While there are two coffee shops that I know of in town (and there may be more), Great Bear is the only one to visit. Looks like it's locally owned (not a chain), friendly staff, great coffee and real bagels with plenty of cream cheese.

This coffee shop is reminiscent of UC Berkeley coffee shops with good coffee, wifi, good sandwiches, and excellent capuccinos. These barristas take their trade seriously and it is really appreciated.

I only was in town for a short time, but I may have had 3 CCC's (Chocolate Coffee Cream) during my stay. They are a guaranteed path to happiness.

Great coffee at any time of day. Calmer atmosphere than "some others" in LG. Best for reading the paper, chatting or business.

Breathe deep, because it's the coffee aroma you love and want to take with you. Went early one morning, so the atmosphere was pleasant and sun-filled. The artwork provided interest while sipping. This place is an asset to... More
