We went for breakfast being that we are camping at Silver Lake Resort. I had the Silver Lake Special that had 2 pancakes, 2 eggs, & 3 sausages. The pancakes were very good, my eggs came exactly how I order over medium, and the sausageswere very tastybut not too salty. My wife had the Chile Relleno with 2 eggs and country potatoes. She said it was the best relleno. Service was super fast and friendly offering refills of coffee and tea. The decor is like a cozy cabin; warm and inviting. A perfect meal on a cold and windy day! read more

Nice condos away from the mammoth village. Quiet area. Only 5 min. Drive from the village. Well equipped kitchen. We didn't cook. Too hot to cook. I gave only 4 stars because no A/C in the units! 2 ceiling fans. unit temp 78 f. Too hot for me. No food service in the resort. Great jaccuzis. Friendly staff. Helped with ideas. Went to Mono Lake. June lake, Convict Lake.( 3 miles walk around- a must!) Silver lake resort( cabins for rental)has the best meals in their restaurant. Scenic gondola. A must! Bit pricy $39/ pp but totally worth it. Spent 3 hrs at the summit. 11,000 ft elevation. read more

We've been coming to Mammoth and June Lake for 30 years, but typically take our sandwich out on the trail with us and don't eat out. Last year, we decided to come for breakfast because we heard their pancakes were really good. Unfortunately, due to the wait, we didn't get a table until noon and they stop serving breakfast at noon. Lunch was good, but we were looking for pancakes. Today, we arrived at 11:15 AM on a Friday and the line was quite short. We were seated pretty quickly and our server was Kim who was nice and efficient. We offered breakfast for lighter eaters, which included two pancakes, one egg, two bacon or sausage, sausages, and a piece of watermelon. We were surprised how quickly the food came out, and under 10 minutes. The coffee was pretty good for diner coffee - not too strong or bitter. The watermelon was nice, the sausage was good, but we preferred the bacon, the eggs were cooked nicely, and the buttermilk pancakes were very good. We're very happy that they have a smaller size breakfast for those of us who are lighter eaters. We enjoyed and ate every bite! read more

Silver Lake Resort Cafe - Delicious pancake meal for lighter eaters. - Cafes Near Me - June Lake, California

I believe this was my 2nd visit to this charming general store / cafe / bait & tackle shop. It seem to serve not only the nearby Silver Lake campground and marina but travelers & fishermen who venture on the June Lake Loop. Salesperson was very friendly, the store seemed well stocked, organized, and the food smells delicious! I was only there to purchase a hard to find fishing item but the prices for the normal fishing supplies seemed reasonable. read more

This cafe offers good food, good portions, and a cozy atmosphere. Service was quick and efficient. The garbage omlette with country potatoes was well seasoned and so satisfying. After a few days of camp meals it was a delight to have a tasty and filling meal without having to do the dishes. The cafe is attached to a general store for any camping supplies you may have forgotten. read more

Loved our breakfast at Silver Lake Resort Cafe! It's tiny so there can be a bit of a wait but it's well worth it. The staff offered mimosas or code even to sip on while you wait! The resort itself is beautiful and has views of Silver Lake, and the general store has fun little gifts and things to look at. Once we got a table, the service was top notch! The food was consistent with classic diner-style breakfast and had lots of really great options. read more

OMG breakfasts served here! I had the Farm Breakfast (a biscuit smothered in tasty sausage gravy, topped with an egg and two sausage links, and potatoes on the side) and a side of thick, perfectly cooked bacon. My wife had the French Toast. Also delicious. We came back at 4 p.m. for Happy Hour on the porch. Highly recommended! read more

Very nice little resort cafe. They have avocado toast. Pricey, yes. But nice location, good service.

Great food and great staff. I love to go there after fishing in the morning. Plus they have a very well stocked tackle shop. Also ice beer and sodas. read more

There's a moment in the morning--just after the mist lifts off the alpine lake but before the sun commits to its golden obligations--when the Sierra Nevada feels like the last good place on earth. We were up early, the way you only are when purpose outweighs comfort. My children, faces still puffy with dreams, my wife already sipping coffee like a woman born of purpose. We were to rendezvous with family--heroes of the Pacific Crest Trail--on their descent through Rush Creek. But first... we required sustenance. Not the kind you find in vacuum-sealed wrappers or continental breakfasts. No. Real sustenance. The kind old prospectors wrote songs about. The kind whispered through pine needles and carried on trout-scented breezes. We arrived at The Silver Lake Café, that timeless shack of warmth and breakfast potatoes, attached like a memory to the legendary Silver Lake Resort. It is small, charmingly so. Walls lined with black-and-white photos of men in waders and women with bouffants and pancakes. A sawblade on the wall. A taxidermy trout mounted with reverence. There is always a wait. And that is exactly how it should be. I, playing it safe, ordered the oatmeal--a monk's dish for a father who knew he'd be stealing from his children's plates. And oh, what glorious theft. * My daughter's plate--eggs and bacon, sure. But the potatoes. My God, the potatoes. Roasted to a kind of rustic perfection only achievable by either divine intervention or a woman named Doris in the back kitchen who's been here since 1973. * My son's plate, identical but with a side of salsa that could convert the most hardened cynic into a sunrise poet. * My wife, wise as ever, ordered the Jones Boys Special--a pile of protein so profound it could fuel a lumberjack through a blizzard. Ham steak, sausage, bacon, eggs, and yes, those potatoes again--this time blushing under a fresh crack of pepper. You don't eat at the Silver Lake Café so much as you join it, like a choir, like a barroom brawl, like a postcard that never fades. Breakfast in the Sierras. You'll remember it long after your boots are unlaced and your children are grown. read more

The food is soooo yummy!! The servers/staff are so sweet and welcoming despite how busy it is! Definitely worth the wait! I'll be back in a few weeks lol the pancakes are bomb af. read more

Service was nice and quick. Food came out quickly and was a good portion for the price. Standard American breakfast and lunch. Hearty filling meals. I loved the fries so much! They were crispy and seasoned well. I sat at the bar with my husband both times (breakfast then lunch a few days later) as the place gets busy. We put our name on waiting list twice. We enjoyed our meals- fisherman's platter with sausage and veggie omelette for breakfast and grilled chicken sandwich and veggie sandwich for lunch. Food was decent and I don't think you can go wrong with any order. read more

Great little spot whether you are camping near the lake of enjoying a day of fishing. I got there late but luckily they have Breakfast Burritos and hot coffee ready to go in their Grab-n-Go box. Next time I will get there earlier to enjoy the rest of the menu! If the rest of the fare is comprable to the Breakfast Burrito, I am in for a treat!!! Simple burrito with eggs, bacon and hashbrowns. Tasty and warm, it hit the spot!!! read more

Simply perfect blueberry pancakes. So yummy we had to go back a second time. Great American breakfast with big mugs of piping hot coffee.

Very good food and served quickly. Small space, so the wait can be long. But the efficiency makes it smooth. Breakfast potatoes and pancakes are standouts. read more

Great food, generous portions, excellent service. Great views, nice stream on west side of restaurant. Fast service. Prices are good.

After a hike and before a long drive down the hill, I was hungry and thirsty. I wasn't expecting much when I ordered the burger and fries and a beer. I also expected to pay more. The burger was the very best I ever had Seriously could not believe it! Friendly people and fast service. Reasonably priced too. read more

This is a real small cafe inside the general store. To get seated (tables or counter) or to place to go orders, you write your name on a list and they call you in order. The food comes out fast and it is GOOD. I had biscuits and gravy and my spouse had French toast. It was busy but tables turned over quickly. People seemed to be aware of the limited space and didn't linger. If you want a place to sit and drink coffee all morning, I would suggest going someplace else. If you want to take a scenic drive, get some great food, and head out for adventure, this is your place! read more

Was it worth the wait to come here?? Yes, yes, and YES! We came here after eating a mediocre breakfast at another cafe the previous day. This place more than made up for it. Apparently, Silver Lake cafe has been around for years, and I had just heard of it. Delicious breakfast here, with lots of varieties and super fresh! The quality of food here is top notch considering the location. The ambience is relaxing, you get a nice view of the lake and service is fast and efficient. I didn't get to take pics because we scarfed the food down right away. A+ read more

We have a tradition of going to Silver Lake Resort for breakfast the day before we leave our cabin which is on Silver. They are known for the breakfast which is good. There can be a wait, today we got there at 8;00 am and no one was waiting so we got right in. They also serve lunch which is very good. The have pictures from on the walls from when they open. Lots of large trout displayed on the walls. They have a great grocery store, fishing items, gift items etc. Behind the resort is a good sized pond with large trout and ducks that kids can feed. The resort has containers of fish and duck food for $1.00. read more

This quaint café/ diner was a homey respite in the June Lake area. They are renowned for their breakfast and business quickly picks up shortly after opening. I had the "Silver Lake Special" ($12.49) which was served with their specialty Buttermilk Pancakes, two eggs, and a choice of ham, sausage, or bacon. Simple breakfast made with love. No frills and with the best kind of hospitality. There is a reason why it is a favorite! read more

Terrific. Easily one of the best breakfasts of my life. Ambience, service, food, coffee, scenery, 10 out of 5.

Shout out to the friendly confines of this cozy cafe. The food is so good. And your order comes so fast. Breakfast or lunch only and limited seating but the food is worth the wait. It's quite affordable too. Cooked to order and the home fried potatoes very so tasty. Sorry I don't have pics. I ate it all too fast. read more

This is strictly for the food. We got: - Steak and Egg: def old meat. Egg was fine. Potatoes get 4 . They forgot my toast - Sausage and gravy: we had 2 bites of this then threw the rest out. - Coffee: better going to Epic cafe. View of the lake is 5/5 tho. read more

Drove to this quaint little restaurant after spending the morning on June lake. We walked through the country store and saw the neon glow of the cafe sign in the back right corner. We put our name on the little yellow slip of paper and waited. This place was in high demand and seemed to be a local hangout. Our timing must have been bad bc we waited for about 45 minutes before they had a spot for us. We sat by the window with a view of the trees and lake. I ordered the tuna melt which was good but a little heavy on the Mayo. Salad came with cheddar cheese which I thought was a little weird but tasted ok. Overall I'd say this place is worth a visit for the small town feel of the place and decent food. It felt like going back in time. The only downside was the wait, so get their early. read more

Delicious!!!! They have eggcellent food! I can't recommend this place enough! It's small, so you'll want to get there as early as possible because they only have a few small tables.

Silver Lake Resort Cafe - Generous portions - Cafes Near Me - June Lake, California

My wife and I stopped here for lunch during our outing on the beautiful June Lake Loop. We always knew about Silver Lake Resort but never knew they had a cafe open for breakfast and lunch. We arrived at a bit of an awkward time in between breakfast and lunch. The interior of the cafe and its kitchen are small, so it was quite the wait for them to switch over to lunch service. In the meantime, I ordered a beer and chilled out. I ordered the French Dip sandwich (minus the onions) and loved it! For $12 bucks, the portion size was more than expected. You're given a generous amount of meat (I went with beef) and a decent sized cup of Au jus. The side of fries were perfectly crisp and well seasoned. While the food was fantastic, the service was just so-so. Nobody was rude, but I didn't find the wait staff all that friendly either. It could've just been an off-day, who knows. Either way, I'll still eventually return to give their breakfast a try and perhaps even rent a cabin for the weekend. read more

Food was delicious. Hubby really liked the french toast and I enjoyed the veggie omelette. Optional bacon was perfectly crispy the way I like it. Seating was a bit chaotic - it wasn't clear that counter seating was part of the wait list. read more

The best breakfast spot in June Lake and one of my favorite diners of all time. The food is classic American dishes that are all done really well. They also have a daily special or two. Our favorites include the French toast, pancakes and the biscuits and gravy. Don't miss the delicious breakfast potatoes. The servers are all very kind and welcoming. The restaurant overlooks the beautiful views of Silver Lake. read more

Walk into the general store, then turn to your left. It is back in the corner. This was a cafe right out of the 50s-60s. Great breakfast, friendly staff. Most likely you will have a line to contend with. I highly recommend. read more

Disappointed with the service. Gentleman seating everyone could improve his customer service. We arrived a few minutes before noon to order take out. Told us we had to wait until noon to order and we said no problem. Noon came and he just ignored us and refused to acknowledge us when we tried to get his attention. We tried for 10mins and just left after no luck. We considered staying here and buying items to support the local business but I guess they don't need it. We won't be stop here again. read more

Food is outstanding, service always superb, cooks know exactly how to prepare food, Kim and the entire staff are outstanding. Love eating there. read more

I really loved Silver Lake Resort Cafe. It's an adorable little diner style restaurant (pretty small space inside) surrounded by gorgeous Aspen trees and a little view of Silver Lake. I was surprised because we arrived at 1:45 (they close at 2pm), and I was certain they'd tell us that we couldn't sit down cause they were about to close, but they surprised me by not only seating us but not throwing any shade about it! (They sat 2 more parties after us too!) The food is solid; definitely diner-esque but the portions are solid and the flavors were surprising for the space. I got the club turkey melt on rye with fries and it was so yummy, I ate the whole thing! I will definitely be back! read more

This place hits the spot. It's small and unassuming, but the staff are friendly, and the staff have a good rhythm so you're never waiting long. The prices are great, and You can also order food to go. There is outside seating with a nice view of the lake, and a little river. They have a something for everyone. We ordered the farmer and the miner breakfast, and both were perfect. I'm picky about sausage gravy, this one had just enough meat and wasn't too salty, also very creamy not gritty. Definitely a nice treat when you're out camping! read more
