So charming
Cheryl C.

First time at Schat's in Minden but love the Carson city store so tried for lunch! This bakery seems bigger with a lot of variety and I always ask for gluten free and not disappointed with the selection! Almond cookies and chocolate dipped macarons are my favorite! We ordered at the window and got the Mammoth BlT with fries to share, plenty for two unless you have a huge appetite! Old buildings here with tons of charm, enjoyed lunch and the drive here!

1st time in this location, service was great, late was strong and on point, order a gingerbread man (was burned...hence 4 stars

Bread and cookies

Absolutely love the atmosphere here it's cozy, quiet, and welcoming. The customer service is always great and makes the experience even better. I ordered the Coco-Moco with a delicious cream puff, and it was amazing. One of my favorite things here is definitely the pizza bagel, it never disappoints. They also have amazing lunch options, from burgers to sandwiches. My boyfriend especially loves the blu arugula burger. Such a great spot to relax and enjoy great food. Highly recommend!

Cooks Station and tables as well as booths, counters and take-out

The atmosphere is that of a nostalgic bakery in quaint old town Minden, always decorated for the season. They are attached to a small casino, and the restrooms are accessible through the double doors. The Menu is posted on the chalkboard signage on the walls. However, the pastry cases and carts will have your eyes popping and your mind spinning with what you'll pick. Don't worry--you can take as much home as you can carry! Seasonal baked goods and cooked-to-order options are on the menus at the register. Plenty of Hot specialty Beverage options as well as a soda machine. Service is friendly. Overall, it's a must-have, must-stop every time we are in the area.

3/9/2025: First-Born Daughter and I made a point visiting Paul Schat's second bakery location which is extremely close to the Kingsbury Grade rather than visiting the Carson City location. This location is a larger restaurant establishment located next door to a casino--the restrooms are inside the small casino. We ordered 2X hot Pastrami sandwiches . . . We ordered at the Cash Register, take a number, and wait for our sandwiches being delivered to our table. Unfortunately, the sandwiches had MUCH to be desired, i.e., the sandwiches were not fabulous which was surprising. Sadly, the sandwiches were not loaded with Pastrami as MOST establishments load the meat piled high. We won't be ordering Pastrami sandwiches in the future due to only ONE THIN SLICE OF PASTRAMI was on EACH of the sandwiches plus, review my receipt what I paid for the 2X Pastrami sandwiches--WTH!!!! The ONLY saving grace was purchasing the baked goods which Yelpers can readily review my purchase: Black Russian Rye Bread, coffee cake, fruit tart, Haystacks, Macaroons, chocolate nut chew, and a cinnamon roll!

Dutch dip
Kristina D.

Schat's is a great place to stop in for lunch and a sweet treat. I got the Dutch Dip with sweet potato fries, and they did not disappoint! They were some of the best sweet potato fries I've had recently! I also liked the dining area. There's plenty of booths to sit at which gave it a cozy vibe.

Delicious cakes and cream puffs
Shayzima S.

I love this bakery but do NOT get the burger. The best part of the burger was the pickles and tomatoes. Can't eat the burger and I'm not picky but it just isn't tasty AT ALL. However, their baked goods looked delicious.

Chicken club sandwich

If you're looking for a hidden gem and you're in the Minden Gardnerville area definitely make sure you swing by shots not only are they known for their pastries. They offer for breakfast and lunch as well, which is completely off the hook. If you are the true food or culinarian that likes to support a local young Chef this is a place to do it. There's definitely a bright future for this location.

Good food, great music, and friendly staff. They were quick and always were asking us if we needed anything.

5/6/2023 Who doesn't enjoy visiting a bakery.. especially one that is rather new.. Finally made it down to this location.. The design and atmosphere felt like it was a holiday.. Line was long and lots of baked items in stock. I know the next visit, will be scrumptious!

There's both indoor and outdoor seating, plus a charming little gift shop tucked into one corner featuring unique gifts, including items from local artisans. The building feels modern and well maintained, and they even have a private indoor room that can be reserved for larger groups. The menu offers a great variety of specialty coffees, desserts, sandwiches, and wraps. Best of all, they have several gluten-free options for both meals and desserts, making it a fantastic spot for anyone looking for delicious gluten-free choices. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in the area. LA Bakery is a wonderful find!

Visiting Carson City for the first time in years, I had really high hopes for this place. When we…read morewalked in I really liked how it was decorated and it had a good vibe. We came for breakfast and we had a very simple order. It consisted of a breakfast burrito, Gold Latte, a coffee and a lemon poppy seed muffin. It shouldn't be too hard to fulfill this order right? Wrong! My breakfast burrito and Gold Latte came out first. The burrito was good and the Gold Latte was also tasty. The woman that dropped off my order asked if we had anything else coming. I told her we had ordered a lemon poppy seed muffin. She never came back. Another woman came over with a muffin but it was blueberry. Wrong again. At this point, we decided to skip the muffin and I requested my money back since I was getting frustrated. No apology either for not being able to get the order right. I love supporting a women owned business but I just found it hard to understand how a simple order could confuse so many people. Perhaps there is an issue between the front of the house and the kitchen?? Maybe it was an off day but it did not seem that way.

Not sure what people are raving about with this place. Everything looks and tastes like it came in…read morefrozen from a wholesaler and then just defrosted. We got a chocolate croissant (only decent thing I got, but don't compare it to an artisanal made croissant where it's a dark golden brown with flaky crispy buttery layers). Their "croissants" are more like anemic, soft, moist bread. Also, got a cheese Danish. Starbucks sells a better cheese Danish than this place. The Danish was dry and hard and the center filling looked like it was pre-made frozen and just placed on top of the Danish. Finally, the worst of the worst, I got a personal size dutch apple crumble pie. Now THIS looked like it was made from scratch and I had hopes for this one. However, I took a piece of the crumble topping and ate it. It had an unusual funny taste. Almost like it was made with lavender. Didn't taste quite right. Then, when I got back to my hotel, I really dug into it. It wasn't just the crumble that was off, but the entire pie tasted of rancid spoiled butter. I had to spit it out, it was horrible. I can't believe they would serve that. I don't know how old that thing was, but they need better quality control. The only people I could see giving this place 5 stars on the food, are locals. Tahoe is behind when it comes to quality high end artisanal pastries. I have yet to find a decent coffee shop. Their sign boasts "Voted Best in Tahoe", but you'll see that almost every spot here has the same sign, from ice cream shops to bakeries to whatever else because there's literally nothing here. If you're from a big city, don't come here. Service was pleasant. No complaints.

Where in Tahoe can you find fresh baked goods for $3? The gentleman inside was very nice too. We walked over from our hotel. Parking didn't seem to be a problem. I cut into the concha and it is light and not too sweet at all. And, not dry! Haven't bitten into the cookie yet because it's for the grandchild.

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.
