Beary Bliss Big Bear is a self-serve frozen yogurt spot in Big Bear Lake where you and your dog can cool off after spending time on the trails around the lake. The shop lets dogs hang out on their outdoor patio, which is a nice setup if you’ve been hiking nearby and want to take a break without heading all the way home.

They rotate through a bunch of frozen yogurt flavors—classic options are always available, but they also do seasonal varieties that change regularly. Everything’s made with quality ingredients, so it actually tastes like real yogurt rather than the artificially sweet stuff. The topping bar is substantial, with plenty of choices to customize your cup. You can load up on the usual suspects like granola and fruit, plus some more creative options depending on what they have that day.

The patio is casual and laid-back, which works well if your dog wants to chill in the shade while you eat. It’s one of those spots that makes sense if you’re already out exploring Big Bear Lake with your dog and need a break from the sun. The frozen yogurt hits differently after you’ve been on trails around the lake.

One important thing: if you’re thinking about sharing with your dog, stick to plain yogurt only. The flavored varieties sometimes contain xylitol, which is fine for people but toxic to dogs. Plain yogurt in moderation is safe, but check with your vet first if your dog hasn’t had it before. The shop’s location on Big Bear’s main drag makes it easy to find, and there’s usually parking nearby if you’re stopping by between other activities around town.
