Upon entering, we saw a variety of mouth watering options. My wife ordered a peanut butter crinkle cookie ($3.00), a vanilla bean scone ($4.75) and I chose a guava caisson ($4.95). We ordered our pastries to go and the woman behind the counter placed all three pastries in a box. The peanut butter crinkle cookie never made it out of the parking lot as my wife devoured it...I may have had a small piece to taste it. Not a fan of peanut butter but that cookie was legit. We brought the scone and chausson home to savor with some hot tea. My wife liked her scone but when we unearthed the chausson, it was flattened by the heavy scone placed on top of it by the lady who boxed it up. Instead of airy, flaky goodness, the chausson was disappointingly chewy and hard! Did I say disappointing?

We got to Baker Baker around 8:10am on A Saturday and they were already sold out of most things,…read morewhich honestly just shows how loved they are. The lady at the front was so kind and welcoming, even though it was clear they'd had a rush (it was Easter weekend, so totally understandable that people came early and stocked up!). Everything is super reasonably priced,all items are $3, and you can get a half dozen for just $12. That's wild for the quality you're getting! They have an amazing variety: danishes, cookies, pound cakes, and more. We ended up with a vanilla glazed cinnamon bun, lemon pound cake, cinnamon danish crunch, almond cloud cookie, karma cookie, and a pecan pie bar to split with one of my close friends, and every single bite was absolutely delicious. I wish I had known there was a line forming right at 7am. I would've rolled out of bed sooner. Thankfully, they told us you can call ahead and reserve, which we might just do next time because I'm already thinking about going back. I highly recommend the danishes & vanilla cinnamon glaze glazed bun and the pecan pie bar! This place is one of those spots you'll want to visit again and again, just get there early or call ahead to snag the goods!

I came here for the first time this past Tuesday morning and enjoyed it! BakerBaker is located in…read morethe 4th Ave Food Park. The bakery is small and is a to-go type of shop. They are open 7am to sell out Tuesday through Saturday. I arrived just before 8am and was surprised that they already were selling out of items! They offer a nice variety of pastries and treats including danishes, croissants, scones, cookies, brownies, and more specialty items. The selection included a mix of both sweet and savory items as wells. The sizes of the pastries were perfect, the price was a little high--but still reasonable. The service was quick, but I thought it could have been slightly more pleasant. The worker just didn't really seem too happy to be there on this particular morning and was very blunt with me. I asked her for her opinion and what items to get and she really didn't provide much help. But other than that, this was a good experience. I ended up getting three items including a Nutella danish, a cheddar-chive scone, and a piece of their pecan bread pudding. All of these items were delicious and I thoroughly enjoyed each one! The pecan bread pudding was great, it wasn't too sweet and the texture was perfect. I just wish it was warm as it was given to me cold. Next time I get this I might need to heat it up in the microwave at home. It didn't include too many pecans, but the cinnamon flavors were great, I would recommend this. The Nutella danish was more reminiscent of a croissant with Nutella on top. This was still good as the dough was quite buttery & flaky--just as it should be. There was the perfect amount of Nutella and I thought it was nicely balanced. The cheddar-chive scone was by far my favorite! The scone was dense, buttery, and had great texture & layers. The cheddar was subtle, but still very much present. I was very impressed with the scone and would highly recommend ordering one. It was easily one of the best scones I've eaten and shouldn't be missed! Overall, I am glad I finally made it out to BakerBaker and can easily say it won't be my last visit. The selection of pastries is awesome and you can easily get something different every time you go. Their menu appears to change daily/weekly too. Each pastry is priced at $4. I will say some pastries vary in size, making this price less justifiable. For instance, one of the other bread pudding varieties was about half the size of the one I ordered and priced the same. All the pastries I tried were delectable and I was satisfied. As I stated above, I thought the service, particularly the women ringing me up, could have been more pleasant. I would say this is a solid bakery for Gainesville, with the scones being the standout. This is certainly no French bakery, but it will definitely satisfy and sweet cravings you might have!

I needed a cheesecake for a friend's birthday and they were the cheapest option for those that still had availability. I ordered for pickup and when i got there around lunch time on a Friday, there were a few people inside. It was at that moment I realized there was a deli inside. While this place is like down the street from where I live, I had never actually been inside. Since it was busy, there was a tiny wait but nothing crazy. I told the woman what I needed and she quickly packaged up the cake. The taste was great! Now I will say I'm not used to Italian cheesecake, meaning I'm not used to there not being a crust but that's okay. I enjoyed it but more importantly the birthday girl was satisfied and that's all that matters. I do plan to go back to try other desserts and the deli .

My wife and I were in town for a long weekend of Gator sports. As we packed up our things Sunday…read moreearly afternoon we wanted to grab something quick before we headed home. We went to Vietnam a couple years ago and now anytime she has a chance to get Banh Mi she does. We'd been here before but I think they recently added the Korean sticks to the menu. I always get a #1 without cilantro or mayo. They haven't messed it up yet. Pate is not really an American thing but it's a good combination. There's a dark sauce they put on the sandwich too which is really good. There's are freshly sliced jalapeños so take note if you don't like spicy. They are very thinly sliced so it's not overwhelming but there's a little kick. My wife got a sandwich but also tried one of the Korean sticks. She got the stick without a hotdog. It was basically a block of cheese coated in diced potatoes, kind of like frozen breakfast potatoes you can get at the grocery store. They deep fry it so the cheese is completely melted. I think she's glad she tried it, but I don't think she was impressed. We'll just stick to Banh Mi next time.
