Our Story

A place that feels like
coming home

The Wild Strawberry started as a simple idea: build a spot in Big Bear where the coffee is as thoughtful as the view, and where the bar menu changes with the seasons the way the mountain does.

Nestled on Bonanza Trail, we're a café and bar that takes its craft seriously without taking itself too seriously. Our kitchen sources locally when it can. Our bartenders know the difference between a good drink and a memorable one. And our space — part rustic lodge, part modern gathering room — is designed for people who want to linger.

Whether you're starting a hike, wrapping up one, or just passing through and need a reason to stop, we'll have something ready that feels like it was made for exactly this moment.
