Popular coffee spot in Big Bear! It was frequently crowded whenever I drove by this place. I…read morestopped by to get some coffee after doing a hike in the afternoon and it was less busy. It's a pretty small space inside. They sell bagged coffee and merchandise too. Lots of friendly workers inside. I got an iced Mountain Magic latte, which is a latte with cinnamon and vanilla syrups. She said definitely that one when I was deciding between this one, Almond Joy and Banana Hazelnut. I got the largest size and got it with almond milk. It was ready really quickly afterwards so they're speedy! I really liked it. It wasn't too sweet and was nicely balanced. My bf got a latte with lavender and honey jasmine and that combo was incredible. Great spot!

So we decided to stop in here again. It had been five years since our last visit. I am super glad I…read morestopped in. I had the opportunity to visit with Mrs. Pickles and she was just a sweet gem. Although we got there at 11:30 and they had already sold out of all of their full pies and pot pies. They did have a good selection of some sliced pies left. So we ordered a couple slices of blueberry and thyme pie. Wow! What an outstanding pie great texture outstanding taste. It was simply amazing. Mrs. Pickles was very friendly and took time to explain the ordering process how we can call in orders and things like that. I am so glad we came in here and gave it another shot. If you are driving by this little place that looks like out of a storybook stop in you'll be glad you did there. Remember to lineup an hour before they open to get your best selection. Also, while you're there, walk around and look at the amazing job, they did outside the restaurant of planting some sustainable food. They did a wonderful job with their espalier apple tree they started along one side of the building. In addition, it looks like they have a fabulous looking raised bed garden that they've got started. Also, is your walking in? They've done an amazing job setting up sustainable plants and a spectacular looking irrigation system. This time we will be calling in and placing some orders beforehand. Great little shop you have their Mr. and Mrs. Pickles.

I sincerely apologize because I cannot for the life of me remember which pies we bought, but they…read morewere so delicious that we ate them all in one sitting. I believe we got two pies that were two different berry mixes among other things. My husband wolfed both down because he ate one and loved it so much that he had to eat the other one. Mind you, my husband has grown up eating pies his whole life. His grandma used to make them from scratch all the time when she was still alive. So pies are a very sentimental and favorite food of his. I got the chicken pot pie, absolutely delicious. I'm obsessed with chicken pot pies and this one super hit the spot. Hubs is so very sad that we don't live close to the Pickles at all. We just happened to be in Big Bear on vacation and decided to stop by to grab some pies to take home. Our cousin was with us and got one slice to share with her parents and they ate it all. It wasn't enough. We all wish we had more. We'll definitely be back when we're back in town. Shoutout to Mr & Mrs. Pickles, your love and craft really shows in your food. Mr. Pickles was so nice too! He was taking the orders and tending the register. It's also such a cute little whimsical cottage, I love it!

If I was opening a cafe/health foods and wellness store this is what I would want it to look and feel like inside. The people working are all amazing.

The guy at the acai bar actually saw me with my matcha and asked where he could try it just based off how it looked alone. family owned business please support them they actually deserve it. Thank you very much.

I found Tropicali on a complete whim on the way up to Big Bear, and we were so happy we did -- we ended up coming back every single day we were in town. The staff are absolutely bursting with energy. Walking in felt like talking to one of my own brothers or cousins. They made me, my girlfriend, and even my dog feel instantly welcome, and walked us through the menu and drink options like we were old friends. Honestly, I'd live in this restaurant if I could -- the decor is off the charts, and the creativity and homey feel are unmatched. I heard it started out as a tiny shack, and seeing what it's grown into makes total sense once you experience the place for yourself. We ordered a few drinks...definitely should've ordered more food, but everything was delicious. We'll be stopping here every time we're in the city. Congrats to the owner on such well-deserved success!

And honestly, getting a poke bowl at Big Bear woul not be my first choice of dinner, but this might be our go to place from now on! The kids love it, adults love it, food is great, vibe is A+, plenty of tables, and all the staff we've encountered are very nice, friendly, and helpful. Our party had little ones that needs stroller and high chair and this place is definitely accessible and accommodating for all ages. They were even kind enough to notify us to go ahead and grab a dining table with our stroller as you have to place the order via a self serve tablet. They also serve alcoholic beverages! Basically after you order, they'll call your name with a Hawaiian groovy twist to it, and you grab your own utensils, napkins, and water on a separate area. And then off to enjoy your food. They have 3 different dining areas, out on the patio, inside dining with varying table sizes, chairs, and booth, and a backyard with a nice enclosed grassy area with standing tables only. Again, the vibes here are really great! So detailed and unique! So the food, we ordered the Cuba and the Krakatoa, both have white rice with tuna but different mixture of sauces. Both bowls were delicious and tuna was cut into little cubes and are fresh! We ordered the grilled teriyaki rice for the kids that came with a mayo dipping sauce and pickled pineapple with a bit of a kick. The teriyaki sauce and chicken was well cooked and the taste were delicious! Our kids devoured their plates. This was definitely a great spot for poke when you're in the Big Bear area! We will be back and eat some more yummy poke bowls.

The place may be unassuming, but we were met with the friendliest service (thanks Katie!) and a plethora of delicious tea choices! This place is not like your standard Americanized boba tea shop. They offer REAL teas, made from steeping and not relying on heavy artificial flavor powders. With that said, your drink, especially milk teas, will taste lighter than an Americanized boba tea. Honey is used primarily to sweeten the drinks as well. I absolutely appreciate this practice because I love tasting the actual tea flavor. I ordered the Pumpkin Harvest milk tea and it was DIVINE! My hubby ordered the Passion Fruit green tea and it was so good too! If you're wanting something sweet and more Americanized, we were told the smoothie drinks are made with flavor powders. Also, highly recommend their hot chocolate with marshmallows and whipped cream. Delicious!
