I can't say enough good things about LuluBelle's! This was hands-down one of the absolute…read morehighlights of our trip. My wife and I ordered two vanilla lattes, the chicken and waffles, and a sausage breakfast burrito. Everything was cooked perfectly and flavorful, absolutely zero notes. The coffee is fantastic, the breakfast was incredible, and the staff was friendly and efficient, keeping the service moving quickly even when they were busy. We ended up coming back the next two days as well. We loved it so much that we came back one evening to try their pizza, and it didn't disappoint either. If you are in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by. Excellent food, great coffee, and wonderful service!

Ok coffee, decent folks, but overall really disappointing. Issues I saw:…read more The price! We had accumulated a few gift cards over time so we decided to use them to stop by. We bought 2 coffees (a 12 oz drip coffee with half and half and a 16 oz iced latte). We also got 2 bagel breakfast sandwiches. Our total was $39!!!!! Even my tiny drip coffee cost significantly more than a Starbucks equivalent! The Quality I truly hate to say it because I want local businesses to be successful, but everything was low quality. My drip coffee was lukewarm when I got it, my wife said she prefers iced coffee from del taco compared to the one she had here. But the really disappointing thing was the sandwiches. First, they came out heaped with lettuce (on a breakfast sandwich???) I've never seen that before, and we didn't ask for it. After we picked the lettuce off of the sandwiches they were very small (especially for the price!!) I managed to eat about 2 bites of mine before I couldn't stomach it anymore. It was just bad. The sausage patty tasted freezer burned and was extremely dry and the egg white was undercooked. I love an over easy egg, but this was not that. This egg was not cooked enough to be served. My wife made it about 1 bite further than I did, then she had to call it quits. All in all, we paid $40 to throw away our sandwiches and drink aggressively mediocre coffee. What really sucks is that I want to support local businesses! I would love to keep going to a small local shop. But when they rob us blind and serve food like that, I can't justify it.

They can get pricey for a small piece of chocolate, but anything that makes my kids happy. We enjoyed the free samples at the counter, but service could use some improvement. It smelled like you were in a chocolate factory. Everything looked so delicately scrumptious. You can't go wrong with chocolates. They also offered ice creams for reasonable prices. Good quick spot if you are craving for some sweets!

It's very hard to find any issues with eating here. It's very convenient if you are staying onsite…read moreand it's easy to get a table (even if you don't have reservations for dinner). Just show up before 7:45 pm (last call for seating). The food is very freshly made and is pretty good for a buffet. The kitchen staff will accommodate you if you have any dietary restrictions. Beverages and desserts are included in the price. And the staff is very attentive and friendly. It's so nice to have a low stress dining option onsite. Plus, there is a bar and tavern in the back if you want something smaller. Tip for dinner: save room for dessert. It's a small selection, but hits the spot for post dinner treat. Tip for breakfast: don't wait until the end of the dining time to get what you want from the buffet, the staff starts clearing the buffet items about 15-20 minutes before last seating and they won't refill some items.

Two words to describe Rippin' Bowl's poke: savory & fresh. While vacationing up in Lake Arrowhead,…read moreI had the opportunity to try out their Blazer Bowl, which is a poke bowl filled with white rice, cucumbers, seaweed salad, marinated ahi tuna with Chronic sauce, pickled ginger, spicy mayo, and chili oil. If you're a fan of spicy food looking for a slight kick, I recommend trying out their Blazer Bowl. Plus, something about fresh poke being served high up in the mountains makes it seem even more delicious and refreshing.

TL;DR: I guesssss it's poke and I guessssss it's acai...but I KNOW it wasn't fresh and wasn't good…read more Service was nice and fast but not worth the quality of food Ordered: - Smoke bowl (1/5): Tuna had no flavor, frozen texture, and the rice was not cooked right - wet and clumpy in some areas, hard in others. Even the cucumber tasted weird - The Hippy Acai bowl (2/5): if I had to guess, it's a single pack of Sambazon with some fruits and PB drizzled on top. Not exactly bad but nothing special If you're in a bind for food, sure. Otherwise, go hang out at the train museum next door and save yourself the disappointment

The name of the game for this place is consistency. Lake Arrowhead brewery is known for their…read morerelaxed atmosphere and consistently excellent choices in both beer and seltzer.

If you're an ALA member, it's at the other end of the parking lot from Brunt Mill Beach. We just walked over when we needed a refreshment. You can order beers at the main counter or there's a few taps out back. I guess I get spoiled in San Diego, but they didn't have an IPA on tap. I got the xpa and it had good flavor. My mom said their gold award winning blond was underwhelming. My kids were excited about the plethora of games to borrow, and the seating is spaced out enough, it's very family and dog friendly. The afternoon we were there, there was a pop-up smash burger restaurant. My son is always hungry and said the Sam's burger was good.

TL;DR: be prepared for a wait. great service and probably the best breakfast in town?…read more Came on a Thursday morning and were surprised to see a wait. Put our name down and had to wait ~30min which was fine since we just window-shopped the nearby shops Ordered: - Corned beef hash (4.5/5): delicious flavor but wish there was a bigger portion of corned beef especially when compared to the hash brown. tip: ask for a hard fry to get extra texture - short stack pancakes (3/5): pancake texture was alright but not particularly special. Being covered in whipped cream doesn't help. Decent value though if you're fueling up Would definitely come back if we're back in town Cheers, Villager Coffee!

However our muffins never got delivered. They gave us the bill & I asked about the muffins again, she totally forgot and they were on the microwave. I would pass on the pumpkin muffins.

Really disappointing experience, especially because we called ahead specifically to avoid this…read moreexact situation. We had a party of 10, 4 adults and 6 kids. Their website specifically says they offer reservations for parties of 10 or more, based on availability. I called about 30 to 45 minutes before arriving and asked if they could accommodate our group. The gentleman I spoke with told me yes, to come in and check in when we arrived, and that he would start getting a table ready for us. When we got there, apparently nothing had been communicated to the hostess. What made it worse was that the same guy then denied ever telling me on the phone that he would get a table ready. If they couldn't accommodate us, that would have been completely fine. Just tell me that when I call and we'll go somewhere else. Instead, we loaded up six kids, drove over based on what we were told, and then were basically turned away. We asked for the manager hoping they could at least help figure something out, but unfortunately the manager wasn't helpful either and offered no real resolution. Mistakes and miscommunications happen. What bothered me was denying what was said instead of simply owning the mistake and trying to make it right. We would have happily gone somewhere else from the beginning had they just been upfront with us. Very poor communication and customer service.
