Bear & Kono's Coffee Shop
424 E Hospitality Ln, San Bernardino, CA
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.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.
