    Cute Valentine's Day tree!

    I didn't take a photo of the food because it was devoured before I even thought of my phone. My husband and I visited this deli because we wanted something quick and delicious before our flight out. Man was this place sooo sooo good. My husband got the special of the day I think it was the southwest turkey dip? Something like that. He ate it in a blink of an eye. It was cheesy, turkey, delicious. I got the lil bear sandwich and it had so much cheese, ham, salami...so good. It was $30 for 2 sandwiches, 2 drinks and the chips come free with the meal. It was well worth it. Amazing.

    This place does not disappoint. If your reading this message then you are looking for something good to eat in the area. Finish reading my post then look no further. Head to big bear deli now! You won't be disappointed. Just hope that they are open when you decide to go. They close early. They were closing minutes before our party walked in and invited us to stay and eat and take our time. Ordered a TBR melt! I don't think I'll be ordering anything else any time soon, it's so good !!! A hot sandwich. Full of meat! Also ordered the broccoli cheese soup and cob salad. The sandwiches are heavy and big portions. I've noticed the salads have gotten a little smaller but they are still massive. Worth the $ for sure! Fresh made ranch is a great touch! I have little ones so I feel like a pain asking for forks and plates and Napkins and everything else but they were so kind about it. Last time here was 4 months ago (I just moved to the area) and they have remodeled. It's nice and cozy. Super super friendly staff! All homemade food with great portion sizes. Very tasty!! You can tell that everyone working here has pride in there place ! You walk in and order and seat yourself. Make sure to order the root Beer! Locally made! So good !

    Delicious broccoli soup

    O.M.G. Bowls,…read morekitchen utensils, pots, pans... everything you could want. First of @ll, my girlfriend is an excellent cook -- trained by chefs throughout the U.S. as a result of her former boyfriend who went from restaurant to restaurant worldwide to help them improve their menus, food selection, methods of preparing and cooking the food and its presentation. She is an excellent cook, always taking cooking classes, watching videos, television cooking shows, etc, etc. If there's a kitchen utensil and/or machine, device, or gadget, she knows about it. We'd spent over an hour in the store -- but, unfortunately, whatever purchase we made would have to be carried back to Arizona in our airline luggage, or shipped home. As we were visiting someone, we were limited in time. As she went from table to table selecting things she couldn't live without, I was close by and made note about what she wanted or thought was very attractive. Having broken one of five of her favorite set of bowls, I was trying to redeem myself in replacing the full set. These bowls were among those she used for everyday use, so she really needed just four bowls. She couldn't make up her mind about which she wanted. I got the attention of one of the staff, who collected the set I thought was most attractive, and asked that they be hidden from sight so that I could surprise her, having the bowls shipped to us in Arizona. I told the staff that they needed to be carefully packed to avoid being cracked or broken by the gorillas that load USPS, UPS, and FedUp trucks... so the bowls were set right in front of the cash register where she saw them while paying for her gadgets she couldn't live without. No harm done. Hope she forgets about them by the time we return to Arizona. Earlier, I went to their pastry counter and tried to make up my mind what to get our group of four for breakfast or a snack. I couldn't make up my mind so I bought eight of three variety of scones, which traveled with us to western Washington. This is a great place for anyone who enjoys cooking -- or having beautiful things for their home, including every sort of dish, vase, pot, bowl, pitcher... you get the idea. There are multiple varieties of every item imaginable, something for everyone. Prices are what they are. Quality costs, especially when it comes to cookware and cutlery. Yanno? The prices, I believe, are reasonable, having purchased a few items for her recently. The staff are amazing, from the own to the smart young man who took my purchases and helped me get them to Arizona. Oh, by way: the scones were excellent. We're coming back in August and September. With a list.

    I used to love this place. We had a group that met every Saturday for many years. We brought in…read morebusiness and were respectful. We shopped there and enjoyed our time together. Then a new owner came in. She told us that everything would be great. We were excited. Once there, felt sort of unwelcome but kept going anyway. We all sat at this little copper table with chairs and they brought us food and coffee. It was the norm and we were happy to have a circle table where we could all chat. We had a new lady join that week and she was told by the new owner that she doesn't want us at that table and to pass it on. It was to be for wine drinkers only. Well, why serve us there the whole time only to tell one person, not even the organizer about it. Owner sent a man over to us and we talked to him about it and we all brought up ideas and talked back and forth and thought it was ok at the end. The following week, a new gal came and didn't feel well. She asked the owner to tell the group she had come and that she wasn't feeling well. The owner asked who the group was and she started badmouthing us to the new girl! Another woman showed up and the new gal told her what happened and they both left. The group now meets elsewhere, but it is a shame that you treated a local group after the owner moves here from Spokane and wants to fit in, like garbage after meeting there for YEARS! Not only that, this establishment now closes early and doesn't stay open for farmers markets or anything local going on. It really is a sad deal that someone can come in and ruin a business that someone else worked so hard to build.
