Menu for Big Bear Coffee Roasting Company in Big Bear Lake, CA

Disappointed in the service we had here today. After asking for a vanilla late, the barista asked if I wanted a 12, 16 or 20oz.... I asked ?do you use a double basket espresso shot for each of the sizes?? This is my usual question when ordering larger milkdrinks like this, as some 2nd wave coffee shops like Starbucks/diners have different espresso amounts in each size, but otherspecialty/3rd wave coffee shops use a standard double basket (16-20g of beans) no matter what the drink size is. The baristaresponded to my question in a condescending tone saying ?Where do you think you are? No of course not.? I responded saying ?Thatis not always the standard practice, my fiancée and I have worked at a number of coffee shops where it was standard to use adouble basket in each drink.? He responding again condescendingly ?Oh yeah? Where? Starbucks?? I told him no. Yet even if wehad, Starbucks is one of the few places who do increase their espresso amount based on drink size-like his establishment. Hethen confused us, or maybe he was confused with his set up, but he said they all use the same basket, but have different amountsof caffeine in each drink. So either they are under filling their espresso baskets, which would create inconsistent depth fromthe grounded beans to the group head causing improper pressurization/flavor. Or they are pouring the same espresso amount foreach drink, but throwing out the extra amount for lesser sized drinks. We decided to not get anything because of his attitudeand took our buisness else where. I would like to note that I do believe my fiancé and i were calm and respectful throughoutthe interaction, but the was not reciprocated. Read more

This the most weird coffee shop I have ever seen. Employees wasn?t normal and not willing to work. They told they don?t work... today and ask us come back tomorrow. (FRIDAY 11:30am) They think they are funny. But likely more amateurs with no respect tovisitors. Anyways this part was the only bad experience we had in Big Bear. Read more
