Came here at 10am on a Tuesday looking for a savory crepe or breakfast sandwich and they didn’t have any! Maybe most people come earlier? I settled on an apricot croissant which was delicious! I also picked out four chocolate truffles to take back to my hotel. The perfect late night treat. When I got there, there was no line but when I left, there was a line of maybe ten people. 1 apricot croissant and 4 truffles cost me $24.39 total, which seems kind of wild but everything is pricier in Mammoth.

Gem in Mammoth. Strawberry vanilla cream danish is perfection!! I'm a pastry chef and this dough is very difficult to get right......it was light and airy and fresh without being dried out....PERFECT. The 'Canolli' (with a Dutch twist) was AMAZING.....very crispy exterior w/nuts and filled with a delicious Bavarian cream. It's a must-try. 3rd I highly recommend the raspberry jam filled shortbread!!! Well worth the stop!

We spotted this amazing bakery the other night after dinner, but it was already closed—so we made it a point to come back after our boating trip. So glad we did! This place is a full-scale bakery dream—pastries, artisan breads, cookies, and gorgeous treats beautifully displayed in the windows. I could spend all day just admiring the layout. Best part is they have a deli in the back! We opted to try the fresh sandwich counter tucked around the side. You can watch the staff slicing loaves of fresh bread and carving meats right in front of you. I ordered the roasted turkey on a buttery croissant, and yes—the turkey is carved straight from the bird, right there on the spot! Erik got the roast beef on fresh sourdough, and the bread was phenomenal. Each sandwich comes with a thick slice of dill pickle and a homemade chocolate chip cookie—such a great touch. The only suggestion we’d offer is to maybe improve the ordering process a bit. It was hard for the employees to hear our sandwich preferences with how fast they move. They added mustard to mine before I had the chance to say no, and I had to ask twice to have it sliced—but it still came whole. Both of us left a little frustrated by that part of the experience. That's why the 4 star! That said, the quality of the food and the thoughtful packaging (wrapped neatly on a plate inside a clear plastic bag—perfect for leftovers!) made it a stop we’d absolutely return to. Just maybe with a written order next time!

We decided to have breakfast before we head up to Yosemite. I stopped at this bakery. We have the cheese croissant, which is fantastic, but they had another side that had sandwiches and soups which we did not get to try. The staff was very friendly and very helpful and be aware that there’s some somewhat of a line.

Such a cool bakery/deli. The options are unlimited! With that said, it’s very pricey…beware. We had a ham sandwich that was delicious. The bread is fresh and soft and all toppings/meat were fresh and of good quality. The bakery side had so much to choose from. We tried donuts, bread claws, and apple fritters. There was nothing exceptional about any of them. They were good, but not amazing. For the price, I was hoping for amazing. At any rate, it’s a nice place to check out and grab a bite to eat. Very unique with lots of choices.

We were in Mammoth for five days this time and we were at the bakery shop every single day from the day we found it. can’t believe we’ve never been there before and it’s just amazing! the coffee the tea… I love how they brew the tea specially, a lot of choices to choose from! the croissants are amazing the texture, the flavor and the sausage and eggs they put in between. And also, they have fresh sandwiches in the other side of the hall. We love the roasted turkey which is flavorful. We absolutely love that their desserts there. The cinnamon roll would be my favorite. I guess the service quality really depends on which waiter or waitress… after all we will be back again once we’re back in Mammoth.

Incredible place but it is very busy, for good reason. It’s hard to find a Dutch bakery anymore so I was very excited to find many of my favorites…especially the butter almond cookies. The cream puff is a definite must — actual real filling, not just a bunch of whip cream.
