Overpriced junk. Frozen food not fresh. Gross. I had to keep asking is this made fresh? No that's frozen. The chips are made in the morning kept In a bucket so they are cold when you get them. The hamburger patty tasted like a frozen Bubba burger from Walmart. And jar gravy on top. read more

The food is amazing and love taking anyone who comes down to visit us to Baker's. The service is always good and friendly! If you ever been downtown after 9am you know that place is good because it's packed all the way out on the sidewalk. read more

Great little shot for bfast and lunch. Breakfast is served all day. They do close at 2pm and are closed on Tuesdays. They do not show substitutions on the menu and don't allow you to mix breakfast and lunch (I tried getting a lunch entree with breakfast sides) read more

The greeting wasn't friendly. I just stood while the host/hostess just carried on discussing busy as if I wasn't there. Then, the proverbial question, "Have you been helped?!" As if I surprised them and magically appeared at the check-in. Piss Poor customer service. Can't help but wonder if I were another color, would the address have been the same.... Charles read more

Had the waffles with Butter syrup and Biscuits and Gravy. Portions were great. Waitress was super friendly. The "world famous" syrup and the waffle didn't have much flavor. The sausage gravy didn't taste like sausage. I really wanted to love this place. I love small town local businesses and always try to support them, but all in all I thought the food was really plain. read more

This restaurant has the best Southern breakfast in downtown New Bern, NC! While other people are Black Friday shopping, filling their carts, my husband and I would rather fill our bellies (as if we really need it after being stuffed the previous day!) My husband alllwaaayyysss orders the Hungry Farmer and soommetimes will change it up, if I suggest it, but it has everything you want in a breakfast! I usually order something a little smaller and steal his Dutch Potatoes because that is my favorite side. I could probably eat a whole casserole of it, it's that delicious! If you still have room or want dessert for later, they have a bakery case filled with cupcakes, muffins, pies, and cookies! Our favorite is the Peanut Butter Pie. You can order a whole pie and I sometimes order one to have with our Thanksgiving meal. read more

Visited on a Saturday morning and after a quick wait, we had the most delicious breakfast. I can vouch for the pecan pancakes with butter syrup. We made sure to visit again the next day before we left town. My order was slightly wrong but our waitress was quick to get it taken care of. I highly recommend giving this place a try when you're in New Bern. * I would recommend moving the host stand closer to the front door. Wait staff and customers gathering around the stairs is an accident waiting to happen. read more

Great food, service in the heart of downtown. I highly recommend the Farmer's Wife & French toast with their homemade apple butter syrup

Ambiance great, service great I Used to love breakfast here. It was good, quality food. It would seem that food quality has been sacrificed to keep prices low. The effort is appreciated but a poor choice (if true). Sausage tasted more like black bean and sawdust, Dutch potatoes used a lousy canned cheese, bread was substandard on French toast. Serve smaller quantities or raise prices, or both. Never sacrifice quality read more

This is a wonderful, cute little bakery/kitchen for brunch. My wife and I went when we were in town for the holidays. Their muffin variety is large and delicious. They also have fruit cups and gluten-free options as well. The service is also fast, but if you don't RSVP, you may not get a seat. Overall, I recommend. read more

My wife and I came here for breakfast while in town for a wedding. We used the yelp waitlist app to get checked in. In total, the wait was about 20 minutes and during that time we walked around town. For food I ordered the chicken and waffles. It came with their signature maple butter syrup. The food was very good! Why this is a 5 star for me is that the meal was very tasty, the chicken to waffle ratio was perfect, the uniqueness of the syrup was new and worked really well, and the quantity was very filling for the price. Would highly recommend this place. It was very busy inside but the staff was extremely effecient. read more

FRENCH TOAST or BUST-- This place is known for their BUTTER SYRUP and this is like a liquid cavity. It was fantastic. Our server, Tina, made me feel like we were long lost pals who had finally reunited after all the hard times. read more

In town visiting my mom. Was a great place to eat.. fast seating and service. great food !!

The service was amazing was seated right away the food was excellent and the wait to for the food to come out was minimum.

Words can't explain how good the food is here. Everything was cooked well and you definitely get your moneys worth. The hot chocolate was also very good. The only complaint from my group was the sweet tea was a little to sweet for there liking, other then that 10/10 will be going back. read more

Love this southern style breakfast/lunch place. I've been here a few times now, this being first post Covid, they have changed up things inside seating wise and their front area seems like a whole lot of wasted space but there's probably a reason for that! Front area meaning, hostess area, and baked goods to go. We got seated straight away , I was amazed how busy this place was on a Tuesday morning. Didn't take me long to realize why! They have a great menu, all your basic breakfast items, and some lunch mainstays . They are open from 7am to 2pm everyday, with breakfast being their thing so served all day. Great service , friendly, always checking in on us. They really do have a great menu, the three of us all got some for, of what we like for breakfast, I got egg whites, wheat toast and home fries, I would have loved to just add a cinnamon roll as theirs look to die for with their signature butter sauce glaze. The size of them would blow your mind. Maybe next time, when my other two friends are not on weight watchers! My food was great, just what I needed carby and the eggs were perfectly dry like I asked. I love their bread, which they bake in house, and you can buy a loaf to go. The home fries were seasoned and crunchy and not oily like some I've eaten. One of my friends got the veggie omelette with wheat toast, she said Omelette was good wih just enough cheese and veggies, she loved the toast too. Also on the table the turkey sausage was a hit, and the grits, not my thing but she loved them. Great coffee here too with their lovely red mugs which I also want but do I really need another mug! I got a lemon bar to go from their baked goods section, big slab of goodness. Nice light base and sweet tart filling. Delicious. Definitely must get item. I see why it's always busy here, all the plates of food I saw looked amazing, chicken and waffles looked just ridiculously like a huge plate umm yes I want that! Will be back here for sure when I'm in town. Love the local feel here and great people watching! Very clean and also on a side note, the bathrooms have a no touch flush! Why do all places not have this feature!! Genius. I'm easily impressed! read more

We tried Baker's Kitchen on a Friday morning in October. My meal was a resounding..."OK" at best. I tried the biscuits and gravy and was rewarded with 2 biscuits that were dry, tough, and chewy; it would not be surprisingly to learn they were the previous day's leftovers. The gravy was just OK too and really lacked much flavor. I've had better versions of this dish at Bojangles. I ordered a side of the dutch potatoes and found them fantastic. They were the highlight of my meal. Service was friendly and efficient. Our server seemed to handle the entire second floor of the restaurant by herself. That was impressive. Speaking of the second floor, it was so cold it was difficult to concentrate on anything else. I'm not sure if the air conditioner was turned down too low or it was very cold from the age of the structure. read more

We put our name on the waitlist while getting our nails done for a wedding we had later that day. Once we got there we waited for maybe two minutes and then they sat us. Our waitress was so sweet! Get the mixed cran orange mimosa. So good. And don't skip the cheddar biscuit! There's cheddar on top and inside. Also, the locals swear by the Dutch potatoes. Basically cheesy potato casserole. Definitely stop by here if you are in New Bern! read more

We finally decided to have brunch at this highly esteemed place and it did NOT disappoint. My husband had The Hungry Farmers breakfast. Which was absolutely delicious. Portions were generous and everything was incredibly fresh. The sausage was NOT greasy and neither was the Country Fried Steak. Which is remarkable. I had the chicken fried steak with gravy and Dutch potatoes.. The service was excellent ( Amy was our server) as she checked on us frquently. If you are looking for. Highly satisfying breakfast experience, we recommend The Baker's Kitchen. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants to eat at for breakfast but I don't understand why the waitlist has to be closed down when people drive 20-30 minutes to get there read more

Terrible wait, the queue system is wild as you basically make a reservation and then leave to come back at some point which is not communicated by the wait staff. As a party of two, it seemed that bigger parties always took precedent over your place in line. Having the yelp queue available showed 4 parties of 2 ahead of us, and then several party sizes after us...and still multiple parties were sat before any of the 2 persons. We watched them seat an elderly lady with a prosthetic leg upstairs...food is good, but that has never been the problem. Just go to Yoders in Grifton, at least that location is organized. read more

Our large family stopped in on a recent Saturday morning to this well-known breakfast\lunch place in historic New Bern. Atmosphere is quaint with street level and upstairs dining. Upstairs you can really see the exposed brick and historic architecture. Staff is very friendly and attentive, even when crowded. They sell pastries and cookies to go with plenty of other trademarked products from coffee mugs to their famous bottled butter syrup. The menu has all the usual breakfast items you'd find in the South. Besides the pancakes, eggs, and french toast, there are grits, home made biscuits, sausage gravy, and chicken & waffles. One item you must try is their special Baker's Dutch potatoes which is has potatoes, onions, and a creamy cheese sauce like you would find on Mac & Cheese. It was so good. Prices are fair too! I gave it 3 Stars because other than the Dutch potatoes and the home made biscuits, everything was just common, plain breakfast food. I've seen a lot more choices and creativity in any NJ diner I've been to. With this great location, what with the year round tourists, I think they should add a few more creative items to the menu. Shake it up a bit. I mean great staff, great place, BUT it ALWAYS depends on the food that puts you on the map. I think the owners may just be complacent on the fact that there really is nowhere else to go in the area for a decent breakfast with a nice atmosphere. Regardless, I highly recommend the place. read more

On a wonderful trip to New Bern the most disappointing thing was Sunday breakfast at Baker's Kitchen. My wife and I waited 35 minutes to be seated at a small bright table. Very clean. Our server came over quickly and brought us coffee which was good. Downhill from here. Our breakfast was delivered cold, both orders! I hate cold food. 2nd time up it was much warmer but not hot. OK we ate. The food was bland. The Dutch Potatoes were nothing more than cheesy hash browns, the butter syrup is butter with sugar. Too sweet. The sausage patties made me quite sick having to make it back to our air b&b double time. I'm so sorry we ever ate there and will never, ever do so again. read more

Oh my goodness, Baker's Kitchen is not a fancy restaurant by any means, but they are absolute perfection at what they do - breakfast food and pastries! Plus, the staff is amazingly friendly and helpful, and they make every patron feel like a regular! When we came in for breakfast today, we were wowed by the quality of the food (I had a basic breakfast plate with eggs and bacon, and my husband had a meat omelette), but were really blown away by the pastries! The blueberry muffin was served warm, and was packed with flavor! I had a sweet potato biscuit at the suggestion of our server, and paired with the apple butter, it was like a sweet potato cinnamon roll! Oh my! We lived the restaurant so much that we ordered a bunch of pastries to go. Can't wait to return! read more

We were at Bakers Restaurant on May 14,2025 for lunch we both ordered the meatloaf it was terrible and cold, my girlfriend had squash and collards, I had string beans and sweet potato fries, of all the items that we had her collards were good and my sweet potato fries were good, the meatloaf wasn't even warm and the bbq sauce was bad, I was burping for hours afterwards, we will Never go back there again ! Our waitress was very good and very attentive. We were there about 1 1/2 years ago and (at that time Bakers was great) maybe someone else bought this restaurant because it wasn't good at all. read more

Good food and great service. I had taken a client there who was new to Bakers and he enjoyed himself as well.

Solid breakfast! We both ordered the ultimate biscuits and gravy. Includes two eggs and choice of meat. Excellent service!!
