Rewind Collective sits right on Village Drive in Big Bear Lake Village, and it’s one of those places where you actually feel good about what you’re putting in your body—and your dog gets to hang out on the patio while you do it. The cafe specializes in organic coffee, matcha, golden milk, and holistic smoothies made with real ingredients, along with healing teas and bone broth if you’re into that sort of thing. They bake their own sourdough bread and organic pastries fresh, so the smell alone is worth stopping in for.

What sets Rewind Collective apart is how seriously they take sustainability. Beyond the cafe menu, they run a refill station where you can bring your own containers for household and personal care products, which cuts down on packaging waste. It’s genuinely useful if you’re staying in Big Bear for a few days or live in the area.

If you’re visiting in the afternoon, they’ve got a craft beer, hard kombucha, and cider selection that makes for a nice wind-down after hiking or exploring the lake. The dog-friendly patio means your pup can be right there with you while you relax with whatever you ordered. The setup feels casual and village-like rather than touristy, even though you’re in the middle of a popular mountain destination.

They’re open Wednesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., Saturday 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Sunday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., which gives you good flexibility if you’re planning a Big Bear trip. Closed Monday and Tuesday. It’s worth timing a coffee break here if you’re health-conscious about what you eat and care about where your money goes.
