Bear Buns Bakery is a cozy little neighborhood spot that’s perfect for a relaxed breakfast or coffee break. The place has a warm, local feel, and you can tell it’s a small bakery that really cares about what they make. Their pastries are the highlight — especially the cinnamon rolls, sticky buns, and fresh muffins. Everything tastes homemade and freshly baked, with rich flavors and great texture. They also serve good coffee and simple breakfast sandwiches, which makes it an easy place to stop for a quick morning bite. The atmosphere is friendly and casual, and the staff are welcoming, which adds to the charm of the place. Overall, Bear Buns Bakery is a great little hidden gem if you’re looking for fresh pastries and a comfortable neighborhood café vibe.

This cafe is so clean and inviting! I ordered the basic breakfast sandwich and it was so simple but so yummy 😋 i also ordered the banana bread pudding with coconut cream on top. It was so delicious! Def coming back to try everything else!

Bear Buns used to have the best breakfast sandwiches. The roll it was on was so flavorful and kept anyone coming back for more. They changed their bread recipe (or from what the lady said today.. it went through an ownership change). I got a coupon from T-Mobile for 25% off so I decided to try Bear Buns again this morning. They wouldn't accept the coupon and said people keep coming in with them (free advertisement is definitely a good reason to not get them taken off the discount site) but they don't accept them as it was the previous owners that advertised this deal (from over a year ago!!). As for the order, my Chai latte was decent. A little sweet for my liking. I prefer tea/spices more than sweetness and this one was just super sweet milk. The Bennie sandwich had a single slice of ham and very little benedict sauce. It's just not the same as the one they used to have that was full of flavor. The bun is bland and you don't taste the ham or hollandaise at all- only the egg. For $8, you might as well go get two sausage egg cheese mcmuffins and a hashbrown.

Great little neighborhood spot - coffee, breakfast sammies and rolls. You can taste the love and can’t recommend enough. Very friendly service also.

We were looking for a cute little bakery to enjoy a nice hot cup of cocoa, and we came across Bear Buns Bakery. This place is soooo cute. I ended up getting a delicious hot honey lavender latte and a bagel and my friend had a nice hot tea and a cinnamon roll. Everything was so good. And the service was top notch. We were able to relax and enjoy the nice calm atmosphere of the bakery. I strongly recommend this place. I will definitely be back.
