Bistro 96 - Big Bear Lake

I was here for the first time last week after I found that the Starbucks were closed and I was glad I came here after I tried to find a place for me to hang and have a coffee comfortable. The interior was a very spacious and cabin feeling. There were also seats for outside that I know would be great to enjoy the mountains. Their service was not as good as I hear and they did a wonderful job to make me feel comfortable. I'm more of an ice cream drinker, but I had the salted Carmel-Latte, as it was a little cold here and it was very good. I look forward to many more times that I return here for a relaxing coffee. Thanks for your great service.

You had great breakfast food for a bite before you meet Big Bear, warn that it will probably be a line. Actually scratch that their breakfast sandwiches are quite stellar regardless of location! I said the Granola Bar is the best I ever had from a friend, but I have a oat allergy, so I can neither confirm nor deny this statement. Coffee (I drink it unchallenged as the gods intended) is only so that this is not 5/5. You can enjoy it more when you do it with milk and sugar or better still let it do! It's fair trade of Oregon, though such props.

Everybody's so friendly here! Coffee was great and we had a simple but delicious breakfast. Very recommended for a place to grab a small bite and good coffee and simply cool out.

This place is a pretty good “mom pop shop”. My husband and I tried the croissant sandwiches, oat milk latte, almond milk mocha (let them know if you don't too sweet! . I love the support of local, small businesses and it directly near Bear Mountain. As they mention, they make everything from time and care into any order! If you are in a hurry, go to a Fast Food Joint OR be patient and enjoy a local jewel!

This place is so cute! The coffee is great and the staff are nice. So many little details are there to make the experience better, from the water dispenser, to the pretty cutlery. There is also a piano and just a bunch of fun stuff, and upstairs there is a little library!
