9 Best Cafes in Mammoth Lakes

“I'm so happy there is this second location in Mammoth! I already love the Big Bear Cafe Crepe, and two is better than one 😃 The complete (egg, cheese...and you can even add spinach and garlic spread) is my favorite. Make sure you check em out if you're in Mammoth or Big Bear Lake!“

“Bloody Marys are masterfully crafted, perfectly peppery, and just the right amount of spiciness. The Mill is the perfect on mountain spot to grab a drink and hang out in a lounge chair. I got an order of the chili cheese fries and was pleasantly surprised!While there's not a lot of indoor seating, there's plenty of outdoor hightops by the bar that open up quickly as well as patio tables and lounge chairs closer to the lifts.“

“A great local coffee shop. They have a lot of different flavors for signature lattes and seasonal lattes. Their breakfast burritos are really good too! I love stopping by in the morning for a latte and burrito. The line can be long in the morning, but you can order online ahead of time for pickup to avoid waiting in line.“

“This was a lovely stop for morning eats. Fresh quiche and fritatas, awesome fig pastry, mac and cheese warmed up. What a wonderful bakery shop where the goods are made in house, lemon bar was perfect too. Definitely returning to try out more delicious dishes.“

“For many years, long before it was called the outpost, I've enjoyed outdoor lunch at the bottom of Chair 14. Very relaxing and laid back, it is a great place for a rest and to soak up some sun while taking a break from the skiing. A warm sunny day and low wind is a must as there is no wind break or inside seating. There are ample and clean restrooms available, and like all places in Mammoth free water. They've added a take out bar and the take out food stop keeps changing the name, it is currently called the Melt House, but the food is always good. You can bring your own food and drinks and just relax at the picnic tables. I've never seen it so crowded that you couldn't find somewhere to sit, and most people don't mind sharing their table with you. The have added a fire place in the last couple of years but that is usually crowded. Since it is far away from the Main Lodge, it is rarely crowded and it does feel like you are getting away from it all.“

“the pesto pasta primavera was SO good! Nice staff, generous portions, the breaded zucchini was also insanely good.“

“The staff are amazing, super friendly! The coffee is smooth, no bitterness. The coffee drinks are always consistent. love this place!!!“

“Delicious coffee!!! We will be back!!!“

“Hi - I travelled all over California, from Australia. Black Velvet Coffee made us HANDS DOWN the best cup of coffee in the state. The staff were friendly, the venue is Excellent - MAN - I can't wait to get back to Mammoth to have another coffee :) note: most Australians drink Espresso - and these guys KNEW how to properly prepare espresso and frothed milk drinks. THANK GOD for this shop! Y'all rock!“
