The grilled pastrami sandwich was the best I've had in a long while. Perfect proportions, great flavor, couldn't have asked for more. Owners are friendly with excellent service. The restaurant is clean, and the ambiance is great. It really feels like you're sitting at a friend's dinner table. I'll definitely be swinging by on a Friday to enjoy some live music! read more

the place is small but has some space on the outside to sit. We got a Root beer & some OJ which were apparently $3-4 each, the biscuit and gravy was $6 but you pay extra for any meat which was fine, and then we got a crumb cake. the food was alright but i guess it works out bc of the price the place is cute on the outside but the inside isn't as much - but I guess that's what I should expect at a small town. I do appreciate how the owners were tangible and kind! read more

Stopped by recently for coffee and a pastry with a friend. There are cute seating spaces but they had Fox News playing in the front area so that immediately left us with a bad taste and searching for a space away from it. Found a nook in back but it looked as though it hasn't been thoroughly cleaned in quite some time. We ordered coffee and a pastry but it was all so sub par and unremarkable that I cannot remember the specifics of what we ordered, just that we didn't finish any of it. The folks working there would leave or be in the back somewhere we couldn't see or hear them so our attempts to get assistance went unanswered. Would not recommend for coffee, pastry, or ambiance. read more

Hidden gem! This is one of those mom and pop establishments that I completely support! The coffee and food is good, and the customer service is AMAZING! it is almost like you are family, not just a number for profit as many corporations see you as. The environment is cozy, warm, and inviting. There are plenty of seats inside. They even offer music jam settings, if I knew how to play musical instruments, I would totally participate.

We stayed in Big Bear this past weekend & I wanted to ride our motorcycles down from the 38. We wanted to avoid the crappy customer service at our hotel's restaurant & avoid the long wait times at nearby restaurants. I happens to zoom in on Google Maps of Places to Eat on the 38 as we'd enter Mentone & came across this gem! We noticed Heska's would be open early on Sunday morning & it worked for us! Located right next to Arco- it's the bright burnt orange building (signage located at sidewalk). Private parking lot available. As for the customer (a few reviews before mine) that stated there are no signs of masks required- there is one handwritten & taped to the front of the door. No dine in- but, outdoor seating is available on the front porch & outback. We were greeted by Heska & she was full of conversation! I decided to enjoy a honey cinnamon latte. And nosh on an order of biscuits & gravy with bacon crumbles & a side of well seasoned home fries. The food & latte order hit the spot & was a perfect serving. I didn't want to be overstuffed knowing we still had 2 more hours of getting home. One thing Heska is amazed by is all of the support from her community. Her breads are made fresh! Bathroom is available for customers. read more

Always quick serves and orders correct. They have a great sandwich menu. Along with breakfast food and sandwiches. They have coffee, smoothies, soups and salads also.

I have lived in the Yucaipa/Redlands/Highland area for decades, first time we have been in Heska's, although I have driven by literally hundreds of times. I have seen the Inland Empire change dramatically over the years. Some of the things that do not change are the amazing Mom & Pop businesses that America was built on. Heska's is no exception. Fantastic food, great customers, an ambience that rivals any small business I have been in over the last 50+ years, and the best part: Joe and Heska. I have this term I use for the best people I run into during my travels around this great nation: 'Cool Human'. It doesn't matter where I am, the West Coast, the Pacific Northwest, the Midwest, the South, or the East Coast, there are so many good people in the world, you just have to open your eyes at times. Joe and Heska are at the top of my Cool Humans list. Stop in, you won't be disappointed. And a final thought: Do Good, and Good will come to you. read more

Yelp is here for people to give their opinion/ honest feed back on business's service/ quality correct? So I'll exercise my rights to this platform for just that. Again, here goes another honest review and it's sad that it's yet another low rating: Sugar Shack in Mentone: Hard to find location Bad customer service Confusing food options in menu Pricy for the portion and quality of food Long wait time Poor food quality Good lattes If you've never been here, be aware that you have to ask the lady ringing you up about additional food options that are not listed on menu, such as breakfast meats and eggs. Because it's not listed, it comes off as though all this place has is what we see on the one printed menu on counter top/ or chalk board. Very confusing in my opinion. Hope this tip helps keep anyone else from being confused, and avoids an attitude from the worker to you for your confusion. The only thing satisfying was the vanilla latte. Everything else was very poor quality in my experience there, hence reason for my rating. Of course, I very one is entitled to be the judge for themselves. read more

I am so incredibly happy with this place and happy that it's close to my house. It is a converted home and so it has a large open area and then a couple of small rooms. The large area has a working fireplace and musical instruments. The ambience is so warm and inviting that I am mediately felt at home. The food is definitely the star here. They make all of their own baked goods including the rolls and bread's that the sandwiches are made on! They have a lunch special for $8.50 that is half a sandwich plus soup or salad plus a drink. Fantastic deal! If you want a whole sandwich it's $10.50. During the winter I've gone there several times and have gotten the soup every single time and it's been sublime. I think my favorite was the chicken and dumpling soup but the potato cheese was a close second. My favorite sandwich is the Philly cheesesteak but every sandwich I've gotten has been great. I keep bringing more people here because it's just so good. Last but not least, are the owners. It's Heska's and her husband Joe. Joe makes all the baked goods and Haska makes all the savory food. Heska is a real personality and will brighten your day while she gives you a hard time. Come and give it a try you won't be sorry read more

I had the chai latte (so good), a cheese danish (dangerous), and an Everlasting Ferments kombucha...the Habanero Ginger is a sleeper hit. You can also snag breakfast burritos if you're lucky (they sell out), or freshly made stuffed waffles from a vendor outside, which somehow makes the whole experience feel extra charming.

The flavor was Salted Honeybee off their spring specialty drink menu and it tasted both delightful and unique. It had a slightly nutty, cocoa-like flavor that wasn't as earthy as regular matcha or as bold as coffee. The cold foam was absolutely delicious and paired perfectly with the drink. Definitely a great spot if you're looking to try something a little different than your usual coffee order!

Had an early birthday lunch here with my friend and her boyfriend, we all enjoyed our meals!…read more My friend ordered the French toast, her partner got the breakfast burrito, but they ended up switching because she liked his better! While her bf usually doesn't like lavender, he said the French toast was sweet enough that the lavender wasn't overpowering or too strong. I tried the Tuscan sammie, it was sooo good! Very light and juicy at the same time Fair warning, they don't bring the drinks to you, and we hadn't heard ours being called so they sat at the counter for a while oops! My friend and I were surprised because they put cinnamon on top of her hot cocoa and my iced mocha (I generally don't like cinnamon, so I wish I knew this beforehand to ask not to include it). Either ways, the drinks were rich and flavorful! They also made pretty latte art in the shape of a heart on my friend's bf's latte Our server was hilarious! He brought out plates and I was so excited thinking it was ours so I said "oh!" and he gently corrected me saying it was for the next table over. I was a little embarrassed so I stayed quiet when he brought our food, and he joked "you're not gonna say it this time?" BAHAH had our whole table laughing They accidentally gave us a grilled cheese instead of the Tuscan sandwich I had ordered, and fixed it for us before we even noticed. Strangely though, they took back the grilled cheese? We hadn't touched it, but it feels like a waste if they just tossed it, and I sure hope they didn't end up giving it to whoever had originally ordered it since it sat at our table for a few minutes...
