I believe it was ray that checked us out and she was the sweetest person! Best service! It's good to see people with such positive attitudes like her read more

Always consistently good food at any of the three College Station locations. Their house baked breads, pastries, pizzas and cookies are all terrific. They also have seasonal specials like their crawfish roll that are very good. I tried their newest creation today: the Salmon Fiesta Bowl which was smoky and very tasty. I will continue to come back to Blue Baker and I heartily recommend. read more

Blue Baker - Salmon Fiesta Bowl - Pizza Near Me - College Station, Texas

One of my favorite places at College Station. The service here is excellent and the food is delicious. This morning I ordered a Chorizo Avocado Egg Bagel, it was so tasty! We came here for breakfast around 9:30 and found a booth by the window. This location is also great for studying during the week. Sometimes you have to wait a while to get booths with an outlet. read more

I got the pesto pizza, and it was the best pizza I've ever had. Would highly recommend. I went when it was pretty empty (it was early), but I'm sure this is a popular hang out spot. The interior is pretty neat, lots of seating. The employee that took our order was very nice. We also bought a loaf of sourdough to bring home, and a sugar cookie; both were amazing. I'll definitely be back! read more

As a team order the food was on time, as expected if it was put in early. In addition the sandwiches rang from Sandwich melts to croissant and bagel breaded and to classic whole wheat. Over all I really enjoyed my sandwich although I would have thought it would have come with some type of chips, but overall very flavorful sandwiches read more

To see my full review with pictures and links, see my blog post! http://lambentdream.blogspot.com/2013/06/blue-baker-review.html Blue Baker is one of my favorite bakeries in College Station. They are an artisan bakery that bakes everything from scratch, starting from 3 or 4 am in the morning. Doubling as a restaurant, they serve fresh bagels, pastries, breads, pizzas, sandwiches, desserts, salads, and soups. Every month features specials, such as peach pecan scone, candied orange twist, and key lime tarts for this month of June. Additionally, they have weekly bread and pastry specials. I typically go to Blue Baker to eat their scone specials, but everything on their menu is superb. Their breads are moist, have the perfect crumb and texture (a little chewy, perfect crunchy golden crust that you can bite through, a little sweet, moist enough for bread), and show off that artisan, made-by-hand look. Their sweet breads and pastries are delicious and varied. My favorite sweet breads are the zucchini bread sold every Sunday, the blueberry peach bread (THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST) on Tuesdays, and the cinnamon swirl bread on Thursdays. I have yet to try the red, white, and blue sweetbread, but I am very excited to get it when July 4th rolls around. Cupcakes are large, maybe 2/3 the size of Costco-sized cupcakes. I have gotten the Boston Cream Pie and the Zucchini cupcakes before. Tasty, not too sweet, but definitely sweet. Good, standard. Maybe a bit dense for cake texture. Cookies are huge too. They offer many types every day: chocolate chip, chocolate walnut, chocolate decadence, peanut butter, oatmeal raisin. Special flavors are rotated in weekly and monthly, such as white chocolate macadamia, sugar, ginger. Scones are about the size of the ones as Starbucks, but feature different flavors that allow the buttery saltiness of the bread shine while melding with the sweets of the fruits incorporated or the sugar crystals on top. With the addition of nuts, the scones also give a nice crunch. Their pizzas are made Neapolitan style, which is a thin crisp crust, a touch of marinara sauce, and a delicate addition of fresh, quality toppings. Once before, I went with my BF and we ordered the four cheese tomato and the D'Vinchee. The four cheese tomato was delicious, with fresh slices of tomato, melty spots of mozarella everywhere, freshly chiffoned (sp?) basil, and drizzles of just perfect marinara over a bubbly thin crust. I liked mine better than the D'Vinchee, which was also good but I'm not a meat person and not as big a fan of portabella mushrooms. The D'Vinchee has olive oil, mozarella, sausage, roasted portabella mushrooms, chicken, and cilantro. These pizzas are not as filling as Pizza Hut or Dominos (as in one slice won't fill you, but 1/2 to a whole 9" pizza will), but they are high quality pizzas. Prices are somewhat high, upwards of $8-10 for a meal. Individual breads and pastries are quite affordable. Scones are about $2.25; cupcakes around $3.50 (a bit pricey, but they are large); breads about $4.50 for a loaf (I get day-olds for half off) or $3.00 for baguettes, ciabatta, focaccia. Despite the somewhat higher prices for meals, you are paying for the quality of your food. All the workers here are also extremely nice, fast, and wonderful. This is, again, one of my favorite places in College Station. Hit either location on University or Dominik Drive in College Station, or their newest store in Austin, TX. This is one artisan bakery and restaurant that truly deserves to be tasted! read more

Met my son for lunch here since i was in town. He comes regularly since he is a student at A&M. Ordered the indigo sandwich. Had to let it cool for a moment since it was so fresh out of the oven. Very tasty, hot and steamy. It is chicken breast on focaccia bread with tomato aioli, spinach and provolone. Excellent sandwich. I would definitely order it again. Finished off my meal with a chocolate pistachio tart. Looks amazing. But unfortunately it seems to just be chocolate pudding with a bit of pistachios sprinkled on, in a plain crust. It was only ok. I do like the layout of the place. Lots of random type booths or table areas to sit. It is definitely not just table after table lined up, all the same. This location even has a nice view of a fountain area. read more

During my stay in College Station I stopped by here several times as it was close to my hotel. Each time there I tried something new and everything was tsty, was fresh and healthy. From the pizza, soups and salads to the pastries, breakfasts you simply cant go wrong here..inexpensive too..check them out read more

This place is hard to review..... food is ok, but way way over priced! Service has always been good. Its clean,neat and modern.

I have been a fan of Blue Baker for years now and have been craving it ever since the Austin location closed. Good to stop in one of the College Station locations- the big one off University. I got the green chile and potato soups combined in a bread bowl. So good with a hint of spice. Blue Baker is a great place to study and snack on some baked goods while here. Thanks Blue Baker!! read more

This place is the Bee's knees! Called in, and got my fix with a turkey on focaccia, spinach, sliced tomatoes, sliced Buffalo mozzarella, and a touch of balsamic. When I arrived, it was bagged and ready to go! And let me tell you, it was DELICIOUS. will totally make this my go-to sandwich spot whenever I'm in College Station!! read more

My favorite deli/sandwich place in good ole Cstat. I love their chicken pesto pizza, bread bowls, coffees, cookies, and club sandwich. I've never had a bad experience here. The only thing on the menu I didn't enjoy was their salad with salmon. Very minuscule amount of salad which made the salad just normal and plain...not worth the money. The chicken pesto pizza is so good and has thin crust, even distribution of toppings and the pesto is very tasty. It's also a healthier option than other pizzas on the menu like the meat lovers one for example. There's ample seating inside and out and the outside seating has shade under umbrellas and is right by the fountain too. read more

Overall just an average coffee place. Nothing special and tbh it doesn't have very good coffee

Blue baker has a great variety of tasty foods to choose from. Most places I have one regular dish I always order, but at blue baker it's closer to 5 "regular" dishes I swap around depending on how I feel. The people are really nice, and it is a great place for groups or study sessions. Definitely would recommend. read more

Good place for a quick lunch. I had tomato basil soup, terry had potato soup. Both were good and ordering was quick and easy. Employees were veer helpful. I'd come back and try the pizza that looked great. read more

New guy at ordering station and me talking fast things will be missed NO BIG DEAL! He was super friendly. Ordered a Mediterranean pizza no peppers. Olives were on point Got a Mac and cheese to share super yummy. Pepperonis are a bit on the spicy side but the pizza is awesome. Restaurant is very clean and staff is really nice read more

Always good when we visit BCS. Don't miss out on the fresh homemade breads. The pizzas are always good and there's a lot to choose from. I wish they would expand to San Antonio. We would visit at least once a week! read more

Was passing through and never had been here. Staff was helpful, food tasty, a good place for some on the road work to be fine. Would definitely return. read more

Second time I have gone while I'm College Station. We have had the pizza, which was amazing! The salad was so good, could have gone back for seconds. Highly recommend! read more

I'm from Hawaii so I have never experienced a Blue Baker location. All I can say is yummy. If you ever get to eat here, you must have the lobster bisque. It's better than some of the soups I've had in fine dining restaurants. read more

After hearing great reviews about their homemade cupcakes, and reading online that they make them everyday; my family and I made a special trip to get together here from Austin and Houston. We ordered the Raspberry and Dreamsicle cupcakes as well as the Aztec Brownie. My first thought upon biting into the Raspberry Cupcake, was that it was really hard. I work in a bakery, I know what old cupcake taste like, and this one was old. The Dremsicle was a bit softer but the flavor was off. The brownie was defently spicy, but they seemed to forget to add sugar to the recipe. We added honey. In the end only a few bites of the cupcakes were eaten before we took them back. They confirmed that the raspberry cupcake was at least 37 hours old. On top of the food, the restaurant was freezing and the bathroom had a troft for a sink, so when you washed your hands, water went everywhere. Here piggy, piggy, piggy... read more

This is one of my hometown favorite places to come to. Great sandwiches and salads, and it's a really nice place to meet friends and get some work and writing done read more

A little on the pricey side - but then I guess so is McDonald's theses days. I got their "Indigo" and added more stuff on it, which made it hard to eat without making a mess. It would've been good "As is". Anyway, it was worth the mess and we ate at home anyway. Our "to go" order was ready to go when we got there! read more

We came here on a Saturday afternoon and it was very quiet. I could see how it would be a great lunch spot too. The tomato parmesan soup was really good and I'm kind of a stickler on that. My Husband got a large pesto pizza and I had a few slices. Yum. Could totally have eaten a whole one. I gave 5 stars even though the sweet tea wasn't sweet & the chocolate cookie was WAY too sweet with no real chocolate taste. Also, I understand the decor is sopposed to be all "industrial" looking but I think placing some wicker or straw baskets with fresh flowers would add a nice touch of warmth to match the home baked goodness of the main meals. By the way, don't pass up the vanilla cream soda. It's like a dessert! read more

Blue Baker - Pesto pizza with fresh basil strips & tomato parmesan soup in a bread bowl. - Pizza Near Me - College Station, Texas

This place consistently brings me and belly joy! Everything that I have tried is delicious from the pizza, the roasted veggie sandwich, soups, soups in bread-bowls, the variety of desserts, and even the salads! I love the aesthetic inside and the food always comes out quick! Fair prices as well. Always a good time! read more

Blue Baker is a College Station original and classic. It's a solid stop for good sandwiches and healthy options, and they also offer pizza and other unhealthy (tasty) options. Their original location is smaller but still great. This location is bigger and located in a more happening area with other restaurants. Good folks working here - friendly service every time. I've gotten the Tejas Blue for years and my wife gets the Spartachoke (sp?) - which is no longer on the menu but they'll still make (veggie sammich with artichoke hearts). Both are healthy and clean tasting, and I recommend their multi-grain bread. I will say these are not giant, stacked sammiches. They're not heavy. If you're starving, better get a side and maybe some soup or something. These are healthy sammiches, for the most part. (See a theme here?) Why not 5 stars? They used to have "meal deals," whether they were called that or not. Now they don't. I'm sorry, but if I want to add chips and a drink to a sandwich, you should have a meal deal add-on. Not discounting that just sucks, because pretty much everywhere else does. Sandwich shops have a deal to add on chips and drink and make it a meal - that's standard operating procedure, sandwich shop code of conduct. It makes the customer feel like they're getting a deal, and it's easy to offer since soda fountain drinks cost the restaurant less than 5 cents each. So why did y'all get rid of it, Blue Baker? If you're working on going corporate and getting greedy, it's not flattering on you. read more

A great, cheap, and easy place to dine-out! We ordered the Pesto Pizza, Walnut aApple Salad and some desserts. The pizza was excellent and the price was decent. $41 for the whole thing including sodas. Recommended if you want a cheap and easy place to eat out. read more

My family goes here often as the pastries are outstanding. Further, the service is usually stellar.

Definitely a great find in College Station. I would think of this place like Panera's older brother - hipper, cooler, and much more laid back. Pros: + great selection of sandwiches, soups, etc. + Awesome Pizzas - + Loved the idea of separating speedy items from slower items + would be a great study spot if they had more lighting + Friendly service + Parking + Great location Cons - not enough lighting to be able to read - I'd really like to spend an afternoon here getting coffee and reading but it's just not very conducive to that. read more

I was SO excited to hear Blue Baker brought back their breakfast menu. I was a huge fan of their smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel before, but this was absolutely a disgrace. If I could give 0 stars, I would. Not only is there hardly any salmon on the bagel, it literally looks and tastes like canned salmon??? I am so disappointed. It did not used to be like this read more

Another superb meal from Blue Baker! My family loves this place! We will be back, likely this week again!

Went here for lunch. Everything here is definitely BLUE! Even the straws. They made really good use of space, there's tables and chairs everywhere but it still feels spacious. I had the D, Vinchee Pizza 9 inch which was definitely filling for me. It was so yummiliciousness and so fresh as well. My bf had the Club Bleu which was tasty as well, but it's nothing like the pizza. Plus the portion size really sucked for that price. I felt like we got jipped. But I was too busy eating pizza. Lots of people were here chilling with their laptops like it was a coffee house, but they have so much room and tables, that it didn't really bother me. Definitely will come back. read more

First place in CS that I visited the only time I came there (perhaps the last lol) and I have to say it's an interesting concept. It's part college library with the semi-private booths they have for studying and wifi, it's part Starbucks for meeting people out on a patio, and they have a nice selection of cafe style foods like salads and sandwiches and such. I tried some of their bread samples and they were great (I was not at a position to buy bread however) so I just got a smoked salmon salad. The salad was good but it was very heavy on lettuce - the dark green parts which are the most nutritiousness but most people toss out, but very little in terms of meat...still, for the low price, can't ask for more. If I ever go back to College Station, it's probably my go to place for lunch or dinner now. read more

it's frustrating when a place that started as a favorite becomes one you won't go to any longer. it's been multiple issues across multiple visits. Like a lot of places the customer service has really fallen off. I had a birthday coupon that had NOT expired but wasn't showing up in their system. they kept asking me about it like I created the coupon somehow. I saw my food sitting for 13 minutes. (looked at my watch.) I asked if the order was mine and the girl behind the register said "if it was yours the buzzer would have vibrated.". Lo and behold guess who's order that was after I stared at it for almost 15 minutes. Unfortunately it's just one thing after another at this point. read more

Visited this restaurant twice while in College Station. It was very convient as it was right across the street from the Hilton. First time I stopped in for lunch and had a hot sandwich, it was good, but would have been nice if cut in half. Next visit I got a smoked salmon everything bagel. It was good, but overwhelmed by the amount of cream cheese to the Salmon. Everybody was nice, danish was good. read more
