    Good Life? Definitely not. 1 Turkey Sandwich 1 hot chocolate 1 coffee 1 slice of apple pie Total was $34 When I picture a $17 dollar turkey sandwich in my mind, it includes more than the basic mayo, lettuce, tomato, turkey. Very disappointed.

    French Dip Sandwich

    We came here during our trip to Mammoth. We ordered breakfast (eggs with pancakes) and a French dip sandwich. Both were very good. The restaurant has plenty of seating, both indoors and outdoors. Our server was also very nice and attentive.

    Tuna Melt with fries
    Darren K.

    Good mix of locals and tourists when we went to the Good Life Cafe. Ordered the Cobb Salad, Tuna Melt, and Chili Verde Omelette. The Cobb Salad for $19.95 was a decent size and was large enough to feed two. The tuna melt was pretty standard and came on large Texas toast sized slices of bread. The chili verse sauce was good, but the pork wasn't very flavorful and the hash browns were burnt. Overall the meal was decent and would be a place to go back to even though it was a little pricey.

    Great customer service with nice delicious enjoyable food. Big portions of the food so make sure to ask how big your is, you may want to share. The inside place was clean and the patio was perfect to relax. Unfortunately no dogs.

Everything is organic and clearly thought out. The ones we tried were incredibly fresh and tasty, and the colors are just beautiful and vibrant. You can tell real care goes into every single thing they make. It's the kind of food that's hard to find even in LA unless you're paying Erewhon prices. This place inspired me to start making similar organic bowls at home regularly. We're heading back to Mammoth this week for a couple of nights and already planning to try more of the menu. Highly recommend if you're in town, don't miss it!

    STEPH JUDGEMENT: Good noodle soups, but limited vegetarian selection…read more It was a chilly enough spring evening in mammoth where a hot noodle soup sounded very appealing. They have a good-sized, pleasant space and had plenty of seating when we stopped by. The hubby and I both got the veggie noodle soup, but I had it with egg noodles (instead of default rice noodles) and added shrimp, which made it significantly more expensive. I get it, mountain prices, but not sure if that was worth it. The standard veggie noodle soup, while tasty, could have really used a bit more veggie's--it was basically a few thin slices of tofu, some mushrooms and a whole lot of cilantro. We were really hungry so were hoping to supplement the soups with a little something more, but they had only one appetizer, and it had meat. I think they're missing out on some additional sales by not offering at least one other vegetarian appetizer. Overall just ok for us.

The food is decent, it's never going to absolutely wow you but it will be sufficient and well priced.

The ordering system is great and straightforward, you order and pay on your phone and then food appears straight to your table! Genius, convenient and perfect for groups as there's no splitting the bill awkwardly at the end. And the dog friendliness is so clutch, our pups always enjoy the sunshine and rest. Really great spot I would recommend in a sea of terrible touristy Mammoth dining establishments.

We left kinda confused but the food was great and that doesn't change the food review and the vibes here. There was an indoor and outdoor seating and cool views to people watch and loved that it was Dog friendly so many cute pups. They had these mixed drinks in can and Lemme tell you they were AMAZING we took them back to our campsite and was the perfect drink to just hang with. Can't wait to pick some up again.
