    Avocado toast
    Rebecca M.

    I decided to return to Baker's Kitchen and must say this was a better experience. Baker's Kitchen is located inside a building built in 1911. Like a lot of older buildings, it was abandoned and then renovated for what you see today. They kept the 14-foot ceilings and left the brickwork exposed. My waitress this time was more experienced, so things went smoother. I decided to skip anything that would have the butter syrup and went with the avocado toast. I would have liked sourdough bread instead of wheat, but that wasn't an option, and it wasn't really toasted either. But the avocado was a good amount and tasty. I also had scrambled eggs and breakfast potatoes. They put the eggs on the toast, though, instead of on the side. This seems to be the popular place in town for breakfast.

    I can't say enough good things about this restaurant! When we told the server that we were from out of town and asked what butter syrup was, she brought us some samples and suggested we put it in our coffee. Delicious! We enjoyed our waffles and French toast with fresh fruit. The server also brought over a complimentary cinnamon roll in a bag to take home. Such a nice gesture! The restaurant is nice, much larger on the inside than it would appear from the outside. What a New Bern gem!

    I love coffee in a real mug

    From the hot coffee to the butter syrup, we thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast here. I had the Farmers Wife, which was great. My hubby had the chicken fried chicken. Our server highly recommended the chicken fried chicken and it was amazing. Amazing. Highly recommended!

    New Berns staple as far as breakfast goes. This place has served breakfast to everyone in the craven county. I love their new avocado toast. My go to is also the roll to remember. The staff has seen my son grow up he is 9 now and they have not changed. It's super family friendly place and you'll always run into someone you know.

    I have been wanting to try this place for years but my work schedule made it difficult. Finally my opportunity arrived and Bakers Kitchen quickly became a top contender in breakfast joints for me. The biscuits are the best I've ever had and the butter syrup can go on anything and make it delicious The staff was friendly and attentive; positively professional. The charming wood furnishings tie the whole vibe together. This place is great!

One half feels historic and the other half feels modern with the artwork, mirrors, and finishes. The lighting is dim but you can still read the menu. It wasn't busy while I was there but quiet enough I couldn't hear other conversations. Initially the host wanted to seat me at the bar but when I declined, gave me a seat near the open kitchen. My waitress was friendly and helped me select the strawberry blonde to go with the strawberry salad. This was smaller than expected and just one or two strawberries. There was a little too much dressing for my taste as I forgot to order it on the side. I did like how the flavors came together. I also had the chocolate torte which was rich and decadent. I left here a little squeamish from what I witnessed. After all, I was seated at a booth table with a full view of the open kitchen. I noticed the food runner repeatedly touching his nose then the plates of food. I watched him reset a table and was touching the silverware by the tines, the part that goes in your mouth, rather than the handles. I'm not sure if the hands had been washed when he added by hand garnish to my dessert. I immediately removed the garnish but should have returned the dish to get it remade. Also, a table of six was seated then left a few minutes later and the glasses and silverware were not replaced while I was there, leaving me to assume they were not replaced for the next guests. I also noticed the restaurant had many cameras, so these hygiene lapses were likely recorded. For an upscale spot, these hygiene issues were disappointing. I truly enjoyed the flavors and the atmosphere, and I would be happy to return in the future if I could be confident that basic hygiene and service protocols were being strictly followed. I'd particularly love to come back and try the strawberry cake next time.

The staff that we had encounters with were friendly and stayed busy. The atmosphere is comfortable and home feeling. My wife that had the pork enjoyed the plate. Said it was fresh and hot. I had the shrimp plate with fries, Mac, and hush puppies. The shrimp seemed as if it is definitely frozen for a bit but still tasted ok and was breaded decent. The fries were fries you'd get at a store. The Mac and hush puppies were hot and fresh. I gave four stars because their salt and pepper shakers got some humidity and didn't work. This was throughout the restaurant. An employee was helpful and gave us one that worked some. The floor also appeared to be a bit slippery and sticky and I would guess it's whatever they use to clean with. In the end of it all, I'll be back to get more.
