The inside is spacious with two different seating areas and a seating area outside. I got a vanilla latte and an everything bagel. The latte had a good flavor. The oat milk made it taste very creamy. The bagel was great. It was slightly crispy on the outside and soft with a slight chew on the inside. My puppy enjoyed the outside seating and being greeted and petted by the customers. Overall, I would return. I would like to try their lunch items.

Breakfast sandwiches are super bomb too :) There's lots of seating, including an upper room where you can chill out. Very clean, everything is fresh. Staff members are super friendly too! I don't recall his name, but the cashier with the blonde curly hair (and glasses I think), he was super nice and had great menu suggestions. Definitely recommend this place!

This is a small shop but worth the hassle to get a good cup of coffee and beans…read more Everyone who has helped me has been friendly. When it's not busy, they're happy to recommend a roast or even roast some beans for you. This is not Starbucks so the macchiato is a real one not the caramel concoction. They get very busy on the weekends. There's not a lot of seating and the parking lot is small so be prepared

What a great little coffee place. I was especially excited when I saw the baked goods. Im pretty…read moresure they are the same ones from Sister My Sister Bakery. I'll be back. Pros: * Espresso is delicious; I make protein coffee with it. * Nice staff * Coffee beans smell amazing. I didn't get any because I didn't see a price and forgot to ask when I go to the counter, oh well. * Poptart pastry is amazing! Its nice that they offer some pastries. Cons: * Ants. There were quite a bit on the counter with the creamers and honey. Extra: * They have a parking lot. Good amount of parking considering the location * Small inside. I got lucky and there were only 6 other ppl there. However, if your like me and get claustrophobic, I dont recommend it. Send someone else to order for you lol * There is a small porch seating area. Great for dogs.

I sincerely apologize because I cannot for the life of me remember which pies we bought, but they…read morewere so delicious that we ate them all in one sitting. I believe we got two pies that were two different berry mixes among other things. My husband wolfed both down because he ate one and loved it so much that he had to eat the other one. Mind you, my husband has grown up eating pies his whole life. His grandma used to make them from scratch all the time when she was still alive. So pies are a very sentimental and favorite food of his. I got the chicken pot pie, absolutely delicious. I'm obsessed with chicken pot pies and this one super hit the spot. Hubs is so very sad that we don't live close to the Pickles at all. We just happened to be in Big Bear on vacation and decided to stop by to grab some pies to take home. Our cousin was with us and got one slice to share with her parents and they ate it all. It wasn't enough. We all wish we had more. We'll definitely be back when we're back in town. Shoutout to Mr & Mrs. Pickles, your love and craft really shows in your food. Mr. Pickles was so nice too! He was taking the orders and tending the register. It's also such a cute little whimsical cottage, I love it!

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.

This was an absolutely delightful stop on our PCT hike! When we arrived the baristas showed us the…read morewonderful back patio where we could put our packs. They also told us about their offer for free hot coffee for PCT hikers. It was sunny, so we didn't go for it. What we got: Iced banana cream latte - so delicious! The fresh mashed banana and a pleasant sweetness made this drink my favorite. Iced vanilla latte with oat milk - excellent, solid choice Lavender matcha - this drink literally made my friend swoon with delight. So good! Iced americano - solid. We thoroughly enjoyed embodying Marty supreme in the back patio at the ping pong tables. Such a chill nice atmosphere!! I loved my visit here! Definitely recommend to future PCT hikers passing through. The staff were lovely!

I didn't 5 since the chai needed some more richness/darkness to it. It was pretty milky. Maybe increased steeping? Also, the chocolate salty balls were perfect!! I bought them afterwards. Wish I had more now.

We ordered two different poke bowls and wow. We were pleasantly surprised! Very fresh ingredients and they were delicious! We enjoyed these back at our campsite (Serrano Campgrounds). The customer service was excellent! Very welcoming and friendly. The vibe of this place was so cool. So much to look at! I saw an outdoor patio and read it was dog friendly but I can't confirm. Would love to venture back sometime and try some cocktails on the patio with our pooch. Highly recommend! For sure a gem in Big Bear!

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.

I love me some boba tea and when our family learned of An Ran Ju on our recent Big Bear visit, we…read morehad to pop in. The place may be unassuming, but we were met with the friendliest service (thanks Katie!) and a plethora of delicious tea choices! This place is not like your standard Americanized boba tea shop. They offer REAL teas, made from steeping and not relying on heavy artificial flavor powders. With that said, your drink, especially milk teas, will taste lighter than an Americanized boba tea. Honey is used primarily to sweeten the drinks as well. I absolutely appreciate this practice because I love tasting the actual tea flavor. I ordered the Pumpkin Harvest milk tea and it was DIVINE! My hubby ordered the Passion Fruit green tea and it was so good too! If you're wanting something sweet and more Americanized, we were told the smoothie drinks are made with flavor powders. Also, highly recommend their hot chocolate with marshmallows and whipped cream. Delicious!

However, you can tell that this is a community and local favorite and it's a mom and pop shop that's been in business for quite some time. When we went, there was a consistent stream of people coming in and out to get some sweet treats and it was hard to find seating outside, let alone inside. Though they have board games if you want to kill some time. The funny thing is that I haven't seen such an old school traditionally Chinese aesthetic business in quite awhile. It's a bit kitschy and vintage, reminds me of those businesses in non-Asian neighborhoods back when I was hermetically sealed in the mid west. Anyways. Service was super friendly and answered our questions and we were in and out quickly. We got the scoops of unicorn poop (ube), a coffee ice cream, and a caramel ice cream. They melted super quickly and were a bit icier than to my liking, so I'd rather just opt for 1 scoop of flavor instead of the greedy money saving tactics my bf attempted and didn't even eat that much of the ice cream. Smh. I also got a caramel rooibos milk tea half sweet and it was super watered down. I don't think I'd come again, but it was neat to try at at least once.
