    Strawberry cheese Croissant
    John K.

    I asked the lady what's their best selling bakery item and I went with the strawberry cheese croissant and I ordered a 12oz Carmella. The Carmella was excellent with the caramel flavor to my latte. The croissant was flaky which is nice. The cheese and strawberry topping was a little light on flavor. I was wanting cheese flavor and strawberry flavor to stand on their own. Very clean restaurant. The vibe of the restaurant is friendly and personable.

    I popped in here after traveling all weekend and wanted something fresh and green. I love a good salad but found it hard to choose since there aren't any descriptions on the menu. I could totally be missing a supplemental handheld menu, but I remember thinking this before when I've been in during previous visits. I went with a choice that I knew I couldn't go wrong with, the Greek salad. It was definitely fresh, loved the big chunks of feta and the tangy dressing. It was a simple salad I could make at home, but that's the nature of the kind of salad. Their baked goods always look delicious, and the coffee was fresh and good as well. This place has a lot of regulars and is a neighborhood favorite.

    What a happy place! I love the open concept of this bakery and cafe, and the service is super speedy! Their glass display of desserts makes me so distracted in the best way possible! Overall, the prices are reasonable, and you can probably spend a lot of time in here enjoying the family friendly ambiance and food.

    Yum! This place has the best bakery items and bread. For instance, their Blueberry Sour Cream loaf is phenomenal. It's also a really cute place to eat at, their lunch is affordable and quick. Check it out if you're ever in the area!

    Last Saturday I went to lunch with a friend. I have been coming to Daily Bread for decades starting out when they first opened up in University City over 40 years ago. I experienced a " freak accident". As I was pouring my cream into my very hot coffee at the coffee station something exploded at the coffee bar and spewed all the burning hot coffee on me and a metal lid from the lid dispenser exploded burning my forearm and soaking my silk top. It took what seemed like a long time for someone to even come over to help. One of the workers noticed the issue and brought some cold wet towels. Then a pastry chef finally came over to make an incident report and said something happened on the other side of the restaurant before but no one was there when it exploded. He insisted on giving me 2 pastries and said the owner would reach out to me on Monday. I am very disappointed that today March 30,2025 is one week later and the owner NEVER reached out to me. Thankfully the burn did not blister. It was a very painful few hours. My silk brocade blouse/jacket were stained. I am appalled that no one reached out to me. That lid container that exploded could have just as easily hit me in the face. What makes you think it's okay not to have reached out and explain what the issue is that you have things pressure exploding in your restaurant . Paula Sigel

    Seasonal grilled cheese with ships. Notice the size difference

    We stopped here after church to grab something lighter than what's around. Soup and salads sounded good and we were hopeful after seeing the crowd. Lots of parking and the interior of the place is cute and clean. Lots of subway tiles and black metal fixtures. Order was taken quickly and we grabbed a table to wait for our name to be called. Food was ok, but everything seemed a bit off than what we expected. The "pick 2" on the meme was for a full size sandwich/salad and soup. Not sure that our salads were the full sizes. Broccoli cheddar soup was luke warm, pretty thin/runny and had as amp shredded carrots as it did broccoli. Caesar salad with tomato? Cobb salad with mushrooms? The chicken on the Cobb salad was clearly precooked, and was dumped on top, as I pulled the pieces apart, not very appetizing. The seasonal grilled cheese was the most consistent thing that we got, but it was fairly tiny. The little bag of chips that came with it made it look even smaller. Place was packed with the after church crowd, and they seemed to be doing a good business. Not sure that this is a place we will go back to again. Felt like a more toned down version of Panera food.

    Was there on a Friday around noon, a lot of people there. Service was good as you stand in line to order and then call your name when the order is done. I had the ham, ell and cheese on a bagel and it was tasty about the right size. I had a fruit cup as a side, some of the fruit was not fresh. It was a struggle to find a table. Overall a good place for breakfast and lunch as they have a lot of choices and a lot of bakery items. Atmosphere was nice although a little to noisy for me

    I love this place!! Food is delicious, service is speedy. I love that I can order to go. I haven't ever eaten in.

Roast Beef, horseradish aioli, white cheddar, red onion on a poppy seed challah, oh my. On this day, they had something on the sweet side that caught my eye, a blueberry cream cheese Danish. I am always drawn to blueberry so I couldn't pass it up. I am not much of a sweet eater, hence the Roast Beef sandwich love but every once in a while, there is a sweet treat that I really love and this was one of those times! It was sweet, flaky, and delicious! I had a taste in the car and would have had another 1/4 after the sandwich but I ate the whole thing, I just couldn't stop. I hope they do and hope they don't have this more often!

The display cases are filled with works of art, that taste delicious. The staff is cheerful, friendly and all of them dressed in uniforms gives a feeling of professionalism. I enjoyed a Smoked Ham and Gruyere Croissant and a black coffee in house. I was to have a seat at the counter in their front window and relax while my dogs were at the doggie spa up the street. The croissant was super-super flakey and the smoked ham paired beautifully with the gruyere cheese. I couldn't come to NRB and not take home a couple of sweet treats. My favorite treat was the Raspberry Lemon Financier. It was so good the next morning with my home brewed coffee. Then that evening I enjoyed a Lemon Cake whose name I cannot recall. It exceeded moistness and the strong lemon flavor was just what I like. In addition to my treats, I got a Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookie for my fur-babies pet stylist as part of her tip. My only dislike and it's minor, is that they serve Kaldi's Coffee. I'm glad they are supporting another local small business, but I am not a fan of their product. Typically when I know a cafe serves Kaldi's, I pass on the coffee, but I made an exception here.

The moment you step into Diana's, you're wrapped in the warm, sweet aroma of a traditional panadería -- fresh breads, sugar-topped pastries, and that unmistakable feeling that everything here is made con amor. The pastry cases are a celebration of color and flavor -- pillowy conchas, golden empanadas, trays of vibrant pan dulce, and fresh breads like bolillos and telera rolls that practically beg to come home with you. Every bite feels authentic, comforting, and joyful -- the kind of baking that carries tradition in every crumb. The conchas are especially spectacular -- soft, lightly sweet, with that perfect sugary shell. Pair one with a cup of coffee and suddenly the whole morning feels like a little fiesta. I especially love popping in and picking up fresh bread for Sunday brunch. There's something about bringing home warm bolillos or sweet pastries that instantly turns brunch into a celebration. But what really makes Diana's shine is the spirit of the place. There's warmth, laughter, and that welcoming neighborhood energy that makes you want to linger just a little longer. The staff are so gracious and kind -- the kind of hospitality that makes you feel like familia. Diana's Bakery is more than a bakery. It's flavor, tradition, culture, and alegría all in one beautiful little spot on Cherokee Street. Auténtico. Delicioso. Puro sabor latino. -- Big Daddy Tedd Energy

Their Bake & Take cakes are absolutely out of this world. Beautifully made, perfectly balanced, and consistently delicious. I've picked one up on several occasions and every single time it has been a complete showstopper. The flavors are wonderful, the cakes are fresh, and they somehow manage to taste like they were made in a friend's kitchen with a whole lot of love. And the staff? Absolutely adorable. So warm, gracious, and genuinely kind. You walk in and immediately feel welcomed, which makes the experience even sweeter. For someone who usually insists on baking their own cakes, that's saying something: When I don't have time to bake, I trust The Cakery every single time. A true baker's delight. -- Tedd

The General Tao's has a solid kick and is drenched in the sweet sauce. A slight tang, plenty of sweetness, and the kick of peppers makes this dish a favorite. Their orange chicken is great as well. My partner always orders that. Super bright and citrusy with that same kick from the Szechuan. Lastly, got pot stickers for the first time and they were fire.
