Best cinnamon rolls ever! Good coffee too! Pretty much everything here is good! Nothing more to be said! Ps the too good to go bags are always good!

This was a cute little place tucked very unassumingly at the edge of a small parking lot that took me by surprise! When you walk in you're greeted with a very welcoming vibe and the best smells! The sticky bun and cinnamon rolls (and really all the items) are huge! The Bennie sandwich was truly a unique take on a breakfast sandwich that I haven't seen anywhere else- the house made bun was flavored and gave the sandwich a nice touch! As a big Eggs Benedict girlie I've never seen a sandwich version so I was pleasantly surprised - I'd have loved to see a fried or poached egg on it instead of scrambled but it was still very good all the same! Clearly lots of love goes into this place, you can feel it as you look around at the business cards and flyers and can get a sense that people feel accepted here. I'm excited to come back for some of those muffins and coffee!

This spot has literally been on my list for years! This morning I was craving a cinnamon roll, and to be honest the last two places I went to did not curb the crave, so, I decided to give Bear Buns a try. And I am happy I did!! The inside of the coffee shop is super cute, had seating for about 18, including some unique single tops. It's a comfortable all inclusive shop. I love how the city's gayborhood vibe has expanded and continues to be accepted in places aside from Hillcrest. Community bulletin boards - check Local art - check Friendly baristas- check check (who tell you what they honestly love, what are the best sellers and what you may like the best) They also deliver items from the kitchen to your table on the day I was here-- which was mid week. Cutsy sings- check Appropriate music level to allow for chat but hides kitchen noise -- check I ordered a mocha and a cinnamon roll. I guess I was basic today, it ran me about $10.00. They both were good. The cinnamon roll, contrary to other comments, is not too sweet. It is on a sourdough base (I think), with a cream cheese frosting. It could use a wee more cinnamon (but I am a total cinnamon lover). You could achieve "more cinnamon" by shaking some a top it with the coffee condiments. With that being said, I will return again to try the other varieties of buns... cuz they are the perfect combination of sweet, savory, chewy and crumb. The mocha, was as I would expect. Great blend of chocolate and coffee, served at the perfect temp. With the added kicker of coffee art . The next coffee I'll try is the Mexican Mocha, one guest got that while I was here and loved it!! I also heard rave reviews of the breakfast sandwich. Parking, on the street, was easy and abundant. Make sure to check both ways when you cross, it can get busy. All the food is packed "to go". So you can choose to eat in or take away. The condiment bar is STRONG!!! You won't be wanting for anything. One comment, review or something said there was seating outside, which would for suitable for doggos. When I came by, there was no such seating and I saw one dog mum and dad leave sad. So. If you're looking for a dog friendly spot, this may not be your place, though.... It could be given about two tables and four to six chairs. Stop by, you'll be happy with whatever you choose.

Love this cute bakery that's literally walking distance from my house. The staff is super friendly and the pastries they have are delicious. The pastries they have are huge which is a plus so then you can save it for another day. Definitely a bakery to try it if you're in the area. Thanks Bear Bun for tasty pastries and awesome service.
