I can't say enough good things about LuluBelle's! This was hands-down one of the absolute…read morehighlights of our trip. My wife and I ordered two vanilla lattes, the chicken and waffles, and a sausage breakfast burrito. Everything was cooked perfectly and flavorful, absolutely zero notes. The coffee is fantastic, the breakfast was incredible, and the staff was friendly and efficient, keeping the service moving quickly even when they were busy. We ended up coming back the next two days as well. We loved it so much that we came back one evening to try their pizza, and it didn't disappoint either. If you are in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by. Excellent food, great coffee, and wonderful service!

Ok coffee, decent folks, but overall really disappointing. Issues I saw:…read more The price! We had accumulated a few gift cards over time so we decided to use them to stop by. We bought 2 coffees (a 12 oz drip coffee with half and half and a 16 oz iced latte). We also got 2 bagel breakfast sandwiches. Our total was $39!!!!! Even my tiny drip coffee cost significantly more than a Starbucks equivalent! The Quality I truly hate to say it because I want local businesses to be successful, but everything was low quality. My drip coffee was lukewarm when I got it, my wife said she prefers iced coffee from del taco compared to the one she had here. But the really disappointing thing was the sandwiches. First, they came out heaped with lettuce (on a breakfast sandwich???) I've never seen that before, and we didn't ask for it. After we picked the lettuce off of the sandwiches they were very small (especially for the price!!) I managed to eat about 2 bites of mine before I couldn't stomach it anymore. It was just bad. The sausage patty tasted freezer burned and was extremely dry and the egg white was undercooked. I love an over easy egg, but this was not that. This egg was not cooked enough to be served. My wife made it about 1 bite further than I did, then she had to call it quits. All in all, we paid $40 to throw away our sandwiches and drink aggressively mediocre coffee. What really sucks is that I want to support local businesses! I would love to keep going to a small local shop. But when they rob us blind and serve food like that, I can't justify it.

Jerry is the best baker I know. She made the most delicious wedding cake I have ever had…read more We had a three tiered cake. The top and bottom layers were ginger-doodle with gingerbread frosting and the middle layer was chocolate with espresso frosting. The flavors were amazing and the cake fit our rustic Christmasy theme perfectly. We had a very small and intimate wedding in December 2024 to which Jerry and the Gingerbread House were amazing to work with and gave the best service. We also had some of their goodies from the shop and those were also incredible. Thank you, Jerry! We can't wait to come back for some more sweets.

We had waited in line outdoors for most of the time. It was quite cold and windy during the wait. One place I wish they had outdoor heaters . The house is decorated on the outside just like you would imagine a gingerbread house would be, cute, adorable and delicious looking. Once you walk into the house you will find some displays of familiar candies. Maybe something you may want to get the next time you are at your convenience or grocery store. Save room for the some of the beautiful and delightful dessert that are displayed behind the acrylic shield. And don't forget something warm to drink! The drink orders once made are handed out at the window on the side of the building. We ordered quite a bit, just wanting to try everything that looked and sounded delicious. My girls enjoyed the cinnamon rolls while the pretzel, and molasses cookie were my favorite. My girls agreed with me on the cookie as well. The grandkids enjoyed their cake pop. For hot drinks, we ordered hot chocolate and hot chai. For me, it was worth the wait. I would order more molasses cookie and an extra pretzel! The customer service was friendly despite the line of people that was coming through. Great job staff! I plan to stop by this house again the next time we come to Santa's Village.

The parking of this ice cream store is off of Village Lakes Rd, where there is a ton of shops. You…read morewill have to walk north to lake to find it at the end. Yesterday, Upon entering i noticed how super clean this store was, highly organized with attention to details. This ice cream store doesn't have tons so flavors but you can still mix and match, have sundaes, shakes & malts, floats, push pops, paletas, affogatos, hot chocolate, whipped iced coffee too! You can either have cones, waffles cones, cake cones dripped waffles cones, bowls or cups. On top off all of that you can also treat yourself to toppings such as: chocolate chip cookies, gummies, nuts, sprinkle, Oreos, marshmallows, pebble cereal, bits of snickers. They also have chocolate chip cookie, pie, churros, Caramel apples, Bavarian glazed nuts, chips, themed drinking cups, drinks, pins, chargers, rock crystal candies, toy machines. Alex R was working that day, she asked us if we had and question, we did, she answered them beautifully! 2 scoops of chocolate & vanilla, 2 scoop cotton candy, 2 scoops of strawberry cheesecake, 2 scoops mint in chip all in a large cup to go! Their price points are spot on! All were delicious! I would love to Thank Alex R for a fantastic & memorable visit. I would like to thank Village Ice Cream & Sweet Shoppe for wonderful visit! I'll definitely be back again! I'll tell all my family & friends to visit here!

If you venture down the lake's main thoroughfare toward the new concert venue, you'll find the…read moreVillage Ice Cream & Sweet Shoppe as the last business on the left. With some outside tables offering scenic views of the lake, this is a great spot to take a rest from browsing and grab an ice cream cone, cold drink, specialty coffee, or sugary treat. The shop offers Thrifty Ice cream in assorted flavors, cone choices ranging from simple sugar to freshly-made, warm waffle cones for cradling your scoops, and a variety of additional crowd pleasing snacks such as churros, baked goods, specialty lattes, Dole Whip, soft serve, and other edible treasues too numerous to mention. Price wise, their offerings are a bit on the higher side - I paid around $10 for a large chocolate malt (shakes are cheaper) - but you will probably encounter a small, quickly-moving line upon entry. And though ice cream can be found at other village businesses, indeed, there are some confections that are unique to this site. Our server (apparently only one on a weekday afternoon) was pleasant and efficient, rapidly filling orders and fielding any questions as she moved to and fro translating the pictured menu offerings into the equally-tempting tangible goodies that excited patrons scurry away holding. It's hard to resist this little spot as you peruse the shops along the esplanade - and what's better than strolling around that walkway bend to the lakefront businesses with a refreshing treat in hand? I'm sure you'll find something that catches your eye and, subsequently, dazzles your tastebuds.

The regular flavors (ie cardamon, cinnamon, vanilla) you can get at no minimal amount. But the more specific flavors (ie saffron) have a minimum you need to purchase. All in all, my friends who went to Copenhagen said the baked good are comparable to Europe, or even better! Honestly, I loved every single bite of my purchase.

Incredible Mountain Restaurant!…read more From the moment you walk in you get the mountain vibe warm, welcoming, and comfortable! They did an amazing job of redesigning the place from the last restaurant! The neon signs make are the cutest! I ordered the what I Believe was called the Jen burger double patty and oh man one would have definitely been enough lol. The portions are great and the food was exceptional. The burger was cooked and seasoned perfectly, packed with Bacon and honestly sooo worth it. Prices were great and very reasonable especially for how good it is and how much you get. Had a glass of Moscato which was really good! Mariana was my Server and she was the best!! Also, the owner (Iris) can be seen hard at work as soon as you walk in. I will absolutely be coming back and I recommend anyone on the mountain or traveling past here to make a stop, you won't be disappointed!

If you're a fan of spicy food looking for a slight kick, I recommend trying out their Blazer Bowl. Plus, something about fresh poke being served high up in the mountains makes it seem even more delicious and refreshing.

But, but, it's okay because they offer so many great beers, sours and seltzers, whether seasonal or on a regular rotation, that finding new favorites are a no-brainer. In fact, on our most recent visit, thanks to the super friendly locals who frequent here, I found three new favorites: kiwiberry sour, bomb pop seltzer and rainbow sherbet seltzer! More importantly, I remembered to grab some growlers to take home with me this time! All in all, this is still our favorite brewery when we're up in this area. Friendly staff and even friendlier locals who are so welcoming!

The location is…read morebeautiful! of course, Arrowhead itself is stunning!! and the atmosphere here just makes it even better. There's plenty of seating, especially in the back, and it's such a nice place to sit, relax, and enjoy the scenery. We were hoping to order some food, but unfortunately we arrived a little too late and the kitchen had already closed. The service was good overall, although the guy helping us wasn't particularly welcoming. That being said, it didn't take away from how much I enjoyed the place. The ambience is honestly magical. Between the beautiful surroundings, all the seating, and the overall laid-back vibe, I would definitely come back, just earlier next time!!

TL;DR: be prepared for a wait. great service and probably the best breakfast in town?…read more Came on a Thursday morning and were surprised to see a wait. Put our name down and had to wait ~30min which was fine since we just window-shopped the nearby shops Ordered: - Corned beef hash (4.5/5): delicious flavor but wish there was a bigger portion of corned beef especially when compared to the hash brown. tip: ask for a hard fry to get extra texture - short stack pancakes (3/5): pancake texture was alright but not particularly special. Being covered in whipped cream doesn't help. Decent value though if you're fueling up Would definitely come back if we're back in town Cheers, Villager Coffee!

Just show up before 7:45 pm (last call for seating). The food is very freshly made and is pretty good for a buffet. The kitchen staff will accommodate you if you have any dietary restrictions. Beverages and desserts are included in the price. And the staff is very attentive and friendly. It's so nice to have a low stress dining option onsite. Plus, there is a bar and tavern in the back if you want something smaller. Tip for dinner: save room for dessert. It's a small selection, but hits the spot for post dinner treat. Tip for breakfast: don't wait until the end of the dining time to get what you want from the buffet, the staff starts clearing the buffet items about 15-20 minutes before last seating and they won't refill some items.

I was shocked at the actual square footage of this store as it looks much smaller from the street. Additionally, I never noticed they have a Starbucks within. Initially I only intended to stop in for a meager bag of tortilla chips, but I soon found myself walking other aisles just to peruse the variety of goods available. There's a full-service bakery with an impressive display case near the entrance (adjacent to the Starbucks), and the steaks at the meat counter were equally attractive. The deli section was doing a good business with several people in line for sandwiches, and I noticed a hot soup station, as well. I hate shopping at Lake Arrowhead village on weekends due to the traffic and, though this Jensens was doing a very brisk business, the ease of parking is so much better. I have been relying on the little market in Cedar Glen (a former Jensens, ironically) for emergency "basics, " but it's nice to know there is a larger, better-stocked, option available a short five miles distant.
