    The cardinal burger

    I'm so sad that I live pretty far from here but I will visit again literally just for there food!!! This BURGER is the best, tasting burger I've had in my entire life. Pricey but worth it hope to come soon for this deliciousness

    This is the advertised picture of the Gold Digger fries online. You get maybe 1/3 of this.

    As a Bishop resident I hate to give a local business a bad review, especially since their pizza night is so good, but the Cardinal Cafe lunch was just very disappointing. My wife and I ordered the Gold Digger fries to share (they were out of milkshakes which we were hoping to try). We were expecting a sizable portion based on the pictures on the website (see pics) and the $15 price tag, but we received a very small portion, similar in size to an order from In N Out which costs less than $2. They tasted good, but for $15 this was an unacceptably small amount of food. We will be back for more pizza nights and maybe breakfast but will skip lunch. I recommend Bishop Creek Lodge for more filling and fairly priced food just a few miles away on South Lake Road.

    One of the best breakfast burritos I've ever had

    I had the breakfast burrito and I can't stop thinking about it. I might have to drive 5 hours soon just to eat it again. The eggs were so fluffy and perfect. The bacon was incredible. The tortilla. So good. Definitely on my top 3 breakfast burritos I've ever eaten and I'm a breakfast burrito freak

    Late breakfast on a beautiful morning

    They have good landscape, food, free Wi-Fi, patio tables for pets. A perfect break time during fall color trip to Bishop. Will definitely come back.

    Outside seating.

    Went to lunch here today. Sat outside as it was a beautiful day. Dog friendly so we took our boxer. We both had the cardinal burger with cheese. Cooked to perfection medium rare as ordered. Great I would say 1/2 lb. Burger with great flavor. We got everything on them and had a side order of fries. Much better than burger barn in Bishop. Plus a beautiful setting.

    One of my favorite chocolate lattes ever came from here…read more It had a light mouthfeel and wasn't too sweet, a well-balanced latte that was neither bitter nor too sweet. Super aromatic and tasted even better since you can see them pulling the espresso shot. My friend's lavender latte was delicious. First floral note giving away to an excellent latte. They know their stuff here. We loved the staff here. Very friendly and helpful, I loved complimenting the baristas on their craft and passing along the cheerfulness from the cashier who was very welcoming. They were very methodical and consistent with each drink, it seems. The shop was cute, with ample parking. The patio was busy-ish with people flocking in and out to pick up their orders once their name was called. I liked the combination of rustic and modern decorations, making for AN EXCELLENT stop before heading in or out of Yosemite. This coffee is worth going out of the way for since you will be leaving very happy after pleasant interactions and a deliiiiiicious coffee. 10/10!

    I visited Cloud Rest Coffee and had a mixed experience. I tried the vanilla latte and cappuccino,…read moreand both were a bit disappointing for my taste. They were too sweet, and the coffee flavor felt very light -- almost lost behind the milk and syrup. If you enjoy sweeter, milder drinks, this place might work for you. But if you're looking for a stronger, more noticeable coffee taste, it may not be the best choice. Overall, it's a nice spot, but the coffee itself didn't really stand out to me.
