Big Bear Cafe is a neighborhood cafe, coffeeshop, and restaurant with a history of award winning chefs, exceptional food, and professional service.


THE SPACE:

The indoor dining area has a full service traditional bar, walls of exposed brick and plaster, and rough-hewn hardwood tables built from the reclaimed beams of the original 120 year old Big Bear Market.

The space is inviting with tables configured for large communal table dining or cleared for an open-floor reception.
