Schat's Bakery & Restaurant in Minden was a perfect stop when we came off the lake for a night from…read moreour local camping spot. We ordered the Reuben Stacker and the Tahoe Blue. Service was friendly and the food was excellent. The Reuben is a thick hot pastrami on grilled Jewish rye with Swiss, sauerkraut, and Thousand Island. The Tahoe Blue is a hot albacore tuna melt on grilled sourdough with cheddar. Both came with a side as advertised, salad on my plate and fries on my wife's with Ranch dressing to dip the fries in. Portions were generous and the bread is amazing and baked in-house daily. The bakery case is one of many reasons to come back....! Coffee cakes, croissants, cookies, fruit tarts, and packaged loaves were all out and labeled. We bought croissants and cookies to take back to camp and they traveled (and ate) well....! The one real drawback is the building. The bakery and restaurant share a door with C.O.D. Casino next door. When that door opens, cigarette smoke comes into the dining and bakery area. The restroom is also on the casino side. That does not change the quality of the sandwiches or pastry, but it is noticeable and it is worth knowing before you sit down, especially if you are sensitive to smoke or bringing food out for a trip. Note: they do have outdoor seating. We love having this place close to home and will use it again for lunch and bakery takeout for sure! Four stars because the food and service earned five and the smoke and restroom setup cost one.

We always go to Schat in Carson, so when we were in Minden, its branch was our first choice for late lunch. We got what's available without the need for them to prepare, since they are closing. I got a ham sandwich and my two boys got pizza bagel -- everything is good, and although my sandwich is already pre-made, they still tasted fresh. I always love the ambiance there. It's always relaxing and the interior is classic. We ate in the park since they are already closing, but that's alright.

We saw them at the Kahle Farmers Market where they had a choice of 4 flavors, so I took one of each. In general ALL the cakes were dense and moist which I really like. Chocolate chocolate chip w/dark chocolate buttercream: Delicious. Great dark chocolate frosting, and a dense dark chocolate cake. Only negative, the chips were at the bottom of the cupcake and stuck to the wrapper. Carrot cake: I felt the cake was a little blah, but the icing was delish. Fresh Lemon: This was my runner up. Great lemon flavoring. Blue Velvet! (Vanilla bean cake with fresh blueberries and vanilla bean frosting): MY FAVORITE! The blue color draws your eye. This is a simple white cake with bits of FRESH blueberries throughout. Delicious, delicious!

We happened to come across this spot randomly when returning our baby's sun hat at TJ Maxx. I…read moreneeded a cup of coffee and saw this little bluish wooden spot across the street with a bakery and cafe sign , and decided to hit it up on our way back home. This place was packed. They had a DJ in the back playing music and I looked online and saw the photos of the baked goods. My husband went inside and ordered us some frittata and was lucky to get the last cinnamon roll. The frittata was OK needed a little bit more flavor and was not completely warmed up. It didn't have much meat in it more spinach and some onions, but not that great to be honest. Would be better if it had a nice buttery crust on the bottom, but definitely a good item to eat if you're on keto or not wanting to eat too many carbs. The cinnamon roll was absolutely delicious. Everything about it was super tasty. You can't go wrong if you order this item. I got an iced latte as well and it was really good, just took some time to get it . It's cute inside with some nice none food items for sale. We bought our baby a Tahoe board book. Right before we left my husband asked if he wanted to get a cookie, because he said they were huge lol.... so, we got oatmeal cookies by mistake , instead of chocolate chip. The cookies looked amazing but were hard as a rock . We thought they'd be chewy but instead were crumbly. The cashier was absolutely amazing. Unfortunately, the person taking orders was little standoffish after some ordering issues. I don't think putting customer's who have an issue on blast for the whole establishment to hear is appropriate. Mistreatment of customers for such a forward facing customer service position, isn't ok. We appreciate the cookies being comped. We will definitely be back for the cinnamon rolls in the future!

You can't go on vacation and not go to a bakery…read more If your near or in Truckee, this is the place! The brick building will tell you where to go. The doors open and your greeted with a busy bakery ambiance. Coffee drinks being brewed and fresh baked goods will greet you like a warm hug. They have savory and sweet. They have flaky. They have unique. Unicorn product full stop the focaccia in my opinion. Coming from a bread head, chefs kiss Some would say the cinnamon roll. I would say just go and pick, you'll be a happy person. Pastries on vacation, check. Recommend.

Pan Dulce! Yes please. Lake Tahoe Ameca Bakery bakes up some darn delicious Mexican pastries…read more I was in South Lake Tahoe, driving about being a tourist. I spotted the shopfront and its signage while driving down Lake Tahoe Blvd. That word "bakery"caught my sweet tooth's attention and off I go. The bakery is unassuming, and no frills. The gentleman at the counter was a man of few words. Kind and earnest. The various pan dulce sat so pretty within the glass cabinets. But there was no pricing. They had the pan dulce names clearly labeled though. Considering it was early afternoon, some items were scarce. But they still had enough variety to satisfy my sweet tooth. I bought some orejas (don't you dare say palmiers), polvorones (they're gorgeous tri colored happy looking butter cookies), conchas (soft bready center with sweet sugary, crisp top goodness), and butter cookies topped with shredded coconut. Everything tasted fresh and delicious, and looked so cheerful. It's a true panaderia where you take a tray and tongs and serve yourself by loading up the baked goodies onto your tray. You take the tray and tongs to the cashier to pay. They'll bag up everything for you. Another important thing to know is their payment policy. They take cash, Venmo, and Zelle. No Apple Pay nor plastic.
