After two trips to this bakery, I think it's time to write a review. It's tucked away in the basement of the Olympic House at Palisades Ski Resort, but worth searching for. It's a great affordable stop for breakfast or lunch. The bakery offers a variety of baked goods (pictures below), sandwiches, soup, and chili at prices that are very reasonable for a ski resort. Unfotunately, I haven't tried everything on the menu because I keep going back for their chili. The chili is hearty, has plenty of meat, and come with a breadstick on the side. It's $10.00 for a 12oz serving which is enough to keep me going for an afternoon of skiing. It's got a nice kick to it, but isn't overly spicy. It's a popular spot for lunch, so the seats fill up, and the lines get longer. The staff is efficient, so you usually don't have to wait very long. Enjoy! read more

Wildflour Baking Company - Delicious pastries. - Bakeries Near Me - Olympic Valley, California

They don't have a big selection. I had to wait 15 minutes for 2 cookies. They don't have enough of supply. If this place is as popular as it's known to be, they should make a lot to stay busy during business hours. The cookies that I was able to try were good. My favorite is the chocolate chip. Like grandma's fresh out the oven cookies. read more

Always a go to stop for us for immediate consumption and for a grab and go for later!

Finallyyyy I found you! I have been on the hunt for WildFlour Baking Company because of the positive reviews I have heard from many guests around Squaw Valley. The hype is real. The cookies? Delicious. The EM Taco flavor?!? Amazing! It's an english muffin stuffed with tasty ground beef, taco flavor of course! WildFlour is a delicious bakery that also offers breakfast items and lunch sandwiches. If you are in the area, make it a point to come visit and try everything you can! read more

My friend got me the toffee nut cookie. It was tiny and misshapen but dense. The toffee inside was literally rock hard and did not go well with the rest of the cookie. I hope it was a one off mistake but it was a disappointing first experience. Wait time was also incredibly long. read more

A squaw valley(palisades) treasure- great baked items good coffee seasonal in the Olympic building downstairs - opens at 7- good bagels and other scrumptious treats- hot coffee too. Does not accept cash though- inconvenient for us that just don't do plastic . read more

Best chocolate chip cookies anywhere! Each about 2", thick like 1", loaded with chocolate, fresh!! Had gluten free version but haven't tried it. Mochas are good, but bit too sweet but still had a few during visit. Service was friendly and on top of it. read more

An objectively terrible experience from all points! I ordered a breakfast bagel - it took 25 minutes to be ready! A bit of an atrocious wait. It seemed very poorly organized as there was a huge crowd waiting for their food - and the registers were fully staffed up - not taking orders ... just chilling while people are waiting an obnoxiously long time for their food. In addition to that - their breakfast bagel caused me to be seriously sick in the stomach for days. So come here if you would like to feel I'll for the rest of your trip. Or be intelligent and avoid this place altogether- the hype is not worth the stomach pains and atrocious wait times read more

Wildflour Baking Company - a line of people waiting in line - Bakeries Near Me - Olympic Valley, California

Dough not skip this spot - an Olympic valley staple in the heart of Palisades village. The lines will be long but they are worth it. Come early and stock up on delicious breakfast items, baked goods, and most importantly the cookies. Hot and fresh chocolate chip cookies are an 11/10. You can bring them on the mountain with you for a midday treat. I repeat, dough not skip on Wildflour. There's a limited menu window outside which served everything we needed. Can't wait to come back and eat plenty more cookies plus check out their full menu for lunch options. read more

Really bad service! Food might be okay though. Spent 20 mins in line to buy a cookie pass only to be redirected to another line since only one cashier can process a cookie pass. I waited another 20 mins for that line and wasn't allowed to order food and add that order to the cookie pass. In other words save time placing the order with a cashier while waiting to give them $100-300 dollars for a cookie pass. I asked for a manager and she said offered to help but after standing around for 40+ mins I didn't feel like giving them hundreds of dollars. read more

Great find in the Olympic Village. My wife really liked the pizza bagel. The cookies were awesome! They must keep it warm because the chocolate was gooey and melted when I bit into it. The chocolate chip was my favorite but others in the family liked the toffee nut, peanut butter and chocolate, and the gingerbread. They also have a lot of other food options we never got to try because we didn't discover it until late in our trip. read more

This place is $$$. $15 for a bagel sandwich and worth every penny (especially slopeside). Chocolate chip cookies are unbeatable!

We waited too long and there were plenty of workers at this time and very few customers. I wanted to pay cash and was told they discourage cash because of a national change shortage. I did notice a tip jar in front of register with cash in it. The whole not accept cash excuse means they don't trust their employees. read more

Probably my favorite find in Squaw. My friend is a Tahoe local and 100% hyped up these cookies. I was pretty doubtful at first, and ordered 3 cookies to be safe. Meanwhile, my friend orders 10 without hesitation. The cookies were the perfect gooey and the perfect crisp outside layer. I tried to order a toffee nut cookie, however, they were out, and ended up getting 3 chocolate chip cookies. 3 was not enough, I wish I ordered 10 to bring some back home. Pro Tip: Go early so you can pick from a full selection of cookies. They were open 12-5, and we got there around 3 and they were sold out of a lot of their cookies already. read more

The food is amazing! Especially the chocolate chip cookies. I recommend going after skiing or snowboarding at Palisades Tahoe.

Wow, what a lucky find today. My friend and I split a bagel sandwich and got two cookies to go when at palisades today. Great food, nice staff and very reasonable prices, especially for where they are located. Thank you - we will be back! read more

Fresh baked items and Peet's Coffee plus a great spot to sit before heading out to ski. Wildflour serves up fresh bagels and rolls and all kinds of things to fill your belly for a day on the mtn. It's located on the ground floor, under the O Bar and back behind the Chamois. There's more seats by uostairs if the comfy chairs and tables are full. The cookies are always great, gooey yumminess. The tortilla phat is a high power brkfst with eggs. The tomato soup is tasty when your toes are cold. The line can look long, but if you move to the customers' left there are usually much shorter lines on that end. read more

Hidden behind the demo center. Not visible from the normal walkway. Always bench seating here and the breakfast and lunch choices are very reasonable. All less than $10. Fresh bakery/sandwich/soup items and large portions. Their soups are all good. Limited selections but they have tasty vegetarian options which aren't overly salty. Breakfast platter eggs potatoes toast or bagel and bakery goods. Fresh baked Cookies: Chocolate Chip melts in mouth. Lots of calories. Gingerbread man was crunchy, dry and had ginger/molasses flavor. Cinammon roll has option to leave off sugar topping. Very fresh. Large. Couldn't finish it. Lunch: Vegetarian tamales/Vegetarian chili. Delicious. Chili has contrasting texture between the hard corn and soft beans. Very filling. Good place to meet for lunch break as the ARC restaurant up the hill is inedible/expensive. Ski the mountain run down and practice turns before it gets too crowded. Kids behind counter all good. Can get disorganized. They lost my chili order. Get a receipt. Good kids behind the counter. They are inexperienced so.. have to have some patience with them. read more

I was walking around one morning and the smell of bacon led me to the door of this bakery. It was early and I was by myself so I had time to decide on what I was going to get. Day 1: breakfast bagel with avocado, breakfast bagel with bacon, eggstreme bowl. The coffee is Peets and I really like their coffee so it was good for me. The food was great. My wife is picky but loved the eggstreme bowl very much. Day 2: eggstreme bowl (LOL) and two items that I can't remember the name of. It was a pastry item, one had roasted pork the other eggs and something else. Sorry I can't be more helpful on it. The pastry with the roasted pork was fantastic. I could've eaten 3 easily, but probably not much else the rest of the day. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Absolutely wonderful little place and I highly recommend it. You won't regret it. read more

This is a great place to grab lunch and/or a fresh cookie. They have fantastic food combined with friendly and efficient counter staff. The place can be a little tricky to find if you haven't been there before. It's tucked inside Olympic House, just past the ski and snowboard school office, but it's worth finding because you'll probably spend less and get a better meal than if you head into one of the sit-down restaurants in the Village. read more

Their breakfast bagel sandwiches are so good! The bagels are the best I've ever had. They're really light but still chewy. I get the everything that is loaded up with garlic that sticks with ya all day. Perfect meal to kick off a day on the hill. read more

You have to get a cookie. And Pizza bagels. Potato gratin is a good lunch choice (add Tabasco!) and their sandwiches are good if you like thick homemade bread and not so great you are a wonder bread kid. Most of the time this place hums along but when they get slammed it can bog down. read more

It just wouldn't be a day at Squaw without a trip (or 3) to Wildflower. The chocolate chip cookies are something special and a perfect afternoon snack or post ski treat. The bagels are also great, treat yourself for a pizza bagel. We usually lunch here and get the avocado carrot sandwich. Great hang out area for kids (or getting some work done). It's better priced than any of the lunches on the mountains. Do yourself a favor and don't miss this gem. read more

Just dreamy! These cookies are defiantly made with love. They are thick but soft and chewy like a biscuit. Forget the donuts, these are everyone's absolute favorite at our office. Our staples are the chocolate chip warmed up with some milk and the oatmeal cranberry for breakfast, or any time of day for that matter. ;) They freeze really well too so you can buy your favorites in bulk. In love with this small business and can't wait to try more flavors and other goodies on the menu. read more

No employee discount :/ would be cool to show some appreciation for the people who make it possible for them to even do business

Great place for coffee and food. They really help to get your day on the slopes started off right. And they're the only ones open on a weekday during the omnicron pandemic for breakfast in the Olympic House. read more

They have the best chocolate chip cookies ever! It's all gooey and warm... crispy at the edges and chewy in the middle. They also have a vegan peanut butter choc chip! awesome! mmmmm...... =D Get a dozen, save 50 cents a cookie. It's totally worth it!! read more

A lot of hype for this place. Personally I didn't love the cookies since they were thick but my friends did. Also, the milk will cost almost as much as the cookie. read more

Scharffenberger Hot Chocolate and chewy chocolate chip cookies. What more do you need?? They'll warm it up for you too if you ask so the inside is extra gooey and the edges still crusty. If I could afford ski resort prices I probably would've eaten (at least) one of each item. Plus, you won't wanna miss out on the hot European girls waiting to take your order. Is it bad that I want to go back to Squaw for cookies? Make sure you check it out before you head up on the gondola because it's at the bottom of the mountain! read more

Here's the bottom line PROS * Opens at 7am * Fresh baked bagels * Chocolate chip cookies are good * Peet's Coffee available here * Great wooden community tables CONS * Staff is friendly, but clueless * Very limited breakfast menu items * Egg & toast breakfast is ridiculously overpriced * Between 7-8am very little baked goods available. * Cleaning crew vacuums between 7-8am ( very annoying! ) read more

This place is a famous staple in the valley. We used to have the cookie pass :) it's warm delicious cookies are just what you want after hours on the mountain read more

Yelped a lunch spot after a long day on the slopes and came across Wildflour Baking Company. We came here to try out their famous pizza bagels only to find out they ran out when we came at 3pm!! We were really bummed!!! Instead, we ordered the curry sandwich and chocolate chip cookies. The sandwiches come in 1/2 and whole order sandwiches, which are great if you aren't too hungry. Onto the cookies, oh my goodness, they are best chocolate chip cookies!! Yes, it's a bit pricey priced at $2.25 each, but well worth it!! Wildflour's chocolate chip cookies are a great way to end your day! Next time, we are going to make sure to come earlier to try out their pizza bagels!! read more

The best after ski cookie ever. We've been cunning here for 20 years. Consistently fantastic.

Would love to come back, but it's a disposable plastic wasteland. They need to take some lessons from nearby mountains. My kid liked the pizza bagel. Tamales so so. read more

Fantastic place. Susan the owner rocks. Highly recommended. We've been going there for years. Great for kids to especially with the cookie pass. Keep up the good work. read more

This review warrants a 5 star rating based on the chocolate chip cookies alone! Wildflour Baking is a hidden treasure in the Squaw Valley Village. It is the best spot to warm up and have a quick lunch midway through your day of skiing. There is plenty of comfortable seating and fireplaces to enjoy your break. Even a small arcade area for the kids. I really wanted to write this review to share the wonder that is their chocolate chip cookies. They are the real MVP of Wildflour. Perfectly baked to leave your mouth watering for more. The cookies have found the sweet balance of crispy, warm, gooey, and soft. I bet you are wondering how a cookie could be both crispy and soft, well let me tell you. They are crispy on the outside, warm and gooey on the inside, and all around magical. The cookies are $2 each or you can get a bakers dozen for $25. In my opinion its money well spent. If these cookies seem a little too expensive for you, fear not, there is another way to get them for free!!!!! All you have to do is win an Olympic gold medal in one of the winter events and you will be gifted cookies for life, easy enough right? read more

Excellent service, fair prices for a resort restaurant and good sized portions. And yes, the chocolate chip cookies are as good as everyone says they are. read more

The cookies are outstanding and the pizza bagels are probably the best lunch deal on the mountain. I'm not sure how they manage to make the pizza bagels soft as airy clouds, yet filling as...more hearty clouds. Anyway they're mad good and at ~$4, they're also wicked cheap. I spend a lot of time on the chairlift fantasizing about them. Sandwiches here are good, but not exceptional. They're "ski-resort" expensive so I don't get them as often as my beloved pizza bagels. The cookies are awesome (also a little pricey). Don't over-think this, just get one. Pro tip: the half-baked cookie pass gets you ~20% off here. There's no additional discount for the fully-baked version. read more

Meeee want coooookie. I even liked the gluten-free ones. I never thought I'd say that. All of their cookies are delicious. Btw - if you win a gold medal (in the Olympics), you can have free cookies here for life. read more

Wildflour is the place to get your lunch or snacks as Squaw Valley. No day is complete without swinging in for a cookie break! Everything from the cookies, and baked goods all the way to Susan's awesome chili or mac and cheese is a winner. They also are doing slow drip coffee! My personal favorite is a chocolate chip read more
