Wow. I was not expecting to be blown away by this breakfast sandwich, but here we are. I ordered the Eddie, which is an egg and cheese sandwich, and I added bacon. They had gluten free bread, which isn't always easy to find in a bakery, so I got that. Now normally, GF bread is nothing to write home about and often resembles a spongy, white piece of foam, so I was delighted to open up the foil to see something that actually looked like real bread. This bread had crust too. It was soft and flavorful with an excellent texture. I think it's made with buckwheat, and had a bit of a sweet hint to it. The bacon was plentiful, thick, and a nice mix of crispy and meaty. I didn't want this sandwich to end. My husband got the same sandwich but on a Kaiser roll and loved it as well. The bakery itself was cozy and had a lot of options for freshly baked bread, croissants, and pastries. They had a full coffee bar with lots of options as well. I like that they have a station set up where you can add any type of milk or sweetener you want, as well as condiments, plasticware, to-go bags and more. And for dessert, I got a GF brownie to go...it was phenomenal. Big, moist, delicious, and had a layer of chocolate fudge and chunks on top. My only regret is that I didn't find this place at the start of my trip, because I would have been there every morning. I can't wait to come back on my next visit to Saratoga! read more

Ambiance is nice but the food is overpriced and not great. Not grade A ingredients but grade A pricing. There's this pole with baskets in the middle of the store which I bumped into and it left a bruise--not good placement or care to protect people. read more

Hands down, the best raspberry bear claws!!! Two friends, my husband & myself all did a taste test comparison between the Bread Basket & a much pricier Bear Cup bear claw. The raspberry bear claw from the Bread Basket won with all 4 of us enthusiastically choosing their "claw" and we did not have to wait in a long line. Great pastries & very friendly staff! read more

We stepped in on *sadly* our last vacation morning in Saratoga Springs. We were greeted as soon as we walked in. There was ample seating outdoors in the patio but alas the weather turned for the colder that morning and so we sat inside. There are a handful of tables inside and we were lucky to grab the last. Hubby got the M breakfast sandwich with a small latte and I had the avo toast with and egg and a large coffee. The food came out quickly and everything was delish and cooked well. I lamented the lack of "to stay" cups and plates as our dishes and things were tossed within minutes. We took a loaf of sourdough home, this is my reminder to go get it out of the car. A solid start to the day, and pleasantly located by Congress Park. read more

The food is made with love. . Fantastic French Toast . Jim Dandy on homemade bread was heavenly . Could not finish the Henry street burrito - yum read more

Such a cute (and busy) spot across the street from Congress Park. Lots of fresh goodies, bread, cookies and bakery items. They do breakfast sandwiches and lunch. We wanted to try a sandwich but it was a 30 min wait so we will put back on our list for our next visit. They just opened their second location in Wilton. read more

This is the BEST place to get your breakfast pastries and fresh bread! I might be prejudiced because I worked there many moons ago but since my husband retired we've traveled around and I've yet to find any place to match read more

This place was incredible. All my times in Saratoga Springs and staying here as layover town, I've never come here. It's abit off the main strip, but it was SO worth it. I'm thinking about it now. Food great, custom orders done right, service great, all so kind, and chill flow off the beaten path. read more

(We visited Saratoga during Labor Weekend so this review is a couple weeks late.) Neighborhood gem! Super nice folks working here, and the bakery case was mouthwatering. I wanted 1 of everything. I refrained and just got 1 scone and 1 pastry. They have several options for coffee, and they serve it HOT so be ready. Hot coffee and a pastry/scone (while not really a balance nor healthy diet) sure hits the spot while sitting out at The Spa to watch morning workouts. When we walked inside, there were only a couple people sitting down. When new left 10 minutes later, the parking lot was full and there was a line at the bakery case...we timed it just right. This place seems to get a lot of business in the morning. So, if you are hankering for a specific treat... I'd suggest going early. read more

OMG BEST CAKE EVER! * * my best friends Dad. I ordered a cake for my GF birthday. Unfortunately I never made it to the bakery to pick it up on time. I took a detour and got lost. My bad. So I walked down as soon as we woke up, my google maps said 15 min walk. I packed a freezer bag so the cake didn't melt in the Toga heat. It took closer to 20 minutes due to the condition of the sidewalks around town. The worst. Tripping every other step. The bakery was cute and very busy! A good sign. They still had my cake! Yay! Tossed it in the freezer bag ordered some snacks for a peace offering, cinnamon buns and blueberry scones. All were killer. Walked home. The walk was tough. The cake felt so heavy. I've never carried a cake. Let's love this far and at such a weight....maybe 10 pounds. No kidding. I had to keep switching arms. Anyway. Long story short. The cake lands on the plate with a thud! It's amazing. Ima so glad I found this place. It made everyone so happy. Let them eat cake! And we did!! Sorry no pic. We ate it! read more

This is a real nice spot to check out just off Broadway a couple blocks, right across the street from Congress Park. They do all kinds of made to order sandwiches, have lots of different baked goods from scones, muffins, cookies, breads, cupcakes, and even full size cakes (take a look see at my pics). They also serve salads and several tapas, surprisingly. This last trip I purchased a large cupcake; the P.B. and C...chocolate cake, peanut butter mousse, and buttercream ganache...wow, talk about decadent. I would buy this cupcake again in a second and warn you to eat just half of it as it is quite large and has to be a caloric atom bomb! My oh my, did I enjoy this cupcake. The do coffee refills for only 54 cents and even have a flyer up saying you can enroll in a 2-3 hour baking class at this location that's fifty dollars per person. They do a shortened winter hour schedule so you might want to check ahead if it's winter just to assure they're indeed open for business. Lots of parking a half a block a way in an actual parking lot and they have an outdoor seating area as well for weather appropriate dining and people watching. read more

Loved their baked goods and the guy who helped was awesome. The location was easy to find. The place was super cute. Great energy.

Loved the cottage look of this place. Actually the reason I wanted to check it out. Went for breakfast. French toast. Breakfast Burrito. Scrambled eggs with cheese. Everything was amazing. There was a bit of a wait, but there were lots of people and it looked like one woman cooking. Oh and last but definitely not least....the raspberry bear claw!! The right amount of sweet and raspberry tart. It was soft. It was great. Definitely treat yourself to the bakery goods while there!! read more

Something is not quite operationally here. Saturday morning while lazily searching for breakfast options we came across The Bread Basket. We opted to place an order online for curbside pick up, estimated wait time was 35 minutes. The online ordering appeared up to date with their current available offerings so we ordered some breakfast sandwiches, some pastries and some coffees. Before leaving I got a text my order was ready. We pulled into the parking lot and waited about 10 minutes before I went inside to check on the situation. When I asked about our order I was told it would be another 10-15 minutes as they were behind and when asked they said we received a text because 'the system was glitchy'. They finally bring our items out to the car in a big paper bag, now I wasn't handed the bag so I asked if that was everything, were our coffees in the bag? The guy made it seem like we had to get our coffees inside which I emphasized that seemed like a broken curbside process. He went back in to make our coffees. So we head out finally and get back to the house only to see we only got the sandwiches and no pastry items were in the bag. I called to tell them to which they continued to stress how busy they were. I also asked why my breakfast sandwich was on a burger bun to which I was told they were subbing that in for the English muffins and they were again, too busy to call and inform us. While they offered we could come back to get the pastries, they said now most of those items were sold out so I requested a refund on the pastries. That's a lengthy story about a very broken system, but the food was not great. Maybe the English muffin would have been better but this was a very sad breakfast sandwich. My friends said the tomato on the avocado toast was good but the avocado to bread ratio looked scarce. read more

My Sweetheart brought me a birthday cake from this fine bakery. He didn't know that I prefer yellow cake, or maybe he did and just wanted chocolate, but it was THE BEST commercial chocolate cake I have ever had. Moist, not too sweet, no gory gross fruit gel in the center. White vanilla frosting. Mmmm. Wishing there were more in my freezer... read more

My husband and I had lattes and breakfast sandwiches. Each of us had the Eddie M--eggs, cheese and choice of meat. We were not disappointed. My husband had the gluten free bread and thought it was the best he has ever had. Thick slices that did not crumble. Staff was friendly and welcoming. We would definitely return. read more

We used to go to the bread basket for years, but recently went back after a year. What a disappointment! My husband drove 50mins on a Sunday morning to pick up bear claws. I was craving one. They are NOTHING like they used to be. They are all bready now with little flavor. They used to be sticky and gooey, such a decadent treat. Now, not worth the calories. So disappointing. Will not be going back for those. Please bring back the old recipe!!!!! Please!!! read more

Delicious, fresh, baked goods and light meals! Friendly helpful staff too. Definitely recommend!

I haven't tried the baked goods here yet but I've heard that they are delicious. I did have a breakfast sandwich and it was pretty good. Nothing crazy "over-the-top amazing-ness" but a decent breakfast sandwich. It was egg and cheese served on a homemade English muffin. I added ketchup and hot sauce to kick up the flavor a notch. Iced coffee was decent. I didn't even put any milk in it and I was able to just drink it straight up. The girl behind the counter was very, very, very, very, VERY friendly. I'm accentuating that because I've seen other reviews complaining about unfriendly staff. This girl was trying very hard...almost too hard...but I'm never going to complain about somebody who is trying to give good service with a smile. Will need to try the bakery sometime. read more

Thank you to the team at The Bread Basket Bakery for making our big day, delicious!!!

One of my favorite coffee spots in Saratoga. Right across from the park and the famous spit and spat. Super friendly people and great service. I had avocado toast with eggs. A huge portion. Delicious. Egg sandwiches are great. Get off Broadway and the crowds and go to the Bread Basket. read more

We used to LOVE coming here whenever we were in the area, but I think there is new ownership. My sandwich was $15, and definitely not worth the price. There was a small clump of Turkey smack in the middle of my sandwich, and one little slice of apple. Our latte had no flavor, and everything was served on a paper plate and plastic cup. Also, no prices on pastries or drinks, so we were shocked when we were told how much we owed. The bright spot was the Kouign Amann... very tasty. However, like I said, I used to love it here, but we won't come back. read more

Excellent breakfast/lunch fare away from the maddening crowd on Broadway. Parking lot in back. Made to order breakfasts, sandwiches & gourmet soups. Very reasonable by Saratoga standards. Highly recommend for breakfast or lunch with indoor or front deck seating. Enjoy the outdoor garden view across from Congress Park. No table service but a very accommodating staff for special requests. Easy access to/from the Northway. read more

Hours are all over the place. Staff is inconsistent. Food is mostly good with the occasional too salty sandwich. Need more varieties in stock. I really love their bread and many of their treats but it's really difficult to understand what is happening with this place. I realize with Covid things are crazy but you have to at least get some consistency to run a business. Some of these things were prior so can't blame it all on that. I hope they can fix these issues because it's a great place otherwise. read more

Food and service are outstanding. Always made to order breakfasts and the best pastries .

I have been a patron of the bread basket for at least 15 years. I am so disappointed with the huge decline in the quality of the baked goods. Picked up two bakery items today a sticky bun and a bear claw. BOTH were very stale. At these prices you expect fresh baked goods. We won't be back in the near future. Please reevaluate your bakery. So so disappointed. read more

I've been getting the "chicken lily" salad occasionally the past 2 years. Today was 1st time since ownership change. It isn't as great as it used to be - meh. Bakery items look lovely. The quiches are good. Was going to buy a loaf of bread but at $7.75, I changed my mind. Even tho proceeds go to charity, that is steep IMHO. read more

My family comes to Saratoga every summer, and we've been to this sandwich shop over 10 times now. I feel this week's experience there for lunch is typical of all the times we've been here: Fresh breads and fresh sandwich & salad ingredients? Check. Decent selection of lunch fare? Check. Awesome (but pricey) cupcakes? Double check. Crumbs on table and dirty chairs? Check. Surly girl making the sandwiches? Check. 3 gals and one guy chatting behind the counter, not interested in taking our orders? Triple check. (Hubby couldn't even get the gals' attention after lunch to get an eclair, and he was really hankering for one, practically throwing his money on the counter. This was at 2pm and few customers were there. The gals were all busy chatting and giggling). Honestly, I'm not sure why we keep giving this place "one more chance". Maybe it's because of its prime location across from Congress Park. read more

The breads and baked goods are great. Solid rendition of your bear claws and sticky buns, plus sandwich loaves baked on the premises. There's a really interesting rye with an odd name (that I can't remember) which includes a subtle mix-in of seeds. Four stars for the bread, and it might go higher if they got a slicer. But only two stars for the lunch. Meats on a sandwich were obviously pre-sliced and the sandwich was sloppily prepared. A salad ordered to go was missing its dressing. And the place is a little casual and thrown together to have a sit down lunch if that is what you desire. Advice: stick to the baked goods and have yourself a four-star experience. read more
