“ The go ham bagel was delicious and filling for breakfast. Great value but the wait was longer for the bagels and sandwiches since they're prepared. The breakfast burritos were quicker since premade. Lots of pastries to choose from in the display case (see pics) and the servers who took our orders were friendly and efficient. Parking spaces in the lot and you can order ahead too for pickup. Multiple options inside for seating, cozy shop to stop in Bishop. ”
“ I love visiting the Looney Bean in Bishop on our drive up to Mammoth. There is also a smaller location in Mammoth Lakes. They have a great variety of hot and iced drinks, and treats to enjoy. This location has plenty of seating and a fun but relaxed local vibe. I usually get the Dirty Chai or standard Americano. Recommend! ”
