This Airstream…read morehas been converted into a cafe and gift shop with amazing coffee, unique treats, and friendly service. The lady running the cart is so sweet and answered all my questions about flavors. I settled on a rosemary iced latte- it was perfect! Not too sweet and so flavorful. It looks as though she even uses coffee ice cubes so that your drink is not diluted as the ice melts! There is a lovely little seating area outside with shade for sunny summer mornings, and games to pull out and play if you come with friends. Please do yourself a favor and stop by the next time you find yourself in Bishop.

My wife was in Bishop and visited this store and bought some gifts for some of our relatives. She…read morecame home to tell me about some beautiful pieces that they had that she just loved. I contacted Sara at Anne Marie's Home Boutique and she was so very kind to help me identify the exact items that my wife was looking at. Sara took the time on the phone with me and sent me a few photos of items based on the vague description that I had given her to help me pin down exactly what my wife was looking at. Intended as Christmas presents, Sara wrapped them, securely packed them for shipment and also went so far as to find me the most reasonable method of shipping from the small town of Bishop. The items arrived beautifully wrapped, completely protected, and in time for Christmas. Thank you Sara and Anne Marie's Home Boutique. This place has the most beautiful items and the best customer service!

Start here! If this…read moreis your first time visiting Mono Lake, this is the place you should start! The visitor center is full of wonderful information about geological, ecology and cultural history of Mono Lake and its surroundings. The Rangers working in the visitor center are extremely friendly and helpful. You can easily spend a couple of hours in there and not even feel the passing of time! The view from the back yard of the visitor center is great. If you step outside with a camera I am sure it will be clicking fast! If you are into hiking or photography, ask the rangers for a map of the area and their recommendations for best photo opportunity spots.

The Mono Basin Visitor Center is the go-to spot to learn more about this amazing part of the state…read moreand its unique wildlife and history. I was on an epic trip through the area (stop over at the county park to the north of here for a secluded boardwalk into the lake) in the late summer and made this a destination. The views of the lake from here are outstanding, on a clear day you can see across the entire lake. I love the extensive displays available to learn about the geology, hydrology, geography and life of the lake. Watch out for the giant brine shrimp display, that isn freaked me out. The location is easy to find and the turnoff from the highway is easy to use (can get hairy in this part of the state crossing highways). I loved all the great native plant and stone displays around the center. This allows you to learn about the area even when it is closed. I liked the extensive info on the plantings and the different strategies they have adapted to live here. There are also a few info boards near the parking lot that go over the same stuff as inside. I did not take any hikes form here due to the hill it is on (who want's to walk back up?). Try other trails in the area, such as that near the south shore tufa. The staff are very helpful, answering any esoteric questions you may have to the best of their ability. Very nice gift shop as well, got my Mono Lake postcards here. Minus one star for an off-topic ranger talk, which instead of being about the hydrology of the area was all about climate change and guilt-tripping everyone. I don't need your proselytizing about my behavior if you don't see anything wrong with what I'm doing here at the center, what I need is natural history information to better understand this area. I left 20 mins into the talk after waiting around for an hour for it to start. Boo that! Anytime you would like to know more about Mono Lake, head over to the Basin Visitor Center for an extensive education and mostly friendly staff.

I got alstroemeria carnations and another flower I don't even recognize along with the standard green fern, not light green foliage. It would've been a different story if she told me she couldn't, but she repeated what I said, and then did whatever she wanted. For over $80 I got a bouquet that probably shouldn't have cost more than 20. The lady that took my order didn't write my daughter's address down correctly. My daughter said it's amazing that it even got delivered. I guess because I'm out of town it's easy for them to take advantage of me. I will never use this Florist Again. FYI, I started calling on Monday and I finally talked to someone on Thursday after leaving multiple messages.
