Best sandwich I've had in a long time! Busy place but the line moved quickly. So fresh and delicious can't wait to return

Pretty decent sandwiches. The bread is soft and delicious. Not the best ambiance but it's a solid spot for lunch in Bishop.

Yes! Just passing thru, on our way to find the Tesla charger. I love supporting local places. Great sandwiches and omg, the pastries. By the time we ordered and ate, our charge was complete. read more

Internet says it opens at 6:30 and I called to place an order and the employee hung up on me. I called back and she told me to stop calling and hung up again. So rude. I later realized it opened at 7. Employees at Schat's Bakery are always nice. read more

This place is a must while visiting Bishop CA. We came in to get us some breakfast and we left with several bags of bread .. the staff was very friendly and helpful making sure we knew what was day old bread and what was freshly baked.. the ambience is super chill and relaxed.. definitely worth a visit read more

I'm in heaven. Don't waste your time going to that kitschy place (schats). This bakery is by far the best bakery I've been too. Let me start off with their scrumptious array of breads. We stopped by on day one (Thursday) of our camping trip. We wanted to get some bread for quick sandwiches. We were lucky enough to show up on Asiago bread day. What a treat! Every day should be Asiago bread day . We ate the bread like a pack of hungry raccoons at our camp site. It's not just the breads, they have soups. Ohhhhh the soups.-not something your craze in the heat of summer BUT you have got to try the soup of the day. We had mushroom Brie and roasted bell pepper and Asiago soup. Both were delicious, I had a spinach and artichoke croissant to top off my glutinous eating spree. The good/bad-bad they are so damn far away but good because I could easily gain 30 lbs eating here every day. You won't be disappointed stopping by here on your way through Bishop. Trust me, stock up on the breads and soups (I know a bit crazy but worth it) on your way thru this quaint town. read more

We were excited to try this place based on the reviews. What a disappointment! There are no posted prices and they did not give us a receipt! It was very pricey! We got one sandwich, one cookie, one baguette, and one jar of honey for just under $30, and it wasn't anything special. The service was not particularly helpful. All in all, we wish we had gone to Schat's. read more

Great Basin Bakery - Can you find the prices? - Bakeries Near Me - Bishop, California

I am writing this review after going to the Great Basin Bakery and reading some of the reviews. It seems I've had the same experience as others. We walked in and was excited to see all the home made goodies. After reading a review from 2018, there are still no prices on the menu board and no receipts are given. They forgot something in my order so I'm not sure I paid for it or not. I added up what I could see the prices on the online menu I think he charged me for 2 oatmeal cookies that I never got. I have no receipt to show. I started ordering and expected the guy to pick the cookies as I was ordering, but he didn't move from the cash register. So he forgot the order I guess when he went to get the cookies. He seemed irritated I had to ask for prices of everything but there's no prices anywhere. Its a cute place. But I have to agree with others the customer service is lacking. So if you read this. I got 1 bag of mud Sierra, 1 bag of cowgirl, 2 lemon cookies and 2 peanut butter cookies. How much should I have paid? Thanks read more

On my way up to Mammoth sometimes I stay in Bishop the night before to save driving time. Apparently this one pace has been around for 13 years. I wish someone would have given me the 411 earlier. They have all sorts of in house fresh made breads, pastries, bagels and cookies. I had the breakfast Sammy on a croissant which was great. It's packed with locals which is always a good sign. They also have an extensive selection of sandwiches for lunch as well. Say hello to my new little friend! read more

Stopped here for a quick breakfast on our way home from Mammoth. Got there short line was going to get a egg sandwich but we didn't want to wait instead I got a lemon scone. Holy smokes it was delicious so tender , soft just the right amount of lemon flavor and glaze it was not crumbly at all . I am sure heated with Devon cream it would be amazing ! Hubby got a cranberry bagel he said was delicious. We also got three cookies to try : lemon butter , molasses spice and PB ! So glad we stopped we will be back . The breads looked good too . read more

Perfect place for a quick bite when traveling on 395. The bakery goods (bagels and croissants) were excellent. Quick, clean and speedy.

We love this place! We work across the street and come here almost every day. The food is healthy and delicious (try the spinach salad or a sandwich!) or a guilty pleasure, (the molasses or lemon cookies are to die for!), depending on your mood. The staff are efficient and friendly! A few are even bilingual which is always a plus in our community. This is the place to go! read more

Best bakery in town! Went for breakfast and everything we got was fantastic. -Bagel with lox and capers (would add onions and tomato next time) -Everything Bagel breakfast sandwich with turkey -Cheese Bagel with cream cheese and turkey - Lemon Scone, so good! -Cinnamon roll unfrosted, Amazing! (My husband ordered it but I had to steal a few pieces) -Blueberry Muffin, not sure why it's hard to find good muffins, but this place knows how to make them!!! Had to get a fresh loaf of sourdough for the road, soft and smelled amazing! Family of four and everyone commented on how much they loved. We will be back! read more

I LOOOOOOOVE this place!! Please try: The jalapeño cheese bagel, pecans with minced rosemary/brown sugar/butter, jammin thumbprint cookies, Mt Tom turkey sandwich, red pepper Gouda cheese soup, fresh sourdough bread, omg the list goes on and on!! read more

Best Breakfast Bagels in Bishop This place was recommended to me by many of my local friends and family in the area. I was a little reluctant to try it out but am overjoyed that I finally did. Being an early riser I was pleased that they were open earlier than most places in Bishop. They open at 6 a.m. and close at 4 p.m. Monday - Saturday and on Sunday they optat 6:30 a.m. and close at 4 p.m. not a bad deal if you are up early and hungry. I had the jalapeño and cream chese toasted bagel. It was fresh with just the right amount of spice that I needed. After my spicy breakfast bite, I had the mini cinnamon rasin roll. It was amazing fresh and delicious. I was very satisfied with my order. The restaurant was spacious, clean with polite staff. Prices were reasonable and they had an excellent hot and cold beverage selection. read more

Cute bakery in this small town! The entrance is off Lagoon Street, not Main Street. I've stopped here a couple of times on my way up the mountain to get scones and bagel sandwiches and they're both bomb! There's a variety of scones to choose from and they're all delicious, but you'll have to get there early as they will sell out. The bagel sandwiches are really good and you get to choose your meat and type of bagel you want. You can also switch the bagel for a croissant which I think I'll try next time. The workers are all really friendly and sweet as this is a family owned business. They also sell fresh cookies and coffee. Definitely a must-try breakfast spot in Bishop read more

So gooood! No lines either!!! Almost didn't want to post in case the big crowd from that other bakery in town comes here, but my Yelp conscience prevailed. You are welcome. read more

Tucked away, in a part of town that you most likely wouldn't come across unless you were a local, is this delightful bakery churning out moist cookies, fun filled croissants, bagels and scones that have created a bit of a cult following. Recently, my girlfriend wiped them out of their orange chocolate chip scones before 6:40am on a Monday morning. We were dying laughing because she purchased every single one. With all the times that I've been to Bishop, and my prolific use of yelp, I somehow missed this little gem. I guess Schat's overshadowed them, but I'd say Great Basin has it's own strengths, and definitely worth a visit if you are in town. I know that Schat's is going to take the back burner to Great Basin Bakery on my future Bishop visits. read more

Stopped here on the recommendation of the inn keeper at McGee Creek Lodge He said their items were even better than the big bakery in town and he wasn't kidding. Cookies and sandwiches are delicious. The Bread is cooked to perfection, not slightly burned. They donate to the local food panty and have a variety of gluten free/vegan options. Try it! read more

Awesome small bakery that feels like more of a locals spot. The sour dough here is really great and the pastries/cookies/pies I've had have all been amazing. read more

I have been around the world a four or five times and this bakery is in my top five. I absolutely Love this bakery. This is a lovely down to earth place to go to. We load up for trips or just camping in and around Bishop. Counter service style with a smile, baked goods, sandwich, and other delicious treats. Something you won't know till ya Go! Everything I have tried has been fresh and a great start and finish to my day If you have never had Great Basin, this is the place to go. read more

We'll that was a bit of awesome! Off the main road enough to allow the majority of tourists to pass, but easy enough to get to. Great sammiches and we have cookies for coffee later. Super friendly family atmosphere - all the employees were engaged and smiling. We'll stop again when we next pass through. read more

I come to Bishop at least once a year to do photography and we always stop into the Great Basin Bakery. It's a must stop and we skip the other bakery in town. Met the owners on a hike once - super lovely people. The Sierra Mud Cookies are absolutely amazing (despite being Gluten free) and I always take a bag of cookies home. All the baked goods are delicious, as are the breads. On this trip I had the Mt. Tom Turkey sandwich, added bacon and on a croissant and it was AMAZING. Totally hit the spot. Definitely recommend a stop here! read more

Great Basin Bakery - Sierra mud cookies to take home - Bakeries Near Me - Bishop, California

Food: Had an egg, bacon, ham, cheese croissant which was very tasty and unlike another very popular bakery in Bishop, it was made to order fresh. We also had a snicker doodle muffin which was moist and yummy. Coffee was good. Atmosphere: Smaller no frills bakery which is not a bad thing. They have a few tables for you to enjoy your morning coffee. The service is very good and they make u feel at home. Place gets pretty busy! Final thoughts: Tried this place while staying in Bishop for a few days on vacation. Breakfast croissant, coffee and muffin were yummy for my tummy. Will be going back for another breakfast croissant before we go back home. PS you can add anything to your croissant...avocado, tomatoes...yummy. read more

Great Basin Bakery - Pure honey from local town. - Bakeries Near Me - Bishop, California

Getting sexy for summer is proving to be harder and harder because my sweet tooth has been in overdrive lately. Having a wonderful wonderful other half who likes to feed my addiction is not helping either. Muffin top hates him. Over the weekend, bf brought me some Sierra Mud Cookies from Great Basin Bakery while he was traveling through the area. I'm a dark chocolate-aholic and a soft cookie monster, so these Sierra Mud Cookies could very well be my kryptonite. They are incredibly decadent and delicious and I just had to write a review on these alone! Shout out to the pastry chefs at GBB! First, the name explained....no, the cookies are not made of mud. The appearance of the cookies is reminiscent of the dry mud cracked ground in the deserts of Death Valley. The powdered sugar represents the snow in the Sierras. Pretty cleaver right? Second, it's all about the taste! Chocolate lovers, sweets lovers, cookie lovers, brownie lovers....you will be like me and eat the whole bag like there's no tomorrow. You've been warned. You're welcome. The cookies are soft but have the consistency of a brownie inside - moist, soft, melt in your mouth. All natural, simple ingredients - ground almonds, semi sweet chocolate, butter, eggs sugar. 'Nuff said. read more

My wife and i have been eating at Jack's restaurant in Bishop for years but the last couple times we stopped in the quality has gone down. We needed a new place to eat on our way to Convict lake. We stopped in and glad we did. Spinach and feta croissants are excellent. I also had the egg and cheese croissant. there are so many other good things on the menu. Place is small with limited seating. There is plenty of parking around the corner if the street is full. Prices are reasonable. read more

If you LOVE bread then you MUST stop here. We were driving through on our way home to San Diego when we spied this on Yelp. It's well worth the quick stop. I wish we could have gotten everything and I am definitely kicking myself for not getting the mini cherry pie, but I'm writing this review while consoling myself with a mind blowing almond croissant. It's gigantic!! I would have posted a picture but I'm eating it too fast! The chocolate ganache one was also delicious judging by the speed at which my husband made it disappear. If you do not get a loaf of the French bread (sliced thick), you will be missing out on one of the best things you could ever put in your mouth. It's perfect eaten plain. No butter or jam needed. Try using it for BLTs...glorious! Do yourself a favor and go today - you can order online and the staff are very pleasant!! read more

To travel thru Bishop and not stop here would be terribly unfortunate for you. This little Bakery has nearly everything you need. Bagels, bread, cinnamon rolls, sandwiches, salads, homemade granola, on and on and on. Tidy, organized and quaint, with friendly service, it attracts you like the cool cousin to the other, more robotic large Bakery in town. Open until late afternoon, this is a great place to pick up supplies, whether you live nearby or heading to the hills. The bread is just as good if not better than the other competition in town. For lunch, try a Mt Tom Turkey sandwich on multigrain bread, a Vegan Oat Cookie and an Ice Tea. This is a true small town gem. Very highly recommended. read more

This was a really cute corner bakery in Bishop. I went there for a quick breakfast while traveling back from Mammoth and so glad I did. The bakery had various different sandwiches and pastries. I had the cowgirl cookie, egg cheese and meat bagel sandwich, and a hot tea. The cookie was really delicious and pretty big. They also have gluten free options as well. The egg cheese meat sandwich was also pretty good and pretty filling The service was also pretty good and the food was prepared pretty fast. I would definitely stop by here again if I am in the area read more

I got the hummdinger on a croissant. Delicious! The chocolate chip cookies are also very good.

Man, everything about this place was great. The night before, I did an online order for a bagel with lox/cream cheese for breakfast and a Mt Tom for later in the day while on a backpacking trip. I asked to pick up at 7:30. I showed up at 7:30, gave them my name and they literally were bagging my food at that exact moment. The coffee was excellent. That Mt Tom was amazing after a tough 3 hours of hiking. A great pick me up for the rest of the day hiking until I could set up camp. I will return for sure! read more

Came on a monday around 145pm. Smelled good but the bakery items were almost gone. We were able to get the last two cinnamon buns a huge chocolate drizzle macaroon and very tasty brownie bites. The employee behind the counter was friend. HoweverThe atmosphere felt very locals only but they didn't say no to my money. read more

Great find, just came in for a visit and I'm glad I found this place on yelp! I recommend the raspberry scone, lemon scone and enjoy some packaged cowgirl cookies. The scones are moist (not the kind of scones that suck up all the moisture in your mouth making it hard to eat) and they are not overly sweet either. Have to come back to try other delectable goodies! read more

Great coffees! Awesome breakfast sandwiches ! Perfect bakery (scones, cookies, croissants, bagels and pies) ! A must go to place for the best - even off the beaten path (difficult to find), parking is awful, and lines are long. Try their scones, croissants, apple pies, and cookies - there are sure to delight. You just have to deal with the long line of people in the morning and a lot of items running out early in the day. Yes, even a place that is so difficult to get to is worth it - no wonder the locals have made it a routine at this great establishment.! Must return here each time traveling to/from Mammoth.! read more

Breakfast was good the bagels were good the cookies were good the girls behind the counter were friendly and helpful. What more could you want from a bakery. I'll make it a habit to stop there whenever I'm up that way. read more

For all you carbiphobes out there...treat yo'selves to a cheat day immediately. This bakery is so cute and smells yummy and wow is the food good. Honestly I overdid it with the BEC and could have just done with a bagel and cream cheese but sometimes we have to splurge ya know? Everyone was very nice (except the dude in line behind me desperate for coffee lol but that's mostly understandable) and I really like that they have a bread donation program for locals in need. The coffee is kinda meh ultra strong ultra acidic ultra burned but something about that was ultra satisfying after camping and kicking around the wilderness. Ps yes my breath was crazy-sauce after this breakfast but I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat. read more
