They had a lotta people at their farmers market booth and my guy and I incorrectly assumed that meant they were good. While we were waiting for our order, we got to try quite a few of their breads and some dips as they had samples and we genuinely didn't like any of them. It made us nervous for the Blueberry Turnover we ordered. The turnover was definitely better than all the breads had been, but not by much. It was baked nicely, but you couldn't taste any blueberry, just sugar. It was a truly disappointing baked treat. read more

I used to buy from them all the time, but since covid, the quality, quantity and service have taken a MASSIVE nosedive into the abyss of mediocrity! Bought some pastries and they were SOOO DRIED out, they were inedible! Then my daughter told me she had been to their booth at Wheeler Farm about a half hour before, and they were covered in flies, just sitting there. I was SOOOO grossed out! I have emailed Volkers several weeks ago, and NO ONE has gotten back to me. I guess they just don't care, they got their money for something that should have been properly stored or just thrown away. So sad to see their product and customer service decline so badly! read more

Went to wheeler farm farmers market the other day, by far the best bread and cheese cake i have ever had!!!!!

Volker's is an awesome bakery that sells their baked goods in the spring/summer/fall at local farmer's markets. They are one of my favorite stops in Park City on the Sunday farmer's market. They are also at Wheeler Farm's market on Sundays. My favorite is the streudel, which is filled with apple goodness and wrapped in their pastry dough and baked. We have also enjoyed some of their bread, croissants, and other special pastries. So glad tomorrow is Sunday and I can enjoy some more Volker's treats. Would love if they still sold their dancing bear shirts. read more

Well, I was in Ogden yesterday at the farmers market and we got a pie. We thought we were getting strawberry turned out to be peach we ordered strawberry but it was peach red around the edges. I would've said was strawberry but it wasn't it was peach and I have to give it to the taste and the texture. read more

Every time I have passed by Volker's Bakery, I've hoped to patronize them, and every time, any day, whether morning, noon, or night, it has been closed. The exterior appears rather downtrodden, but I thought the peeling paint and neglected landscaping might be deemed charming, depending on what is located within. Last Friday around 2pm, I arrived in Kamas, and lo and behold, Volker's cute wooden house-shaped trailer was open just west of the bakery. This was the first time I've seen it (normally the means of selling their wares at local farmer's markets) open here, but I do wonder if perhaps they now use the brick and mortar space for food preparation only. Regardless, here was the long sought after opportunity to get my hands on their baked goods, and I quickly swerved into the bakery's parking lot, walking the short distance to the truck. On the way, I girded my loins, ready to serve back whatever attitude I received from the snarky woman I expected to find inside, based on pretty much all Yelp reviews. Happily, this was entirely unnecessary, as she was nice and helpful, even offering suggestions when I struggled to decide between two items. Offerings consist of about ten bread varieties, filled pastries, and their house made dips. I selected a rosemary garlic cheese loaf, almond pastry, and blueberry pastry. Individual items are not marked with prices, but I paid about $15 for everything, so...a tad high, in my opinion. The almond was my favorite, and rather than the usual marzipan-esque filling, it featured chopped almonds, with a decently flaky exterior. The much raved about bread was disappointing. Fine, but the texture reminded me of much-too-soft super white Wonder Bread. I do have a high preference for crusty and toothsome sourdough loaves, so take that as you will. In an attempt to keep things fresh, all items were either pre-bagged, or covered in plastic, and I do wonder if that contributed to the limpness of their offerings, and if, fresh out of the oven, they might offer a crunchier exterior and better texture all around. Still, if your desire is baked sweets, you only have to venture a 1/2 mile to Kamas' famed Chevron, where you'll find superior treats at a much lower price. As far as bread goes, at least for me, I'll stick to the homemade version. Some of my favorite (and honestly, much more skilled) versions have been baked at home by those dear to me. read more

Stopped by their school bus stand in Park City, fun little stand for selling tasty baked goods and treats Orange cranberry bread: 4 stars Almond croissant: 3.4 stars Dark Chocolate cherry turnover: 4 stars Apple strudel: 4 stars read more

We stopped by their tent in Park City during a Park Silly Event to pick up some bread. Their booth was nice and the staff was happy to take to us about the different products they had on offer. Everything looked delicious but... We got an olive focaccia and a Tuscan sourdough loaf and both were just meh. The focaccia did not have that rich olive oil taste and was just dry. While the tuscan sour dough didn't have a nice crust, was dense and had almost no flavor. Look I'm a bread guy, I loooove bread, I make bread, I've been to bread classes, and I am excited to try new bread. But sadly this just didn't scratch any bread itch for me. So it will be a pass for me the next time I'm in town no matter how delicious it looks. read more

Volkers was at the farmers market in Salt Lake City and I was pumped to try it... but I was very very very dissatisfied. First, it started with the man working. He was very unpleasant. He acted like he was annoyed from the second we asked a question about the pastries. Nothing was labeled but he acted like he didn't want to tell us what things were. Next, the prices were kinda high. I think these came about to over $15 just for these two items. Lastly, the items weren't that great. They strudel had great texture, but some flavor was missing. Same for the ham and cheese croissant. read more

Volker's bread is a staple at the weekly June-October Farmers market in Park City. So here's a tip to get what you want: get there early! If you venture by after 4 - slim pickings. But what of the rest of the year? While out for a drive two weeks ago, I discovered the Volker's compound and out front : the Volker bread mobile! On a Sunday, during Covid lockdown - there it was...and it was OPEN! But...no attendant? And plenty of bread ... so how do I... SIGNS! Read the sign - Scan the Venmo code, buy your bread- we trust you. And if you don't have money, experiencing hard time? Take a loaf. German rye, Jewish rye, cranberry orange, jalapeño, mixed seed, garlic and rosemary...the choice is yours, and every choice is right. (Volker does have his bake shop nearby, and there you can find delectable pastries like apple strudel. ) read more

Volker's had a food truck in park city last winter that my mom and I enjoyed. Bought so much bread and pastries. Everything was great! Came to the holiday gift show at the event center and purchased ham and cheese croissant, an amazingly yummy fruit topped pastry with blueberry cream as well as 2 focaccia breads. Artichoke, pepper and parsley as well as pesto and olive. I warmed half of the artichoke focaccia in the oven for about 15 minutes and then we attempted to pull chunks off of it to eat with our pasta. It was raw. Still dough. I've made focaccia quite a few times myself and know what the texture should be like. It should be like bread. Not raw dough. Hoping if we cook the other half it will turn out ok. Also really hoping the pesto olive loaf I froze for turkey day isn't like the artichoke. What a waste of my hard earned money! read more

Lea shared her stollen. Best I ever had! Including my trips to Europe. I will be ordering some next season for my friends! My loaves are always delicious! If you would consider making smaller ones that would be helpful. I either have to freeze half or give it away. read more

I've tried...many times with Volker's but all my experiences have been very similar. I went to the Park City Farmers Market today (9/22/2021) and the Volker's stand was prominent and I decided to buy one of their breads. I spoke with one of the guys behind the counter and I decided on the Jalapeno/cheese bread. I bought it without looking at the underside and lo-and-beyond it was barely cooked and a very light brown, very "doughy". This is not the first time this has happened to me at Volker's. They don't seem to know how to bake/brown the bottom to make their bread crusty and it always turns out barely cooked and doughy. Very unappetizing and I wound out throwing the entire bread out. I'm being generous by giving Volker's 1 star as I would have given them zero (0) stars if available. I definitely do not recommend Volker's breads and I suggest going to The Market in Park City and look at their Red Bicycle Bakery breads. read more

Volker's Bakery - a burrito on a plate - Bakeries Near Me - Kamas, Utah

The pasty I had from here was ok. Nothing special to make up for the lackluster customer service or the fact that I purchased an expensive sauce, only to get home and discover that it had a rubber band floating around in it that just ruined it for me. I'm not fond of EATING RUBBER with my bread. Wasted money and lack of quality control always raised other concerns as well. No thanks. read more

Tasted their bear claw at The Home Show in SLC. Outstanding! Too bad this place is in Kamas. It's all about location location location. I'm from California and many years ago we had a lot of European bakeries. They were the best! No comparison to American bakeries. But, over the years, these bakeries have disappeared because the next generation did not want to carry on with their parents dreams. Bakeries have gone down hill...big time! I have to say, Volker's is definitely a taste from the past! I've searched many years looking for that one bakery that had that special European taste. This is it! Just moved to Utah recently....have no idea where Kamas is. Guess I'll have to google it. Hope it's not miles and miles away.... Would love to visit on a constant basis.. read more

Hit them up at the Farmer's Market for a Ham n' Cheese Croisant, Chocolate Croisant, and Cinnamon roll as well as a handful of bread samples. I came away very impressed and would definitely try them again. The Ham n' Cheese was a lot fancier than I was expecting, with a nice amount of thin cut Proscuitto and what I think was Gruyere sandwhiched in a buttery, flaky croissant. The chocolate was ok, about par for the course. The Cinnamon Roll was excellent, but you have to like a cream cheesey spread instead of the super sweet sugary spread most common in the genre. Roll was the perfect amount of doughy and the wet to dry ratio was spot on. The breads I tried were also fantastic from an Asiago Cheese that rivals Great Harvest, or the Jewish Rye that had a nice but not too strong earthiness. The three breakfast desserts came to around $10. read more

I saw this place at the Wheeler House Farm Fest. It is SO good! I got a focaccia bread and a chocolate croissant. I typically don't like focaccia bread, but got it for my husband. Tasted it on the way home and oh my goodness, I ate nearly half of it before I got home because it's so good. You can tell it's fresh/quality ingredients. The croissant is just as good. I paid $14 for both (total). Worth every penny. I was surprised it was so cheap with the quality. I'm definitely going to find them again at the next market read more

I found the Volkers truck on the very last day of the South Jordan, UT Farmer's Market AND so glad I did. I didn't have enough cash on me, but wish I would've bought more loaves. The Asiago Basil bread was to die for. My 19 year old daughter and I just kept tearing pieces off all weekend and it is made SO well. I also bought the last loaf of Jewish Rye with seeds. I was transported back to Hartford, CT where I grew up. This is LEGIT Rye. Thanks to the nice gentleman who helped me! I hope to find them again :) read more

Bread so good that I don't care that I've never received even what could pass as decent customer service from Volker's...yes, ever. I'll freely admit that I've only attended most (okay, all) home shows to obtain Volker's bread. I just don't get to Kamas all that often. When I do, you can bet my bread-addicted behind that I find them. Their Onion-Dill Cottage Cheese Bread ... I won't even attempt words for this. I prefer it lightly toasted. It's possibly my favorite bread ever. It has gotten to be a much smaller loaf for the $6-7 price tag. Oh yeah, I don't care about that either. Because I don't want to spend the time to make this bread at home. I could, too. But it's a real au bon pain. I also have a deep fondness for their Stollen, the Sourdough, the German Rye (unseeded), and pretty much any other of their non-cheese-based breads. I don't do the croissant (savory or sweet), nor the jarred products. Just the bread. Cons (which...I also obviously don't care about): 1. Their website - advertised freaking everywhere - doesn't exist. 2. It really pisses me off that this bread isn't more accessible to me. Then again, my aforementioned ass, and my bank account do thank you, Volker's, for the mercy. 3. $$$$ The price of this bread - or maybe I should say 'pricey-ness' - is really worth mentioning. If you don't have a sincerely profound, like core-deep love for bread that will assist you with life's existential quandries, please don't seek out this bread, pay a fortune for it, get astonishingly bad customer service, then get pissed off about it. It must be worth it to you; like it is to me. You've been warned. Volker's, I don't really care about you, your owners and management, your terrible staff, nor anything else...but your bread. And I'll continue to pay for it, at least as long as it makes sense in my bread-addicted brain. But I still won't love you. read more

OK-I will now finally give up on Volkers totally. As others have said, their products are really good to great, but I cannot imagine a worse customer service organization anywhere. If you phone them, they never return phone calls. You often have to phone since they are most often never open, even on the hours that they say they are scheduled to be open. If you drive all the way to Kamas, during their supposedly open working hours, most often you find their shop locked up tighter than a drum with no one around and nothing going on. When they are open, don't expect any smile's or courtesy-the service attendance are out of some other planet. Unbelievably poor in every respect. It's really too bad because as I mentioned they do have great breads, pastries and other baked goods. If somebody ever bought this business and turned it around with proper service attitude and approach to running a retail business, I'm sure it will be a gold mine. But as it is now, I will never go back and never buy their products even at the farmers market's that they sometimes attend. And by the way, they claim to have a website, but if you try to go there, there is no website! Another indication they have no sense of customers. Please stay away! Let's drive these guys out of business so hopefully somebody better can replace them. read more

Here's to the elusive bakery in a mobile truck which i see driving through Kamas (off the main road) and at the Canyons Farmer's Market. I had to do a bit of a research to find them online and make sure they were the right bakery (I couldn't remember the name). And it seems like their not Yelp technical savvy so here's the first post! Anyway, my parents love their cranberry walnut bread and stumbled upon them while they were visiting Park City from LA. I was planning to drive back to LA but my mom was raving about the bread so I decided to go buy her 5 loaves (I'm telling you, she loves it). I had to call in and find where their bakery was because it was in the wee hours before they opened up at Canyons. I didn't realize it but the phone # goes straight to Volker himself. He was friendly and told me to come by the bakery to pick the loaves up. I drive 20 mins east to pick up the bread and when I get there, his co-worker (maybe wife??) had attitude. She told me they didn't have that specific loaf and to come back tomorrow. WTF...I just drove 20 mins and need to head back, rush home to leave for LA and you're telling me that you don't have cranberry walnut which btw, you sell a lot of at the Farmer's Market?!? After some arguing, she finally says she'll go check her stock and lo-and behold they have a bunch of fresh trays of this stuff 10 feet away! I was soo angry and turned off that I decided I wouldn't go back but Volker called me after I texted him about the incident. I'm still on the fence about buying from them because of the horrid customer service but Volker is nice and the bread is great (even after a week in the fridge)! If I didn't have such a horrid experience, they might be getting higher rating. read more

For years, we have purchased loaves of Volker's Bakery Asiago Cheese bread at various mobile distributors wherever we could find them including the bakery in Kamas and sometimes other grocers. It is always a treat even though the price has steadily climbed over the years. Today, Aug. 28, 2021, we purchased a loaf at double the price which seems ridiculous. In addition we noticed that the bread doesn't only not taste the same but the look and texture is different. We were wondering if the bakery has changed hands or recipes or perhaps baking has been farmed out to other satellites. We have enjoyed this bread so much but if the next loaf is changed we may not be as eager to seek out Volker's high priced products. read more

Volkers Asiago Basil bread is amazing! Perfect texture & density, this bread melts in your mouth. The Asiago & basil flavor were well balanced and delicious! The only downside is that they don't have a store front in SLC (purchase at the Farmers Market). read more

Bakery?? The only thing this place has in common with a real bakery is the name. The only thing worse than the customer service is the product. Day old bread and whatever that pastry thing is, are all too expensive. If you are so brave as to try and purchase that $7.00 loaf of bread you will only be met with disdain from the clerk for ruining their quiet time. If this place was in NY it would have closed the second day. Bakery? Bakery? I don't think they even have an oven in Kamas unless that food truck parked out front is the oven. read more

After reading reviews it looks like they take the good stuff to the farmers market, the store front in Kamas is the worst bakery I have ever been to. It is tiny, it lacks appeal to the senses and eyes. It didn't even smell like a bakery, we wanted to turn and run, unfortunately a woman with a thick foreign accent asked if we wanted something, as if we were asking for directions. The small case had 4 different pastries, 3-4 pastries of each one. We must of looked doe eyed cuz seriously they all looked like they went across to the store and bought these. We were defiantly cautious. I got the cream cheese and blueberry pastry, my spouse got the a small cinnamon roll. There was no bread, or anything else appealing, no coffee, soda, milk or drinks of any kind. By the way this was on A Saturday. As we drove to our fishing spot we tried to choke down our dry pastries, thankful that we brought our own drinks. We usually like to give places second chances, I'm not sure if this will be one of them. read more

My wife who lived in Germany appreciated the true non american pastry that wasn't overpowered by sugar. You could taste every individual flavor from the pastry crust to the blueberries.
