Shannon was very helpful with my order when it came to wait time and such. It was a long wait but they were shortstaffed and were running on a small crew. Please throw her some accommodations her way. read more

The iced coffee was simple but it got the job done. It wasn't sweetened but it was really yummy. The cashier was really nice and kind, she came to me and gave the drink to me. read more

Hungry Bear Cafe - Iced Latte - Cafes Near Me - Groveland, California

Came to this location 30 years ago (probably different business) and stopped by for a family dinner around 6pm on Saturday. No staff visible and just a kiosk. Ordered the food and it was $80 for a family of 4. Good portions or fries and burgers are double patty. $3.50 for a bottled soda is crazy. All the condiments were empty and behind the counter looked messy. The boy working was very nice, but small operation and no management. It has SOOOOO much potential but there is no pride in ownership or management. Saturday dinner with good amount of customers, but no management or owner to keep place on track. read more

Hungry Bear Cafe - Behind the counter - Cafes Near Me - Groveland, California

Came here for breakfast with my family during a trip to Yosemite. Just not a great experience all around. We walked in and there was no one to greet us. After a few minutes, an employee came from the back and directed us toward a kiosk where we could place our order. We placed our order then found some seats. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a little after sunrise so there was a pretty bad glare. We went to lower a couple of the shades so that we could see each other. One of the employees happened to be walking through the dining room and raised the sun shade, blinding us. We asked if they could leave it down, but the employee said that they were supposed to leave them up.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When our food finally arrived, all of the meals were in to go containers even though we selected the dine in option on the kiosk. I also ordered a banana cream pie latte, but I wasn't told they couldn't make it until after the food arrived. I decided to go with the smores latte instead. It was so sweet, I did not enjoy it at all. The food itself was pretty decent, but there really was no service other than them bringing out our food and drinks. My brother ordered a drip coffee and asked for a refill. The employee told him that it was self serve and that he could get a refill in the front. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I wouldn't mind this place for takeout, but the dining room experience was one of the worst I've had.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Staff was very nice and efficient even while they were low staffed. Food was very good and they have arguably the best milkshake out there.

This is my go to place for breakfast. They're very welcoming accommodating and they make you feel like you're at home. Lesli greeted me the moment we walked in the door with a smile on her face.

Hungry Bear Cafe - strawberry milkshake - Cafes Near Me - Groveland, California

Everything we ordered was delicious especially the hamburger bun!!! I highly recommend this little restaurant.

Super sweet staff. Good food, huge portions. It was a little pricey for a burger, but you expect that in a tourist town. I had a vegetarian mushroom burger with cheddar instead of Swiss and sweet potato fries all very delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience is pretty basic.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Great friendly service! We're staying at the RV park and was really hungry. Saw that this place was only 2 miles away. I had the grill cheese and my husband had the chicken strip. They were both delicious! read more

Stopped by for a coffee. The woman working today, Cheryl, was really sweet! She made sure I got what I needed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The cafe was cute as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Awesome place! It was little bit busy but Dana let us know it would be longer then normal. It was definitely worth the wait! I got a milkshake and my husband got a blended coffee. Both were perfect! We also got some burgers that hit the spot! Xavier was our cook and he was super helpful letting us know about the local attractions! We'll definitely come in again! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Absolutely loved the decorations and sweet attitude from the workers![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This is a great eatery in Groveland close to the supermarket. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have indoor and outdoor seating and offer a huge variety of coffee, sweets and food items.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I only wish they served breakfast all day! I had the veggie burger with sweet potato fries and the fries were easily the best part. They were some of the best I've ever had! The burger patty was ok, but together with the toppings it was good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute ambiance and very clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The service from Dana was great! She was very helpful and explained the different menu options. We had shakes, vanilla ice cream and a hot toffee coffee. They were all delicious! Give them a try! Next time will give their food a try. read more

terrible customer services i tried to ask a worker something they just turned around and left to the kitchen like they didn't hear me supposed to be a brunch place with every condiments except ranch like what don't even get me on the prices either total rip off i ordered a grilled chicken sandwich and the chicken is damn near raw but i already know they're making bank since they're 30 minutes from yosemite i give this place a 1 star review just for trying.....BULLSHIT read more

Counter person was friendly and helpful. But we waited 20-25 min for our burgers. When it came, the fries were hot, crisp and good. Veggie mushroom burger was good. But the western burger was deemed mediocre, and was tepid rather than hot. All food served in plastic takeout containers which seemed sturdy enough for reuse. All trash went in one bin, including recyclables. read more

We waited over 55 minutes for 2 sandwiches (one of them being a grilled cheese). Checked in and the girl upfront said "7 more minutes" after it had already been 40 minutes. After that still waited another 15 minutes for them to be ready. We asked upfront if there was any compensation for us waiting almost an hour for our food and she said unfortunately no, there was nothing they can do about it.. Unfortunate experience, do not recommend. read more

Staying with family in the area and figured we give them a shot. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute interior, convenient location convenient considering it's a really small town/area. Right next to the local grocery store.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had French toast and the ultimate omlette. Omlette was really big, very filling and I cleared my plate. Normally I'd have shared a photo but no one wants to see an empty plate photo. My daughter really enjoyed the French toast. It comes with a cup of fruit that looked to be fresh cut and 2 sausage as well. For drinks we had a drip coffee, and a chai tea. The tea was ready before I had finished added cream and sugar to the coffee. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Indoor seating is comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It is a tad strange to order and then seat yourself and then pick up your food when the buzzer they give you goes off, but it is a real small place. Quirks are normal in remote locations. The girl who took our order was super polite and gave us the rundown on the setup of the place. Overall good experience and good food. read more

Thanks for a great lunch on May 3!!! read more

I don't write negative reviews despite having fairly bad experiences but this restaurant takes the cake. There were hardly any people and we were waiting for our food for an hour and a half. When we asked the waitress (younger girl with black hair and glasses) why it was taking so long, she shrugged us off and said she had no control of the kitchen and walked off. She could have at least given us an update on how long it was going to take . Terrible service. Never coming back. read more

Alison was very nice! Her costumer service is beyond impeccable and the food is is very excellent! Stop by before you hid in!

The photo of my supposedly scrambled eggs says it all. We visited on a Wednesday morning. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Were greeted by the stench of burning marijuana.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Coffee canisters were empty - found out after we paid for fresh coffee. Took 10 minutes to get coffee. Wife ordered a breakfast sandwich on sourdough. Cook said he only had 1 slice of sourdough, so he would have to go to the grocery store? Wife said, make it on white. When it came to our table - one piece of old sourdough, one piece of Wonder bread? My "scrambled eggs" were gray, floating in a pool of melted margarine, and consisted of a fried egg patty that was cut into pieces. I tried one bite - spit it out and ate the breakfast potatoes and bacon. Coffee was self-serve. Canisters were empty, again, when we tried to get a 2nd cup? No one else in the place - who drinks the coffee??? Disaster of a breakfast in a clear mistake of a restaurant. If you find yourself thinking of stopping in Groveland, CA for anything - keep driving. read more

Hungry as a bear I stopped by this grill returning from Yosemite. The burger was fine and I enjoyed the toasted bun. I was not a fan of the French fries but they were hot. The service was very slow and we were the only two in the restaurant. The decor in mountain the ambiance felt in place given its remote location. read more

I would love to give this spot a five star review with shining color. Stopped here on the way to Yosemite and ordered the toffee coffee latte with oat milk, and it was one of the best lattes I've had!

Def stop here on your way to Yosemite!! read more

Pretty oily food. Portions were very large, but, burger was really dry, didn't finish. French fries were also very dry, and overdone imo. Milkshake was actually very good! Got the Oreo milkshake and was the perfect blend of Oreo chunks and drink. read more
