Ok, if you have a sweet tooth this is the place you will want to visit while you are visiting…read moreSanta's Village. I am sure the kids will not argue with you! We had waited in line outdoors for most of the time. It was quite cold and windy during the wait. One place I wish they had outdoor heaters . The house is decorated on the outside just like you would imagine a gingerbread house would be, cute, adorable and delicious looking. Once you walk into the house you will find some displays of familiar candies. Maybe something you may want to get the next time you are at your convenience or grocery store. Save room for the some of the beautiful and delightful dessert that are displayed behind the acrylic shield. And don't forget something warm to drink! The drink orders once made are handed out at the window on the side of the building. We ordered quite a bit, just wanting to try everything that looked and sounded delicious. My girls enjoyed the cinnamon rolls while the pretzel, and molasses cookie were my favorite. My girls agreed with me on the cookie as well. The grandkids enjoyed their cake pop. For hot drinks, we ordered hot chocolate and hot chai. For me, it was worth the wait. I would order more molasses cookie and an extra pretzel! The customer service was friendly despite the line of people that was coming through. Great job staff! I plan to stop by this house again the next time we come to Santa's Village.

The top and bottom layers were ginger-doodle with gingerbread frosting and the middle layer was chocolate with espresso frosting. The flavors were amazing and the cake fit our rustic Christmasy theme perfectly. We had a very small and intimate wedding in December 2024 to which Jerry and the Gingerbread House were amazing to work with and gave the best service. We also had some of their goodies from the shop and those were also incredible. Thank you, Jerry! We can't wait to come back for some more sweets.

My wife and I ordered two vanilla lattes, the chicken and waffles, and a sausage breakfast burrito. Everything was cooked perfectly and flavorful, absolutely zero notes. The coffee is fantastic, the breakfast was incredible, and the staff was friendly and efficient, keeping the service moving quickly even when they were busy. We ended up coming back the next two days as well. We loved it so much that we came back one evening to try their pizza, and it didn't disappoint either. If you are in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by. Excellent food, great coffee, and wonderful service!

I was shocked at the actual square footage of this store as it looks much smaller from the street. Additionally, I never noticed they have a Starbucks within. Initially I only intended to stop in for a meager bag of tortilla chips, but I soon found myself walking other aisles just to peruse the variety of goods available. There's a full-service bakery with an impressive display case near the entrance (adjacent to the Starbucks), and the steaks at the meat counter were equally attractive. The deli section was doing a good business with several people in line for sandwiches, and I noticed a hot soup station, as well. I hate shopping at Lake Arrowhead village on weekends due to the traffic and, though this Jensens was doing a very brisk business, the ease of parking is so much better. I have been relying on the little market in Cedar Glen (a former Jensens, ironically) for emergency "basics, " but it's nice to know there is a larger, better-stocked, option available a short five miles distant.

The regular flavors (ie cardamon, cinnamon, vanilla) you can get at no minimal amount. But the more specific flavors (ie saffron) have a minimum you need to purchase.

There was a bit of a line, but she made every customer who went through her line feel seen. She actively engaged in conversation and gave suggestions for how customers could save some $$$. I know we all appreciate those types of hints. When it was our turn, she personalized her conversation so organically. The store also had reasonable prices and a good selection of different types of food. Recommend for vacationers who prefer to cook vs go out to eat for every meal.

But I must say, Michael Doherty has let Stater Brothers go downhill ?.. and I will say he has definitely left the original owners completely down. I know so many people that have stopped shopping there and it's very sad. It's just become the trash of the hill. For us That I've lived here 40 years plus when we get together it's saddens us to see the store go to flatlanders and not to the locals. He has let the Store go to hell and it is what it is cause it used to be a great store. Hope you're having Michael Doherty because of your employees as well as you have run that store into the ground I'm quite honestly I don't care about anybody's opinion unless you've lived her close to 40 years and you knew that Store 40 years ago.

Running Springs, CA is a town I didn't even know existed until my wife needed to use a washroom and…read morewe ended up off the highway here. This small town is adorable and one thing that absolutely blew me away was The Sugar Chalet and the extremely friendly gentleman working the front desk last Friday when we stopped in. This small sweet shop had the best looking donuts I've seen in ages and I couldn't help but order some for breakfast. I picked up a few different types from a chocolate one with cookie dough on it, an oreo style donut, and two for my wife. On top of the donuts, I grabbed a salted chocolate chip cookie as well. As someone who's enjoyed and loved donuts from Los Angeles to Amsterdam and Paris to Boston, I can safely say The Sugar Chalet might just be my favourite donut shop in the entire world. These donuts were the absolute perfect consistency in almost every way. The dough was so light and fluffy while the toppings were absolutely delicious. Overall, The Sugar Chalet is a special place. 5 stars for the gentleman working, 5 stars for the donuts and cookie, and 5 stars for every other thing about this place. I will 100% be back in the future and I already can't wait.

The service is friendly and drinks seem to be made well, but be prepared to wait. It definitely gets really slow when it gets moderately busy so be prepared to wait. There is lots of seating inside and good lighting. There a lot of windows so there is a lot of natural light which is perfect for a place like this. It's a fun place to hang out and enjoy your coffee or tea! I typically go for a cold brew or iced vanilla latte. Recently tried the brown sugar black tea latte and it was really good! It was essentially a brown sugar boba tea, without the boba. I think that's quickly jumped to my favorite menu item. The perk of their menu is that they have a lot of ways you can customize your drink to fit you; they have coffee and espresso beverages, and of course teas with popular options like matcha and chai, as well as other teas that you can get hot or iced. They have a bunch of flavors and also offer non-dairy milk options, so you can go as wild as you want to make your drink your own. The downside is that any customization comes at a price, and it's kind of steep (like $0.99 for a flavor, $0.99 for alternative milk). It adds up even for a simple iced vanilla latte with almond milk, you're looking at a $7+ latte. To me that's where they lose a star because for the wait and the price, it doesn't quite feel like the value matches all the time.
