They also have plenty of seats indoor as well. Their menu is extensive, mainly serving burgers, sandwiches, salads, or soup with some pastries available at the counter or fridge. My partner ended up getting their Mono Burger while I got their Salad and Soup (Soup of the Day). We chose to do outdoor seating and there were quite a few birds flittering around. Our order came relatively quickly. Soup of the day today was sweet potato soup and it is just like it's name - a creamy sweet potato soup and it was yum. No frills or anything added which is perfectly great. As for the salad, it was just a standard house salad with some lettuce, tomatoes, croutons and such. I opted for the honey balsamic dressing and it's a nice, fresh choice after backpacking. My partner's burger was massive. It came with 1/2 lb beef - it was a massive meat patty! But he said it was delicious and well earned. We also got a salted caramel brownie which was decadent! It's a little dense, but super chocolatey and I love the crackly top layer with some caramel drizzle.

It was out first time visiting June Lake, and this place is definitely a go to. This was the most wonderful and unexpected find here in June Lake! Friendly service with a cozy vibe. Highly recommend!!!

I've been here a few times when visiting Mammoth…read more It's a popular local spot so it can get busy. I've only been in October and March. Winter and summer I'm sure, get really busy. Friendly service Lots of coffee options. Homemade treats and breakfast. Warm and chill vibe inside. I've gotten the avocado toast and friends had the breakfast sandwiches and they were all good. I only drink decaffeinated teas so I love that they have a few organic options. That's a plus for me! My husband loves the drip coffee. They have some cute items for sale. We bought our dog a nice stainless steel dog bowl. Dogs are allowed on the outside patio only, however, when we came in March it was snowing so they let us bring our dog inside. I don't think they still allow this. They seem strict about service dogs only ( signs everywhere). It's close to a lot of the condos so it makes a great morning walk destination.

Got a container of the raw cookie dough to make at home-chocolate chip flavor-the dough was very dry and upon scooping it out, we discovered it had shredded coconut in it! That's a no go for my family. Why would coconut be in chocolate chip cookie dough?! For $15 for the small container I felt ripped off given I did not get what I ordered. Overall the quality is not good and pricey to top it off.

There was a short line when we arrived. It took about 16 minutes just to order 2 cappuccinos and 2 pastries. The coffees too another 5 minutes . The line is longer as i wrote this review. Not sure who the manager is but I don't see a lot of managing the line occurring. We went the next day because the other bakery i. Town served stale blueberry muffins and the barrister wasn't working. This time at Bees, there was no line. But it still took more than ten minutes to get our cappuccino. The cheese Danish were made from puff pastry sheets that are sold frozen and they were filled with a tasty but sparse cheese filling. I went from three stars to two. Not worth the price (2 danish and 2 large cappuccino ($22)

Upon arrival to Tom's place, I let my service animal walk around for second before picking her up…read moreto carry her into the restaurant. I was immediately met on the porch by the owner? A short, portly, long blond/ grey hair lady who instantly barked that pets were not allowed in Tom's place. I informed her that my dog is a service animal, and she immediately raised her voice and started accusing me of lying. She demanded to see paperwork that would prove that my dog is a service animal, I asked her to wait a minute while I pull it up on email and she would not stop raising her voice and basically yelling at me. I had lost my reading glasses the day before and could not see well, I was trying to pull up the email while she was yelling at me. She said she had reading glasses she could sell me, but I needed to show her the proof that my dog was a service animal before she would let her in the store. My dog was now shivering profusely because it was coldish and windy, she pointed it out and I informed her that my dog is shivering from the cold, and we are just hungry this is a huge waste of time, because she is a legal service animal, but I am now under too much stress and cannot see without my glasses to pull up the digital proof that she demands before we enter. I informed her that this was illegal, and she started berating me, telling me I don't know what the law is. She than started being condescending and asking me if I know what ADA stands for. I told her that I am a RN, and that just made her louder and more unruly. If anyonlie from the state wants to talk, I allow YELP to release my email address to them. I have had my service animal for years, and never a problem. I have actually had her in Tom's place before without a problem. I have no idea why a small restaurant owner would rather cause potential litigation and undue stress upon potential customers and break the law and demand proof of service animal legitimacy than just let people with service animals live their best lives in peace. I did not need this experience and neither did the friend that was with me or my service animal . WHO THE HELL CARES IF SOMEONE HAS A SMALL DOG THAT IS SILENT. Unfortunately for you, she is a service animal. I have paperwork. In this day and age in California, they are letting many crimes go unpunished, as it is now racist to prosecute anything. So to all the small restaurant owners out there that give people undue stress about service animals which are not a crime, just shut your mouth, take our money, and obey the law.
