    Donut holes appetizer
    Jeff S.

    We had a wonderful experience today while visiting with family. We were seated promptly, and our server, Amy, was an absolute pleasure. We tried a new appetizer--the fried donut holes--and they were delicious. If that wasn't enough sweetness, the hot buttered syrup definitely took it over the top! Even though the restaurant was very busy for a Wednesday, Amy did an excellent job managing the floor. She made sure we had everything we needed and kept our coffee and water refilled without us ever having to ask. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we'll definitely be back!

    Avocado toast

    I decided to return to Baker's Kitchen and must say this was a better experience. Baker's Kitchen is located inside a building built in 1911. Like a lot of older buildings, it was abandoned and then renovated for what you see today. They kept the 14-foot ceilings and left the brickwork exposed. My waitress this time was more experienced, so things went smoother. I decided to skip anything that would have the butter syrup and went with the avocado toast. I would have liked sourdough bread instead of wheat, but that wasn't an option, and it wasn't really toasted either. But the avocado was a good amount and tasty. I also had scrambled eggs and breakfast potatoes. They put the eggs on the toast, though, instead of on the side. This seems to be the popular place in town for breakfast.

    I can't say enough good things about this restaurant! When we told the server that we were from out of town and asked what butter syrup was, she brought us some samples and suggested we put it in our coffee. Delicious! We enjoyed our waffles and French toast with fresh fruit. The server also brought over a complimentary cinnamon roll in a bag to take home. Such a nice gesture! The restaurant is nice, much larger on the inside than it would appear from the outside. What a New Bern gem!

    From the hot coffee to the butter syrup, we thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast here. I had the Farmers Wife, which was great. My hubby had the chicken fried chicken. Our server highly recommended the chicken fried chicken and it was amazing. Amazing. Highly recommended!

    New Berns staple as far as breakfast goes. This place has served breakfast to everyone in the craven county. I love their new avocado toast. My go to is also the roll to remember. The staff has seen my son grow up he is 9 now and they have not changed. It's super family friendly place and you'll always run into someone you know.

    I have been wanting to try this place for years but my work schedule made it difficult. Finally my opportunity arrived and Bakers Kitchen quickly became a top contender in breakfast joints for me. The biscuits are the best I've ever had and the butter syrup can go on anything and make it delicious The staff was friendly and attentive; positively professional. The charming wood furnishings tie the whole vibe together. This place is great!

They're adjoined with the Tryon Palace visitor center right there in downtown New Bern, so likely they're convenient for you. They have a decent, slightly obstructed view of the water but you can walk about 50 feet and be right on it. There is a large private parking lot, so no worries on that either. In general, the sandwiches there are darn good, and the few sides we tried (dill potato salad, and their pasta salad) were excellent. My reuben on marbled rye was straight up delicious, and you order yours based on how much meat you want on it. They use Boar's Head meats here, which while I think sometimes that is overblown, you can count on that level of quality. The thing though is this, it's gonna be a pricey lunch. They are full service, so count on tipping. Their prices for sandwiches are higher than what I'm accustomed to, even with my standards adjusted for the current life of everything be expensive that we live in in 2026. Chalk that up to waterfront dining and high rent I would imagine. In any case, if the sandwich didn't live up to the price, I wouldn't give it a 5. Tasted great, service was excellent, overall a very enjoyable lunch. Would return!
