    Bear Bear is an inviting, quaint restaurant that serves quality food with homemade recipes. There's more outside seating than in, both in the front and back. The veggie benedict was excellent, and everyone in my party also loved their food. Our waitress was very friendly and prompt, even with our group of ten. I definitely recommend Bear Bear for a fresh and delicious meal.

    This is a cute brunch spot you can't miss out on. I have been twice now and even years apart visits it was just as good as I remember. The service is very fast and the bear theme is adorable. Not to mention all the food being amazing! Definitely worth checking out when visiting Leavenworth!

    During our visit to Leavenworth, we stopped into Bear Bear for an early breakfast. This quaint restaurant is located a few blocks from front street. We were warmly greeted by our server upon entering the restaurant and quickly seated at our table. After contemplating what to eat (everything looked so good!) we ordered and enjoyed- Chicken and waffles- wow! What an amazing dish! The real Maple and caramel syrup really made the dish! Eggs Benny with bacon- loved this dish and the scratch hollindaise. We had a wonderful breakfast and we will definitely visit Bear Bear again when we return to the area!

    They had an easy waitlist system. The service was average and goood. It wasn't anything out of the normal standard brunch options you'd see on the other side of the mountains. But tasted fine and good. It met our needs and we were pretty satisfied after the meal. The food was a nice simple but cozy brunch experience.

    We arrived at Leavenworth after 2 hrs and 20 mins drive. There was one parking spot left at the Park and Ride so we were able to get free parking. Bear Bear was one of the few places opened early enough on a New Year's Eve so we had lunch there. My daughter had their House Waffle and the maple syrup was a full maple taste! Mine was Salmon Latkes. It was delicious! The latkes were very crispy and even my daughter enjoyed it. Service was very quick and there was a long wait especially they will close by noon due to New Year's Eve.

    Another stop on our Leavenworth trip was Bear Bear, where we decided to grab breakfast. One of the biggest perks was the location. It's conveniently right across the street from where we were staying. The restaurant itself is very cute and offers both indoor and outdoor seating. Since we were hungry and didn't want to wait, we chose to sit outside on the patio. Thankfully, it was an enclosed tent area with two heaters running, which made it comfortable. We were seated quickly and looked over the menu right away. I ordered the Bread Pudding French Toast, which came with whipped vanilla crème fraîche, maple caramel syrup, and fruit compote. The bread pudding itself was good, but in my opinion, the fruit compote wasn't necessary. It ended up overpowering the flavor of the bread pudding rather than complementing it. My cousin ordered the Chicken and Waffles, which I also got to try. It was okay, but not quite what we were expecting. The chicken was more like a chicken tender instead of the usual chicken thigh we've had at other chicken-and-waffle spots. The waffle was very soft and lacked the crispiness that helps balance the dish and hold up to the chicken. Overall, our experience was just okay. Nothing bad, but nothing particularly memorable either. On the plus side, the service was good, and our food came out fairly quickly after we received our hot cider. A decent breakfast option if you're nearby, but not a must-visit during a Leavenworth trip.

    If you're looking for a cozy breakfast with warm and welcoming staff, I recommend that you give Bear Bear a try. They have a small indoor seating and covered outdoor seating as well. We were greeted and seated immediately and our server Emily was super patient with our party of 5 and answered all of our questions. Amongst the group we ordered the side Potato latkes with Herb Creme Fraiche, side fried chicken tender, Fried Chicken and Waffle. White Chedder Grits and Greens and Spice Salmon Latkes and the Big Bear Brekky Sando. The side fried chicken tender was a little dry by itself, but the fried chicken and waffles were a perfect combination of sweet and savory. The latkes were crispy on the outside and soft and tender on the inside. The white cheddar grits were okay, but the breakfast sandwich was nice and filling. Over all great customer service and comforting food.

    We stopped in on our way through town on a Sunday morning. While busy we were able to get it quickly. Service was phenomenal as well as the food! Cute decor inside. Will definitely eat here again as so many things looked delicious. I order the white cheddar grits and greens and they were TOP NOTCH I added toast with butter and jam as well. The jam was very good!

    An amazing find, and highly recommend. Cane during the off season so not busy at all. Love the cozy feel and service was friendly and quick. Food was beautifully presented and had so many flavors. The mushroom melt was my favorites.

    Banana toast crunch

    Came pretty early into Leavenworth excited for a day of exploring, but also hungry and in need of more coffee. We found a parking spot, and headed out with the intention of walking around and finding something to eat. In front of us was a restaurant (this restaurant) so I looked at the menu and was instantly pretty sold. The use of Berbere seasoning alone had me. But, we elected to not go into the first spot we looked and so we walked around and finally I broke it to my husband I wanted to go back. So we did and glad we did! This one gets a 4 star for all the reasons. Interesting and creative menu, delightful service, delicious food and drinks. This isn't a place that's good for what it is it's just great outright. We split the white cheddar grits and greens, that had a berbere spiced chicken sausage. Incredible - so many wonderful flavors that went together magically. I could eat that on the daily. And we also split the banana toast crunch - basically banana bread French toast crusted in Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal. Amazing! We learned it's not part of the normal menu - it totally should be. Lights out! I got the Klondike drink which was basically a boozy peppermint hot cocoa. Very very sweet - but YUM. I wouldn't get it again because of how sweet it was but that's just me - not the drink. Would love to relocate this place right down the street lol it is that good!

    My favorite meal is hands down always gonna be breakfast and since this place was so close to where we were staying, it was a unanimous YES when we suggested trying out this cute restaurant! We got here right when they were opening and Danny (not sure if he is the owner but he was awesome!) was setting up the sign outside but told us we were welcome to come on in. We had a wheelchair and a stroller in our party and he said he would get the back ready so we would be able to use that entrance to get the wheelchair in. He pushed some tables together since we had a bigger party and made sure we had a place for the stroller and was so accommodating and kind. The space here was so cute and welcoming, there were cool pictures posted up on the walls along with some great quotes too! Not only was the service and decor incredible, so was the food!!! Danny told us one of the specials was pumpkin waffles and since that is my jam, i had to jump on that! But so many other things looked so good too so i ended up getting a few things! We def ordered a lot of food and you could say we enjoyed it because we ate everything. Oink oink is right!! Check out all my food pics of the breakfast sando, eggs Benedict, French toast, and all the other deliciousness we ordered!! Bear bear also serves lunch so you can swing by for that meal too! Really awesome place, def stop by for some great food and wonderful service if you're in the area. Thank you again for everything, Danny, cant wait to come back!

    Place is small and you're most likely going to have to put yourself on a waiting list. But it's well worth the wait. Was seated outside and thankfully there is a covered gazebo with heaters because it was raining pretty hard. I was skeptical on ordering the PBH Waffle (I'm pretty sure that's what it's called) and glad I did. With every bite, I was left wanting more. Service was great and our server was all smiles. Highly recommend the Bear Bear.

    Visiting the area for a large concert at the Gorge. Found this little spot for breakfast…read more Everything was very good. The kids meals were the perfect size for me. Loved the hash browns and German sausage. My sunny-side up egg was no where near the runniness to be called so, but maybe that's what the locals prefer. Staff was adequate, but could use some more personality. Look really needs to be updated. I would stop by again. You should too. -- Oh! Came back to edit because I forgot the sourdough toast! It was scrumdiddliumptious. Pick that over the plain or wheat. I did not have the coffee, but my breakfast-mate said it was satisfactory. Which is important information for any breakfast establishment.

    Wow does this place need some help! I am so sad to write this review because this place was a…read morestaple in our book for so long, but today was bad enough that I am sure we will not come back. The wait here has always been long due to the size of the place, but today it was due to poor training and staffing. We walked in and these two girls are shouting at guests they are the only people working today and there is going to be a wait. Of course I sympathize. A few small tables are sat quickly but everyone else is told to wait. A party of 6 told them they were on a schedule and the waitresses told them it was fine. Being a small group we got sat, but there was a lobby FULL of people who stood there while we ate our whole breakfast. There were about 5 open tables but the waitresses didn't try to bus them and were running around like crazy and returning to the kitchen time and again empty handed. Eventually they shouted to the waiting area of people they were going to bus the whole restaurant (seriously) and seat everyone at once. Obviously no training here at all because the kitchen must have had no orders for 30-45mins and all of a sudden are going to get hit with a whole restaurant of orders at once so now the wait worsens - what a mess. The table of 6 that arrived at the same time as us was sat as we were finishing, but we never served. They left un-fed after an hour and a half. The food was fine but there was no excuse for the wait (forgot to mention this is a Monday at like 10:30 so not a breakfast or lunch rush happening, also not a weekend). This place has always been a dive and totally falling apart in regards to decor but it was forgivable because the food was good. I feel bad for writing this because those poor girls were working hard but they are completely untrained and the place was understaffed. There are SO MANY fantastic new restaurants in Leavenworth they are really going to have to step up their game to survive!!
