June Bug Café

Recommend? Yes.

I stayed at the Yosemite Bug Rustic Mountain Resort for a few days and I was honestly nervous at what I would be eating. I knew it was going to be in the middle of almost no where so I was prepared to eat apples and bananas for my entire stay. I was very much pleasantly surprised when I learned they offer actual vegan food and they even change out the offerings daily!

I've had their breakfast burrito, cauliflower samosa, lasagna, pie, and trail lunch. Their portion sizes are HUGE, for me the food were easily two meals. My favorite was their lasagna. I don't even like lasagna that much and this was just so cheesy and loaded with all the good stuff. The garlic bread that accompanied the lasagna was perfection as well. You know how sometimes garlic bread is more of just butter and maybe some herbs, but this was LOADED with garlic.

The trail lunch I wouldn't get again because you have to assemble it yourself which was a bit inconvenient for me while I was hiking.

They also offer vegan sausage as a side which I take advantage of by getting it in the morning as a side to my leftover pie.

Five star is not enough to describe great food they are serving. Stayed on property and we ate at this cafe every day ..breakfast and diner. We did not wanted to missed our dinners cause every day menu changed and new exciting dishes appeared. Service was very friendly and attentive, outside sitting so inviting. They have some wine selection but for small cook fee you can have your own wine. Great place will definitely try to come back.

Very cute cafe. We reached in the odd hour right after breakfast and before brunch (10-11) so had very few options. But the menu looks good for all meals. Tried the coffee, carrot cake and chocolate cream pie. Everything tasted nice. Cafe service is quick and staff is nice. Would recommend!

Everything was perfect. The place, interior, taste and service! I ordered one sandwich and one burrito for 2 persons. Those were enough to eat and quality was really good as well.

I paid $38(tax+tip included) for this huge steak. They are so kind and generous. It was enough to share 2 of us. I really enjoyed my dinner.

Their trail lunch is pretty good, it has a sandwich with good quality ingredients, some trail mix, a few cookies and an apple. It's maybe a little expensive for what it is but I didn't regret buying it. Note that the sandwich has to be assembled on the trail. This was a bit tricky but I managed without losing any ingredients to a nearby squirrel. I got the trail lunch a few times, my favorite one was the avocado hummas. It made for a very nice sandwich at the top of Yosemite Falls.

The breakfast buffet is also pretty enjoyable. I had some granola, fruit and greek yogurt, plus scrambled eggs, hashbrown and some juice. Nothing too fancy but all tasty and a nice way to start the day before going out hiking.

Lastly note that even though they are open until 10, they only serve dinner until 9. After that it's desserts only. I found this out the hard way after a long hike. (Their pies are very good but they are not a good substitute for an actual dinner haha.)

Food was incredible! This place is loud and vibrant but full of character and fun. It is crowded and loud but that is part of the joy of being there! We were so impressed by the quality and level of the cuisine. So beautiful and delicious!

Lucky to have such a great place right next to our hotel. A bit pricey but totally worth it after a long day in Yosemite. Staff are very nice. My iron flat steak was perfectly cooked and purée & crunchy greens were delicious

Awesome place for breakfast. Great lodge-type setting with a homely feeling. We stayed at the resort and went to breakfast everyday. Good food at slightly higher prices, but one would expect it given the remote location.

cheese cake, beef and soup are super tasty! The chef is talented in making sauces, very delicious! My favorite restaurant in California 😍
