Looney Bean

Magic spot on a cold day, sun streams in through the big windows. Great food choices. Recommend the Pumpkin Muffin & Pumpkin Spice Latte on offer atm. Some big comfy chairs to relax in by the fire. Also on offer - Smoothies & Ice Drinks plus Milk Alternatives

So excited to find this place. Not related but I love the coffee shop by the same name in Bend, OR But here in mammoth this place is GREAT. Cozy fireplace. Faces the sunrise which is so good for a coffee shop :) The pastries and goodies are awesome. Freshly pre made burritos to grab and go (they're giant and delish) The coffee is yum. The people are great. Totally worth a visit! Highly recommend

The place is cute and chill!!!! The staff are nice!!!! AND their coffee is really awesome I have lavender latte and my friends have rose mocha and flat white. They are also excellent! Try it if you come to mammoth They also have many cute things in the store!

Best coffee in Mammoth. Smooth, not bitter. Great service too. And dog friendly. Lots of folks sitting outside with their well behaved dogs. And did I mention, the best coffee in Mammoth 😊

This is such a cute and fun coffee shop! The drinks are delicious and moderately priced. The baristas were so nice and the atmosphere is colorful and warm. There is indoor and outdoor seats which makes for plenty of room to enjoy your coffee, especially in warm weather. This coffee shop has become my favorite in Mammoth.

10/10 Would recomend this establishment. Visited the location with my freind Alexis. And a very helpfull lady named Elena made us amazing drinks

OMG! Best coffee in town. Staff was very kind and helpful. Great environment and delicious coffee. Tasted fresh and made with care. 10/10 would come back here

Was so good we had to come back every day of our trip! The Velvet Elvis Latte 😍

Absolutely wonderful a very different experience from other coffee shops I’ve been to. The staff is polite and attentive you can tell management doesn't just hire anyone. We look forward to coming here every time, when my husband is burnt out from the day I know the pick me up he needs isn’t just the coffee but going to the bean.

Delicious matcha! So creamy and smooth. Best matcha drink I've tasted from many coffee cafe's. I wish there was a Looney Bean near my home. Sad to see only four places total in the USA... Though it might be a good thing too.

I hit this place up several mornings at 6am and the crew behind the counter were pleasant and helpful Muffins etc are of good size and worth what they charge If you order a standard drop coffee know that they will hand you a cup and the self service fill is to the left. You will have 2 options/flavors to choose Decent WiFi and great atmosphere to get the day started. I would recommend this place and return the next time I am up at Mammoth Keep up the good work!!

I loveddd the Green Monster frappe (banana blended with matcha) and my friend enjoyed the vanilla chai latte though it was more espresso forward than chai. It was a much needed pick me up for our drive home. I also got the lemon poppy seed muffin and it was good but a bit grainy (maybe gluten free??) Also it looked busy inside but there was still ample seating. Can’t wait to go back!

Tucked away in the corner of a strip mall. Lots of locals hang out here. There’s an outside kids play area with plenty of outdoor seating as well. Great vibe both inside and out. Located in the same strip mall as the DIY. Lots of specialty coffee drinks. No decaf drip available during the day.

For me this is the second best coffee shop in mammoth I am not a fan of darker roasts, but Anna liked it. And her cappuccino had the right foam. The pastry (banana bread) is ok, but why vegan makes it so high sugar, It is probably 25-30% sugar. The sitting is very pleasant and efficient. The fireplace makes it cozy.

Visited today randomly. Wide selection of different coffees, beverages and selection of food thats goes with coffee to eat. I had mexican mocha which was really good. My brother tried their matcha on cloud and he liked it very much. Prices are very reasonable. The vibes inside are cozy, staff is welcoming and active, theres other stuff to buy as well other than drinks. Overall would highly recommend trying once. Would definitely come back.

So nice to stop by this super cute coffee shop before our afternoon activities. The shop interior is cozy, cute and clean. Their drinks are nice and delicious. The service is helpful and friendly. I definitely recommend you come by to sip on a good coffee when you are in town.

Love this spot ! Will definitely return before leaving again !! The service was so friendly ! Their coffees were delicious ! Got them brown sugar latte and vanilla latte ! Even had a croissant didn’t look like anything special but wow the flavor was great ! It looked like everyone was having a burrito but we weren’t that hungry maybe next time ? But this spot was a real gem !!

Shorty: Love this place all the way around. Service is nice, space is welcoming, open early (6), parking a plenty, drinks are delicious. Longy: They demonstrate they want you there with their kind service. Plenty of seating WITH power (for me to work a bit). Decor also pleasant. I prefer to support businesses that care about the customer. Check I have an RV (ambulance) to park, so large spaces are important. Check. I think it is difficult for a business to care so much about the customer and not have a good product. Even if their drinks were mediocre, i would come back just for the qualities above. Good thing thats not an issue, because i had their seasonal honey lavender latte with oat milk...and it was Amazing. Checkk I've been to their bishop location and it was everything, but the power plugs :(

I had the best frappe in my life here! The Vanilla Bean Frappe was delicious! The perfect flavor and thickness. Much better than the Looney Bean in Bishop. Great service & atmosphere too.

What a delight! I ordered a Mexican Mocha, it was delicious. I loved it so much I had to go back the next day. Their pastiest were incredible. I would very much recommend this hidden treasure.

This was absolutely delicious, just getting off the slopes and needing a bit of a pleasant environment after the chaos of the lodges - this place was sublime with a mellow college town cafe vibe!!! The owners were at the cash register and were so kind and warm. The soyrizo burrito was astoundingly perfect! I was skeptical and love bacon but tried at the owners recommendation - and this was a bomb breakfast burrito! A favorite food that so often is off the mark - this was spot on! The lattes were generous and tasty. My super picky sister also loved her chocolate banana muffin! I had a taste 😍😍😍 SUBLIME! Moist in the base and crispy up top with an abundance of chocolate chips! So yum and perfectly filling

Best iced latte in town !!!! Wide selection of drinks hot and iced !!! Friendly and attentive staff !!!! Nice decor !!!

Update:I still love their lattes. Their breakfast burritos have gotten bigger over the years and now would be a good sharing size or personal if you're legit hungry. They had bacon and soy-rizo burritos today. There'ss an adorable little play area in the corner and a kids sized picnic table on the patio. - Got the silky sinatra latte; it was delicious! Also got a bagel and cream cheese. My order was less than $8 which is very reasonable around here. The atmosphere will put you at ease.

A great local coffee shop. They have a lot of different flavors for signature lattes and seasonal lattes. Their breakfast burritos are really good too! I love stopping by in the morning for a latte and burrito. The line can be long in the morning, but you can order online ahead of time for pickup to avoid waiting in line.

Dropped in on a Saturday afternoon with the family before we set off for Hot Springs hike. Finally, an excellent macchiato. Toy kitchen/barista corner kept the 4 year old busy. Great atmosphere and service. Bathroom reasonably clean.

This is a review and a thank you to owner of this coffee shop -Shelley. Last week my son and his friend were walking to the grocery store and his friend slipped and a truck ran over his foot. A bad accident. (He’s fine. Hairline fracture) but Shelly Took care of the boys. Drove them back to our Airbnb and was just basically a really good person and that is always so appreciated so thank you Shelley. If your coffee shop is anything like the human you are…it must be fantastic.

Amazing coffee, great prices and their food is a huge win also! I find that coffee shop food items are usually a toss up but everything we had here was amazing. My hubs tried two other coffee places on our trip and found their Americanos were bitter & Looney Bean hit the spot. We even went back the following day before leaving town to grab some coffee and for for the road! Incredibly large and flavorful breakfast burritos, the best brownie I’ve had in a while, and a blueberry scone to die for. It seemed the busiest out of all places we visited and for good reason. I love the welcoming outdoor patio with an area for kids and cornhole, too. Keep it up! Will be back!

The service was incredible. Elena Cruz makes the best coffees in town!! Great service. The vanilla beans are very very good, 10/10 review.

Looney Bean Coffee is a Mammoth Lakes local favorite for a reason. The coffee is consistently excellent, and the breakfast burritos are not only delicious but surprisingly reasonably priced— and you can order ahead! The cozy, laid-back atmosphere makes it an easy place to linger, whether you’re a regular or just passing through. Looney Bean always delivers great coffee, good food, and a welcoming vibe. Highly recommend!

Tasty coffee and nice pastries. The staff were very friendly. You can also buy some merch items like shirts, mugs and more. It seems to be a chain here in the US. The coffee was good. We had a flat white which had a bit too much milk in it, but otherwise it was great. Thank you very mich!

Overall so cute, nice staff and great environment. Coffee was a little over extracted but pastry was adequate.

Coffee was a little on the sweet side for me, but still good. The atmosphere is super cute and cozy.

I have been here about a dozen times. The coffee is excellent as are the non-coffee drinks. The service is also very good. Be aware that this pace is slammed from 8-11am so you may be in line behind 18 people. Also, very few of the tables have access to an outlet, so this might not be the best place to get work done if your laptop isn't charged.

Cheery folks with great local vibe. The breakfast burrito was ok. The flavored coffee was good.patio was nice.

Very good coffee. I would have given 5 stars but I asked for extra hot coffee but it was just warm enough to drink. They have a microwave so I helped myself to heat up my drink.

Normally give this place five stars. Nice relaxed vibe. Good coffee and tea and relaxed place to work. Today, just now, the female employee who was closing up was really rude. She came by my table where I was working to tell me they were closing in a minute. I started putting my stuff away then asked her if she'd seen my ear buds case. She said no. I was finishing packing up and she came over at 5:01, and said "you have to leave now"...as she saw me putting my computer away, I was already standing up and about to leave. It's a shame since the place is normally so great. Rest of the employees were great. Vibe was great until the woman who closed up got rude.

Not sure about food. It is not really a good quality (espresso) coffee, don’t expect proffessional baristas, etc. what-size-of-cappuccino kind of place.

I ordered a London Fog. It was good, not great, nothing that makes me want to get another. I can confidently say I would never buy a pastry there again. I took home a SAR bar, coffee cake and a chocolate chip cookie. The SAR bar was like biting into tree bark with seeds, nuts, and mulch, I don’t know but it was not good. The cookie and coffee cake tasted like it had buckets of sugar, overall the treats weren’t edible. The service and vibe of the coffee shop were great.

I personally hate when matcha is pre-sweetened, it was SO sugary. I wouldn’t come back because I only drink matcha for caffeine and I can’t stand all the sugar.

while waiting for my food staff outside, I. the front was publicly talking about their political beliefs doesn’t matter which direction, but to make customers know thier beliefs loudly feels uncomfortable based on the fact that we all have different political beliefs, and we should be able to voice them yes but to openly discuss politics and put any party down is not OK especially at this time. I hope this staff gets a really strict talking to and that all customers and clients and people of all political backgrounds should be respected in our community in a safe space this was uncomfortable is not OK today was a mixed experience
