On our way to Lake Tahoe we needed to make a pit stop for lunch, so I started searching for spots. We were about 45 mins away from Lone Pine and found this little gem. It was around 1pm and I was still looking to have breakfast, but my hubby was looking for lunch. This place seemed to offer both and the reviews were good too! We were able to park right up front. They have an outside patio in the front area as an option to dine at. It was definitely a hot day in the high 90's, so it wasn't an option for us to sit out there today. Although they did have misters on which was a nice touch. We walked in to a busy place and there were only two tables available, so we sat down right away. It took a while for us to get our menu's, but we can see it was busy. Our server was really nice and once we ordered our food, it was served pretty quickly! I ordered the Ironman Scramble with the Cheddar Jalapeño bread which the bread was so delicious! I also ordered a refreshing Peach Iced Tea. My husband ordered the Alabama Hills Bacon Cheese Burger and a Strawberry Lemonade. We were both very happy with our meals and even ordered a Cinnamon Roll to go! All the baked goods looked amazing too. read more

We had hoped to try this place for breakfast but it wasn't meant to be. Although the place was busy and packed, we were promptly seated once a table was available. So far so good! It took a few minutes of waiting but our waitress came by and took our order. We ordered fresh OJ while we decided what to eat. Unfortunately our waitress never came back to take our food order after we got our OJ. Around the 10min mark of waiting and wondering where our waitress was, we overheard the staff telling some of the customers that their systems were down and were not able to take orders or payment. Oddly, they only seemed to communicate this to guests who were waiting or standing in line. I saw one customer pay cash for their food while they let another customer go without asking for payment (they told him not to worry about it). However, I didn't see any of the staff communicate to patrons who were already seated, including us. After another 10min of waiting to see if someone would come by to tell us of the issue, we decided to just get up and leave after being there for almost 30 minutes. On our way out, we handed some cash to a random staff member to pay for the OJ, but she didn't even seem to care. Although I was excited to try their breakfast items, their service (or lack thereof) has turned me away from wanting to visit again. I understand you're busy and having your systems offline added to the chaos, but the staff could have easily just made an announcement to the whole restaurant (it's a small restaurant) about the issue, thanking people for their patience, and letting us know what to expect. read more

It's been a year, we're a month later this year than last, you can tell all the schools are out AHC was busy. Super service from the friendly staff at this cozy vintage cafe. Our fried steak country potatoes were outstanding. I was really impressed with the gravy wow it was the best. AHC also has a bakery the items in the display case were temping all looked fresh and delicious AHC will be moving just a couple doors down to a much larger location we'll check them out next trip read more

Stopped by for a simple, classic breakfast before heading out. Friendly service! Came on Sunday 10am and waited about 15 min. The chicken fried steak and eggs and the Humphrey Bogart's Skillet were hearty meals that kept us full for hours. We also got a cinnamon roll to go, and even after a 6-hour drive it reheated well read more

We recently visited the Alabama Hills and Manzanar areas with the family, and upon arrival, we were on the hunt for breakfast. We stopped at another location down the street, and a kind lady referred us to see Jessie at the only breakfast spot in town- Alabama Hills Cafe & Bakery. They were very popular and due to mild windy weather they were only seating inside. We ordered takeout and ate at the picnic tables out front. The food was hot, tasty, fresh made to order eggs with large shareable portions. The to-go order from start to finish took about 20 minutes. There is a dirt parking lot next door, with a view of their rock people mural. read more

This place won't let you down if you're stopping through. Many hikers and travelers stop here. They have a to-go menu (which apparently means you can literally take the menu to go - some guy walked in and asked for a to-go menu and was confused when he wasn't able to walk out with it...at first). But really, they have wraps to go if you need a quick bite. The food isn't anything to write home about - the real star of the show is Jess. She will make you feel welcomed, as if you're a regular. She has the perfect personality to keep the ambiance at the restaurant high energy and fun. Should she ever leave this place, the ratings would likely be closer to a 2-3 star. read more

I was passing through town with my best bud, and as we drove past this place, he said, "Remember that fruity coffee cake you got here a couple years ago?" And I was like, "TURN THE CAR AROUND!!" And of course he obliged, coz that's what friends are for, right? We were greeted by the same familiar, friendly blonde gal who's been here for years, and she told us there would be a wait for a table inside; the place was absolutely packed with families and friends happily eating and chatting - not a single empty chair! I had spotted the blackberry peach coffee cake as soon as we walked up to the counter, which was all I wanted, plus we had to get going... it was also a bit loud for our taste, but I'm sure we would have had a nice time if we stayed. I would've taken a picture of this legendary coffee cake, but it was like gone in 60 seconds, so maybe next time! Thank y'all for the hospitality and the consistently delicious coffee cake! It was just as good as I remembered! read more

Great local coffee shop and bakery. Large portions, ample coffee refills, and free parking right in front of the restaurant. Located on a side street, it's tucked away off the main drag and took us a minute to find. Very friendly service and classic coffee shop ambiance. Great place to start the day! read more

We came in on a Saturday morning and they were only serving inside. We snagged the last table and waited. We ordered--hubs did the Humphrey Bogart and I ordered the cinnamon French toast with eggs and bacon. A lot of people come in to order takeout or look for a table as we waited. The food takes longer than anticipated. My eggs and bacon had been sitting for a bit as it was cold. The French toast is good, thick and house made. I gave a piece to Hubs as it's a lot of food. It's a traditional breakfast diner vibe. They're busy with locals and hikers coming through. Give it a try. read more

Always stop by this place when driving from San Diego to the Sierra Nevadas. T The employees are friendly every time we have come here. There's plenty of seating and from what I see it looks like the original location will expand to a second location just across the street. The food is delicious!! And there's a variety for menu items for those who love savory or sweet. There's also something for both meat eaters and non meat eaters haha I highly recommend stopping by here to grab a bit or some souvenirs to take home. read more

After a climb, a hike, or off roading it is always a good place to get good food. The service is outstanding.

This is the coziest little place for breakfast and/or pastries! My husband and I stopped in on a Sunday morning before a day of hiking and were so impressed by the excellent menu, the quick service, and the amazing food. I had the Iron Man Scramble with fresh fruit and jalapeño cheddar toast, plus a cappuccino. My plate was so beautiful and colorful! The scramble was delicious, the fruit was fresh and flavorful, and the bread was out of this world. My husband had the breakfast burrito with bacon, and he was enamored! Plus, we sat by the window and were treated with a view of the mountains as we ate. We also grabbed a pastry to go- the peach blackberry tart was perfectly flakey and not too sweet. We will certainly be back on future trips to Lone Pine! read more

ALWAYS stop here if you can! Even if there is a long line...there is a reason folks are waiting for his amazing food! Today I discovered my "go-to" which is a grilled sandwich stuffed with 1/2 lb. of the deer paste with yummy cheese and sauteed onions and peppers! Oh wow! The ice tea is always perfect. Service is fast and nice especially for such a busy spot. read more

My friend had read amazing things about Alabama Hills Cafe & Bakery, so we had to make a stop during our roadtrip. They were very busy on a Sunday (late) morning. The interior had an old-school, cozy vibe with fun wall murals. The space was pretty small, but they also had some tables outside near the entrance. I ordered the Tomato Spinach Roll and Cherry Turnover to share with a friend. Both were tasty, but the Cherry Turnover really stole the show for me. The dough was perfectly flaky and the cherry filling was delicious. Would love to return for more one day! read more

Our group came in for dinner and sat in the back private area. The menu was limited which was fine with us. We ordered one expensive salad and one beer on tap, that's all pretty simple right. The wrong salad was brought out and I never received my beer. After a long wait we finally received the salad and the wrong beer on tap. We enjoyed our gathering but the service was lacking. read more

We ate here based on ratings, and glad we did. The food was really good. I would eat here again.

Explored the beautiful landscapes in Alabama Hills and stopped by this charming cafe & bakery. I enjoyed a slice of peach & blackberry cake which was so yummy and soft. My friend enjoyed his chicken fried steak sharing it could've been a little more tender but overall it was well seasoned and very enjoyable. House fries were also very flavorful. The star was definitely the gravy on both his plate and on top of the pillowy biscuits. Great portions, definitely took some food to go. Friendly service and charming interior. This is definitely a must stop in the area! read more

We stopped at this cafe for breakfast thrice while in Lone Pine. It's a cozy cafe and there's indoor as well as patio seating. It was quite crowded when we arrived but didn't have any wait time. We got the cinnamon French toast and the Spooks rock omelette on day one and Clint Eastwood skillet the next day along with a cinnamon latte all of which were amazing. We got the breakfast burrito with Chorizo and a ham and cheese croissant to go and it was delicious. We got a slice of the peach blackberry coffee cake all the days we were there it is quite scrumptious. Do give them a try when in the vicinity. read more

My family has been visiting Alabama Hills Cafe multiple times a year for more than 15 years, and we have never experienced more than a brief wait for a table. Today, we were told that the wait would be longer than usual, and staff took my phone number to notify us when a table became available. However, it is not the wait that was the issue. I am retired former law enforcement with service-related back injuries. After waiting outside for approximately ten minutes, the pain became severe, and I needed to sit in a chair with back support rather than the outdoor picnic benches. I asked if my family and I could sit separately so that I could alleviate the pain. My wife and daughter sat at one two-person table, and I sat at another. It was not ideal, but it was the only workable solution at the moment. Within two minutes of sitting down, three four-person tables opened up. My wife asked if we could move to one of those tables so we could sit together. The first waitress we spoke to said it would not be a problem, but another staff member later told us we could not move because there were people behind us on the wait list. We were already on the list and should have been given priority over parties who arrived after us. We had not yet received any food--only coffee--so relocating us to the same table would not have created significant additional work for the staff. Rather than showing understanding or considering our circumstances, we were repeatedly told, "No, you chose to sit separately," in a tone that felt dismissive and belittling. My daughter became visibly upset from seeing this disrespect from the staff, and she ultimately suggested that we leave. My wife and I are in our seventies, and I am disabled; while we do not expect special treatment, we do expect basic courtesy. When we walked out, several tables were still open. We left disappointed and disheartened. It is unfortunate that after decades of enjoying this restaurant as a family during our travels, this experience has ensured that we will not be returning. I sincerely hope that other patrons are treated with more consideration than we were. read more

Came here to get breakfast on a Saturday morning and the staff seemed a bit overwhelmed even though the restaurant wasn't full. The breakfast menu looked okay- and I was interested in getting a breakfast burrito to go and some coffee, but I wasn't able to order food to go at the register. Cute paintings on the wall and a nice bustling atmosphere. The coffee was decent for diner coffee. Prices on the menu are listed for cash, paying with credit card costs 4% extra. read more

The staff is rude, prices are high and the food isn't anything special. Even the bakery items are just ok. Don't know why it gets any high reviews. Not worth it. There are other places to eat in town. read more

I love the artwork here! The mural in the alleyway is so cool and the matching murals inside are so cute and fun to look at while enjoying some good savory food. Everyone working here was super kind and took great care of our big 9 person table. We got a diverse mix of breakfast orders. The big fluffy biscuits were a big hit and the French toast looked phenomenal! The prices were not cheap but it felt like a cute spot with great people and quality food so it was worth it. read more

A friend of mine recommended this place to me as I was planning a solo trip to Alabama Hills. This place was absolutely packed when I arrived. Luckily since I was alone, I got a seat at the bad next to the register. The customer service was INCREDIBLE. I couldn't get over how friendly, polite and attentive everyone was here. I ordered a breakfast burrito + a cold brew coffee and both were absolutely delicious. I also ordered a piece of cake to take with me while I was off-roading In the hills behind this place. I will definitely be returning the next time I'm the area. read more

The breakfast hit the spot after a long day of hiking Mt.Whitney the day before. We came in on a Sunday morning around 10am and got seated after waiting around 15-20mins.

The service was great and we got our food pretty soon after ordering. I got the Humphrey Bogart Skillet and it was wonderful. read more

It was ok. Decent place to grab a bite. Checked it out on the way up to Mammoth. Inside was simple with a homey type decor. A few tables for seating. Spacing was a bit tight. But there's additional seating in the little front patio area. I got the chorizo scramble. It was ok. Could have used some salsa but they did have some tapatio on the table. Decent portion size though. Service was good. Friendly staff. There's street parking or a small lot in back. read more

We go to Lone Pine frequently so this is not our first time in this restaurant. This time around, we arrived into Lone Pine somewhat exhausted and hungry from Death Valley. There were 6 of us with guests from overseas so was hoping to give our guests a good experience in the area. This restaurant has the most reviews on Yelp. Our guests also wanted to experience an American diner so we picked this spot. It was a hot day so my guests all entered into the restaurant with me not knowing it was a tiny spot. Right off the bat, one of the workers rudely told us to wait outside. We obliged. After waiting for about 15-20 minutes, they told us it will take about 60 minutes to prepare our food after being seated. The delivery of that message seemed like they didn't want our business and just wanted us to go away by giving a ridiculous wait time for food prep on top of the wait time to be seated. If they wanted our business, they would have taken our orders and prep it as we wait for a table. We got the message and went to another restaurant that was friendly and got us our food promptly. In retrospect, prior visits were also long wait with mediocre food and service. I also noticed that they sneak in the extra 4% charge notice at the back of their menu if you pay by credit card. read more

This small diner was packed on a Friday at lunch. Service was personable and efficient. The peach blackberry iced tea was delightfully refreshing made with blackberry nectar and just lightly sweet. We shared the TJ dip, a French dip with tender beef seasoned perfectly and served on a toasty garlicky hoagie roll along with fresh, crispy onion rings and an additional house salad with yummy ranch dressing. Everything was delicious, and all the food coming out of the kitchen looked tempting, especially the cherry pie. read more
