    High Sierra Bakery is a fan favorite in this Eastern Sierra big "small town." We have been enjoying the donuts, cookies, breads, pastries and cakes since 1995. While ownership has changed at one point, the bakery has stayed in the family. Locals absolutely depend on this jewel. High Sierra bakery is more than just a shop, but a place where neighbors meet, chat, and feel at home, fostering a sense of connection. Locals also order donuts for their different clubs, acitivities and gatherings. Tourism is also a big part of the bakery clientelle. The bakery has extended hours during peak summer time. It's essential to get to the bakery early during these times to be able to have many variety choices. While the bakery must close for the winter, you can depend on them usually beginning in April into October. It has been a long time, but we have ordered birthday cakes in the past. Everything here is consistent. The apple fritters are a big hit, and I say big hit because they are HUGE. The bakery also has sandwiches on the menu, but I think they are usually not available until after 11. There is plenty of seating inside and a couple of tables outside. Parking is available on the street and it is within walking distance from all local motels.

    Sierra Haystack

    Stopped here on the way home from Mammoth to have an early dinner. We had originally decided on the Deli but even though Yelp said they were open, they weren't. So their loss was our gain because I really enjoyed the High Sierra Bakery. I ordered up a delicious Sierra Haystack, A MUST DO when you go here. The bag was tempting, but they also have single haystacks for sale. My wife ordered up the Hulk and shared a bite of her sandwich with me. Perfectly made, in my opinion. Nice flavors and not too much of anything. They did have to sub pepperoni for salami but that didn't make much of a difference. For my sandwich I decided on a simple PBj because I wasn't super hungry. It was a good choice. Great bread and simple ingredients. The space is big enough for most groups that are coming through town and it really did feel very small town vibe. The service was good too! So many times I hesitate to get anything really unique in small towns because they just don't have the turnover, but High Sierra was pleasant surprise when it came to the quality of everything we had. I will definitely head there next time I am driving through from Reno.

    The blueberry coffee cake was terrific, but buying a loaf of cinnamon bread to make French toast with was the big winner. Totally recommend

    What a nice bakery. We enjoyed a nice sandwich here and enjoyed a fritter, danish and donut. The fritter was our favorite.

    Cinnamon rolls and cold brew

    Delicious cinnamon rolls and cold brew. Will definitely come back, and not only because they're the only place open early. Friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

    If nothing else, they're patriotic.

    October, 2024. Everything was great in this Bakery except my Cinnamon roll. By great I mean ambiance and friendly people. The roll itself was dry as can be. Maybe it was a bad batch, but for five bucks I would have expected more. No prices posted. My guess it's that way so it won't scare people away. I tell you what, if their coffee doesn't give you a jolt, their prices surely will. But, after all it's California. The night before, at another establishment, I paid $24 for a hamburger and a beer. When I paid for that I laid down two twenties and the server asked me if I wanted change! I sure do want change. It's time for a change. Quick Tip: The Cinnamon roll is labeled as such. But what the little sign doesn't say is that the roll you just bit into has raisins in it. I prefer it that way, but someone who doesn't is sure going to get a surprise.

Service was friendly and the food was excellent. The Reuben is a thick hot pastrami on grilled Jewish rye with Swiss, sauerkraut, and Thousand Island. The Tahoe Blue is a hot albacore tuna melt on grilled sourdough with cheddar. Both came with a side as advertised, salad on my plate and fries on my wife's with Ranch dressing to dip the fries in.

The one real drawback is the building. The bakery and restaurant share a door with C.O.D. Casino next door. When that door opens, cigarette smoke comes into the dining and bakery area. The restroom is also on the casino side. That does not change the quality of the sandwiches or pastry, but it is noticeable and it is worth knowing before you sit down, especially if you are sensitive to smoke or bringing food out for a trip. Note: they do have outdoor seating. We love having this place close to home and will use it again for lunch and bakery takeout for sure! Four stars because the food and service earned five and the smoke and restroom setup cost one.

We always go to Schat in Carson, so when we were in Minden, its branch was our first choice for late lunch. We got what's available without the need for them to prepare, since they are closing.
