We got to Baker Baker around 8:10am on A Saturday and they were already sold out of most things,…read morewhich honestly just shows how loved they are. The lady at the front was so kind and welcoming, even though it was clear they'd had a rush (it was Easter weekend, so totally understandable that people came early and stocked up!). Everything is super reasonably priced,all items are $3, and you can get a half dozen for just $12. That's wild for the quality you're getting! They have an amazing variety: danishes, cookies, pound cakes, and more. We ended up with a vanilla glazed cinnamon bun, lemon pound cake, cinnamon danish crunch, almond cloud cookie, karma cookie, and a pecan pie bar to split with one of my close friends, and every single bite was absolutely delicious. I wish I had known there was a line forming right at 7am. I would've rolled out of bed sooner. Thankfully, they told us you can call ahead and reserve, which we might just do next time because I'm already thinking about going back. I highly recommend the danishes & vanilla cinnamon glaze glazed bun and the pecan pie bar! This place is one of those spots you'll want to visit again and again, just get there early or call ahead to snag the goods!

Service is always good but something changed with the food about a year ago. The filling for all…read morethe pastries shrunk, the dough recipe for everything I used to get has changed, and now there's been a price hike. The last time I had their brown butter chocolate chip cookies (2 for $3) I absolutely loved them, but I got one (one thick cookie) recently for $4 and it tasted like it was left in a fridge uncovered for days. I didn't even finish it, just threw it away half-eaten, that's how unappealing it was. I really used to love this place, it was pretty convenient to grab something small and cheap before work, but I don't see myself going back.

The biscuits that they make are amazing and as far as every pastry I've tried so far I have thoroughly enjoyed every single one of them including the raspberry almond croissant and I don't even like raspberries so that says a lot! The service is great in the mornings but the last time I went in the afternoon I wasn't a fan of the attitude some of the workers had so I'm definitely sticking to mornings. (I chose not to tip because of how they greeted me and unfortunately this was the time the food was bad so I was very upset) Over all I love this place. I am all about an honest review. I love the decor and over all vibe of the place. I hope that one day they're able to expand a bit and have comfier seating so that people could stay longer and enjoy the atmosphere as well as continue to purchase more of their products!

I didn't realize they make the donuts fresh to order, so that was such a nice surprise. Most of the donuts we tried were really yummy, warm, flavorful, and definitely worth the stop. There was one that wasn't fully cooked inside and ended up a bit wet and doughy, but everything else was great. The staff was super friendly and welcoming, and they have a wide selection of flavors to choose from, so there's something for everyone. Overall, we'll definitely be back one morning when we're craving a yummy treat!

I went mid-morning on a Saturday and it was a little busy, but we were still able to get seated pretty quickly. The place is a full-service restaurant, but they also have a counter where you can order muffins and other baked goods to go. Honestly, the muffins are the main reason I come here. We ordered the biscuits and gravy, which were really tasty, but the highlight was definitely the muffin. Our server suggested ordering one and having it grilled, which I had never tried before and it was so good. They slice it in half and cook it on the griddle so the outside gets caramelized and slightly crispy while the inside stays soft. It completely elevates the muffin and makes it feel more like a dessert than breakfast. Overall it's a great casual breakfast spot, and if you go, definitely get a muffin and have them grill it.

I think I've found Gainesville's best bagel spot! So far, all I've heard has been rave reviews of…read moreBagel Bakery. And it DEFINITELY lived up to the hype without a doubt. The Bagel Bakery offer a nice variety of bagels, along with other baked goods, sandwiches, wraps, coffees, and plenty of cream cheeses. Their bagels are made fresh throughout the morning. I would recommend going earlier in the day in order to have the best, freshest variety before they sell out. The workers are some of the nicest people. They are all super helpful and very friendly. When it came to ordering, they were extremely helpful and patient. Ordering is really easy and the staff does an amazing job handling customers. Service is just 10/10! The inside is welcoming and comfortable. With a decent amount of seating option, both inside and out, it is a great place to go with friends. I ended up ordering a toasted bacon-cheddar bagel with spinach & artichoke cream cheese. The bagel was phenomenal, I have absolutely no complaints. Super soft and fresh, the texture was wonderful. I wouldn't consider this a New York styled bagel, but it was still better than any of the other bagels I've had in Gainesville. The bagel had real bacon on it, which made all the difference in the bacon flavor. The cheddar was sharp, but not overpowering. The spinach-artichoke cream cheese was like nothing I'd had before. With actual pieces of artichokes in it, it was perfection. The texture of the cream cheese was also nice. Not too thick, but necessary whipped, I thoroughly enjoyed it! While I was checking out their cookies caught my eye and I added a chocolate chip one to my order. The cashier offered me a free day old cookie from the previous that they couldn't sell. This was very generous and appreciated! The chocolate cookies were very good. I appreciated the different chunks of chocolate in the cookie. The base of the cookie had a good buttery, brown sugar taste...delicious! The free, day-old cookie obviously wasn't as fresh as the ladder, but still good nonetheless. The cookies were so satisfying I actually came back to order another one. I ordered the lemon blueberry one and the cashier, once again, offered me another free cookie. The lemon-blueberry cookie was also amazing. Buttery, with a tangy lemon flavor, the cookie was really moist. The other free cookie I got was a caramel chip one. This was more of a crunchy cookie with chunks of caramelized caramel pieces and white chocolate chips. You really can't go wrong with any of the baked good here. I do appreciate the fact that they prioritize selling fresh baked goods each day! Overall, I was blown away with the Bagel Bakery. Honestly I'm kicking myself because I haven't come here sooner. The bagels are extremely fresh, with a great variety, and the perfect texture. The cream cheeses are great as well and have a nice consistency. Everything had so much flavor here. I think that is proof they use good ingredients and take pride in their craft. All the cookies I tried were amazing and shouldn't be missed either. The service is above and beyond. Really made the whole experience even better. This place feels like a local place and they treat their customers so well. Next time I come I will have to try more of their bagels (obviously), but also try some of their other baked goods too! It is safe to say I will be returning. I would HIGHLY recommend coming here over any other bagel place in the area.

I stopped by Bagels & Co a couple times over the past few weeks and wasn't "wowed". Having been…read morehere plenty of times, I love seeing what new bagels and schmears that have. While their bagels are not New York styled by any means, they do fix a craving for bagels. The inside is still kept clean and the service is still good. Staff is accommodating and pretty friendly. I prefer ordering online as it is very easy and you can even earn rewards! I stopped by on two different occasions recently to try some of their cream cheese specials. They included the Caesar Cream Cheese and Pimento Cream Cheese. I was super excited to try these as they are both unique, bold flavors. I ordered the pimento cream cheese on a toasted salt bagel--big mistake. The salt bagel was HEAVILY salted with thick sea salt. The schmear itself was also saltier, which is fine, but paired with salt bagel it was just too much. I tried eating it but genuinely couldn't due to the amount of salt on the bagel...even upon scraping it off I couldn't. When I told one of the workers she gladly took the bagel and offered to replace it with a different bagel. I ended up getting a poppyseed bagel with the pimento cream cheese and this was much better. This was really nice of them to do and I greatly appreciated it. Another example of how good their service is! I really liked the pimento cream cheese and it went perfectly with the flavors of the poppyseed bagel. The pimento flavor was just right and I liked the consistency of this cream cheese more than others I've had in the past. On another visit, I tried their Caesar Cream Cheese on a protein bagel. I enjoyed this schmear too, but not as much as the pimento one. The Caesar cream cheese had a strong Caesar taste for sure, it even featured bacon bits. But the cream cheese was really heavy and too salty. I feel like this would have been better on a bagel sandwich with deli meat or a wrap as opposed to just a bagel. It definitely needed to be paired with something else to cut down the bold flavor of the Caesar. I was also disappointed that I received a plain bagel when I ordered a "protein bagel". This wasn't a big deal, I just wish I had been notified that they were out of the protein bagel before I ordered. However, I ended up ordering the French toast sticks with this bagel and WOW were these amazing. Perfectly crispy, with a slight sweetness--perfection and I would HIGHLY recommend trying these! Overall, I still enjoy Bagels & Co and their wide variety. Like I've said before, not the most authentic bagels, but it is a fun experience that allows you to try some unique items. The consistency of the cream cheeses aren't always my favorite, as they are very dense with a distinct cream cheese flavor. But, I really enjoyed the pimento cream cheese and hope it returns. I will have to try the Caesar on a sandwich next time to get a better judgment of it. French toast sticks should not be missed as I would return for these alone! I will probably return to try more new items though.
