8 Best Coffee Shops near Mammoth Lakes

“Looney Bean in Mammoth is SO worth the hype! ☕🍂 The fall specials were absolutely yum! The Pumpkin Pie Chai and Autumn Matcha were both delicious and perfect for the season. The bacon burrito was soooo good, and the croissant was fresh and flaky. 🥐❤ The lines can get long, but honestly, it’s worth the wait! Such a great spot to grab a cozy fall drink and a bite to eat. Definitely a must-visit in Mammoth! 🍁✨“

“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!“

“Great bakery, however, I do have to say there were a few things about it that I think could be improved, which is why I only gave 4 stars. The baked goods are all incredible, we had the enchilada egg pie, quiche and the blueberry pudding crumble. All items were 10/10. Other than food being great, it always bothers me when a cafe/restaurant doesn’t have a menu, it puts the customer in an awkward position where they either have to ask about a bunch of items or roll the dice and hope the pricing isn’t going to come as a surprise. And if there are other customers waiting it makes it more awkward to have to ask for pricing. I like to peek at the menu and figure out what makes sense for my wallet + body, I like to look at these things ahead of time so I’m not rushed when I arrive. So I think adding a menu to the website or bakery itself is a good idea. Another consideration for customers, it’s very hot inside because they’re baking, don’t plan to work here or eat inside in the summer, we had to eat outside, which was fine but just something to keep in mind. They don’t provide WiFi here either so I’m less inclined to come here and work (I’m staying in a van whenever I’m in Mammoth) this is probably just a spot I would come to for a tasty baked item to go. One other thing I noticed was that I’m not sure that the baked goods get covered for closing, maybe they do and I just didn’t see that they were covered but I’m hoping that they do because the layout looked the same as when I walked in yesterday to buy something with no covers in sight. The drip coffee is pretty pricey, it’s tasty but Looney sells theirs for $3.75 (large) and here it’s $5.65 (large). Lastly, it’s sort of pricey, which I think reflects the quality, everything is indeed tasty here, but just something to consider if you don’t want to spend too much, you’re getting high quality food so just expect to pay for that. Overall we had a good experience here and will probably be back at some point, but it’s seems like there are better options for coffee which is what we really look forward to in the morning when we’re up here camping.“

“It was after 7 p.m., and all my usual coffee spots were already closed when I casually stumbled upon Side Door Cafe. What a great little find! The cafe may be small and cozy, but their coffee is definitely big on flavor.

It’s such a cute and beautiful spot, with a tempting selection of pastries and plenty of delicious coffee options to try.

I didn’t go too fancy this time because I was really craving a cortado (macchiato), but when I saw they had lavender, I couldn’t resist adding it to my double shot. Such a good combination! The coffee was excellent—creamy, smooth, and full of flavor.

I’ll definitely be coming back to explore more of their coffee menu… and next time, I may have to stay a little later and check out their wine bar too. ☕🍷

A lovely little unexpected find!“

“We come up from Los Angeles a family of four and this place absolutely does the trick when it comes to prices and quality. There are a few places in that area in the village that are just tourist traps overpriced for service poor quality I am so surprised at the quality of the New York Deli Bakery it's just good and cheap and they really catered to all crowds don't even pack your lunch for the day if you're going to go on the mountain or for a hike the warm packet for you it's an awesome place“
