Driving through Carson City: "STOP!!! I read about that place and we must eat something!" Hollers my brother in law who is visiting from NJ and has a bucket list of about 287 things he must try while he is here in Tahoe visiting. The entire family empties out of the car while I wait in the car with the air conditioning on and watch them as they troop back with big bags in tow. Inside, I discover a plethora of things like chocolate croissants and eclairs and chocolate cakes and I don't know what else because those sneaky tourists shoved half of whatever they bought into their gaping maws before they got back in the car and wouldn't tell me what they ate even though their lips were encircled with telltale smears of chocolate. I had the chocolate croissant for breakfast the next day with a hot cup of Irish tea and it was deeeeelishkous. read more

I went too early to find the dark rye bread I love but everything here is wonderful. Lots of seating in the outdoor patio and friendly service. I'll be back for cookies. read more

We stopped by Carson City to check out the town. It was so cold that day & very windy & decided not to ski. What a quaint place with delicious pastries, sandwiches along with tea & coffee drinks. They sold local honeys, jams , olive oil etc. we ordered different pastries accompanied by tea & coffee. Everyone in there was so friendly & down to earth. I would return again *only recommendation is the sign to the bakery shop is a little confusing to figure out where it's located read more

What a warm environment. The staff is mostly friendly and helpful. The baked goods are delish and keep us going back. Not to thrilled with the breakfast, but lunch's are great. Try their turkey sandwich will have you dreaming about it!! read more

Stopped in the bakery to check on Rye bagels. They do not have them. Decided to stay for lunch. My friend and I shared a pastrami Reuben. It was huge. A huge pile of delicious pastrami, sauerkraut, and thousand Island dressing on delicious Ryebread. They serve french fries on the side. We added hibiscus iced tea which was absolutely delicious. The price for two before tip was about $17.50. The service was quick. The help was very friendly and polite. There were only two other tables in the restaurant while we were there. They do have social distancing guidelines in place. After lunch purchase some fresh cookies and bread and a jar of barbecue sauce which was a surprise. It was a very nice time and we will definitely go back. read more

I am so glad they are in Carson City since it is just too far to drive all the way to Bishop for lunch! I have been here a couple of times since they opened their Carson store in the back of the Carson Mall. The space is a little cramped and usually busy - just like the Bishop Store, but does not seem to be as hectic. I ordered a make your own sandwich and a "cup" of soup. I put cup in quotations as it is huge. I would hate to think how big the bowl of soup is. The sandwich was sliced turkey and Gouda lightly toasted on Asiago bread with lettuce, tomato, and a little mayo. It was delicious and generous. I also ordered the potato soup which was rich and creamy and quite flavorful with chunks of potato and two slices of buttered toast on the side. The soup was ample for a meal so needless to say, I had lots of leftovers for another lunch the next day. All of the ingredients were fresh and the bread is the real star - soft with a lovely cheesy crust that held up remarkably well to the generous filling. Service is slow, but staff are friendly. You order from the counter and they give you a card with a number and bring the food out to you. Drinks are self serve. The atmosphere is casual. I usually try to find a seat in the back where it is a little quieter. There are some small tables for two or four and a few tables that comfortably seat a larger group. Be prepared for the food to take awhile to come out so don't plan to dash in and out. It is not cheap, my soup, sandwich and drink came to just under $17, but it really was two meals so that is not a bad price at all. read more

On quality of baked goods, this place is and absolute 5! I had a pecan roll that still haunts me....the memory of that warm, nutty, sugar dense, doughy treat that I inhaled with every single bite still lives with me one week later. This quality bakery was so unexpected in Carson City. It blew me away! They have one of those display cases of baked goods that is so perfect and so packed with so many spectacular looking baked goods that it could be in a photo shoot for a magazine. Come early, because surely this beautiful case and its bakery delights gets demolished by customers quickly....it would have to. You kind of want to rub right up against the glass of the display case and start drooling. They have breads, cookies, pastries, etc. I grabbed coffee and my roll to go. There are of these bakeries floating around in the states and the girls behind the counter indicated that the original Paul Schaats is somewhere in California. read more

Love this bakery. I'm no expert in commenting on baker but their bread and their pie are so yum. Worth highlighting how they chose to fill their product with fresh and abundant amount of ingredients, which in our last purchase, the apple slices and boysenberry. Too bad this is going to be the last season they make those delicious pies due to cost / inflation. read more

For years, I've been buying bread, baked goods, and lunch at Paul Schat's Bakery in Carson City. Their sourdough is the real thing - only flour, water, salt, and starter (always read the labels, since most "sourdough," including expensive "artisan" brands, use additives). It tastes like the old San Francisco sourdoughs of yore, but a little lighter. The family-owned business has been baking bread for six generations so they understand quality and excellent service. This weekend they have outdone themselves. So far, they've baked and given away more than 1800 loaves of that excellent bread - just to spread encouragement to all of us who are hunkered down. The bread was warm from the oven, fragrant, and as good as it gets. Walking home with the loaf under my arm I felt like Ben Franklin wandering for the first time into Philadelphia with two loaves under his arms. When I thanked Baker (and handyman, since he was refinishing some doors while he captained the delivery of the loaves) Isaiah Schat, he said "Well, we have to keep the starter alive, so we had to bake. So why not give back to our town? It was an Easter weekend to remember, one in the service of the holiday. When they reopen - go and buy some of the best baked goods you'll find anywhere. And say thanks to the Schats. read more

Lunch at Paul Schat's was packed. It seemed busier in this deli than it did on the streets. A lot of sweets to choose from. All looked very good. Ordered the Tri Tip sandwich. Not a mistake for sure. Very tasty. Good and generous steak, right amount of lettuce. Overall very good. Highly recommend checking it out if you're in Carson City. read more

Was so pleased to find this place in town!! The sandwiches are amazing and large enough for two meals! They have a cute seating area and of course the breads and bakery items are available as well. Service was great and staff was friendly. The fries were hot and fresh and both our sandwiches were fantastic. I also got a London Fog tea drink that really hit the spot. I sure wish we had one of the Schat's come to SACRAMENTO and open up a bakery! read more

Been there a couple of times. Pastries are great. Fantastic. Best in town. Kind of expensive. But you get what you pay for.

Best sandwiches in town! Their breads aye fresh baked and the soup in a bread bowl is the best. Pastries and cakes..., to die They also make lettuce wraps if you are low carb. read more

The bakery has outstanding goods, but the restaurant is even better. The sandwiches are very hearty, the meat sandwiches have loads of meat along with good fries. You'll really like this place. read more

Great lunch spot. Quick preparation and lovely service. Food is consistently good. Nothing mind blowing but sometimes you just want a good sandwich from a local spot and this place punches that ticket everytime. read more

This place is one of my favorite bakeries and I love going for both the great taste and the delicious smells from the fresh bread. Anyone looking for a great bakery should stop by here! read more

First time here! Its was a small local bakery in Carson City and I didn't know what to expect. They have a bakery side if you want to purchase breads, pastries, coffee drinks and another side if you want to dine in for sandwiches, soups, etc. I end up grabbing a cheese and spinach pastry and a hot mocha latte! I ask them if they can warm up the pastry for me and it was delicious!!!! read more

If you've driven along the Highway 395 corridor, then you know that the Schats family and their bakeries are pretty much an institution in the Eastern Sierras, with family members establishing their businesses in Bishop, Mammoth, and this location in Carson City. All of them are great stopping points for delicious baked treats, being almost Wonka-esque in the amount of fanciful and delightful indulgences held within their walls. The Carson City bakery, located in the Carson Mall, is a small but fantastic place to stop off for breakfast or lunch. Whenever I'm down in our state capital, I make it a point to swing by. Walking in, you see shelves simply packed with breads, rolls, pastries, tarts, and other myriad bakery goods. You cannot go wrong with just about anything in here. But for my money, I usually go with a ham-and-cheese croissant and a large coffee as my morning meal of choice. I tell you what, they load these croissants with so much cheese that upon baking, it all oozes out and envelopes the pastry in a halo of melted goodness. I'm also partial to their fruit pastries as well, being delightfully light and sweet. I'll usually also grab a cookie or two, or perhaps one of the other small, specialty pastries in the cases to have something sweet on the road. You can't help but notice the tables crammed full of bagged loaves of bread. I would certainly recommend snagging a loaf if you need one for your home, or especially if hosting some people. The breads come in a very wide range of varieties. From standards like whole wheat and sour dough, up through sweet glazed, dessert-oriented loaves packed with fruits and spices. Beyond the baked goods, they also offer a selection of various candies and treats, drinks, bagels, and even a full kitchen so you can order omelets, sandwiches, and other breakfast staples to either dine-in or to-go. But for my money, I forgo these options and stick with what they've proven time and again to be masters of, the baked goods. Prices are really decent, parking is ample, and service is always very friendly. Definitely make it a point to stop by when next you're in Carson. I know I will continue to do so. read more

Wow, I have been very unsuccessful in my pursuit of finding some great bakery goods. I walked in on a Saturday afternoon and the place was a mess. The tables were dirty with food all over them and there wasn't a single baked good in sight. Is this place closing? I tried to talk to the server there but we had a language barrier so I could not get the full story. So disappointed because I had been to the Schat's Bakery near Mammoth a few years aback and had an awesome experience. Located in the Carson City Mall but I'm not sure for how much longer. They were selling their butcher block tables. Hopefully they are moving and not closing. I'd like to come back and give them a try read more

The pastry snd bread selection is very good...but this was overshadowed by the 15 minute wait for an iced mocha...not very good first impression for us. read more

Rueben heaven and carrot cake that will change your perspective. Nice staff. Good service.

My husband and I last ate here about six years ago, and thought we would give it another shot this weekend as we drove home from Reno due to its many positive Yelp reviews. Well, last time we gave this bakery three stars , and unfortunately, today we are giving it just one. Why? For many reasons. First of all, the short, large-framed lady with long red hair who takes orders and works the register has a terrible personality. As I asked a few questions while placing our orders, she asked if I could read the large menu board above me, then complained when I asked to order a sandwich during breakfast time though the chef I spoke to said it was no problem. She threw the transaction slip and pen down hard on the counter for me to sign and rolled her eyes when my husband asked her to leave tomatoes out of his omelet. She was extremely rude and put out. Her whole demeanor just radiated anger and hostility. The server did not provide butter or jelly for my husband's toast and left her ear pods in her ears when I asked for some which made it difficult to hear my request. Additionally, the cookies, coffee cakes, and jellies were very pricy and were not marked with any prices. Many people were asking how much things were. I was going to get some cookies to take home but did not after I was told they were sold by their weight and a dozen could be over 20.00!!!!! The food we ate was tasty but portions were small and my sandwich did not come with chips, a side salad, or fries, like most other restaurants. For these reasons, we will not be back. Paul Schat's needs better customer service, and more reasonable prices. read more

Ate there yesterday. I ordered the hamburger, which said was 8 oz. sirloin. It was pre-made and the meat was gray. I don't know how they cook it since they don't have a grill, just a lady behind the counter making sandwiches. Microwave? It was horrible. I'm sure their cold sandwiches are good. Won't be eating there again. read more

Great dessert place and bread. Love their sandwiches. None has been disappointing. Service was not bad the times we were there. Great place to eat just wish they had more places to eat. Bathrooms needed service most times we have been there. read more

Tasty lunch, breads and jams. I strongly suggest you stop in today. The service is happy and the location is perfect.

If you like over cooked omelettes... come on by. Oh and don't forget the potatoes served with breakfast.. full of salt like they'd been soaked in salt water all night. Pastries are great. Food not so much. Won't be back anytime soon. Just so you can see... both were burned. Not cool read more

I have heard so much about this bakery, so when we were in Carson I made a special trip to get bread. Located on Stewart street, this location is tucked away on the backside of the Carson mall. We arrived just before lunch. It was not really crowded, but the lunch crowd, was slowly pouring in. Inside the store,it is like being a kid in a candy store. There is bread and danishes, coffee cake, and an area to order sandwiches. We bought three loaves, cinnamon raisin, sour dough, and cheese asiago. You really could go crazy here. I definitely will be back. read more

Shame on me for not checking my to-go order but I didn't think it would be possible to get a bad salad. I ordered a chef salad with no tomatoes and blue cheese dressing. I did go around 1PM which I guess is why it took 30 minutes for my order. I did not check my bag before leaving so I guess the fault is on me but what I ended up with was lettuce that was turning brown, ham, dry turkey, blue cheese dressing that was not very good, and some bread to cover up the bad lettuce. They correctly left off the tomatoes but forgot to add Swiss and cheddar cheese, and most of the lettuce was not edible. Very disappointing lunch. The only shining star was the cookie. (Not pictured because I ate while waiting) read more

A bakery that I kept hearing wonderful things about, but since they were in Bishop, I probably was not going to make it. Now they are in Carson City, much closer and worth the drive. They have so many types of bread, I got cheese asiago, sour dough, and cinnamon raisin. They also make pastries and sandwiches. Definitely will be back. read more

Going downhill FAST! The last two times I have visited for lunch the service has been unbelievably poor. First time, I came with my brother, we ordered the same exact sandwich and it took nearly 40 minutes to get out food. Literally had to ask the waitress twice where our food was, felt bad asking the poor gal because I knew she had no control over it. This also would have been understanding had the place been packed, but no it was steady at best. The second time I called ahead for a to go order. The lady on the phone told me 20 minutes. Literally 20 minutes later I show up ask for my order. The lady says it not quite ready. So I wait another 15, then ask again. Lady goes to the back and looks around only to find that my order was taken by someone else?!? Like how does that happen? I had been there for over 20 minutes and you give my order away to someone else? After that I get asked "You can reorder but it will take at least 20-30 for us to make" hahaha legit thought she was joking..but she wasn't. She wanted me to reorder my sandwich and wait another 30 minutes to receive it and that being on top of the 40 minutes I had already waited. What kind of customer service is that? Instead of an apology and please wait the sandwich will be on us. I the customer get punished even harder for your mistake? I ended up politely refusing and leaving, I know others who would have created a scene but that's just not me. I doubt I will be coming back anytime soon. Which is quite a shame as I enjoyed this place. read more
