    Walking around downtown Los Gatos, I stumbled upon Great Bear Coffee and decided to check them out. It is a nice, clean, spacious cafe. They have inside and outdoor seating. The customer service is so outgoing and friendly! I ordered their Famous Triple C drink! What is that? *Chocolate Coffee Cream: A perfect blend of Coffee, Ghirardelli Chocolate Vanilla Ice cream, topped with real whipped cream (like a milkshake) (4/5). Wow, this was thick, creamy, decadent, Chocolate-y heaven. I am so.glad I found this place. Support your local business.

    Friendly service, cute atmosphere, and delicious coffee. Loved the music and the overall vibe.

    A cute coffee shop right in the middle of downtown Los Gatos. They have a lot of seasonal drinks which is so fun- every time I go I order a different one to stay festive. Good atmosphere and working environment. They have a lot of seating so there are plenty of people sitting on their laptops or just hanging out. It's only a coffee shop, not a bakery, so they don't have a huge variety of baked goods. Still, one of my favorite coffee shops in the area!

    Milkshake - Chocolate Coffee Cream (CCC)

    Tried the Chocolate Coffee Cream or as they like to call it CCC, and it was delicious. It is more like a milkshake than a coffee drink, so if you drink it like that, it's wonderful. The staff was nice and friendly. Ambiance is nice as well.

    Friendly service. I was in Los Gatos today and made a pit stop and discovered they sell Icing on the Cake banana cake slices (and if you know, this is the best bakery in the town!). Since the bakery wasn't open on Sunday, I felt it was meant to be so I grabbed a slice to go. I had an iced latte and they made it good, not too sweet.

    Somehow, I didn't know this place existed. Was pleasantly surprised - this place is huge inside. They have all your standard coffee drinks and a HUGE selection of Monin syrups (including sugar free options). Friendly staff although they messed up our order, but it wasn't a huge deal. Will be back to try more.

    I live this place I always visit here when I'm in Los Gatos. There frozen hoy chocolate is a definite must try is you have a sweet tooth! And the whipped cream here is home made and AMAZING! The store is really cozy and there's nice indoor/outdoor seating. The workers are also always nice.

    A lively cafe in downtown Los Gatos that still uses ceramic mugs and has outdoor seating! They also have fast service. But unfortunately I don't like over-aerated milk which was a let down.

    This was a nice place to get coffee and hang out on the beautiful afternoon. People watching the snacks are good. Such as pies and cakes.

    Are you reopen for indoor dining yet?

    At this time, the Great Bear is not offering indoor dining. We are looking forward to opening up to indoor seating once the county remains firmly in the Red Tier and then progresses to the Orange Tier at least (when we would be allowed 50% seating… Read more

I tried a good variety of the menu, Shrimp & Grits, Pulled Pork Benedict, Chicken & Waffles, Banana Nutella Churro Waffle, and Cornbread and Coffee cake. I've had grits a few times in the past and have never really liked them before, that was until these! The Shrimp & Grits was actually a highlight! The shrimp were cooked perfectly and there was a good portion of them. Really flavorful dish. Other favorite was the Pulled Pork Benedict and Chicken & Waffles. Great portions and flavor on each. The Banana Nutella Churro Waffle was a little decadent and sweet for me, but I would've loved that dish when I was younger, and probably could've eaten the whole thing too. Service was friendly and food didn't take long to come out. Love that they have indoor and outdoor seating, we opted for inside this time, but would definitely pick outside on a nice day!

Food, drinks and staff have always been solid and consistently great but my evening tonight topped it all. After my friend left, I ordered food to go and a drink, went to the bathroom. The bartender was so fast.. but noticed I was alone so she kinda hid my drink until I got back. Then a little later I got sad because of a recent loss of a loved one. I was quiet, calm but this amazing woman noticed and checked on me. ‍ if I didn't love this place enough already, my stars tonight touched my heart. Thank you

    We decided we wanted Mexican food, so I was poking around yelp when I came across this restaurant…read more The menu looked great, and then I went to their website and saw that this was named after a pet chihuahua, who honesty looks grumpy in the logo, so I was sold. I'm down for a place that named their restaurant after a dog. I appreciated that the chip basket wasn't huge - therefore we didn't over eat before our meal came. I ordered iced tea, and unfortunately, it was from the fountain, not fresh brewed, so I asked for a soda instead. This is one of the reasons I docked them 1 star. Salsa was decent, but the chips were a mix of stale and not stale. I am not sure how that happened, but I think they could improve their chips greatly - especially if they are mixing older ones with newer ones. I prefer light crispy thin chips and these were thicker. Food was really good - I had a fish taco and a shrimp taco with rice. My partner had shrimp fajitas. The fajita portion was incredibly generous and my tacos were great. If I came back, I would hold the sauce, because I don't like creamy sauce slathered on my tacos. The rice was the highlight of the meal - it was perfection. The interior of this place is fresh, modern and clean - not something you get very often in a sit-down Mexican restaurant, so I was a huge fan. Service was attentive, even though we were at an odd time, well after lunch but before dinner.
