We had breakfast on our first day and loved it so much, that we ended up coming back for lunch and dinner. (Not the same day!) Veggie Wrap was perfect for breakfast; there is a good reason the Fried Chicken Salad is their most popular salad; and the Mountain Pot Roast is wonderful comfort food. Nice to see daily specials... more

We hit this place on the way out of town for breakfast. Just ok. My husband had the 2x2x2 (eggs, pancakes, sausage), I had an egg white omelet. My egg whites were kind if runny and clear when I got halfway through, so that grossed me out and I didn't finish the rest. The place had a waiting list, but... more

We ate here on a recent trip to Mammoth, and we thought it was a reasonable find, considering the low prices. They had some weird choices on the menu (pesto fajitas, for example--both pesto and fajitas are generally good things in my book, and perhaps it is best to keep them apart), but the standards were safe and tasty. The... more

I had lunch at the Base Camp Cafe today. The hostess became visibly upset with me when I asked to be seated at a vacant table that had not been cleaned yet. She was seating me at a high table for six with bar stools. The other table was smaller and had a regular chair which feels good on the... more

We woke up late on Sunday, March 16th. I was looking for a Sunday breakfast in Mammoth Lakes and my hotel referred us to Base Camp. Two of us walked in at 5 minutes til 11am. As soon as we opened the door, the hostess immediately yelled, " if you're here for breakfast, you're too late! By the time you're... more

Every Snow season I look forward to Breakfasts at Base Camp, they consistently serve up great (and fairly healthy) food at very reasonable prices. Servers are friendly and quite accommodating (but occasionally scatty). The coffee selection is great, but I generally stick to their house blend - affectionately referred to as "Mud". Another bonus is, the free WiFi. more

Easily my favorite place in Mammoth besides being on the hill. I go to Mammoth almost once a month in Winter/Spring, and at some point on every trip, we'll hit up Base Camp. Great food, great prices, and the staff there is excellent. Can't wait to hit the pow again...and then come down for dinner at Base Camp! more

Base Camp Cafe is conveniently located across from Motel 6, and it is a great choice for inexpensive breakfasts and lunch. They are open for dinner only three days a week. The tea is nice, the reuben reuben with curly fries is excellent, and the staff are all very nice. Highly recommended. more
