If you worship at the Altar of Sourdough, I have found the Gates of Bread Heaven. I have sourdough across this Land from Florida to California and THIS is the best flavored sourdough I have ever had in my decades of eating. The crust has a chew to it that is firm but gives way soon enough after biting. What it gives way to is a crumb that is soft, textured and smells like a double dose of sourdough yeast. The starter is at least 25 years old and boy howdy, it really packs a punch. So much so, I asked an employee there if they sold starter. I would have bought some to use and grow at home. Enough about their star item ... let's go over the lunch I enjoyed there yesterday (15May26, got a free cookie on their birthday). I had their Crawfish Mac and Cheese in a bread bowl. The pasta was curly and cooked al-dente, as any pasta should be. The pieces of crawfish had a slight, very slight dusting of bread crumbs on them that added a nice texture to the forkful of pasta and creamy cheesiness that is a hallmark of mac n cheese. Needless to say, I managed to finish the contents of the bowl (the plug of bread removed is also served) and about half of the wonderful bread bowl before forcing myself to just stop. The remains were dutifully doggie bagged and brought with me as a snack to be enjoyed on the drive home. I will be in College Station many times over the next four years and when there, Blue Baker is definitely on my list of places to get great bread and a good lunch. There are three in Aggieland, so try them all if you are nearby. Ciao, Darrell read more

Bread bowls where the bread and soup is incredible, and served in spades. Although I am no longer a resident of C-Stat, I always make it to Blue Baker when I am in town. read more

I just tried this month's cookie, Patriotic Pecan. It was absolutely delicious. The spicy pecans along with the M&M's made an incredible bite. You even get a tad of finishing salt that amps up all the flavors. I hope you use those spicy pecans in another cookie! read more

I LOVE BLUE BAKER! Their pizzas are delish! Love the sandwiches and soups too. They also sell day old fresh baked bread! Food is reasonably priced! I will be back for sure. read more

Great memories of exceptional breakfast sandwiches and lunch treats. Back in town for a few days, we had to go there. Blue Baker still has it. Fresh bread, wonderful freshly cooked ingredients and a friendly staff. Prices are reasonable, selection is lengthy, seating is comfortable and the bread delicious Bread is freshly baked on site - no shortcuts. If you want a good bakery, look no further than the Blue Baker. read more

I really love their bread products. I have tried and enjoyed the soups, chicken salad and loaves of bread. Nothing has disappointed me. I only wish it wasn't a 2 hour round trip to CSTAT. read more

I love BB and frequent it often. Great for meetings, studying, and families. Prices have gone up significantly lately, I'm assuming due to inflation, but quality continues to be top notch. read more

Can you believe I've never been to one of these before. Lots of options. Gluten-free bread for sandwiches and a gluten-free cauliflower crust for pizzas. Well I didn't try either. I need these options for my family. All the staff was really helpful. I made a create your own - hot ham and Swiss on a croissant and had an apple bearclaw. This location does have a lot of indoor seating with great booths for intimate conversations. They have two patio areas. Lots of fans. Great lighting. And they also offer a drive up window for any online orders. read more

The food is good and fresh. I ordered an Earl and potato soup. I was disappointed at the amount of meat that was on my sandwich.

I love Blue Baker but the prices are getting crazy! My Bacon Egg and Cheese croissant was $10! One egg, one slice of bacon, & one slice of cheese! read more

I have been eating at blue baker for the past six years and I always recommend it to my friends for a healthier and tastier alternative. The food is delicious and is a great place to do work if you are a student. The Dominic drive location here in College Station often has poor service both inside and drive though. They will often charge you for your order then note they missed an item and make you pay again resulting in an additional charge to your card or if you order online for pickup they will not fill your order completely and charge you again. I will always opt to go to one of the other locations due to this reason. Update: I had ordered their "largest size" cup of soup to go along with my order in which I already charged twice once for my order and again for $2 of Turkey they didn't charge me for and believed I had been charged for a quart of soup to go but was only charged and given a bowl. I once again had to pay for this mistake to get my original order. THREE charges for one order. This is not the first time this has happened and will not be the last, I have seen other reviews of the same issue and witnessed someone having the same issue while eating today. read more

Blue Baker - BLT add Turkey on Sourdough Cup of potato soup add cheese and pepper on top - Sandwiches Near Me - College Station, Texas

I want to start off by saying the food was good, my grandparents and I enjoyed it. However, I was a bit put off by how the pizza was cut so awkwardly uneven and just shoved haphazardly into the box; so much so that a few slices were mushed/folded. Not only that, but we paid for extra sauce and when I saw the pizza all I could think was, "is the sauce in the room with us?" (Basically there was no sauce.) literally I am staring at this pizza as I type this and it just looks like you baked pizza dough with a mist of sauce. There was hardly any cheese too. I also was pretty upset to see that my Mac and cheese was burnt on the top. Like literally black...it flaked like ash when I poked it with my fork. I'm not sure how you can see that and decide, "yup! That's good enough to give to a paying customer!!" Also, when I ordered the mac and cheese I wanted the shredded cheese and crouton topping. When I was ordering online it automatically said no cheese no crouton, so I went back and changed it. Unfortunately, the order still submitted with no toppings. Now, this could be user error on my part so I am not mad about it. Again, the food was fine. I'm not too picky and scraping off the burnt parts and eating a folded piece of pizza is not the end of the world. It is, however, a bit off putting and hopefully not a common occurrence. I am more so upset that we paid money for extra stuff on the pizza but didn't get it. If it wasn't more money to get extra sauce then ya know so be it. But it's not fair that you charge for something, no matter how small an amount, and then don't put it on there. The food itself tasted good (with adjustments made on our end) but I do feel like it was ultimately a waste of money. This was my first experience with Blue Baker and probably my last since I am not a fan of wasting money. read more

We arrived around 9:30am and they were out of plain bagels, cinnamon twists, everything bagels, and apple bear claws. We ended up getting the avocado toast, cinnamon bagel, and coffee. The avocado toast had hair on it and the bagel had a hair baked in. Others in our group found hair in their food too. They replaced some of the food, but I wasn't willing to try again after two items with hair. The drip coffee was very weak and tasted more like tea. read more

We tried this place for lunch the other day. It wasn't an extraordinary pizza, but it was OK. It look like their forte might have been soups and sandwiches. Maybe next time. read more

ordered a cheese pizza and it was COLD. cheese had solidified and crust was floppy. ordered an iced coffee and received one with cream and sweetened vanilla (yuck) I was told that was their default. when I asked if I was charged more, they said no. caes salad was served with Italian dressing. read more

The coffee was not very good. Between the booths being in a cubicle like setting, the restaurant being dimly lit and the dark colors, I felt the environment was depressing. read more

Always fresh and tasty! Highly recommend the Blue Bird or the Club Bleu...both incredibly delicious. I crave their broccoli cheese soup even though it's a bit inconsistent (sometimes thick, sometimes super runny). Still tastes great all the time! The staff are super courteous and seem to really enjoy working there (or all deserve Academy Awards if not). You can't go wrong ordering any of their pastries or desserts and if you're shy a gallon of milk and don't want to run to the store just for one item, they'll deliver a gallon from their inventory with your order. Pretty great place! read more

We stopped at the University Blvd location Sunday evening on our way home and had the 4 meat pizza. Absolutely delicious!! Several staff members came by out table telling us they had free bakery items if we wanted to take some on our way out. The manager (Arnet) came by and visited with us. She loaded us up on bakery items. Since they don't use preservatives and bake everything fresh each day, they either give what is left at the end of the day away or throw it out. read more

I LOVE blue baker. It's like a Jason deli or McAllister but actually good, AND reasonably priced. They're also, get this, a real bakery. No idea what they do with all that bread, but they make it. I always used to study or work on my laptop there, get a coffee and a pastry, and spread out on the big booth tables. I wish I still lived in college station sometimes, and this is one of the reasons. read more

Food price and services were grea Excellent place great prices Wonderful pizza rolls

Blue Baker has come a long way in my mind over the years- i used to think it was overpriced for what you received but boy has that changed now being a parent with young kids. First off, the kids love this locetion because even though it's not huge, it has a little play area outside- not to mention blue baker has an amazing and cheap kids meal! it's so nice to have a business that's catering to kids and making eating out more affordable! their kids meal price even went DOWN recently which is practically unheard of. now we buy a kids meal for each kid because it's so much more affordable than other places. you can also get fruit with the kids meal which is a super good deal- there's an up charge for it but a great fruit cup and way cheaper than ordering it with a sandwich. I used to think blue baker items were semi- bland because there weren't many toppings but then i learned on their app that you can add as many veggies you want on your sandwich and salads for free!!! it's really spiced up my blue baker menu options! for pizza, it costs extra but not for sandwiches and salads. Blue baker also has a nice drink selection including unsweetened flavor tea which is my personal favorite!! service at blue baker is excellent! the inside is blue and white and can get cold at times so bring a jacket. my brother and sister in law weren't a fan of the inside ambiance but i have never minded it too much and usually we sit outside. overall, blue baker is a great local place to check out! read more

This business has gone downhill slowly over the years. I used to love it, now it's frustrating. We tried to order food tonight and they were out of half of the styles of bread. The bread they were out of was the bread needed for their advertised throwback sandwich. Dont advertise and then not be able to hold up to your end of the bargain. Then when we finally got our order, which was to go. They forgot to put the sandwich, which was supposedly the last of that style of bread that they had, into the bag. When we got home and realized that they shorted us a sandwich, they couldn't make that sandwich anymore because they were out of that bread, and they were also out of other bread to make a similar sandwich. When asked where our sandwich was, they must've given it to somebody else, or maybe a staff member ate it. Because they couldn't explain where our sandwich was. After driving all the way back, the consolation prize was a free cookie. There was no offer for a refund or anything else to compensate the drive or poor service or missing sandwich. The Manager explained that she and her team were doing the best they can. Their best is to provide poor customer service and fix it with a cookie. I would recommend you go to McAllister's, Jason's deli,or Newks. Find you a better business to deal with Food taste good, but was cold by the time I got back home and ate. read more

I think there're some health related protocols blue baker can improve during Covid. Don't get me wrong, I always enjoy sandwiches and bakery items they offer. Club bleu, caprese, and roasted veggies sandwiches are always good choices; zucchini bread is always amazing. I support this local business during covid, until I ordered in store today. When I was ordering, the cashier changed on a new gloves, then pressed the screen with gloves on, take my phone (to look at the yelp check-in offer) with the same gloves, take my credit card with same gloves, then using the SAME gloves to take the lemon tart DIRECTLY... I mean I don't care that much if there's no covid. But thinking about what might be on my phone, my credit card, and the screen. This can be easily fixed by using kitchen tongs, or having another person just handling food. I reheated my food at home. Gladly this is something can be heated again. I still like the food here, but I'll probably only considering purchasing those prepackaged or reheatable ones. read more

Blue Baker - Lemon tart - Sandwiches Near Me - College Station, Texas

So dependable. This place has sort of become my "comfort food" place (last time was the Dominick location but they're all great) over many years of visiting. Sandwiches have plenty of meat and store-baked breads, pizzas are always awesome. And this time I ordered on the website from the parking lot and my food was ready in minutes. Keep it up! Please!!!! read more

Had an awful experience today while celebrating my daughter's 30th birthday with my husband and elderly mother. The system for ordering and paying for items did not seem to be connected. The lady at the cashier did not appear to be confident in her skills and struggled with her communication to us in English. I ask to have a manager review my order and she assured me everything was correct. My husband and mother received their food fairly quickly as they ordered cold sandwiches. My daughter ordered a bowl of food and it arrived when my mother and husband were just about finished eating. My buzzer never went off so I went back to the cashier to double check that I had been charged for my 1/2 grilled cheese and tomato soup. I was indeed charged. I then found out that my order had not even been started and the rest of my party had now finished eating. I decided to just ask for a refund since my daughter needed to get back to work. Blue Baker has been a place that we like to meet our daughter for lunch as she works close by and this had been one of her favorite places for lunch. I am disappointed in the service today! read more

Have been coming to this location for many years. This last trip we visited twice. We were disappointed on both times by ordering and paid but after sitting down and waiting we were told they are out of our selection of food item and would we like to order something else. This is terrible planning and poor communication. After many many years this is not acceptable. I own and operate a good establishment and you simply cannot do this and remain viable. Once is forgivable and a minor problem. Twice on different occasions is a trend that left unchecked is a sign you are going to lose customers and revenue. read more

This place was a very pleasant surprise. The employees were very patient, friendly and helpful especially with my elderly parents. The food was fantastic. We enjoyed BLTs, caprese salad along with green chile soup and tomato basil soup. We had fun watching the pizza makers and bakery workers through the observation windows. I can't wait to go back and try something new. I highly recommend. read more

Blue Baker - Light, but delicious - Sandwiches Near Me - College Station, Texas

I love their food. In face i freque they place orders and come from Dallas, Tx to get chocolate croissants. Today I did that just. Placed my order at 6 am and drove down to watch my son fight at shiner Park. When the fights were over at 5:16 we packed up to get my pastries only to be told they sold them and had NOTHING to give me. read more

Wow! Fresh bread and more! Bagels, pastries and other sweet treats. They have a wonderful menu of sandwiches and soup in bread bowls. You order at a counter, then when you are "buzzed" you pick it up. They have tables inside, and in good weather there are tables outside. You can order online and pick it up in the drive through, I had a sandwich on a croissant and a small pizza. Sandwich was great. Pizza was eaten later, and unfortunately it was cold so wasn't exactly great. I would definitely recommend this for a sandwich or fresh baked goods! read more

This restaurant is one of the College Station eateries that I visit without fail if I'm in town. On my last visit, I had not been in many years and I was worried they might have gone the way of the Dodo, but I was pleasantly surprised to see they were still as busy as ever! I like the restaurant set-up that is designed for students to tuck themselves away into study corners and not feel hurried to leave. My go to is the "Powder Blue Sandwich" - turkey and provolone with spinach, tomatoes, roasted red peppers and mayonnaise on Parmesan cheese bread (yum!). And since I was an out of town visitor I had to grab a loaf of their in house baked bread and a sugar cookie to go. read more

Always a good spot to hit when in College station for soccer or basketball with the family and friends. Never a bad meal.

Their menu is a little different from typical soup/sandwich places. Offer more of a variety and loved their peach tea! Pizza must be good because so many were having it. Did not have to wait long for food or in line. Restaurant was clean and very quiet. read more

A/C nice and chilled on a hot summer day. Great food and friendly service. All the food was awesome but the chicken salad sandwich was a little shy of chicken salad on both sandwiches (room for improvement). All in all excellent dining experience. read more

One of the best places to eat in town. I prefer this location over the one on university because when you build your own salad, the server walks you through it at the bar so you don't have to tell them what you want all at once. I normally do a build your own side salad and a tomato basil soup. The Tomato Basil soup is phenomenal. If you want a good sandwich, I HIGHLY recommend the indigo or the roasted veggie. Both are delicious even though it probably won't fill you up so you may want something on the side too. Finally their kalmata olive bread is very tasty and their pumpkin bread is simply delicious. If you want to eat something a bit on the healthier side, I 100% recommend Blue Baker. Only bad thing about this location is that there aren't that many outlets and that's when you would go to the one on University. read more

Eh . . . The chicken salad on the Blue Bird was just shredded chicken and mayo. I guess the lettuce and tomato on the sandwich made it qualify for salad. The bread was very fresh and quite delicious. My wife's Pecan Apple Chicken Salad was reported as good except for the lack of apples. Probably a great place for the college kids, but nothing special. read more

One of my College Station favorites! I used to always order blue baker when I was too lazy to make lunch. I love their sandwiches, particularly the Tejas Blue and the Blue Bird. I also like the Apple Walnut Chicken salad, and they recently came out with a new ancient grains bowl that is delicious. Blue baker bread is SO as addicting too--my family can finish a whole loaf in one day! My favorites are the Challah and Blueberry Peach, but all of them are amazing! read more

Fresh & delicious. The online ordering is so convenient. Love the sandwiches, pizzas and cookies. It's all great! read more
