This place was just what we needed, they have fresh fruits, cheeses, snacks medicine and spirits of all sorts. Everything was clean and well organized. The cashier was very efficient and friendly. We were able to get a bottle of wine, cheese and crackers to enjoy on the patio and listen to music. Enter freely they've been approved read more

Busy Beez' General Store - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Mammoth Lakes, California

A good stop for all your general needs while in Mammoth Village. Plenty of options from basics to unique, specialty products. The space is clean and the service is nice. It is a little pricier than other stores in town, but it is in the village heart on the mountain so that can be expected. read more

The general store actually has everything you will need, grocery, quick bite, candy, snack, bottles and everything. Just the price is at pretty high side. But if you are in the area, i guess you don't have much choice here. My daughter got in and get a bottle of Evian water cost around 5 dollars! read more

Says it opens at 9am on line, it's been closed every time I've walked over at 9:30.. tried calling to get hours and the answering machine just plays on loop to leave a message but doesn't allow you to leave a message. Maybe update hours? read more

Love they carry Nancy Silverton's gelato Nancy's Fancy it's amazing! I'm so thankful for this store through the years! read more

Busy Beez' General Store - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Mammoth Lakes, California

My ID was having trouble with their scanner when I was trying to buy some beer and they suspected it was fake and kept it. They wouldn't return it and when I tried to get authorities involved, they returned it but said I was unable to purchase anything even if the cops proved my id was real. Absolutely ridiculous. Horrible experience. read more

The merchandise was plentiful and store seemed to be fairly clean. The staff was unfriendly and seem bothered if you ask them a question. When we went to purchase our items, I almost stopped midway because the clerk was so rude. I think this place would be okay if it weren't for the staff. read more

Basically designed to get your money if you're stuck in the area. Was too lazy to drive further off, so I ended up get screwed over a bit in the prices. You're basically paying for the convenience of shopping here. The layout is actually pretty nice and they do have a decent selection, but again prices are a bit high. Only shop for the essentials and get everything else somewhere else. read more

just left this store, I'm 22, the cashier scanned my ID twice, then went back and fourth with me claiming my ID wasn't real. Had photos of my passport to prove it, and also all of my personal information.... she also mentioned she was going to "give me it back" but if she would of taken it i would have called the police just to prove that it's real... lmao. according to other reviews, she does this more than once, maybe the store should consider updating their ID checking machine! read more

I'm pregnant and asked my husband to get us some bottles of water because we just got here and were super dehydrated. He googled the hours of the closest place within walking distance which happens to be this place and "open until 8:30 pm." He got there a little before 8 pm and they said "we don't feel well we are closing early" and they slammed the door in his face and gave him the finger. What kind of place does this? Also, how has this business stayed open this long with all of these terrible reviews? read more

Cute little store with higher prices but good selection for the village. The nicest and friendliest people working. Just a fun "grocery store" to visit for quick items. read more

Horrible customer service, and no selection. Very rude people! 1st time in mammoth will not be visiting busy Beez' Should be called Lazy rude B's read more

Way overpriced, not much inventory, and worst of all, extremely rude cashier. Don't come here.

This business wasn't open when they stated they were. The inventory was weak and the store is extremely expensive

The register lady should be either fired, or investigated. Trying to steal our IDs saying we're "under age" and is fake. Its literally real. I see a couple of people in the reviews have the same experience.. I'm guessing it's an on going issue. Next time when she's trying to keep your REAL ID, call the cops. read more

Went two nights in a row and said they were open on their yelp and on maps. They lock up over an hour early with over 20 potential customers wanting to purchase ice cream. Hire adults and stop hiring children who don't know how to run a business. read more

This is a convenient general store for travelers staying at the nearby hotel. I could not imagine many locals come here given there's a Von's right down the street at the Minaret Village Shopping Center. In any case, people still come here as I did to pick up a few items before heading back to the hotel. I picked up a small carton of chocolate milk, some candy for the road the next day, and a banana for a late night snack if need be. The M&M's and Skittles were $1.50 each which I felt was reasonable, I can't remember what the banana cost, just that I would of preferred them a little greener, and the Chocolate milk was $1 and some change. They do carry a handful of essential items that one would need if they were staying nearby and their hotel room offered a Kitchenette. Most items were on the pricey side but that was to be expected. Customer service was alright. It was later in the evening, and I could tell the two young ladies working the late shift could not wait to leave. read more

This is a Great General Store steps from the Restaurants, Village Shops and Our Condo! YES It Is Convenient, YES They Have About Whatever You Need ~and~ YES It Is Expensive! However... If you realize you ran out of something you need to complete your dinner, do you really care if it cost a few more bucks? : ) CONCLUSION: If you need something fast and you don't want to drive to get it... Go to Buzy Beez'! read more

Don't try to call the store because they won't answer the phone. They told me their number does not work. Vegetables are always sold out, the pasta sauce is $17 for one jar! Extremely overpriced. I stopped by the store all through the day and 90% of the time they were closed. They will close the doors when they feel like it even though it says it's open till 830. read more

Come on, this place is adorable. From the counter lady to the candy stand! They have quite the wine selection, apparently people are looking to booze it up in Mammoth. They have a little bit of everything you might need. We wanted cigars and yep they had some! The check-out lady was a doll too. Even had a cutter for us to use. Be sure to look around the store at all the cute decor and details that went into it. read more

People are just so rude these days. There was a young girl working and she couldn't be bothered because she was too busy on her phone. I wanted to purchase a bowl but it didn't have a price tag so she wouldn't sell it. I asked her a few more questions and she just couldn't pull herself away from her phone to answer me. I guess they aren't in business to make sales. I watched as at least 3 people left because she was too busy on her phone to help them. What a joke! read more

If you want an expensive liquor store this might be your place. I wanted some salad and frozen food we could heat up for dinner in our room. The produce section was completely empty. The freezer section was 30% full and all the entrées had meat. I did score the last package of frozen spinach. The refrigerator section was out of juice and I was happy to get some Lactaid milk, but got back to my room and found out it was past the sell date. I passed by 12 ounces of sliced Sonoma cheese for $16. Bought the last guacamole but it was flavorless. Did get two cans of lentil vegetable soup. $44. I know it's slow season, but this was ridiculous. Next time I'll drive to a real grocery store. read more

This was a cute general store, but everything is painfully over priced and the customer service is horrible. If you need anything I would recommend going to the local market or drug store nearby instead. I stopped in to get some Jelly Bellies and other candies. Two bags that were about a quarter full cost me $13! When you check out, the cashier doesn't make eye contact to greet you, doesn't thank you or apologize when they don't ring up all of your items together. I would pass on a return visit. read more

Busy Beez' General Store - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Mammoth Lakes, California

The lady working the register was absolutely horrible. My boyfriend went in to buy a few beers, and she denied him. He is 22 years old and he even showed her a photo of his passport to prove it was real. She threatened to call the cops, and he asked if she did so they could prove his id was real... Absolutely ridiculous. read more

The one star is for their customer service. The man at the register this morning was beyond rude, and yelled at me telling me he didn't care what I said. I was paying with a VISA gift card and the machine required me a password which I tried to explain to the attendant, however he got very frustrated and spoke to me in a very demeaning and rude way. They rather lose the business, than work with the client. Someone brought the cashier food, so he was probably in a hurry to go eat his meal rather than doing his job. They are the only general store in the village, therefore they should provide better customer service. Very upsetting and not the way I planned to start my morning. read more

Love this shop. Yes, some items are pricey but the location is conveniently located and right at the base of The Village. Love the unique gifts!! Owner is very friendly and so creative. We enjoy stopping here everything we are at the Village. read more

Walked in here out of curiosity and didn't buy anything. The prices are a joke, generally double of what you'd pay somewhere else. The reason for the review is the green mold on the packaged rolls in the bread section. I'd stay away from here. read more

Super cute store with such a great atmosphere! You are able to find basically everything you're looking for from food to souvenirs to alcohol. My aunt & I took a while in the store & kept adding things to buy after checkout & the staff were very patient with us which made us feel welcome read more

Super helpful staff has basic groceries and some local attire would recommend if need last minute items

If you're living in town and don't want to drive to the local Vons, Buddy Beez's General Store has everything you would probably need. Alcohol, candy, ice cream, a small collection of vegetables & groceries, and also any toiletries you may have forgotten to forget, it's a one stop shop with okay prices. read more

Cutest little store.... able to find the basics. Prices are high, but not surprised due to location.

I really liked this store! I was a bit hesitant due to some of the other reviews but I needed a few supplies and snacks for our condo and wanted to walk to get them. They had a really great selection for a small place. I'm gluten free and they even had plenty of options for that. I bought a big bag of chips, Lara bars, ice cream, first aid supplies, and a box of hot cocoa and my total was $23, which I thought was reasonable, especially given the convenience. The cashier was friendly too. read more

The Busy Beez General Store staff are more than happy to sell visitors overpriced items, but when asked for assistance they were all absolutely the rudest people I've met in Mammoth Lakes. With their poor level of customer service, it won't be long til they're under new management or until the owner identifies the three people working this morning (02/032017@10:00 am) and fires them. After a week in Mammoth and meeting some of the most amazing Mammoth Village shop owners, I was shocked that such rude, and downright mean people would work in such a niche little store. Not only will me and my wife never buy another item at Busy Beez, but we will tell any of our family or friends to actively avoid that shop. Avoid this shop. There are better places to shop in Mammoth Village and better staff to help with any of your needs. read more

Horrible rude people work at this place. We bought a small can of coffee for 8.79 and then after sharing what we spent the friends we were with said we will give you some coffee to use. We only needed one serving for a coffee pot the next morning. So we wanted to return it. Less than 10 minutes after we bought. The older lady threw her hands up and said rudely that the manager was not there so we could not return it. Everything in this store is so overpriced that I wonder if they are price gouging? It is a tourist spot for sure but folgers coffee in that size should not be double the normal price. I mean I will pay a little higher because the store is closer to home but double? Almost like price gouging. Never again will I go there and I will tell all my friends that they should not go there just because they are just rude and mean to customers. read more

Would leave zero stars if possible. We found what we were looking for, price a little high, but understandable for a small tourist town. Had a good selection of grocery items, liquor and personal care amenities. But upon checking out we were overcharged and when this was politely pointed out the owner started a yelling match that included racist language, berating us as customers as well as his own employees for mislabeling product. We were then asked to leave with yelling and rude gestures. Regret giving this store my business. read more

I would also give this place 0 Stars if I could. It is incredibly overpriced the selection is lousy. The workers are rude. And when we try to buy something at the end of an evening on their own website it said 10 p.m. closing time we arrived at 9:01 and the gentleman said we're already closed. And he was rude it was one minute after 9 and I wanted to buy one stupid thing of fruit! And sure enough on their own website it says 10 p.m. closing but when you link two closing hours from Yelp it says 9 p.m. anyway location location cuz it sucks this place don't go unless you have to. Go to Vons read more

What a joke of a rip off store. Avoid this place. Half of the items I looked at were expired. Very overpriced on everything I looked at as well and very rude lady who is the manager or owner. read more

Cutest little shop! A bit pricey, but that's what you would expect in a ski village. Paid what I normally pay at Whole Foods. This place has everything you could need for snacking and cooking. A great option, especially in Mammoth where there aren't many food options. read more

It's right in the Village, and they have a little bit of everything, just like a good general store. They ain't cheap, but if the alternative is spending 3x as long driving to Vons or CVS or wherever... I'll gladly pay a few bucks more and come here! And mmmmm the candy selection is nice, even better than the beer selection! read more

Store clerk not wearing his mask properly (i.e. nose not covered); after asking kindly if he could please wear the mask properly he took off the entire mask and asked me to not shop here if I don't like how he "wears" his mask read more
