We love this bakery! It's our favorite spot to stop for lunch when we drive through town. Their bread is fresh and I was stoked to see the sourdough didn't have folic acid...just good clean ingredients! The lemon cookie is to die for. Always good breakfast sandwiches. Cozy vibe...nice to sit outside. read more

The best places are in small towns off the beaten path. Amazing cookies and breads. I love the cookies because they aren't overly sweet. The flavors are balanced and it doesn't taste like the only ingredient is corn syrup. Highly recommend! And apparently my cat Chester is a lemon cookie fan! read more

Food pretty great. Service pretty grumpy, disinterested. The staff does not inspire me to visit regularly. Would love to encounter pleasant and cheerful folks who seem to want to help out a customer if needed...just sayin. read more

Amazing cookie friendly staff and amazing sandwiches too! Good for price as well. Will be back

Most tourists stop at the well-known bakery on Main Street. Well if you're doing that you're missing out. Great Basin Bakery the best. I love their roast beef sandwich on sour dough with horseradish sauce. We also get the turkey with roasted tomatoes. Both are delicious! So are their pastries. Order ahead or quick service when you get there. It's a small place and located a storefront off of Main Street with street parking. I highly recommend this place! read more

I ate here 2 days over the course of the week I was here. The peanut butter cookie is soooo good! It tastes like how a cookie should taste to me. Crunchy exterior and a gooey interior. My bf and I got bagel breakfast sandwiches but after eating them we both had horrible stomachaches and had to make frequent trips to the bathroom. I would NOT recommend the bagel sandwiches. We think it was something to do with the eggs. We both got different flavors but the egg was the same for both sandwiches. Taking a star off for the bagel sandwiches. I do like their veggies sandwich though. It was easy to pack into my backpack since it was already wrapped. The Veggie sandwich has spinach, pesto, tomatoes, avocados, and provolone cheese. Overall, I would come back for the cookie and to try a different sandwich. read more

Moved to Mammoth but still have to come down at least once a month for the BEST CINAMMON ROLLS!!! And Mt Tom sandwich

We stopped by Great Basin Bakery at the end of the day. I'd have to say: Meh. Pastries were mediocre, and the help was rude. The guy behind the counter was short and unfriendly. Granted, it was five minutes before closing time, but still. I wish I could say better, but this was how our visit went. read more

Small shop with lots of great bakery options. It's kind of at the south end of town, so it doesn't feel as hectic, although there's no parking lot and not a lot of street parking. Still haven't been able to get there at the right time on Friday morning to try their garlic sourdough, but we're going to keep going back until we do. read more

We stopped here on the way home for breakfast and sweets. We ordered two bagel breakfast sandwiches and 4 different cookies. The cookies were big, and the flavors were good, but we prefer chewy, crispy cookies. These were cakier in texture; we'll pass on this next time. My wife's breakfast sandwich on a regular bagel with ham was good, but mine on a cheesy bagel with sausage was outstanding...hence the 5 stars. The bagel was coated in cheddar cheese, so much so, that the hole was completely filled with a gob of cheese, then they add cheese to the sandwich, were not talking a kraft single either, but rather a nice cut of cheddar cheese perfectly melted through. Combine that with the egg and sausage..bam! What a sandwich! C'mon $5.50? Same price you pay for a fast food sandwich and epically better. I'll need to come back try some of their breads and sandwiches. read more

Came here based on reviews. Very good menu and friendly service. We ordered a Mediterranean salad and a Muffaleta sandwich. Both were great. Left with some yummy cookies for dessert! read more

Where the locals go! While in Bishop for business, I stopped to see the contractor that installed a solar thermal system we supplied for Great Basin Bakery's soon be open new location. The owner wanted the solar system to help cut back on the cost of gas for doing dishes. While talking to her, she told me about a new product they have for taking leftovers home in containers that can be washed and reused at home or brought back to them to be washed and reused for someone else's leftovers. That's potentially a lot of dishes. I asked the contractor for a recommendation on a lunch spot, and he said Great Basin Bakery and added that's where the locals go. Tourists go to Schat's, and locals go to Great Basin Bakery. I stopped in at the original open location and was too late for lunch but did buy a loaf of sourdough bread that I have been enjoying for a week now. Next time I'm down that way I'll definitely be stopping in to try their lunches, and for sure, take home at least one loaf of bread. On a side note, the sourdough loaf I purchased was less than I could get one for at a local big box store. read more

Really cool spot for its background, but definitely a lot of hype. I had the cinnamon pull apart, jalapeño cheese bread, and some donuts. All was good, but I get just as good at my local farmers market and for less. It was very overwhelming inside as it was a lot of people. Probably will skip out next trip out. read more

This bakery is so good that you do not want to tell others. Their Sourdough bread is very sour and chewy. Their cookies are outstanding. This is our mast stop when we are in that neighborhood. read more

Great spot for yummy bread!! The croissant sandwiches are delicious, but the regular ham and cheese croissant is next level, so flaky and pipping hot. It really satisfies those breakfast wants. Friendly service, and yummy baked goods really gets your day started off on the right foot. I didn't try any of the bagels or other baked goods, but they looked amazing. read more

Super close to Tesla charging station, which was a super big plus for me. I passed by here several times and finally had a chance to try today. I really enjoyed their fresh sandwich and my super picky eater son devoured it. read more

Stopped in on way from LA to Mammoth. Figured it was a good spot to stop around noon with only an hour left to mammoth mountain. Walked in and couldn't help but notice the perfect assortment of desserts, bagels, and breads. A simple menu with friendly staff. Ordered two sandwiches and only took about 5-10 minutes to come out. We got the BLAT add turkey and the muffuletta. Bread talks. A sandwich really does depend on the bread and the Great Basins fresh bread really was a staple. They also don't skimp out on the toppings and ingredients. If ever in the area again, I would definitely go back. read more

Mt Tom sandwich was once great! Now, it doesn't come with bacon and the sun dried tomatoes aren't the same either..... won't be getting that one again. Hopefully the cookies are still fabulous read more

The *Mt. Tom Turkey Sandwich* ($9.45) is the real deal and is so completely scrumptious with the carved turkey, sundried tomatoes, and avocado. Too many delicious items here that I wanted to grab but couldn't since I would not have been able to store them anywhere while in the wilderness. I grabbed the *Big Mud Cookie* ($2.50) though to consume on my drive up to Mammoth and was in instant heaven! Gooey and so soft... if only I could warm it up! Had I been able to make it there before they closed on my Sunday down from Mammoth (they closed at 2pm at the time), I could have grabbed some of their sourdough bread to-go, along with other goodies as the choices for freshly baked goods is endless! Support this local bakery and not the evil Schat's Bakery! read more

I want to make a huge shout out to the Great Basin staff for their excellent service and commitment to great customer service. Every Friday my husband brings home almond croissants for breakfast from Great Basin Bakery. I look forward to them every Friyay! Last Friday I called the bakery and spoke with the baker Mathew to let him know that the almond croissants we purchased were not good. Too much filling and heavy. He apologized and reminded me that they were involved in a major change with the bakery. To my delight, today my husband brought home almond croissants from Great Basin and they were amazing. The filling was the perfect amount and the tops were light, crunchy and buttery. Thank you Mathew. Looking forward to next Friday unless I can't wait until then. read more

Great Asiago sourdough bread, pastries and Sierra Mud cookies. The service was quick and the vibe is clean and productive.

Pulled in for a sandwich and cup of coffee. The tuna sandwich was on fresh sourdough bread. The cup of coffee was hot and smooth. Great spot to get a simple cup of coffee and good food. Not crowded which was refreshing. read more

Mt Tom and mushroom Brie soup were both fantastic. Perfect for any road trip lunch stop.

This is by far the best bakery I've been to. Everything I've tried, cookies, croissants and the Mt. Tom sandwich have been excellent! This is the first place I go when I'm in Bishop! read more

Stopped here for quick sandwiches for the road. Delicious, fresh sandwiches. Sourdough bread was super fresh, thin and tasty. Grabbed two loaves of Asiago sourdough freshly baked for home. Great service. Will back on our next road trip! read more

Who knew great cookies can be had so close to the mountains? I sure didn't and this place warrents a second visit. I didn't get to spend too much time here, so the review is mainly for cookie and sausauge rolls. Location: In the town of Bishop, California. For great sweet treats and bread, come here. Street parking only. Food: I need to come back to try more stuff, but here's what I tried: -Sierra Mud Cookies: To die for. OMG. Very sweet, but this would go great with tea or milk. I wonder if they do mail order? Hmmmm.... -Sausage rolls: Wamed or toasted for sandwiches, this was as fresh as I hoped it would be even a couple days later after purchase. Get these for your outdoor adventure meals. Summary: The vibe in this place as opposed to the other bakery down the street is very much a local joint. However, I had no issue with the customer service and the fact that some items sell out faster than others suggest you need to get here earlier in the day to get them. They also sell sandwiches too, but I didn't get to try any of those since lunch was already in the car waiting for me. Definitely need a longer visit next time and well worth a stop over. read more

Great food. Great service. Great music. We were a large party and were accommodated with ease. I have not one bad word to say. Will go back!

This little bakery bakes up some great pastries and whips us some delicious sandwiches! Ratings for what we've tried so far: Hot coffee - 5/5 Breakfast croissant sandwich with bacon - 5/5, great size and yummy thick bacon! Breakfast croissant sandwich with sausage - 3.5/5, great size but sausage wasn't anything special Blueberry muffin - 5/5, delicious and even blueberries in every bite! Cinnamon roll - 3.5/5, might just be me but I'm not a big fan of cream cheese frosting and the cinnamon roll was more bread than pastry felt like. Sliced sourdough bread - 5/5 Customer service 5/5! Staff is very friendly and the place is clean. Highly recommend coming here! read more

Good little bakery! Seem to cater to locals more than tourists. Workers knew a few of the customers that came in. We got: - kids ham and provolone on sourdough - kids enjoyed this, bread was soft - BLAT on sourdough - really good and filling - cowgirl cookie - apricot oatmeal, a little too sweet - spinach artichoke croissant - sourdough loaf They also had a few organic fruits for $1.50 each in a basket. Lots of drinks but no whole milk, only low fat. Lots of bread options and self slicing machine. Clean bathrooms. read more

if you want good bread, THIS is the place! Roamed over here instead if the "other" well known bread place and what a pleasant surprise. Their multigrain wheat is amazing as is the sourdough and the cookies - especially the Molasses cookies are so yummy! Cool, local spot with a limited selection of breads but quality made! read more

Best sourdough ever. My San Franciscan husband agrees. The pastries are to die for, too.

Our turkey sandwiches were amazing! Unfortunately, after 1 bite, we got distracted by someone and the dogs ate BOTH sandwiches. Ivy and Hazel are giving them rave reviews. Good portions of meat, cheese, tomatoes and other good stuff. The bread was to die for. Don't miss it! read more

Super small little bakery offering the most delightful GF Sierra Mud Cookies. I was just passing through, but had to stop and grab a bag for hubby to try. OMG ... he devoured the whole bag (minus giving me a little nibble to try!). Then he proceeded to tell me these cookies were the best GF cookies he's ever had and that they should be sold nationwide. Haha Friendly staff and super clean shop! read more

Stopped here on our way home from Mammoth. Cute bakery with a lot if delicious choices. Not much space for eating and it was crowded on a Sunday at 11a. But there is outdoor seating if the weather permits and clean bathrooms is a plus. Our group ordered a variety of sandwiches and cookies. Everything was fresh tasty and delicious. The sandwiches were large too. All the cookies were delicious! The lemon cookie had plenty of lemon, the molasses cookie wasn't overly gingery, and the mud cookie was super yummy chocolate. I ordered an everything bagel which had loads of everything topping. I do wish I had known they have a pesto cream cheese. Apparently it's not on the menu. I'll have to try it next time! read more

Stopped in here for breakfast before we set out on a short backpacking trip. I hope to be able to come here for lunch in the future, as the lunchtime sandwich menu looks good... and they have a daily soup! I ordered a bagel with peanut butter and my other half, a sausage breakfast sandwich. The bagel was good! Definitely tasted fresh. It wasn't.. boiled like a traditional bagel though? I'm not sure, but it didn't have quite the same texture as a bagel you would get from Noah's or Einstein's. The breakfast sandwich bread wasn't toasted, so at least we know to ask for that next time. (It was on sandwich bread.) I really like the self serve coffee and tea area in the back -- very convenient! A jug of water is also readily available... so drink up before you hit the trails! 2018: 33/100 read more
