When I walked inside on a drizzle Sunday morning, I didn't realize how big this place is! It goes all the way back! And they serve everything from coffee, bagel, smoothies, breakfast burritos, sandwiches and everything!!! I ordered their chicken breakfast burritos and their peanut butter mocha. They were yummy!!! They have plenty of tables for dinning inside, even by the windows. I will definitely be back when I m in town next time!! Highly recommended.

Older employees that work the counter are friendly and efficient, but a few of the others are your stereotypical 20 something, apathetic, with the vacant Gen Z stare, and a complete lack of social skills. The combo of 20-30 year old grumpy, apathetic employees is unfortunately very predictable. I don't understand why businesses hire people that are customer facing that have crappy attitudes and hate their job....why not hire happy outgoing people to begin with?

Food, service, and ambience are spot on for a casual vibe with tasty menu selections. Plenty of…read moreoutdoor patio space and enough seats inside to accommodate this popular neighborhood location. Maybe a strange item to rate, however, you need to know they have the BEST to-go coffee cups you've ever come across.

What a tasty stop in downtown Auburn!…read more Looking for a bite for lunch, we stumbled into Baked and Brewed and ordered a sandwich and a smoothie. The gentleman who took our order was nice and very patient given we had no idea what to order. The chicken pesto sandwich was filled with seasoned chicken on some very tasty multigrain bread. The pesto was super fresh! The smoothie was perfect for the kids to split. It was even topped with whipped cream and sprinkles. Every toddler's dream! This place was constantly busy while we were there but there are plenty of tables inside or outside. If you need a quick lunch stop, whether passing through or a local, Baked and Brewed is your spot!

Food (breakfast burritos and breakfast sandwiches) were borderline disgusting-especially the sandwiches. I guess that is what you get when you order premade food. The coffee shop was freezing (8 am).

The gentleman, Ken, who runs the shop with his son, was super friendly and accommodating to my special requests. My husband ordered the breakfast sandwich...it was super tasty with onions caramelized to perfection. We both ordered a turkey sandwich to go...the bread was so fresh and delicious and made with quality ingredients and I might add that they were not stingy with the amount of avocado they loaded on the sandwich! We also bought a loaf of Meyer lemon Rosemary sourdough to go, which I highly recommended. You can tell by the great customer service and goods baked to perfection, that this bakery takes a lot of pride in the work they do! I will definitely be back to try more!

Both meals were hearty, well composed, belly filling without the bloat and grease you'd suffer from a lesser meal at a fast food joint. Server was happy and helpful. There were outdoor tables available. Good thing as the 3 Labradors were with us. I'm not a vegetarian. I eat animals almost everyday. This meal did not leave me yearning for some oink-oink, moo-moo nor cluck-cluck. Delicious in its own right. Recommended!

I stopped by Nectar Café while visiting Auburn and it quickly stood out as a welcoming spot for…read morefresh, plant-based food in the area.

What can I say??…read more Excellent, high-quality food served in a very comfy, cozy atmosphere. We loved our big booth with cushions. The coffee was perfect. Like all the best coffee places, they had heavy whipping cream available behind the counter. Very clean restroom, large portions, prices in line with similar places, very friendly and accommodating staff. I'm not much for avocado toast but my wife LOVED hers, which looked spectacular. She could only finish half, after the unbeatable chocolate croissant . For my part, I had a great breakfast burrito with pulled pork, and a blueberry-lemon scone to start. Wish I had pastry pictures, but they were gone shortly after we sat down. Had the scone warmed up which was perfection. So comfortable inside we didn't want to leave. We may have to move in!!
