What a wonderful little bakery/cafe this is. First room is coffees of many different varieties and then windows full of baked goods and sweet bites. Second room is the cafe that makes the best turkey soup and sandwiches. The prices for the portion sizes were VERY reasonable. Soup and full sandwich for under $20.00! I made 3 meals out of it and boy were both delicious! I did not try the sweets or pastries and I feel I won't be able to stop. Their breads are all made in house and you can really tell how fresh and good they are. Hands down my go to any time I come to Mammoth Lakes. The staff is very warm, friendly and professional. If you're in Mammoth, make sure to stop by here for a bite, coffee, pastries or a sweet bites. You won't be sorry! read more

Go to main shop and don't waste your time + $$$ here. This place is horrible and over priced. The food tastes so different from main shop - I would not even call it the same restaurant. The clam chowder was super watery and potatoes were 1 inch cubes or bigger. Could not even tell it was clam chowder. Bread they gave with the soup was also different from main shop. Eclair tasted like Hersey's chocolate sauce on top instead of real chocolate read more

Walked in en route to the Village in the morning and were in search of coffee and pastries. I got sensory overload upon stepping foot inside. There was a bakery section with all sorts of desserts and pastries in the front and seating area in the back. There is also another deli section in the back where you can order soups and sandwiches. Everything looked so good! It took us forever to decide on our order. Decided on a chocolate eclair and coffee. read more

Beautiful bakery, very busy and efficient, quick service. Reasonable pricing for elegant and beautiful creations. Cakes, pastries, cream puffs, cookies, various croissants, breads, rolls, donuts, coffee drinks. I purchased chocolate dipped butter cookies: OH MY GAWD, so good. I will probably visit this place again before I leave town. read more

Got a turkey sandwich. It was just okay. Good ingredients, just was missing something. Also pretty pricey for what it was. Decent size though. Pastries were good. The raspberry bear claw was the best thing I tried! Yummy, but could've used more raspberry. read more

October 19, 2025 A tourist trap with tourist seriously inflated prices. It's popular only because it's been there a long time. That's all. You can get bakery items like this at your local Vons, Safeway etc... in the bakery section just like Schats for half the price. Just sayin. read more

Schat's Bakery - Oct 20, 2025. Tourist trap with insane tourist trap prices. - Bakeries Near Me - Mammoth Lakes, California

This particular location is in Mammoth Lakes. I dropped by here twice but I wasn't able to get in the first time cuz I didn't know that they close at 6pm. So I went early on my next visit which was 3pm. To my surprise, they were already closing their doors and when I asked why, the lady wasn't able to give me a reason why. It seemed that they close the store when they feel like it. However, they let me in to grab one item quickly as promised. Because of this, I wasn't able to choose properly what I really wanted so I grabbed one item that's on top of the shelf. It wasn't something I really liked. I was glad though that I was able to snap a few pics. read more

Shame on you Schats. There are no prices for any product at this location, and no manager apparently. $7 for an apple turnover? come on. We have been coming to Schats on all our Mammoth trips for about 10 yrs now and I was very surprised why we saw no prices. the more i looked, I realized there are no prices for anything in the bakery side. It is now against the law to not post your prices. Effective July 1, 2024, California law (SB 478, the "Honest Pricing Law") requires cafes and restaurants to display prices that include all mandatory fees, such as service charges or automatic gratuities. Do better, Be Better. read more

Adorable little bakery. Love that they have freshly squeezed orange juice and fresh bread. Come early if you want the fresh juice because I was told they do sell out. read more

This location was very different from the other one in Bishop. It's def smaller and less items than the other one but still you get the fresh bread and goodies you crave. I absolutely love their fresh orange juice and don't mind paying those $7 for it. Love that they had a warm section with fresh breakfast croissants for those who are on the go like us to start a hike. They have a great seating area and nice views in the back to relax and enjoy your sandwich. They have a great sandwich station and you. A build your own sandwich which is great and very convenient with fresh ingredients and Bread most of all. Their coffee is great and we were able to try their hot chocolate with cinnamon and it was amazing! All the goodies we got and pastries were great! They even have a refrigerated area with drinks and jams and honey you can take home. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and spoke Spanish which I absolutely love, they had our orders out quick. Very hard working for sure. Love that they have this location as well for those who are in the area. Can't wait to visit again when we are in town. Def a must and love that they open early as well. Bathrooms were clean and love the tulip decor they had while making your way to the bathroom cute touch for sure. There is a big parking area so that's not a problem. Love the location as well it was close to our BNB. read more

Haven't been to Mammoth in years but used to go a lot when we were kids and I remember going to Schat's. I had stayed a couple nights in Bishop a few years ago and ate at that Schat's in the morning so I thought the Mammoth location would be about the same. It's quite a bit smaller and still a full bakery but nothing like Bishop so just know that. I couldn't find pricing on anything anywhere except a price for a dozen donuts at $32.50 which seemed high but I think that might have been for any donuts such as the fancier ones. I tend not to buy anything if I don't know the prices but we did pick up a sandwich in the back. They didn't have all of their breads available (I'm assuming because it's not only the off season but a weekday) but a pastrami on rye was good and it came with a pickle wedge and chocolate chip cookie. read more

I have a very picky child and asked for a recommendation. My son LOVED the most amazing squaw bread. I also bought lots and lots of chocolates. Can't wait to try them all with family. read more

I came in around 1pm during a weekday with two employees behind the register and it was still slow lol. They were mostly out of goodies so this was definitely interesting. Definitely prepare for "mountain time" because things do feel like they move like molasses. So plan your time accordingly. The chocolate cake slices were so so good. I can't wait to come back and order it again. Best item I tried. A second best was the cinnamon twist donut. Good flavor. Not doughy and light enough. Something I would not get again would be: thumb print cookies. The breading was too sweet and the jam on top had the consistency of jello. Definitely put too much gelatin in the jam or something. Would not recommend it. Overall like the others have mentioned, the location in Bishop is night and day compared to this location. read more

Schat's has been around since forever and I've been coming here year after year. The bakery items are always fresh and tasty. Their sheepherder's bread is a must try! It's so fluffy and the crust is so good. They come in original and different flavors as well. They serve sandwiches, and I like to order it with the sheepherder's bread and roasted turkey. The turkey was warm and delicious. A whole sandwich costs almost $18 (doesn't include cheese or avocado), which is too expensive in my opinion. Yes, the sandwich was really good, but I don't know if it's worth the price. Each sandwich also comes with a pickle and cookie. The service for the sandwiches was pretty slow. Even though the line was short with only a few people, they seemed understaffed and only had one or two workers helping out with making the sandwiches. We were in line for almost 20 minutes, which is a pretty long time for a grab-and-go type of sandwich shop. The inside dining area has plenty of tables and seating, perfect for small or large groups. Overall, Schat's is a staple of Mammoth with great pastries and sandwiches, but unfortunately the downside is the increasing prices. read more

This is not about food at all, because I never even got a chance. About to order some goodies when next thing you know, this woman started sweeping the floor literally towards me and my family. As all the dust started going to us, We moved and she still didnt stop. When I asked her why she needed to sweep TOWARDS us, she just kept mumbling that she just needed to sweep. Never once did this woman, Michelle, apologize to us. The other woman, apologized instead. I got the manager's number. I'm making phone calls tomorrow. read more

A big YUM! High quality baked goods in quantity! Walk slowly thru the racks so as not to miss anything. Gooey pull aparts. Breads, cookies, pastry... too many choices! A must stop in Bishop read more

I really did want to love this place. Walked in and enjoyed looking at all of their selections and ended up buying a ciabatta loaf and a chocolate chip cookie. I figure I'd start with some basics. The loaf was good, until you got to the center of it. Then it got really doughy. As for the cookie... oh, the cookie. How do you ruin a chocolate chip cookie? It was very crumbly. Maybe it was old? Even though I got there in the morning. And it had no taste... no flavor whatsoever. No chocolate, no sweet, just, flour? It was weird. It was so bad, it got thrown away. And I would never throw away a cookie. And as for the sandwiches next door... I couldn't justify paying $18 for a sandwich. I don't care how good it is... no sandwich is worth $18 unless there's seafood in it. And even then... it would be difficult. Didn't get a chance to try other bakeries in the area, but, I'd recommend those first. read more

I can't believe this place doesn't have better reviews. I went twice in a week, and tried lots of things from sandwiches to baked goodies. Highlights were the turkey sandwich on homemade brown bread (the turkey was legit like thanksgiving not like slices) and all the signature shortbread cookies. The almond shortbread was magical, and I gave my friends the sprinkle cookies. Those sprinkle cookies caused my friends mom to see if they will ship to Los Angeles! Super cute place, friendly, line for fresh sandwiches just as fast as subway but made 100% gourmet. When I go back I have a list of things from the bear claw to the cinnamon roll to try! read more

just waited in line 25-30 minutes on a Friday morning just to buy some baked goods for my staff that has been working on a construction job. There was 15 people in line ahead of me, so I was expecting a wait. After 5-10 minutes, we realize that only one employee is helping all of us. All the while the other (3) employees were either grinding fresh orange juice.(blonde haired lady.), packaging loaves of bread.(shorter Hispanic lady with glasses.), or counting out tips.(Hispanic lady with a long ponytail.). This was all happening in view of the customers in line which made it even worse. 100% of people waiting in line were commenting on how ridiculous this was. almost like the staff didn't want to help the customers. That is what should come first., IMO. if they don't "want to work there", they should get jobs elsewhere. read more

It's getting pricier every time I come back, which seems annually. But still a nice experience, unique, and one of a kind. So they are so busy and always full. I enjoy their mDe to order classic sandwiches. This time I tried number 4. Roast beef. The taste, quality, and overall value was good. Of course once you step in you will always buy freshly baked famous breads and sweets. Nice hard working people as well plenty of workers in this little bakery and deli place. read more

The sandwich was good; however, the portion was large, so I saved half for later. When I went to eat the other half a couple of hours later, the bread had hardened and was no longer enjoyable. The walnut pull-apart bread was pricey, and unfortunately, it did not taste fresh or flavorful. Overall, this was disappointing. read more

I recently experienced one of the best cannolis of my life at this bakery. Judging by the exterior of this building, I had thought that it was a Swedish bakery, which is why I stopped in. I was hoping to find something like my favorite marzipan cookies from Solvang. I was surprised to see mostly American chocolates, donuts, cookies, and cakes. A few of the cookies looked good to me, but I decided to order the very last cannoli left for the day. My mom is half Italian, so I've experienced plenty of "authentic" cannolis in my life. This particular cannoli was by no means authentic, but it was amazing, and beyond delicious. Rather than a traditional cannoli shell, the espresso-flavored cream was wrapped in a sticky Florentine style cookie. Every single ingredient tasted as fresh and perfect as could be. It was quite pricey at nearly $8, even though it was on the larger side. But it was so delicious that I couldn't resist eating the entire thing before leaving Mammoth. The inside and outside of the shop were super cozy, cute, and clean. The women working inside the shop were friendly. I would definitely stop by here again next time I'm in town. read more

We were recommended to stop here to pick up bread. Stopped about 7:30am A few loaves on the table but more being freshly baked. I waited 5 minutes for a fresh loaf of honey squaw break.

I expected more out of this location; I thought it would be like the bishop store. It's an ok stop for a quick snack and maybe some coffee.

The croissants are good, there's a sausage with egg and cheese that I enjoy as well as the ham one. I also enjoyed the raspberry filled bear claw although I would love for it to have more raspberry. There usually is a line so as long as you know what you want it keeps moving smoothly yet there are so many options. There's inside seating and some patio seats out front and plenty of parking. The atmosphere is causal, order and go if you need to get somewhere or sit relax and enjoy. read more

Sandwich Heaven :) To be honest, I mainly go here for their sandwich and skipped the pastries lol because their breads are freshly baked and their ingredients are freshly sliced into perfection :) Not to mention their customer service is always on point and servers are seem to always happy. I love the place because of its simplicity and on the go if you're in a hurry. Anyway.. lets talk about their mouth watering sandwiches... Their sandwiched reminds me of shopping in a farmer's market because of its simple ingredients, but nonetheless flavorful to the core in each every bite. I ordered their half and half sandwich/ soup, which is my suggestion especially in a cold weather. I ordered their pastrami sandwich and tomato basil soup.. yummm! Their half sandwich feels like its already bigger than an ordinary sandwich, so adding a soup to my pallet is adviceable lol. My girlfriend ordered the same combo, which she chose a tuna sandwich and their peas soup. Damn their peas soup is legitly good and she loves every single scoop of it. Of course she loves the sandwich as well cause of its freshness. Overall, a must place to go whenever you're in Mammoth... you won't regret it! read more

Firstly, know that the baked goods are delicious and beautifully made. Their sandwiches are freshly prepared to order depending on what they have (read further down) The food deserves 5 stars. The service however, is the opposite story. The sandwich counter in the back was out of several sandwich items (seems like poor planning), the card reader was broken, they struggled to take big bills after breaking their own register open with a butter knife, and the sandwich staff spoke limited broken English. The bakery counter staff has its own struggle. The bakery staff seem rather annoyed that you wish to purchase their pastries and are very curt, accompanied by some eye-rolling. Baked goods and sandwiches, A+++ Service: solid D read more

A TRULY SCHATTY CAKE! For 100$, Schat's truly screwed up this cake! To top it off, the service was extremely rude and the only reason we were able to pick it up was because we begged and had prepaid. This was because the lady working decided to spontaneously close early and refuse customers. Aside from the terrible service, the cake did not even taste good. read more

We visited here before our road trips back home because it was more convenient than going to the original Bishop bakery, which we normally do. This location has its own style, and is owned by a different family member than the one in Bishop. With that said, the setup is slightly different. The menu does not have pre-selected sandwich choices, but is more of a build-your-own style. Coming in with the expectation that this bakery is just a smaller version of the Bishop location, we were a tad disappointed not finding familiar favorites. However, less crowds and lines were a plus! The sandwich was very good, nonetheless, but it came at a high price point for what it was. If you fall into adding all the available toppings, your sandwich could end up becoming more stuffed than you like, as they are generous with selections. We also ordered a chocolate cake from here during our visit, and that was really tasty and highly recommended. There is some seating outside, but just be careful because the umbrellas weren't very stable during our visit - one of the umbrellas nearly missed knocking out half our party by a few inches! Besides that scare, our tastebuds were pretty satisfied for our long drives back! read more

The other Schat's bakery in the Eastern Sierras. Even though this location isn't as nice as the location in Bishop, there are plenty of amazing dessert options to make it worth your time to stop by.
