During my stay in the Lake Chelan area, hubby and I decided to take a walk around the downtown…read more After grabbing a delicious coffee from The Vogue, we stopped in here and I was thrilled! Lake Chelan doesn't have much in terms of high-quality vegetarian or plant-based gourmet options, but Bear Foods was a massively delightful surprise! The store is absolutely PACKED with things that I wanted to look at and take home. I was impressed with how many things they stocked that were items I've only seen online and never seen sold in stored. We took a super long time through the coffee and tea isle and ultimately took a few boxes and tins home with us because their selection was so good. Their cheeses and gourmet snacks area was well stocked, and I could see how some of the vacationing non-locals could keep a business like this afloat even with their considerable prices. I really wanted to go back, but we were in the area for a wedding and our timeline just didn't allow it to happen. Otherwise, I probably would have brought home a lot more of their amazing goodies! Only downside for me was that during our time there, there was a mask mandate, and not a single person working there was masked. I thought that was an odd thing to have despite the state's requirements and especially because they were a grocery store and having significant contact with patrons. Other than that, it was a really positive experience and I would absolutely return.

While arriving at Lake Chelan, I found this Bear Foods Store. I was fascinated by the signboard at…read morethe entrance and went inside. There are things in the narrow space, and I haven't looked at each one properly, Herbs and spices are sold in small portions and are reasonably priced. There is a unique package of chocolates, which is intriguing to buy. There are natural and health-conscious items.I feel like I can stay in this shop for hours. You will surely have something you want. I recommend checking out this store when you come to Lake Chelan.

The restaurant itself is taking on a fresh new look and the ambience is special. If you are looking for an exceptional meal, try one of their combination offerings. Prices are decent and the portions are more than adequate. Expect to be greeted at the door by either Homaro or Teresa and seated at a clean and comfortable booth or table. You will love the abundent supply of salsa, green cabbage and basket of chips. Margaritas are a fantastic drink to compliment your meal. Our favorite Mexican restaurant in Omak.
