    High Sierra Bakery is a fan favorite in this Eastern Sierra big "small town." We have been enjoying the donuts, cookies, breads, pastries and cakes since 1995. While ownership has changed at one point, the bakery has stayed in the family. Locals absolutely depend on this jewel. High Sierra bakery is more than just a shop, but a place where neighbors meet, chat, and feel at home, fostering a sense of connection. Locals also order donuts for their different clubs, acitivities and gatherings. Tourism is also a big part of the bakery clientelle. The bakery has extended hours during peak summer time. It's essential to get to the bakery early during these times to be able to have many variety choices. While the bakery must close for the winter, you can depend on them usually beginning in April into October. It has been a long time, but we have ordered birthday cakes in the past. Everything here is consistent. The apple fritters are a big hit, and I say big hit because they are HUGE. The bakery also has sandwiches on the menu, but I think they are usually not available until after 11. There is plenty of seating inside and a couple of tables outside. Parking is available on the street and it is within walking distance from all local motels.

    Sierra Haystack

    Stopped here on the way home from Mammoth to have an early dinner. We had originally decided on the Deli but even though Yelp said they were open, they weren't. So their loss was our gain because I really enjoyed the High Sierra Bakery. I ordered up a delicious Sierra Haystack, A MUST DO when you go here. The bag was tempting, but they also have single haystacks for sale. My wife ordered up the Hulk and shared a bite of her sandwich with me. Perfectly made, in my opinion. Nice flavors and not too much of anything. They did have to sub pepperoni for salami but that didn't make much of a difference. For my sandwich I decided on a simple PBj because I wasn't super hungry. It was a good choice. Great bread and simple ingredients. The space is big enough for most groups that are coming through town and it really did feel very small town vibe. The service was good too! So many times I hesitate to get anything really unique in small towns because they just don't have the turnover, but High Sierra was pleasant surprise when it came to the quality of everything we had. I will definitely head there next time I am driving through from Reno.

    Cinnamon rolls and cold brew

    Delicious cinnamon rolls and cold brew. Will definitely come back, and not only because they're the only place open early. Friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

    What a nice bakery. We enjoyed a nice sandwich here and enjoyed a fritter, danish and donut. The fritter was our favorite.

    If nothing else, they're patriotic.

    October, 2024. Everything was great in this Bakery except my Cinnamon roll. By great I mean ambiance and friendly people. The roll itself was dry as can be. Maybe it was a bad batch, but for five bucks I would have expected more. No prices posted. My guess it's that way so it won't scare people away. I tell you what, if their coffee doesn't give you a jolt, their prices surely will. But, after all it's California. The night before, at another establishment, I paid $24 for a hamburger and a beer. When I paid for that I laid down two twenties and the server asked me if I wanted change! I sure do want change. It's time for a change. Quick Tip: The Cinnamon roll is labeled as such. But what the little sign doesn't say is that the roll you just bit into has raisins in it. I prefer it that way, but someone who doesn't is sure going to get a surprise.

    Coffee cake (1order)

    Friday morning 9 am and Just passing through, so stopped for coffee and grabbed an order of their coffee cake as well. Unfortunately they were all out of apple juice, ran out of forks, no napkins to be found, and the servers were not so friendly. It was busy but also happened to be one of the few places open at this hour. $9 and change for coffee and cake. The system is also a little confusing if you've never been here. Order pastries on the right and coffee/pay on the left. The sandwiches on the menu sounded delicious but we didn't order. The coffee was eh, and the cake was too big to eat without a fork. It was moist and reasonably tasty. The cake sits atop a layer of baked apples and cinnamon. The 2 pcs in the photo is one order.

    Very cute little shop. Came in for breakfast and coffee after waking up extra early to soak in the nearby hot springs. We got there at about 7am. It was slow but very quickly picked up with lots of people coming in. We got the coffee cake - so fresh it was still steaming hot as it was being served. It was very moist and the apples at the bottom were a welcome surprise! We also got the cold brew, which was tasty. The people that were working were friendly and welcoming. It wasn't cheap, but in a town as remote as this one is, that is to be expected. Overall, this was a cute spot with good options and I'd happily return.

    The sour dough bread is excellent! It had the perfect texture and tasted wonderful. I'm bummed I didn't purchase another loaf.

    Tried coffee and donuts and they were good. The donuts had a very satisfying crunch to them. Coffee was strong and had good flavor!

Although the bakery and deli are connected to the casino next door, you don't hear casino noise inside the restaurant. However, when the casino door opens, cigarette smoke can drift into the dining area. Also, the restrooms are located through the casino. This wasn't a major issue for us, but it could be uncomfortable for anyone sensitive to cigarette smoke, those with asthma, or families with small children. The food was delicious, the portions were generous, and the prices were very reasonable. They also offer specialty coffees, Italian sodas, and an impressive selection of desserts, making it hard to leave without a treat! The restaurant is charmingly decorated and has a cozy feel. During our visit, the waitstaff was a bit short-handed, so a few tables hadn't been cleared right away. Even so, the staff apologized, worked quickly to make room for us, and provided excellent service despite being busy. We'll definitely be back to Schat's- the delicious food and incredible desserts completely won us over!

We got carried away and was a little surprised total cost after we picked a few items and 2 sandwiches. Worth checking out is the day-old section with 50% off that is in the left corner as you face the display counter. Sandwiches have quality meats and everything tastes fresh. Recommend the BLT; thickness and flavor bacon was perfect! Cold pastrami was a good quality meat. Note: only the fries come standard sandwiches. The other sides (onion rings, cup soup) are $2.00 upgrade. We tried the apricot coffee cake ($12.45). It was good (fresh and moist) but couldn't find anything special. I would have expected more pieces of the fruit .
