Alabama Hills Cafe & Bakery

Partner and I had the French Toast Combo and the Sierra Scramble, respectively. The portions were okay, but not quite fitting the hefty price. We each had coffee, which was surprisingly good. Service was great.

Wonderful menu featuring their specialty breads. I had a roast beef melt in cheddar jalapeno bread. Best sandwich I have had in years.

I don't know why people like this place so much. The waitress was brisk. The food was so-so. And the inside was really noisy. I would recommend finding another place to go.

Easily my favorite restaurant in Lone Pine! Make sure you try the jalapeno cheddar bread!
Jan'26 Update:
Still love it here! Definitely recommend the Clint Eastwood, any omelet, and the breakfast BLT! Can't wait to see the new location 😍

Charming cafe! Nice people works in there. Despite us arriving in the busiest hour on the busiest day people were nice and organized and we got a table after 15 mins. Food was good. Will be happy to return!

This is one of those places you’re grateful for every single time you pass through Lone Pine.

What many people don’t realize is that they have two locations, just about a 2-minute walk from each other.

The smaller café runs from 5am–3pm and is perfect for early mornings. Expect comforting hot breakfasts, flavored lattes, and some of the best pastries and freshly baked breads in town—exactly what you want before a long drive or a day on the trail.

The larger property opens at 3pm and stays open until around 11pm, and on weekends often stays open until 2am. It has a full bar, and it’s pretty much the only place in Lone Pine open past 8pm, which means this is where all the fun happens. It’s lively, social, and a natural gathering spot in the evenings. The property itself is gorgeous, and they also have an event space, making it great for group gatherings and celebrations.

Location-wise, it couldn’t be better—just one block from the famous Alabama Hills Geological Formations and of course, just below Mount Whitney Portal, making it an ideal stop before or after outdoor adventures.

We ordered the breakfast burrito, short stack, bacon and eggs with fruit and toast, the Gene Autry omelette, and biscuits and gravy—every dish was hearty, well-prepared, and deeply satisfying. Portions were generous and everything felt thoughtfully made.

Whether you’re passing through, hiking Mt. Whitney, road-tripping through the Eastern Sierra, or spending a few nights in Lone Pine, Alabama Hills Cafe is an absolute must—morning or night.
Highly recommend.

Excellent, plain American food. The place is too small for the amount of people that were there, but the baked goods, the people, the overall environment are great. Highly recommend.

Great small town breakfast stop that provides awesome food with a smile. Well worth the stop.
