The house iced mocha has a touch of cinnamon and is delicious, but is really sweet. Definitely ease back on the sweetness if it's morning time. Also not sure why, but I like this one better than the one in mammoth.

We stopped by this place on the way to CA. It's a great spot to stop. We loved the pastries we got. We were a bit sad to find out they use powdered Chai. But the two drinks we go instead were still good. I would recommend this place to others.

One of my go to spots when traveling the 395, great breakfast options and pastries.

Cute place! The baked goods were tasty, but I was a little disappointed with the breakfast sandwich and avocado toast. Both breads greatly under toasted. The staff is fun and energetic and I would love to be friends. But there is a general lack of urgency that should be there when 20 people are waiting for their orders. I remember thinking to myself that at least one of the three people standing around could help the one guy making 700 drinks, instead of just talking to him. Also, coffee was only slightly better than average. Harsh review for a 3 star rating, but the overall experience was enjoyable still, and worthy of a revisit.

I always look forward to stopping here whenever I'm in town. The service is always excellent. I was especially grateful that they leave their doors open to allow for air circulation during the COVID pandemic. All the customers were wearing masks and the employees as well. I felt comfortable here and was willing to come back later to grab something to eat. They offer various unique bagels and yummy looking pastries.

Highly recommend! Stopped in as we were passing through Bishop. Staff is SO friendly. I ordered an iced chai latte and it’s the best I’ve ever had. Lots of vegetarian, vegan and GF options available on the menu. I ordered the mushroom burger and my husband got the rainbow trout sandwich. Both were excellent.

Our favorite coffee shop on 395! Great espresso, a variety of drinks, good atmosphere, and awesome service.

Friendly staff, amazing coffee. I had drip coffee and was very impressed by the quality. Very nice atmosphere as well, the only downside is that the place is quite popular (understandably so) and there wasn't enough room for my group to sit for awhile. Once we were able to be seated my friends ordered breakfast burritos which looked delicious as well!

Pleasant staff, young and energetic. They have some really interesting art pieces on display for sale. Selection was fair and not overwhelming. Coffee was delicious and the pumpkin Chai with an add shot was great. Worth a check out.
