Our Guestbook
“ This was our first visit to this area and we loved it. Franconia is smaller and quieter than the other local more commercialized ski towns and we were thrilled we chose this town. We visited The Hungry Bear for breakfast during the very busy leaf-peeper season so we were not surprised that there was a 30-minute wait for our food. We didn't mind because we were able to sit at the outside tables and enjoy the weather and the mountain views. Our family enjoyed breakfast burrito, bagel sandwiches, smoothies, hot tea, and remarked especially how good the coffee was. The staff appeared to be owners and family and were attentive and friendly. Overall an excellent place to visit! Hungry Dear ”
“ I had a sandwich from the menu, but asked for a little customization and they were very accommodating. The sandwich was a amazing. I also ordered a chai latte that was so goo hot, I ordered another one iced. Best chai in the North Country. Service was stellar. They were attentive and wanted to ensure everything met our expectations. Will visit here again. ”
“ We had an amazing time! We ordered; Cocoa x2 Self Serve Coffee x1 Steak Burrito Veggie Wrap (No Cheese) Steak Burrito (No Cheese) Firstly, the cocoa was there, ready and red hot by the time we finished deciding! The service was lovely and the food, oh my life! The food was way under-priced imo as the ingredients were fresh, tasty, perfectly mixed and seasoned (which is rare for a veggie wrap) My companions were equally impressed. The ambience was fantastic and it is the perfect, relaxed venue to eat at if you visit Franconia. We'll be back next year! ”
“ The whole family LOVES the Hungry Bear whether we are here for breakfast or lunch. The pancakes are super fluffy and big, the coffee is amazing, and the other options are just as stellar. Lunch is AMAZING! I could eat the Italian sub every day if that kind of thing wasn’t looked down upon haha the smoothies are top notch. I can’t say enough good things about this place! ”
“ 10/10 on everything!!!! Couldn’t have asked for a better way to start my day! Service was great food was fantastic and coffee was phenomenal. ”
“ We stopped for lunch here about thirty minutes before they were closing. I was able to order the Philly Cheesesteak while the wife ordered the Roasted Turkey BLT with Avocado. We were sitting for a few minutes and our food was out. Another customer had a dog that demanded to be petted so that passed the time as well. The food was good and hot. We both enjoyed our lunch and I stole half of my wife’s macaroni salad. ”
“ A favorite local spot! Went twice recently, for breakfast and for lunch. Had the best steak bagel sandwich special for breakfast and a chicken chipotle avocado sandwich for lunch. Both were amazing! Great coffee, amazing staff, and such great food! ”
