The Hashbrown casserole, which has a different name on the menu, is what dreams are made of. So good!

Always a great experience with friendly staff and excellent food. One of favorite places for breakfast in New Bern!

This is the best spot in downtown New bern, NC for breakfast and really great lunch. There is always a short wait but we'll worth it.

We love this place! It is especially our favorite place to go for brunch! They have the most amazing cinnamon muffins! The wait staff is always a pleasure and the food is always delicious! The only problem is they are so booked, and if you don't get there early sometimes it can be a long wait. But it is no wonder that this place is so sought after read more

Walking past the kitchen window at the end of my visit to this New Bern stalwart, I heard a commotion. Apparently two young male employees had decided that their bickering was more important than their employer's reputation. "Do your own sh*t!" one of them yelled, and stormed past me. It was a discordant note in a visit that was otherwise filled with friendly service and comforting food. About the food: the flavors are big (SALT! BUTTER! SWEET!) but that's rarely a bad thing (and its what you came for anyway, right?) And despite a full house (the whole town seems to meet here for weekend brunch) our meals came quickly. The best thing I ate was a ginger molasses cookie my wife bought on the way out--it melted in my mouth so effortlessly I almost forgot the kitchen window tiff. read more

Food and service are great atmosphere is awesome. Food is the best I have had in nc since I moved here. The chicken and waffles and that homemade syrup is the best. and the hungry farmer is awesome read more

Delicious breakfast choices including great coffee. Their baked goods section are a wonderful place to stop on your way out or even if passing by while exploring the town. The service is always first class from the time you walk in to the time you check out. I would say bring a sweater as it's usually chilly in the restaurant. I would also love to have access to the seating upstairs. read more

Phenomenal food and staff. When we first moved here we found this gem. It's so good it became a tradition to come on Sundays for the past 2 years. If you haven't tried it; you definitely should! Breakfast is great and the lunch is even better! You really can't go wrong. read more

New Bern's food scene has changed over the years..but their comfort food..stays the same. This place downtown is a favorite hang out for the local popo..so..it must be good..and it is... read more

Cinnamon rolls are a must try. Super friendly staff and atmosphere. We came for breakfast and took some bakery items to go for a snack later. So great! read more

Great breakfast, decent wait time confirms good food. Cinnamon Buns are awesome, will definitely fill you up!

10/10 ! would definitely return. food was great and the service was great, definitely plan on calling ahead or getting in line before you're ready to go read more

What a nice experience! I really appreciated the mobile sign up for the waitlist that enabled us to be seated almost immediately upon arrival (as estimated online)! I thoroughly enjoyed the chicken fried steak (perhaps the best I've had)! I also had the pleasure of trying the chicken and waffles and found them to be amazing too! Loved the butter syrup that complimented both the chicken and waffles sooo well! The ambiance was great and allowed us to enjoy our meal and company. The service was really good too! Check this place out and you will be delighted! It's also close enough to the Riverwalk/Union Point Park that you can enjoy a beautiful walk after your meal. It made for a memorable day! read more

I tried this place for lunch previously and didn't much care for it but figured they're really more of a breakfast place so I thought I'd give them another shot. I won't be giving them a third. I ordered the sausage/biscuits with the Suburban (two eggs, sausage links, and Baker's Durch potatoes) with coffee and milk. My order took quite a while to come and then it was cold - probably my biggest restaurant pet peave of all. While I waited, I saw they had wifi so I asked for the password. They said they don't gove that out. They should probably stop broadcasting the ssid name if that's the case. The waiter kept saying he'd bring more coffee but he never did. The biscuits and gravy were inedible. WAAY too much salt and didn't have much other flavor. The sausage wasn't very good and the potato/cheese dutch thing wasn't very good either. Also, I had to remind the waiter that I had ordered milk, but I didn't see him until I was halfway done with my meal. I did like the toast, so there's that. read more

Amazing. The syrup is to die for. My husband had the chicken and waffles, very delicious and I had the farmers wife. They give you the right amount of food, not too much and not too little. Also I loved the hot chocolate. read more

We went in after hearing a ton of great reviews from friends. The staff was extremely friendly, the atmosphere is cute, the food was good, yet nothing out of this world. I really loved the Mac and cheese. Everything was really great until a Cockroach decided to join us at our table at the end of our meal. We won't be returning but it was nice while it lasted. read more

Best breakfast Around. The butter syrup is awesome. Reminds me of my childhood. Worth the wait

Great food! Homemade style. Great service also. Love the laid back family feel and welcoming faces of staff.

Nice clean environment. Servers and hostesses are super friendly and kind. The menu was out dated and the waitress didn't mention the changes. We ordered the cucumber and tomato salad but we were told after we order they changed the recipe and omitted the tomatoes. Also I ordered the chicken salad because the menu said pecans and grapes were in the recipe but when I received the salad there were no pecans or grapes. I asked the waitress and she said oh I'm sorry they changed the recipe. read more

Bought our Thanksgiving dinner from Baker's Kitchen: Turkey. Mashed potatoes, dressing, gravy, collards. and rolls. Everything was delicious. Thank you!!!!!! read more

Entered the restaurant a little after 8am on a Wednesday to observe hardly any customers. Took about 20 minutes after being seated to get our coffee, another 10 minutes after that to have our order taken which consisted of two bacon and cheese omelets and that's it. Another 20 minutes go by with no coffee refills and when the eggs came, no bacon and they tasted like the generic food club version of egg beaters as well! No wait staff to rectify the no-bacon and of coarse it was indicated and charged to our bill. Well...first and last visit here....won't be back!!! $24.00 for 2 omelettes and coffee?? That's a lotta generic egg beaters cartons I could have bought myself at Walmart! GO ELSEWHERE !! read more

Absolutely delicious, get the chicken and waffles. I have recommended it to a ton of people already.

I got there at 9:30 am on a Monday! All I can say is wow this place was slammed with people. I went in and placed a to go order and ran around the corner to the ATM. I got back and found our food ready took it back to our Airbnb and we dove into it. OMG!!!!!! What a fantastic meal!!! Thank you Baker's Kitchen!!!!! You did not disappoint!!!! read more

This place is probably one of, if not, the busiest breakfast spot in New Bern. Took a while to get a seat (45 min at 10AM), but with the selection on the menu, I can see why. Chicken and waffles were awesome. This is a good place just get there early or be prepared to wait. read more

A favorite of visitors and locals alike. They never disappoint with breakfast. Best in New Bern and reasonably priced.

I typically only write reviews when I'm very pleased with a meal, but I will make an exception for the Baker's Kitchen. Both my husband's and my orders were wrong (he didn't get his cheese biscuit and for me there is nothing worse than ordering well done eggs and receiving slimey instead). My husband asked for sweet tea and twice got unsweetened. Yes, I know he shouldn't be drinking sweet but it really isn't the waitresses job to decide that for him ;-) Maybe we just, unfortunately, hit them on an off day but everything was definitely off. The gravy was dry and very salty, the home fries were overcooked and the ham in my hub's omelette was suspiciously Oscar-Meyerish. I understand they were very busy (30-45 wait) but an established restaurant in a tourist town should be capable of handling the hungry masses much better than that. We were quite disappointed. read more

What a great find! If you anywhere New Been, NC you have to stop at the Bakers Kitchen. The muffins, pastries and baked goods look amazing. My omelet was delicious and they were very accommodating when I asked for changes in my dish. The homemade biscuits are a must have!! Great atmosphere and service. Can't wait to get back there. read more

I was born in New Bern and lived in Vanceboro until 2013, well my girlfriend and I are here for the holidays and this is the first time I've ever ate here! Why?! I have no idea but I was missing out for sure. Get the French toast! The butter syrup is to die for and the bacon is flavorful and the meal is just an unforgettable taste! read more

Love this place! Every time we go out for breakfast we come here. The syrup is amazing with the chicken and waffles. Staff is always super nice and friendly. The wait can be long so get on the waitlist through yelp. read more

We put our names on the waiting list and were seated about 6-8 mins after we arrived. Our waiter was Rick. He was GREAT and very attentive to our needs. We had the chicken salad on the spinach strawberry salad with greens, green beans, macaroni and cheese as additions to our meals. The sides tasted like my grandmother was in the kitchen cooking. All the sides came out hot and everything was deliciously well seasoned. The baked goods were made fresh that day and tasted amazing. We WILL come back. read more

Usually this place is pretty good (French toast, chicken and waffles, hungry farmer/wife, biscuits, gravy) for the money. Today, though, the signature butter syrup was watery and when the unenthusiastic waitress brought more, it was the same crap. The country fried steak tasted like it was frozen and deep fried with freezer burn or something. Should've gone to IHOP Also, cinnamon rolls are not that great and neither are the cheese biscuits. read more

Wasn't that great, poor presentation of food, have had better pancakes at Denny's. If you like waiting for a regular breakfast that you can get at any dinner this is the place for you. read more

I took my family to lunch at Baker's Kitchen this week. The place was packed. It was a hot day and the AC inside felt great. The unsweetened tea was refreshing and replenished during our meal. Three in our group ordered a breakfast that included this honey butter dipping sauce that was mind blowing lay good. I ordered a BLT and Dutch (cheese) potatoes. The potatoes were good enough but the BLT was poor. The toast had no mayo. The bacon was burnt black. Lastly, there was a sliver of a mushy tomato. I would be embarrassed if I owned this restaurant and saw this poor quality delivered to my guest. read more

Just absolutely love this place! Great food! Great service! Very nice ambience! Prices are very reasonable. Food has a very good home cooked taste to it. They also have some of the best baked goods around. Not to mention excellent customer service!! I always try and eat here when I come to NewBern. read more

MOM THE MEAT LOAF, GET THE MEAT LOAF. Ordered the meat loaf of course. Very good overall. Layered with BBQ sauce. The Mac and cheese is also great along with the sweet potato fries. Great lunch spot. Big fan and definitely would return! read more

Maybe it's a bad day, but I don't know how this place has any stars. I got the eggs Benedict, the wait to get them wasn't long, but they were over cooked and cold. Maybe I got someone's return, but I overheard the lady next to me say hers were cold as well. I asked for a little extra Hollandaise sauce as it came with practically none. They brought me a little cup of what looked like cheese wiz. Everything looked and tasted like they got it off he shelf of a grocery store. Unfortunately as optimistic as I generally am, I can find nothing positive to say about this place. 1st time Yelp has let me down. read more

We almost didn't come here because I was worried I would t find something on the healthier side to eat but I did! This is a fabulous breakfast joint in the heart of town with a wide variety of options. I had an egg white omelette with a sweet potato biscuit and my son had an apple turnover and scrambled eggs. Ok somewhat healthy. Great coffee and friendly service. read more
