Schat's Bakery

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.

A mandatory stop on the way to mammoth and on the way back. Their baked goods and sandwiches are so good! Always busy but moves fairly quickly for hot sandwiches. I usually get sandwiches, sourdough breads, some coffee cakes and donuts. It's literally a one stop shop! Can't ever go wrong!

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.

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.
