Lovely little cafe behind the bookstore. Food, service, ambiance are all excellent. Coffee drinks are all well made. Definitely try the Liege Waffle. read more

Small little place off Main Street. It is tricky to get here because the front is a bookstore. The coffee here was strong, robust. The other people in my group got an iced mocha and regular mochas which were also good. "This mocha is Splendid"-Ricardo. As far as sandwich, I got a grilled cheese which was a simple with a blend of cheeses. Their specialty waffle smelled great when it came to the table. The dough was nice and soft with some caramelized sugar on the outside. If you want to stop by to eat a small meal, then I would recommend a coffee and the waffle. For a bigger meal, add a sandwich. I recommend this spot. read more

The lattes were delicious! We had breakfast in the small establishment (7 tables) located in the back of Spellbinder Books (bookstore is open at 9, cafe at 7, so use the rear entrance if you're here before 9). There's games to play and wifi while waiting (which came in handy with a toddler). The lattes were creamy and full of flavor. They use Blacksheep coffee from down the street. The waffle was delicious, to be eaten by hand (not a plate waffle), it had a good combination of sweet and crunchy. The eggs are microwaved, while sounding like a turnoff, they were very fluffy and textured (scrambled for the kid, poached for the paleo bfast). The paleo breakfast was greens topped with eggs and a super flavorful cilantro dressing. The menu is small but everything looked amazing. The owner and employee were very nice and accommodating. Don't drive through Bishop without stopping here first! read more

So happy we tried this place, we ordered the breakfast panini, eggs on avocado & a waffle. Best customer service and such a clean and nice environment. Highly recommend and will be telling others about this gem! read more

The Norwegian Avocado Toast is delicious! It's must try. The place is small and nice. Can't wait to try other things there.

Great friendly place for a casual bite to eat. I love the avocado toast and hand-held waffle. The cafe also offers dairy alternatives for its espresso drinks and honey, agave, simple syrup perfect for an iced latte. Great spot! read more

Pupfish Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bishop, California

Very fresh food. Made to order. I like the smoked salmon and avocado on multigrain toast "Norwegian" . It's on the breakfast menu, but I have it for lunch. Comes with an orange slice. I also get there herbal ice tea. It does take extra time, but it's worth it. Service is always friendly. It is in the back of the book store; which is always fun to shop in after words. It is also next to the Gear Exchange store (its new location) which is full oh hiking and backpacking gear. read more

This is a favorite family stop whenever we're in Bishop. We love the Belgian Liege waffles and all of the various breakfast paninis. The people who work here are fun and friendly and they can craft a pretty delicious cappuccino to boot! This little cafe is a gem! read more

I have been here a few times and I love it each time. The staff who work here work very hard. The wait can be a little long, even on a Monday (which surprised me) but the food is worth it. I've lucked out each time I've been and been able to get a seat, but it is limited. I got the Italian avocado toast and it's amazing. I will come here for breakfast whenever I'm in Bishop. Good job! read more

Pupfish Cafe - Mediterranean toast with a poached egg - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bishop, California

This is a little gem of a place. Good, tasty food with a variety of breakfast and lunch items to choose from. The prices are decent and they even have coffee drinks! read more

This staff works so hard, despite a busy day the staff manages to keep everyone calm and deliver great service !

On the positive side the young woman that served us was sunny and attentive and answered all our questions knowledgeably. Eggs are steamed hard and flavorless, ham is of great quality. None of the flavors blended in our Egg, cheddar, ham panini with cilantro caper spread. The panini bread WAS awesome. The brewed coffee is VERY strong, nutty and bitter. Latte unbearably strong and bitter. Waffle was ok, just too dense to enjoy. My best guess is that if you are inclined toward simple food with distinct and separate, unexpected flavors this will be your jam. Library quiet, could be a great work environment! read more

The employees are very nice and the food was yummy, made fresh. All 3 of us in the party enjoyed our food. But I'm writing this a few weeks later and can't remember what the others ate; I had the Turkey and Provolone Panini, delish. The wait time was a bit longer than most but be patient, it should be worth it. read more

Suuuuper fresh and delish! It's behind a bookstore with a private lot. I really enjoyed my tuna melt it was so yummy. The service was great and so was as the coffee! read more

Too expensive for what was basically standard cafe food. Very small inside, bathroom was gross

Cute little restaurant in the back of a book store. Delicious food, lovely customer service.

Great food. Cool space. Amazingly wonderful folks working there. Definitely check it out. Just great.

What awesome off the beaten path joint. Great food and java. A bit hidden since it's behind the bookstore. But totally hit the spot before long drive down the 395 back to LA. Definitely hit this place over Schat's or whatever up the street that's a bit crowded and a tourist trap. read more

Got the tomato bisque (their soup of the day on wednesday's) and the 1/2 spinach salad which didn't include the hard boiled egg. While the bisque was good and the salad was simply "okay", we left full and content. i think trying their specialty waffle is the best bet for enjoying a meal that couldn't be made at home. Otherwise, the food is pretty average and i probably wouldn't go back :( read more

Yummy! We ordered an egg and ham breakfast panini, tuna melt panini, cappuccino and black tea. Everything was great and the staff was very friendly. I liked reading about the pup fish on their menus too. read more

This cafe is tucked in & behind a little book store, so look for the signs! My boyfriend & I shared the Paleo breakfast as well as the Italian Avocado Toast and Turkey with Provolone Panini! The food really was great! Only thing I'd give people a heads up for is it seems everything is microwaved, not a bad thing! oh! Also got the Chai Latte, delicious! read more

Super cute little breakfast joint. We were in the middle of a drive up north and stopped by this place for breakfast.

Perfect stop for six of us. Avocado toast varieties and salads good. Really good coffee and attached to a nice friendly bookstore. Also game shelf for patrons. Coffee shop feel but worth the breakfast/lunch stop! read more

This place is seriously amazing! The ladies working here are so kind. The liège waffles are mind-blowingly savory with fluffy edges and a crunchy sugary center. The breakfast sandwiches came out hot and fresh. I've attached some photos of my friend's face - I hope you can see how happy she is eating here! read more

See all

My favorite cafe ever! Nice staff, smooth almond milk latte and the waffles? OMG, but go early before they sell out! The salads are great and their gluten free options are a big plus read more

The description on Yelp should mention mostly vegiterian menu ...if you like that type of stuff this the place for you...I didn't like it .

For the best breakfast in Bishop the Pupfish is the place to go. I love the egg avocado cheese panini breakfast sandwich along with a delicious cup of french roast coffee. This little cafe had a wonderful calming atmosphere and the staff is so friendly. read more

This place is a little gem in Bishop. Their food is really fresh with great selections such as various spreads for breakfast sandwiches and lots of various kinds of toasts. Their customer service is also outstanding- I made a mistake on my toast order and the woman who served me graciously let me exchange for the quiche, which was outstanding. If you are driving through Bishop and need breakfast, a snack or some excellent coffee, definitely check this cafe out! read more

I visited this place for the first time and had a really great spinach salad with smoked salmon...great portion with walnuts, eggs, cranberries. The bread and coffee is from Great Basin so you can enjoy their good food without the long wait! read more

Stopped here for lunch as we were driving up to Mammoth for the weekend. We were so excited about this place after reading the raging reviews. Sadly, it did not live up to our expectations... Everything was just okay, nothing extraordinary. For reference I had a greek salad with smoked salmon, and by boyfriend had a chicken salad sandwich. read more
