A few years ago I used to live in Hawaii and a young man named Chino told me that the best donuts…read morein the world were in Bishop California. Now that's hard to imagine because, well, it's Bishop California. This is the kind of place you're only in when driving up to mammoth. Yesterday I had the privilege of stopping by Hings and I got a matcha mochi donut and a regular glazed donut. Oh boy oh boy I was loving it. I was jumping up and down in this fine establishment. I almost kissed the lady behind the counter the nuts were so good. 10/10 would recommend.

Awesome donuts! I highly recommend stopping here if you are making your way in or out of bishop.read more

This is true old fashioned ice cream made with real ingredients. You can taste how real the ingredients are in every bite as the flavors dance together on your tongue. We spoke with the gentleman that owns the shop. He spoke to us about where he gets the cream, and some of the ingredients. They really make sure they use good products. You won't find emulsifiers, and guar gum here! The care and attention to making a superior product like this is hard to find. I shared my need for clean food, and my appreciation for what he and his wife create with the gentleman. Truly an Art! This is a must try if you happen to be in this little town passing through.

The location was clean and tidy and the staff were reasonably friendly so that's why it wasn't a 1 star but really that's the only good in this experience. I've had the misfortune of encountering some unpleasant locals from Lone Pine on recent trips, bitter about tourists (who literally provide them with their income and business potential), and after trying most of the restaurants in town, I would be happy to see all of them fail. It's the same business model across the board - mediocre to straight up bad food, crazily overpriced, and zero attempt at service with a smile because if you're there and you're eating and you're not from there, then you're captive and they can deliver whatever they want which is usually minimal effort. The BBQ was $70. For two people. It consisted of two to-go boxes, one with brisket, a baked potato, and some Mac n cheese, the other with brisket & pulled pork, a baked potato & the saltiest baked beans I've ever tasted, two pieces of soggy cornbread, some spicy bbq sauce, butter packets and utensils. The brisket was all fat. The pulled pork had no flavor. The beans tasted like salt, and the bread was soggy. For $70. No drinks, no dessert. We had actually come to Lone Pine this time with a cooler and our own food with zero intention of buying food from the many awful restaurants in town, but after a long hike decided to try the barbecue. What a mistake. I can't wait for private equity to move in and turn Main Street into a strip mall of chain restaurants and hotels. At least then, the food might be worth the money.

While it took a few extra minutes that I'm used to, it was worth it. They also have food options if you're looking to grab a bite, although the kitchen closes earlier than the café. For something quick, they have grab-and-go options like overnight oats and yogurt. I didn't try either this time, but they looked really good! Definitely a spot I'd come back to.

The consistency and flavor were excellent. There were a good selection of toppings including a bunch of different fruits. The yogurt was very good. The service was friendly enough but we were there for self serve so I cannot comment. The price felt a bit steep, ~$10 per yogurt. May be inflation or I am out of the froyo game too long. Overall, great frozen yogurt in a cool little place.
