocolate and hot chai. For me, it was worth the wait. I would order more molasses cookie and an extra pretzel! The customer service was friendly despite the line of people that was coming through. Great job staff! I plan to stop by this house again the next time we come to Santa's Village.

Simply the best pies I've ever eaten. This kitschy little place has some norms/rules, not unlike a…read morefriendly version of the soup episode of Seinfeld. It's highly suggested to call to reserve your pie(s), which gives you until noon. Leave a message and Pickles or Mr. Pickles will call you back. The doors open at 10:30 to a line, a long line on weekends. They've made so many pies and when they're gone, they close. It's that simple. Now to the pies, the amazing pies. I don't like pie crust, but I love Pickles crust. I don't like fruit pies, but I love Pickles fruit pies, especially with berries. While you wait your turn, review the chalk board for the still available pies or slices. If you're a first timer, buy a different slice for everyone in your party and share, share, share. Now the best part. If you've lasted this long in this review, check if there are chicken pot pies still available. If so buy an extra, because you'll want another one the day after you eat the first. They're described as "one large serving" but we find one six inch pie is good for two servings. The other pot pies are good too, but the chicken are flown in from heaven. You're welcome.

Rarely will you find me asking for less vegetables but this sandwich is just a careless mess…read more Thank God the bread was good, otherwise this review would be a lot different but c'mon, just because I don't order meat doesn't mean my sandwich require the same attention to detail?! I'm aware that this is a more local spot and big bear in general isn't a very vegetarian-friendly place to travel but then why even offer this?!? I originally wasn't going to order anything-- I was just there to use the restroom and my boyfriend was going to order a turkey sandwich. But after hearing how many veggies were on this sandwich, it genuinely sounded good. At first look, I thought this was a salad. Don't get me wrong, I do appreciate any place I can eat this many veggies in one sitting but to the chef, shred the carrots, cook the squash and throw some onions on here!

At 9 am on weekdays they have a full assortment delicious, fresh baked pastries and the staff are hard at work preparing trays for later in the day. The servers are friendly and it's not too busy - lines of maybe 4 or 5 people at the most. There are two businesses sharing the same building: Village Bread on the right and Lucid Coffee on the left. You get in line and pay twice, once for drinks and again for pastries. It's great to support local, independent businesses and hopefully the arrangement is working out well for both of them. There are small tables with stools to sit on around the side of the counter on the way to the gender-neutral restroom at the back of the shop. The tables are a bit small but it leaves a wide aisle and clearly communicates that the building is accessible for folks who use wheelchairs. The hum of the oven fans creates white noise in the background and there is music playing but not distractingly loud. I find it easy to get work done here. There is free wifi, ask at the counter for the QR code or password.

She found this place during her Girl Scouts camping trip when they were missing bagels. The cashier was very kinda and helpful with her order.

Luckily after an hour, they called back and found her lid next to the door water dispenser. Very thankful for their diligence and great customer service. Cute little shop and will definitely be back if we are in Big Bear again! As for the bagels, they were really fresh and the scouts enjoyed them thoroughly!
