Just had a great first timer experience. The freshly baked bread aroma hit me the minute I stepped…read morein. I was greeted by a very friendly woman. We ordered the Muffaletta Sandwich, which was very tasty. We also got a croissant and oatmeal cookie. Both were giant, fresh and delicious. They do not serve espressos but their coffee is very good. They do have cream and a couple of different Torani syrups if you would like some flavoring. We will definitely make this a regular stop as we pass through Independence monthly on our way back and forth to Bridgeport. There is street parking, some tables inside and out and restrooms inside the restaurant behind the counter. I will update this review when we have their breads, pies and other sandwiches. In the mean time, do yourself a favor and stop in for a visit soon!

Our two sandwiches were beyond amazingly tasty and the yummiest fresh soft bread!…read more I had a Mt. Tom Turkey on amazing sour dough bread, with the perfect portion of deli turkey, sun dried tomatoes and avocado with a perfect smear of chipotle mayonnaise. My hubby had a roast beef sandwich on a crusty French roll. Perfect portion of deli roast beef, cheddar cheese, lettuce with a savory horseradish smear. Not to dry and not to sloppy, just Right!!!

We stopped here before hiking Big Pines and it was a great experience. Good coffee. I ordered the…read morecrunch wrap and it was delicious. We also ordered the bagel pill a parts. Fun. Great service. Everything baked in house in a tiny oven, per the owner. Please come and create your own adventure.

Stopped by one of the few places open. Cute, clean café and good for a quick stop…read more We tried their cinnamon roll, but it didn't taste as fresh and the texture was a bit dry, even after warming it up. The frosting was also quite runny. It was fine, but not something we'd go back for. Maybe next time we will try one of their drinks or other pastries

What a wonderful little bakery/cafe this is…read more First room is coffees of many different varieties and then windows full of baked goods and sweet bites. Second room is the cafe that makes the best turkey soup and sandwiches. The prices for the portion sizes were VERY reasonable. Soup and full sandwich for under $20.00! I made 3 meals out of it and boy were both delicious! I did not try the sweets or pastries and I feel I won't be able to stop. Their breads are all made in house and you can really tell how fresh and good they are. Hands down my go to any time I come to Mammoth Lakes. The staff is very warm, friendly and professional. If you're in Mammoth, make sure to stop by here for a bite, coffee, pastries or a sweet bites. You won't be sorry!

Ambiance and vibe is easy going and cool. 4.3 stars rounded up because we are on spring break. Thank you and have a positive day.

Such a good breakfast burrito! Loved the bacon bits…read more There was a bit of a long line and luckily we managed to find parking in another lot. They sell a lot of good stuff like matcha, orange juice, coffee beans, merch, they have a lot of tables to sit at and to enjoy food too! There were 11 of us!

Good donuts, good coffee, decent breakfast options. Not bad to start a day of skiing and hiking!…read more (Food took awhile but they get slammed by skiers in the winter who are headed to the mountain first thing.)

My brother and I were looking for a place where we could sit with an evening coffee and have some…read morereal conversations -- somewhere calm, open a little later, and not rushed. We were really glad to find Stellar Brews. I ordered a chai latte and it honestly may be the best I've ever had in my life -- perfectly spiced, not too sweet, and just really comforting. The service from Carlos was great, too. He wasn't overbearing -- just genuinely kind, generous, and attentive in a low-key way that made the space feel welcoming. If you're deciding between the big coffee chains and this place, skip the chains and come here. We'll definitely be back.

The coffee was good, the guy making the coffees was nice…read more The rest of the staff seemed stoned at work. The guy in the back offered to add red onion on my bagel and when came out he handed my sister and I two toasted bagels with red onion on them and a side of cream cheese in two cups on top of the bagels. He looked proud of himself like he went over the top by adding onion on it. As a chef, that was laughable to me. Why wouldn't you just add the cream cheese on it too? I definitely won't be going back to that coffee shop again. The food on top of it wasn't good either. The ready to go breakfast burrito was hard and tasted like nothing special. The salsas that they charge 50 cents each was so gross. I don't know how you can mess up salsa, maybe try opening an authentic Hispanic cookbook and do the culture some justice.

Wow what amazing restaurant! We went to the former place and loved it…read more Happy to find out all pasta and sauces are freshly made in-house,and HUGE pizza oven inside restaurant. We had the SALUMI red sauce pizza and the RIGATONI with arrabbiata sauce.For dessert we shared the salted carmel gelato with some type of donut.Everything was amazing! Fantastic service and fun vibe. Noisy but not bad at all.Our server said they are better than the former restaurant,so true! FYI the outside seating isn't open yet (early May) the glass little patios outside are only for bigger parties and believe it's $350 minimum?

Carb-loading at altitude, but make it Italian…read more When you're in Mammoth and your body is screaming for carbs after a day on the mountain (or just from walking to your car in ski boots), Vulcania delivers like a nonna who's been waiting all day to feed you. Tucked into the Village right next to Gomez's Mexican Restaurant (which is no slouch itself), this place pulls off that rare trick: it actually feels like a legit Italian escape...just with better snow outside. Let's start where all good decisions begin: pizza as an appetizer. Yes, you heard that right. Their authentic pizza oven isn't just for show--it's the real deal. Thin crust, blistered just enough, and gone in about 90 seconds at our table. No regrets. The tricolore salad is a solid opener--fresh, simple, and a nice way to pretend you're pacing yourself. You're not. Because then comes the main event: Voltaggi-O's. Imagine your childhood love affair with Chef Boyardee's Spaghetti-O's...then imagine it went to culinary school, studied abroad in Naples, and came back with confidence, depth, and a killer wine list. That's this dish. It's nostalgic, elevated, and borderline dangerous in how easy it is to keep eating. And honestly? The staff might be the real MVPs. Servers and bartenders here are five-star across the board--attentive without hovering, smiling like they actually enjoy being there, and full of spot-on recommendations (which, let's be honest, we happily followed). Bottom line: If you're in Mammoth and craving Italian that goes beyond the usual ski-town fare, Vulcania is the move. Come hungry, order the pizza "appetizer" (don't overthink it), and don't you dare skip the Voltaggi-O's. You'll leave full, happy... and already planning your next visit.

Located in Mammoth Mountain Inn, this was our go to spot to get a double espresso and a donut…read morebefore we hit the slopes. They serve Illy coffee and their donuts are delicious and soft. They also have small food menu with a few hot items and a fridge with food and drinks. They sell some Mammoth souvenirs and items you may have forgot to pack. The location is convenient and the service is quick.

I stopped in to pick up something for breakfast because I didn't want to go sit in the restaurant…read moreupstairs. There was a much bigger selection than I expected. There's an espresso bar so you can have your lattes, americanos, etc. I was expecting brewed coffee plus the usually milk and sweeteners so that was a nice surprise. There's also a good variety of pastries, fruit, as well as packaged foods such as oatmeal and pop tarts. I ended up getting a nonfat latte, a raspberry turnover, and a banana. It was under $10 for all of it, it seemed like a fair price for a shop in a mountain resort considering the coffee would be about $4 at your typical coffee shop. I definitely recommend stopping in if you want food to take back to your room or on the go.
