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.“

“The Mexican mocha latte is maybe a little too sweet for me but still very good. I went back for it again. To be fair I didn’t ask for it to be made less sweet and I’m sure they would if asked, but it was early and the thought didn’t cross my mind until later lol.

Big parking lot, so parking is easy“

“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.“

“The Outpost is one of the coolest places to take a break while skiing at Mammoth. It’s located mid-mountain and has an awesome outdoor setup where you can relax, warm up, and enjoy the views before heading back out on the slopes.

The atmosphere is fantastic. There are fire pits, picnic tables, and plenty of space to sit outside and enjoy the mountain scenery. On a sunny day it’s an amazing place to stop, grab some food, and recharge between runs.

They’re known for their grilled cheese and soups, which really hit the spot when you’ve been skiing all morning. Simple comfort food, but perfect for the mountain environment. Sitting by the fire pits with a hot meal while looking out over the snow-covered slopes makes for a great ski break.

The setting is what really makes The Outpost special. Surrounded by mountains and trees, it has that relaxed mid-mountain lodge vibe that makes Mammoth such a great ski destination.

If you’re skiing Mammoth Mountain, The Outpost is definitely worth stopping at for a break, good food, and one of the best mid-mountain hangout spots on the hill.“
