The corned beef with cabbage sandwich was pretty good. The strawberry dessert muffin (or whatever it was called ) was a masterpiece of a dessert. The strawberry icing actually tasted like strawberries in the most amazing way possible. My only real criticism : The line system was a bit confusing and it seemed like online orders were priority over people that were actually there. At least that's how it appeared. Other than that WE WILL BE BACK! read more

Yumminess overload! Tips to know: order online for pickup so you get exactly what you want or get there early before they sell out! The place was crowded when we got there around lunchtime. There is comfy seating which I was not sure of initially so that's a plus! They have an array of pastries as well as several types of sandwiches. Everything is at the checkout counter to view before ordering. The staff is friendly and helpful. We ordered a gluten free chocolate chip cookie and a strawberry glazed chocolate filled cruffin.. part muffin part croissant.. so delightful!! I'm craving another just writing this! The cookie was super yummy as well with chunks of chocolate! We will definitely be returning to this location! read more

Let's just say ANYTHING on this menu is worth trying. This is the taste of delicious home baking that will not disappoint! We had breakfast at the restaurant and ordered lunch to go. We had the Chopped Italian Sub and a their delicious Brown Butter Chocolate Chunk Pecan Oat Cookie for our picnic lunch. They have an efficient system in meeting the expectations of their many customers. You can pre-order on line or choose to stand in line to order. The waiting time was not long. The food was fresh and warm. The ambiance is very homey, with old rustic, country flair that is warm and inviting. We will make this one of our top breakfast spots when we are in this area. read more

Born & Bread Bakehouse - Cinnamon roll, Benton's Bacon Breakfast Sandwich, hot coffee - Bakeries Near Me - Lakeland, Florida

Drove here with my daughter because we love the freshly baked goodies. Delicious bread. My daughter also loves the granola! Highly recommend ordering online for pickup as it will substantially reduce your wait time. The line gets long and after you order you then have to wait for the order to be packed. It's really crowded ave parking can be issues too. They do have seating available but given the crowd and noise level I choose to not dine in. Staff is always friendly. read more

From pricing, to ambiance, to taste, this place has to down! By far the best bakery from scratch in Lakeland. Worth the wait and they have a pretty good ordering system. Flavor cannot be beat. Service is solid for keeping the line moving and still treating customers well. I will there was more seating, but it is not their fault for being too busy. Love this local staple and the way they embrace being made in the USA read more

Always delicious, we went early to pick up our order and my husband ended up buying an apple pie while we were waiting. Since we were so early the line wasn't terribly long, but even with being there at 7:06 and preordering online before going, it still took 15 minutes to get our order. If you wait till after 8am, it takes even longer to get your stuff, so make sure you go early! The pastries are delicious, and my nephew and I love to eat the four cheese sourdough. I bought 2 loaves since we eat them over the week while we are down here. We always make sure to go whenever we come since we live in TN and we don't have one up there. The store is clean and dimly lit, but everyone is nice and the food is delicious. read more

Born & Bread Bakehouse is the place I measure up every other bakery in Lakeland and the surrounding area. NO ONE has Cinnamon rolls that can compare. Their cruffins are flaky outside and the perfect amount of filling wrapped in the layers but the icing drizzled over the top makes them an experience. Their sourdough bread loaves are so good it is hard to not eat an entire loaf in one day! Their store itself is adorably eclectic yet rustic. You can dine in but getting a seat will be a major challange because they are so busy! You are best to order ahead since the line stretches down the block to get in on a normal day. Holiday pick up is insane! But the wait is worth it. But, check their hours as they are only open a few days a week. If you really need a B&B fix, you can find a limited selection of their offerings at Publix in Lakeland (Miriam Square I believe). It wont be quite as fresh, but when it tastes so good, will you really notice? LOL read more

I love me some Born and Bread. I've been coming here for years, before they were ever open multiple days a week! Friends and I would drive all the way from Tampa just to get some of their goodies - worth it!! The ordering system is a bit more complicated now, but it's easier to get what you want because they're open more days a week. I still highly recommend doing an online order for pickup though. Every single baked goods and sandwich that I've had is incredible. I cannot emphasize enough that they knock it out of the park, always, every time, never had a miss. Their coffee is nothing to write home about, but that's not why you go (go to concord coffee after grabbing your goods for an elite combo). Make sure that you get enough for a few days, because you're gonna be bummed when it's all gone! read more

The place was packed on a Friday morning at 11 o'clock... I guess that should've been an indicator I like the community seating so you can chat with people around you... The food was outstanding both items that we got were delicious and timely read more

Born & Bread Bakehouse - Coffee - Horchata Cold Brew - Bakeries Near Me - Lakeland, Florida

This bakery has some amazing food. We've only been a couple times and it's usually pretty busy, today was actually a pretty chill day since the line only had one group of customers in front of us. I ordered the peanut butter cold brew and it tasted strong of peanut butter. I love it. I also ordered the almond croissant which is just fantastic, I've gotten it every time. I forgot to take pictures of the other stuff we got but it was also delicious. The sausage biscuit, baklava cheesecake bostock, and the hot cocoa cruffin. The almond croissant is my favorite, along side the cinnamon roll they have. Only issue is it took 30 minutes to get our items, which it feels like shouldn't take more than 5 minutes for any order when all the pastries are already done and directly behind the cashier. Should just be able to pluck them off the racks and hand them to you. 30 minutes was a bit over the top. Otherwise it would be 5stars. read more

As much as I would love to give this a 5 star review, the process alone of ordering didn't want me coming back. It's extremely popular and I get why. The food is great. However, the process to get it alone was difficult and there's better places in Lakeland that are more convenient. However, I do suggest trying it at least once! read more

Sooooo, I've been wanting to go to this bakery for ages now but never make it in time...until now... Wow!!!! I'm at a loss of words. I'm secretly eating my chocolate chip cookie I got to-go for when my kids went to bed. I'm pretty sure all moms are nodding their heads now...been there, done that! This cookie was phenomenal! So chewy on the inside and crunchy on the edges. This was $4 well spent! As for the other food we ordered (croissant, biscuit egg broccolini sandwich, granola, hot dog deliciousness), it was excellent too! I couldn't take pictures of the other food because...well...I had hangry children, so you will just have to take my word for it. Everything was amazing! The line was long, but it went fast. We were too late for the sold-out cruffins, but we will most definitely be coming back! P.S. If you have toddlers/younger kids and need a place to burn off the carbo load, head to Common Ground Park. It's a great park and a perfect place to let the kids run around before your commute back home! read more

Born & Bread Bakehouse - Chocolate chip cookie at home...yuuuummmmm - Bakeries Near Me - Lakeland, Florida

Quite possibly the best gluten free cookie I've ever had My husband had a breakfast sandwich that he said was 11/10. I appreciate that they have a gluten free cookie, but sadly, we had to go somewhere else because there wasn't much I could eat for breakfast. They have gluten free granola as a take home option, but don't have yogurt, etc to eat it there. All of the pastries are beautiful. The environment is hip and comfortable. The staff are super friendly and fun. I think they are totally rocking it as a bakery and I would absolutely return for a sweet treat. read more

I wandered past here when I was on a walk. I was hit by the wonderful smells when I opened the door. I was one of the 1st customers, but the business quickly picked up from there. Everything looked tasty! It is great getting to see the food displayed with the product name. I can tell if I want it or not by seeing it. I ordered the broccolini biscuit. I am a sucker for biscuits, and eggs and veggies are always a winning combo. This biscuit did not disappoint. The service was great and sealed with a compliment about my smile:) I would love to try some of the pastries as well. Maybe when I visit the area again I can add this to the agenda. read more

Born & Bread Bakehouse - Bakeries Near Me - Lakeland, Florida

I saw this place online and decided I needed to make the drive from Orlando to try it out! A friend and I came on a Thursday to avoid the weekend crazy and got there around 11:30. I was worried about parking and seating but we lucked out with both. When we got inside there was only had one other person in front of us. The line did grow to the door while we were there but they move through it quickly and everyone seemed to be able to sit that wanted to. There is additional seating outside as well as ample parking in the rear. For sandwiches we tried the Turkey Swiss and the chicken salad. Both were delicious and of ample size. My only complaint is they didn't cut the sandwiches in half which is an issue when you want to share or even eat it yourself as it is a large sandwich! The turkey also had a herb mayo on it that was very garden fresh. I wasn't sure I liked it but it grew on me. We also tried the peanut butter ice coffee and the Vietnamese iced coffee. Both were very good and the PB one wasn't as strange as I thought it would be. However the Vietnamese one was the true stand out. We got cruffins (Vietnamese coffee and Boston cream) as well as cookies to go. The Boston cream one was good and flaky but the cream had an odd taste to it that I can't place. The cookies were very cake like (puffy) but had good flavor. Would I drive over an hour to go again? I'm honestly not sure but if I was in the area I would absolutely stop again. read more

Every time we go here it's always a hit! If you go on a weekend, be sure to preorder the night before so you can go straight to the pickup line. Wednesdays aren't bad at all and you'll wait in line maybe 5-10 minutes tops. The vegan peanut butter coffee is the BEST! Also highly recommend the cinnamon roll, breakfast sandwiches, and pretty much every single bakery item they offer. The decor is adorable and I love that they have indoor and outdoor seating. Highly recommend! read more

I stopped by here on the way back from Tampa and wow this place did not disappoint. It's been a couple of weeks and I still think about born and bread occasionally lol! I absolutely loved their banana bread muffin and it was vegan; it was so fluffy and moist and filled with cream on the inside which was delicious and just complimented the muffin so well! I also ordered the sausage + hot honey breakfast biscuit, which was also pretty good; my only complaint was that it was a bit on the oily side and more sweet and less hot than I imagined. I paired this with the peanut butter latte, which for someone who loves peanut butter, I did not like it at all! I've never had a PB latte, but I also don't think I did well in pairing it with other sweet items. Overall, the staff here is so kind. The wait for our food was a bit long but this place gets some good foot traffic. I love the southern rustic aesthetic it has. All the pastries are out for display which makes it tempting to not want to get everything, but everything looks so fresh and delicious. Will definitely make my way back to this cute and yummy place whenever I'm close by! read more

In Lakeland, about an hour from Tampa or Orlando, this place gets rave reviews: - Open Wednesday to Saturday, 7 am to 2 pm (till 1 pm Saturdays). - Plan for about a 20-minute wait in line, but you can order online. - Menu changes daily, with seasonal goodies. They sell out fast, so order a day ahead--I missed their strawberry croissant at 11 am. - Must-tries are their croissant and cruffin. The glazed croissant was sooo good. The cruffin was crispy outside and soft inside. - Tried the Morning Vietnam cold brew, not too sweet. - Lots of parking in the rear - On Saturdays, a quick 5-minute drive takes you to Lakeland Downtown Farmers Curb Market, 8 am to 2 pm. Lots of parking, handmade stuff, fresh produce, deli treats. Cool shops like Scout & Tag. read more

Don't bother pre ordering, preordered the day before and still waited almost an hour for my food. I even got a text that my food was ready. People that ordered in person day of got their food before I did. read more

Man, this place makes me want to move to Lakeland just to have this place more accessible. The idea that they're so good they only have to be open on Wed and Sat for half days is giving main character vibes. Let me tell you, it is well deserved, I will gladly wait here for 45 min and say thank you for the opportunity lol. The menu is seasonal but I got the Cuban Frita $5.75, Dark chocolate sea salt cronut $4.75 and the Olive loaf $7. If they're on the menu, don't hesitate, run. But honestly you could do no wrong with anything you pick :) read more

Born and Bread is incredible!! It's only open Wednesdays and Saturdays. We've visited twice once back in 2020..ish and again recently. When we first visited they were only doing online orders, which went very smoothly. Last Saturday, we just decided to stop in this time, and did wait a good hour. Pro top, you can pre-order the day before and skip the line. They rotate new items and they had a lot of fall stuff but I was unfortunately too late, all sold out by the time I ordered. :( We ordered the olive loaf, $7. I feel like it's an absolute must if you like olives and sour dough! For sweets, we got the bourbon banana chocolate croissant (my favorite, I had to order it a second time and I typically don't like to order the same thing), the salted sea salt cruffin and the Cuban Frito. Yes, you NEED to visit Born and Bread if you haven't already! It's a nice day trip and there are plenty of fun parks or things to explore in Lakeland! read more

Truly amazing baked goods and the glazed croissants are definitely food crack! The restaurant itself is small but decorated artistically and has a great vibe. Be prepared to wait in line if you go on Saturday morning as we did, so bring your patience. The food was worth the wait however and we will be going back to try their lunch offerings! read more

Let me give y'all forehead kisses. Improvements were MADE. They now bag things separately! My hot biscuit sandwich was HOT like warm and fresh. I didn't get a cruffin but best believe the a lemon poppy twist and raspberry danish. Flavor town USA. I'm excited to start coming back for seasonal cruffins! As always the staff were killing it. But never had problems with them. read more

Loved it here! Coffee was great and pastries delicious. Coffee shop was beautifully decorated. Stopped here on the way to Orlando.

This is beyond perfection! Everything was divine, every pastry is made with so much love, so much flavor. Nothing was overly sweet but everything hits the spot. We got a few breakfast sandwiches and a few pastries. You can't go wrong with what you pick, I know they have seasonal pastries so make sure to get what you like because it might not be on the menu the next time around. The service was great, easy to place an order. We went during the week to avoid all the long lines and wait. There's allot of table indoors and out doors, you should do yourself a favor and try everything at this establishment. I cannot wait to return. read more

This bakery is awesome! Every item is better than the next! This is a MUST if you are in Lakeland!!!!

Now, that's a good pastry! I finally made the drive to here after hearing about this bakery opening up in Lakeland. I tried two different pastries -- both with different flavors that were so delicious. I had the double chocolate raspberry croissant and bahama mama cruffin. One was chocolately and the other very tropical! I would definitely come down here again as I love how they rotate different pastries through their menu. The loaves of bread -- by the way -- are massive here! I highly recommend pre-ordering from their website as the lines can sometimes be long and the items can run out. The bakery itself is very nice and clean, and has a good amount of indoor seating. read more

good food and ambiance, although service took too long. I ordered online but the food was not ready when I arrived, taking 30 minutes after I placed my order to finally receive my food (the order receipt said it would only take 15 minutes). It was only two pieces of food and the store wasn't busy. Just keep in mind it might take a while. read more

Before coming to Lakeland I researched the best places to eat. yelp and TikTok truly hit the nail on the head with this one!!!! EVERYTHING about this bakery was phenomenal! Parking was easily accessible. I preordered based upon recommendations off line. We ordered enough pastries for the weekend. Everything was amazing. We got coffee and I chose the peanut butter coffee, which was absolutely delicious but different pastries were absolutely delicious. Guava and cheese wants the perfect ratio of cheese and guava. I think my favorite was the hot honey pepperoni and a tropical pastry that had coconut pineapple and passionfruit flavors. Hands-down, I will totally come back over and over again and the locals are so right the best pastry shop I've ever been to. read more

I came here it's my son my daughter my sister and her son as well. We preordered our food and it was great. We ordered a few muffins. A couple of sweet pastries and I ordered three savory pastries for me and my kids. They tried the ham and cheese croissants and I had a kale and squash type of pastry. The only thing I wished that was different was that they would have heated our croissants and the savory pastries. Other than that I feel like the taste was great. The crunch on the croissants and the bread was amazing. And the vibes were on point. read more

Speechless is what I am. I have never in my life tasted pie that was so good. Our family ordered a pumpkin pie from here on Thanksgiving and we were beyond impressed. We had to go back and get more! Decided to also try the key lime pie which was also delicious. This pumpkin pie here is officially my favorite dessert and I'm shocked to say this because I've have not been huge on pies before. The service and ambiance here were also lovely. It feels like you're in a nice cozy place that's so warm and inviting. read more

Considering going to Born & Bread? Good! It's decent! BUT... you should consider some things. First- if you REALLY want a good experience there, you should go online and pre order. Visit their website and figure out how to do that. I DID NOT- and my review is based on my walk-up walk-in experience. First of all- your map will probably get you to enter from the back. You will wonder, 'is this really the place?' Because it looks raggedy and run-down. You may wait in a line, like I did, only to fin, after 15 minutes, that line was for the pre order pick up's. But there would be no way for you to know that. We then waited in the REAL line inside the EXTREMELY cramped inside counter section. To our dismay, at 10:20 AM, there were only three or four items left to select. The racks full of the [more delicious] other options are for the WISE people that pre-ordered, not for you! (). We did order at the counter- and then we had too wait 45 minutes for our four pastries and two iced coffees. We literally watched them pick the items we ordered and put them on a tray- but we still had to wait 45 minutes to receive them. And the waiting happens in an environment that is shoulder to shoulder, like being on a crowded city bus. As we ordered, we were surprised to see the attendants do not use gloves or masks at all. Not even tongs. The girl hand picked up our items, and put them on a tray. Then she wiped her hands off on her hips. Yup. Yeah. That is not it for me. The pastries themselves finally arrived- and the pistachio raspberry croissant was okay- but it had become so dried out that it no longer tasted fresh - and it hadn't been warmed in the 45 minutes of waiting... so it was cold and almost stale. The Babka was good- but doughey- not flakey. The croissants were doughey, not flaky. The guava pastel was also doughey - not flakey. The quality of these pastries did not merit the extremely long wait, the dishevelment of the counter experience, the non-flushing gross toilet, the cramped quarters, etc. The pastries were DECENT - but did not live up to the five-star yelp hype, so i am giving two stars to balance out the help-scales while also being honest and accurate. read more

Very busy spot! If you're looking for fresh baked goods in the morning, this is the spot! Just make sure you are up early! The line was almost out the door. But, trust me, it was worth it! I had a glazed croissant and my son had a chocolate chip cookie. The cookie was huge! The croissant was to die for. I ordered an almond croissant to take home. I wish I had ordered more because the next day when I had it with coffee, I wanted another one! They are a local business! Please support! You will not regret it! read more
