Erick Schat's Bakkery - Bishop, California

We stopped by Schat’s Bakery on our way home from Mammoth recently, and it was absolutely packed—and for good reason. The selection of food, bread, and bakery items is incredible; if you can’t find what you’re looking for, you’re probably not looking hard enough! We really enjoyed the delicious pastries and croissants, which were top-notch. They also serve a pretty good coffee, and there’s seating out front where you can enjoy the typically nice weather. The prices are reasonable considering the quality and variety on offer. Overall, it’s a fantastically stocked bakery that’s definitely worth a visit.

Truly magical. Smells incredible. Sparks joy. Perfect stop for our road trip 🩷 Then got to come home and continue to enjoy the happiness with our baked goods served with coffee. Lovely!

Atmosphere is magical. Food and service is bad.

We came because of all the good reviews and left extremely disappointed. Everything is very expensive, which would be fine if everything was also very good.

My partner was interested in a honeycomb chocolate, asked if it was real honeycomb in it and the lady said yes. Then he asked how much it was and she said I don't know, no follow up on how to find out. The chocolates were very tasty luckily, but do *not* have honeycomb like he was told.

I had ordered an eclair, which is a favorite pastry of mine, so I was excited they had then because we read this place was so great. I took a bite and was immediately from anticipatory bliss to absolute disgust. It tasted sour, like it had gone bad. I asked my partner to try and he said the same. So I went back in and told them there was something wrong the filling must have gone bad or the pastry is old. She said that's not possible because they were made this morning... I said it is inedible and then said she could get me a new one. I said, if they're all like that then I don't want it and would just like to return it. Can't do that. So I and asked if I could get something else? So after chatting with some people I got a cream filled donut. I got through *more than half* of it before encountering any cream, which was actually a blessing in disguise, because it also had the horrible sour filling in it.

I'm a huge fan of bakeries and make it a point to stop at every one I can. This is by far the worst one and I can only imagine it has the rating it does due to the atmosphere and proximity to tourist attractions. It would never survive on merit alone.

I love this place. I took a detour just so I could pick up some tasty breads and cookies. I also got a turkey pot pie. Every time I come here, it's always so busy. Staff is friendly and helpful.

First time stopping in to this original place! Why I haven't stopped before beats me! We travel to Mammoth for snow boarding and trying all the spots that we have seen in our drive!
This was next on our list. The bread is amazing. It's super soft and fresh. Love the yeast smell of it! Not down, tomato focaccia! It says like a pizza. We warmed up all of our breads in the oven and it really brings the bread back to life. We are even freezing it since we bought 80 dollars worth of bread!!!
I'm looking forward to a delicious grilled cheese or a sandwich with that sour bread loaf.

Huge selection of breads and baked goods. Everything is fantastic. Strawberry Shortbread cookues literally melt in your mouth! One of our must-stops when passing thru Bishop. Friends beg us to bring bread home to them. Never tried their sandwiches, but have heard they are very good. Highly recommend stopping!

What an interesting and wonderful little gem in the mountains. Erick Schat’s Bakery makes just about every single kind of bread and pastries known to mankind, and has organized them neatly on shelves for you to peruse, with plentiful samples scattered about. I bought some cookies and wish I’d bought more.

Delicious pastries and sandwiches. They have an assortment of other baked goods too. From cakes to donuts and whatever you might fancy.

They make your sandwiches fresh for you. Or, if you're in a hurry, they have to go boxes of sandwiches near the front entrance. I highly recommend the tuna salad sandwich. It was heavenly!

There's plenty of parking on both sides of the building and back.

It's definitely worth a visit for breakfast or lunch when you're in Bishop.
