The interior has been completely renovated and looks nothing like the bakery of the 1980s and 1990's, it's lovely.

Two women assisted me and we had a great chat about what the bakery was like long ago vs today. Beautiful ladies who were friendly, thoughtful and represented the bakery well. Nostalgic. Just like the days of my youth but better.

Not expecting too much from the coffee in one of the remote regions of California, I was pleasantly surprised by how good the coffee was. I asked the bakery staff if they made their coffee and was informed that it was made locally in Bridgeport and delivered fresh weekly to them. I have drank coffee from all around the world, nothing beats local fresh roasted coffee made with TLC. You can taste the difference when it is made fresh, than something that have sat on the market shelf for months. I was able to track down the company that made their coffee, it is made locally in a tiny small town in the Sierras, the higher altitude does something to the coffee. Even brewing coffee in higher evevation, you have to tweak the process, so roasting at the higher elevation changes the taste as well. The depth of taste in the coffee was what I noticed with my first sip and the weight of the taste in the tongue. It was not too heavy, but very aromatic and no after taste. After I got home, I researched and found that they operate an online shop. I ordered some coffee, the coffee arrived very fast, and was packaged well. I made my normal brew and it was even better than when I had it in Bishop. Great find at Erick Schat's, which lead me to finding this local roster. Overall, very high quality locally roasted coffee from the high mountains in the Sierras.

If you love coffee that actually tastes like coffee (and not liquid sugar), this is your place.

The barista who assisted us was incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home the second we walked in.

There is also outside seating as well. We ordered a cappuccino and ice coffee. The coffee is bold and smooth, no hidden flavors detected. The shop has some breakfast and lunch offerings as well as a few different baked goods. They also have a clean restroom for customers, as every good coffee shop should. Walker Coffee Company also has a gift store/fly fishing vibe with hats, shirts, cups, and fly fishing equipment. I also noticed a sign for fly fishing guide service. The shop was extremely clean and the staff very welcoming. This is a must stop when traveling through Walker! Their Summer hours are 7 days a week 7 am - 5pm.

This store is a very critical stop for anything you'd need in between big shopping trips out of town. It has a good variety of touristy souvenirs, pantry staples, grocery items (meat, dairy, some produce), and items you'd find at a hardware or drug store. If you are in town for a fishing trip and need supplies...if you are passing through and want to pick up some snacks or goodies (try the Bridgeport Coffee Roasters coffee beans--they are delicious!), then this is a great stop for you.

I tend to love shopping at these local markets when visiting smaller towns in the Eastern Sierra because they typically have great local goods, fun merchandise, quality local charm and character, and lively local operators who are happy to see you there. We popped into this shop in search of water and some ice cream novelties, which we certainly found, but beyond that, it was pretty bare bones and basic. The shelves were also pretty sparse, and the selection a bit thin too. Usually you can find just about anything you need in one of these stores, but unfortunately I'd say that you'd need to visit here and Ken's to guarantee you'll find what you need and may even find yourself driving to the next town for certain things. The shop is good in an emergency moment, but could be much more.

It was previously a worthy stop-off when the trip north or south was long and you needed a decent quality comfort-food bite on the fly. Sadly, this restaurant is now crossed off my list of options. Pricing here has gotten out of control (a hamburger is 30-35 dollars....a *hamburger* ?!?), with service nothing particularly special. So you will be paying roughly double, or more, for the price of a menu roughly equivalent to the quality of an Applebee's. The restaurant will argue these are the new inflationary market prices, supply demand dynamics, summer travel pricing to offset slower winter travel season, etc etc. But reaming the customer ain't a great recipe for having folks like me ever returning. It simply isn't worth it to dine here anymore, so I will keep driving past Virginia Creek Settlement and wave.

They also have plenty of seats indoor as well. Their menu is extensive, mainly serving burgers, sandwiches, salads, or soup with some pastries available at the counter or fridge. My partner ended up getting their Mono Burger while I got their Salad and Soup (Soup of the Day). We chose to do outdoor seating and there were quite a few birds flittering around. Our order came relatively quickly. Soup of the day today was sweet potato soup and it is just like it's name - a creamy sweet potato soup and it was yum. No frills or anything added which is perfectly great. As for the salad, it was just a standard house salad with some lettuce, tomatoes, croutons and such. I opted for the honey balsamic dressing and it's a nice, fresh choice after backpacking. My partner's burger was massive. It came with 1/2 lb beef - it was a massive meat patty! But he said it was delicious and well earned. We also got a salted caramel brownie which was decadent!

This is not fast food, but after a ten or fifteen minute wait, our entrees arrived at our table. Husband had the Roman Caesar salad, so loaded with grilled chicken and bacon that he couldn't finish it all. Tasty dressing, crisp lettuce, cheese. What's not to love? I ordered the Japanese Rice Bowl, which came with grilled salmon over rice, field greens with sesame dressing and a nifty wasabi mayo drizzle. Wow, this quality entree was $22 but worth it! I am sure it would bring $30 if served on china with table service. Definitely worth a stop for this dish again. I will say the menu choices were limited for me because the tacos, bulgogi and nachos are only available in pork (which I cannot consume due to food sensitivities). However, many burger, chicken and fish dishes are available. It would have been nice to have the bulgogi beef I order in most Korean restaurants. But, I was super happy with my entree and experience here. Also, there was a private political gathering in the dining area that was wrapping up when we arrived. They appeared to have commandeered all of the tables, but we squeezed by and found one free spot in the corner. In these temperatures, we were glad to dine in the AC.
