It is HUGE, maintains a great consistency and the chocolate frosting is evenly dispersed to make a tasty shareable treat. The Maple Bacon Donut is a standout. The glaze is divine, not too sweet, and complements the slice of bacon on top perfectly. Service is super-friendly and the shop can get very busy due to their ideal location and high quality of coffee and donuts. Their loyalty program rules!

Great coffee and a hidden gem!…read more Tucked away next to a gas station, this little blue café is so easy to drive right past--but that would be a mistake. Thanks to a recommendation from a good friend, I stopped in, and I'm so glad I did. From the warm, welcoming greeting the moment I walked in to the spotless restroom, every detail made for a wonderful experience. The coffee was outstanding. I ordered a double cortadito (macchiato) with lavender, and it was smooth, perfectly balanced, and absolutely delicious. Yes, it's a little pricey for the size, but the quality and flavor make it well worth it. I'll definitely be stopping here again the next time I'm in Mammoth Lakes!

Menu is full of coffee drinks and health breakfast items like açaí bowls and breakfast burritos. Lots of options for those into healthy food. The food was very good, wish we had spots like this in San Francisco. Service was quick and knowledgeable. Food Review: Acai Bowl ($13.50) was huge and full of acai. Their version is not sweet, compared to Palmetto. Lots of toppings. 8.5/10 Basin Bowl ($14) with Avocado and Cilantro pesto ($2.50) is a hearty lunch dish filled with solid ingredients. Perfect for vegetarians. 10/10 Gluten free/Vegan Morning Glory muffin ($5.95) was not sandy. Pretty decent version. 10/10 Overall - Very Good Food - Very Good Decor - Very Good Service - Very Good Value - Good Would we return? - Yes

What a disappointment to come to this store while visiting the area! The meat department is foul,…read moreselling old meat. Some meat to the point of gas release and slime? This is a public safety risk. This is no longer meat that should be sold, and should be in the garbage. Then what is the deal with no cases of water? Are cases of water not drank in this town? We needed some fruit, and vegetables. We were able to scrape up some produce. Was not the easiest because things were not getting replenished. Many holes on the shelves. We saw employees having a good time bs'ing. No manager around, Supervisor....not for me...for the employees who are messing around! Place is a hot mess, and in need of health department inspection.

There were people eating at the tables and a line ordering their food/donuts. I appreciated that because the variety was on point! Donuts aren't my biggest craving, but when I saw the display of donuts, I wanted to try so many! We opted for just a few. -maple donut filled with Nutella (I know, WTH?! But honestly it was such a good pairing and sooooo good!) -extra maple glazed "8 donut" -Krueller donut hole (chilled and filled, yum!!!!) -cream puff that just looked so perfect and although I've never had one until now, it was light, airy, and perfectly sweet and delicious! I wish I had it in me to try more, but u til next time! Oh yeah, the wait time was fast because they are efficient while being patient and friendly!

If you're craving pizza or pasta in Mammoth, Vulcania is my pick…read more QUICK TAKE Get: Ravioli Bolognese, pizza, pasta, Caesar Skip: Voltaggi-O's giant meatball Know: The pastas are handmade, the pizzas are Neapolitan-style, and substitutions can be limited. Ravioli Bolognese: The standout dish. Rich, meaty, satisfying, and exactly the kind of homemade pasta dish that makes this place worth visiting. Pepperoni Pizza: Excellent crust, good char, and crispy pepperoni cups. Simple and really well executed. This is genuinely good pizza, not just good pizza for a mountain town. Caesar: One of the more unusual Caesars I've had. It arrived with essentially whole heads of lettuce, celery, and a homemade crunchy component that reminded us of a savory funnel cake. The homemade dressing was excellent. Different, fun to share, and memorable. Pasta: This is where Vulcania really shines. Everything tastes homemade, and I'd be comfortable ordering just about any pasta on the menu. Chicken Parmesan: Pretty good overall, with a creamy, rich sauce over the top. It was a little too heavy for me, but everyone else at the table loved it. Meatball: I would skip this dish. The meatball was undercooked and felt like it was lacking a binding ingredient. One thing worth knowing is that the kitchen isn't particularly flexible about modifying dishes. That makes sense for a chef-driven restaurant, but it's worth considering if you have picky eaters or prefer lots of substitutions. Overall, Vulcania is still the best pizza and pasta we've had in Mammoth. The handmade pasta is the real draw, the pizza is excellent, and dishes like the Caesar give the menu enough personality to make it more interesting than standard Italian-American food.

Five stars for the food, three stars for the host/ making reservations with a live person…read more Similar to the negative reviews, the host needs training. I called and inquired about a few things and when we arrived, we were told a different story. Long story short, use OpenTable to make your reservations and avoid the headache. Outside Pods- If you're interested in sitting in the pods outside, it's an additional $50-100 (depending on the day) and can fit 6-8 people. We had several kids in our party and they enjoyed the novelty of it. Our waiter Cam was great and made up for the poor service with the host. He had great recommendations as all were spot on. Cam recommended "family style" as many of the entrees are large and it gives you a chance to sample everything. We started with the asparagus summer rolls and tricolore salad. Both were delicious and refreshing. For the entrees we shared the cacio e pepe, margherita pizza, orechiette nero and chicken parmesan. Again, everything was excellent. For dessert, the gelato comes with three huge scoops along with three zeppoles (Italian donuts). The food was excellent and probably one of my new favorites in Mammoth.

We will definitely make this a regular stop as we pass through Independence monthly on our way back and forth to Bridgeport. There is street parking, some tables inside and out and restrooms inside the restaurant behind the counter. I will update this review when we have their breads, pies and other sandwiches.
