Bear & Kono's Coffee Shop

424 E Hospitality Ln, San Bernardino, CA

★★★★★4.9(188 Google reviews)

Crema's Take

This San Bernardino gem draws coffee enthusiasts with its genuinely excellent espresso-focused drinks that hit that perfect middle ground—never too sweet or harsh—paired with an equally impressive breakfast menu that keeps regulars coming back. What really sets Bear & Kono's apart is the warmth baked into every interaction, from the skilled baristas behind the counter to an owner who's clearly invested in creating a space that feels like home, complete with a conversation-friendly bar area that's refreshingly uncommon for a coffee shop. Whether you're settling in with your laptop for the afternoon or grabbing a perfectly crafted breakfast sandwich, the reasonable prices and meticulous attention to both coffee quality and hospitality make this the kind of place people wish they lived closer to.

If I actually lived in the area I would come here every day! The breakfast sandwich was perfect and the coffee was delicious. Super friendly staff and very reasonable prices.

I have been coming here for awhile thanks to my wife's coffee addiction... All the staff that has served us has been helpful and the coffee tastes great (not too sweet, not too harsh). You do need to walk in to order/ pickup but the ambiance inside is great and welcoming. If you decide to try the food the chicken Pesto sandwich is amazing.

Excellent coffee, excellent service! Food was spot on as well. Really enjoyed the coffee. The bar area is something uncommon in a coffee shop where you have a chance to have a conversation with the owner and baristas. Taste of the lattes were very good and not heavily sweetened. Coffee is not bitter and does not have an aftertaste. I’m not from around the area but really enjoyed coming here on a Saturday morning. I look forward to revisiting soon.

This is truly a GEM. Very clean and styled location and high performing staff. This is the definition of team work at its finest. From the 2 young ladies making coffee to the young gentleman helping get all the food done this here is amazing service. 10000% recommendations to come here for Coffee and much much more. Props to the owner for having put together such a fast pace location and still holding it down with top quality customer service. 🏆

My sister and I saw this coffee shop on yelp. Once we got to the location the workers and owner of the shop are very friendly. The environment of the shop felt like home. We had ordered the breakfast sandwiches and Pesto chicken sandwiches along with the White Chocolate iced Latte and Pistachio ice Late. The Iced coffee latte we got are just right not too strong nor not too sweet just the right amount. When it was time for us to leave we ordered Island Guava Mango Ice tea and the Strawberry Shortcake Ice tea and oh my it was the most refreshing drink I ever had. Thank you for the workers and owner of the shop 100 percent would come back and order some more.
