On a wonderful trip to New Bern the most disappointing thing was Sunday breakfast at Baker's Kitchen. My wife and I waited 35 minutes to be seated at a small bright table. Very clean. Our server came over quickly and brought us coffee which was good. Downhill from here. Our breakfast was delivered cold, both orders! I hate cold food. 2nd time up it was much warmer but not hot. OK we ate. The food was bland. The Dutch Potatoes were nothing more than cheesy hash browns, the butter syrup is butter with sugar. Too sweet. The sausage patties made me quite sick having to make it back to our air b&b double time. I'm so sorry we ever ate there and will never, ever do so again. read more

Overall, the food is really good, services pretty good and the online reservation is really helpful when it's busy. I think their home fries are the best. It is always busy and apparently their baked goods are fantastic but I have not had them. read more

Very attentive service. Food is delicious!! I had the waffle with chicken sausage. My friend had eggs with a biscuit.

Baker's kitchen is a great place for breakfast. They have the best French toast with buttery syrup around the area. I bring friends and family there often and have never had a bad meal service is always great and will always go back for their famous French toast. read more

This is the absolute perfect place to dine for breakfast, brunch, lunch or a way early dinner! The staff is awesome & the food is fantastic! The atmosphere is definitely cozy & family friendly! The wait can sometimes be a bit, but it is so worth it! read more

The cinnamon rolls and fried chicken (from the chicken and waffles) were very good! We also enjoyed the french toast.

We haven't ate here since last year.. the food serving size is a lot smaller. Wasn't told about the egg surcharge, I had asked could I substitute for grits, nope.. I got the Farmers wife and had a $2.00 egg surcharge, limp once slice of bacon, the two eggs actually were the size of one, my husband was disappointed with his grits.. server was excellent, but I won't be going back read more

We tried Baker's Kitchen on a Friday morning in October. My meal was a resounding..."OK" at best. I tried the biscuits and gravy and was rewarded with 2 biscuits that were dry, tough, and chewy; it would not be surprisingly to learn they were the previous day's leftovers. The gravy was just OK too and really lacked much flavor. I've had better versions of this dish at Bojangles. I ordered a side of the dutch potatoes and found them fantastic. They were the highlight of my meal. Service was friendly and efficient. Our server seemed to handle the entire second floor of the restaurant by herself. That was impressive. Speaking of the second floor, it was so cold it was difficult to concentrate on anything else. I'm not sure if the air conditioner was turned down too low or it was very cold from the age of the structure. read more

Good food and great service. I had taken a client there who was new to Bakers and he enjoyed himself as well.

Service is friendly. Food is homey and delicious and came out faster than I could imagine. Wait is worth it

Best home cooked meals. The breakfast menu is famous. Very reasonable pricing. Good place to take a large family. read more

Food was good. Our server Dominic was awesome. Had him a couple times now and he seems like a great guy who loves his family. Always very friendly. I had the bakers sandwich with a croissant and it is 5 stars for the price especially. Don't expect to just walk in on a Saturday morning, this place is popular. read more

Words can't explain how good the food is here. Everything was cooked well and you definitely get your moneys worth. The hot chocolate was also very good. The only complaint from my group was the sweet tea was a little to sweet for there liking, other then that 10/10 will be going back. read more

Service and staff was super friendly but the food was just average. We ordered the chicken fried steak and the baked chicken dish with fried okra(hard to mess those up) and squash casserole. Didn't give much gravy with the CFS so we asked for more. Got charged $3. That's fine for extra, but there was almost none on the steak. read more

We finally decided to have brunch at this highly esteemed place and it did NOT disappoint. My husband had The Hungry Farmers breakfast. Which was absolutely delicious. Portions were generous and everything was incredibly fresh. The sausage was NOT greasy and neither was the Country Fried Steak. Which is remarkable. I had the chicken fried steak with gravy and Dutch potatoes.. The service was excellent ( Amy was our server) as she checked on us frquently. If you are looking for. Highly satisfying breakfast experience, we recommend The Baker's Kitchen. read more

Brunch date wait list time made worthwhile by exceptional meal with accommodating customer service. No pics of food but our cinnamon rolls to go were delish once we got home. Upstairs has the best vibe and that day the best waitress Amy. We'll be back. read more

Beautiful inside and out such a cool building. The food is fabulous and the service was great!!

Love this southern style breakfast/lunch place. I've been here a few times now, this being first post Covid, they have changed up things inside seating wise and their front area seems like a whole lot of wasted space but there's probably a reason for that! Front area meaning, hostess area, and baked goods to go. We got seated straight away , I was amazed how busy this place was on a Tuesday morning. Didn't take me long to realize why! They have a great menu, all your basic breakfast items, and some lunch mainstays . They are open from 7am to 2pm everyday, with breakfast being their thing so served all day. Great service , friendly, always checking in on us. They really do have a great menu, the three of us all got some for, of what we like for breakfast, I got egg whites, wheat toast and home fries, I would have loved to just add a cinnamon roll as theirs look to die for with their signature butter sauce glaze. The size of them would blow your mind. Maybe next time, when my other two friends are not on weight watchers! My food was great, just what I needed carby and the eggs were perfectly dry like I asked. I love their bread, which they bake in house, and you can buy a loaf to go. The home fries were seasoned and crunchy and not oily like some I've eaten. One of my friends got the veggie omelette with wheat toast, she said Omelette was good wih just enough cheese and veggies, she loved the toast too. Also on the table the turkey sausage was a hit, and the grits, not my thing but she loved them. Great coffee here too with their lovely red mugs which I also want but do I really need another mug! I got a lemon bar to go from their baked goods section, big slab of goodness. Nice light base and sweet tart filling. Delicious. Definitely must get item. I see why it's always busy here, all the plates of food I saw looked amazing, chicken and waffles looked just ridiculously like a huge plate umm yes I want that! Will be back here for sure when I'm in town. Love the local feel here and great people watching! Very clean and also on a side note, the bathrooms have a no touch flush! Why do all places not have this feature!! Genius. I'm easily impressed! read more

Amazing food and lots of options!!! The service was super friendly and was super fast. The Ambiance is adorable!

We put our name on the waitlist while getting our nails done for a wedding we had later that day. Once we got there we waited for maybe two minutes and then they sat us. Our waitress was so sweet! Get the mixed cran orange mimosa. So good. And don't skip the cheddar biscuit! There's cheddar on top and inside. Also, the locals swear by the Dutch potatoes. Basically cheesy potato casserole. Definitely stop by here if you are in New Bern! read more

Solid breakfast! We both ordered the ultimate biscuits and gravy. Includes two eggs and choice of meat. Excellent service!!

Food was amazing, service was great! Perfect place for breakfast! I Recommend the Cinnamon roll read more

Great food, friendly service, and butter syrup! That's what this place serves up! Go here even if you have to wait it was worth it to us. You had me at butter syrup. I have never had it before today, but I'll be going back for more! We were lucky enough to sit on the second floor, and we do admire old buildings. Well, this one did not disappoint. The roof and the flooring with the exposed walls are very, very nice! read more

What a fantastic place! What made it more do for me was that my son (USMC) took me out for Mother's Day! But really... I loved the great food and friendly staff--and the place was hoppin! A place for military moms and our brave and wonderful service men and women...and all folks who enjoy a good place with great food. read more

Our large family stopped in on a recent Saturday morning to this well-known breakfast\lunch place in historic New Bern. Atmosphere is quaint with street level and upstairs dining. Upstairs you can really see the exposed brick and historic architecture. Staff is very friendly and attentive, even when crowded. They sell pastries and cookies to go with plenty of other trademarked products from coffee mugs to their famous bottled butter syrup. The menu has all the usual breakfast items you'd find in the South. Besides the pancakes, eggs, and french toast, there are grits, home made biscuits, sausage gravy, and chicken & waffles. One item you must try is their special Baker's Dutch potatoes which is has potatoes, onions, and a creamy cheese sauce like you would find on Mac & Cheese. It was so good. Prices are fair too! I gave it 3 Stars because other than the Dutch potatoes and the home made biscuits, everything was just common, plain breakfast food. I've seen a lot more choices and creativity in any NJ diner I've been to. With this great location, what with the year round tourists, I think they should add a few more creative items to the menu. Shake it up a bit. I mean great staff, great place, BUT it ALWAYS depends on the food that puts you on the map. I think the owners may just be complacent on the fact that there really is nowhere else to go in the area for a decent breakfast with a nice atmosphere. Regardless, I highly recommend the place. read more

Oh my goodness, Baker's Kitchen is not a fancy restaurant by any means, but they are absolute perfection at what they do - breakfast food and pastries! Plus, the staff is amazingly friendly and helpful, and they make every patron feel like a regular! When we came in for breakfast today, we were wowed by the quality of the food (I had a basic breakfast plate with eggs and bacon, and my husband had a meat omelette), but were really blown away by the pastries! The blueberry muffin was served warm, and was packed with flavor! I had a sweet potato biscuit at the suggestion of our server, and paired with the apple butter, it was like a sweet potato cinnamon roll! Oh my! We lived the restaurant so much that we ordered a bunch of pastries to go. Can't wait to return! read more

Definitely a good place to head for breakfast or brunch. Not the best breakfast, seems sort of average, but it's still very good and I like the atmosphere. Hung around for a bit after finishing our food and the waitress seemed to be a little annoyed (understandable but yet again not). It's a solid 7.8/10 and I would recommend the chicken and waffles. Their butter-syrup-sauce is addictive. read more

Baker's Kitchen is very overrated in my opinion. This is the normal bacon and eggs diner, no longer the earlier Baker's that was owned by Minnonites, featuring wonderful homemade breads and pastries. read more

Fantastic food & customer service. Clean and visually appealing restaurant. If you're visiting New Bern, you've got to have breakfast here.

What a lovely breakfast. Atmosphere so friendly , good coffee , great service and the food delish. I'm going back

If you love fried food, then this is your place. The food is decent, but most of it does come out of a fryer. Next time, I'll wait until 11:00am when there's more restaurants open. read more

Excellent service; excellent food! Our go to breakfast location! You will not be disappointed

Baker's is THE breakfast spot in New Bern. Wonderful and friendly wait staff and a homey and comforting atmosphere and of course, delicious food! For breakfast, I recommend "the suburban" (eggs, sausage links, and home fries), a breakfast sandwich on a croissant, or one of their huge cinnamon buns. For lunch, or brunch, I most definitely recommend the chicken n waffles with their famous butter syrup. Bring your appetite! I also recommend dressing in layers as Baker's is ALWAYS hot and a little stuffy but still one of my all time favorite breakfast spots. read more

food is amazing, service is excellent. although your wait time is usually about 30 minutes (on the weekends) it's well worth it! the waffles are light, fluffy and delicious with their homemade maple butter! would recommend and have taken our grandkids there, they loved it! read more

Alway one of our favorite breakfast eateries in New Been. Love the fact that you can join the waitlist online because they are always busy, especially on the weekends. Food is incredible. Sweet potato biscuits are phenomenal and baby approved. We love the hungry farmer - the French toast is unbelievable and the syrup is like no other. The Dutch potatoes are worth the trip to Bakers alone. All of the omelettes are great too! Although they are busy, the turnover is quick, the restaurant is clean and the staff and service is always impeccable! Don't miss grabbing a one-of-a-kind cinnamon roll on the way out! read more
