"Stopped by for lunch after a walk around downtown new Bedford and was so glad I did!!! The focaccia pizza was so good and the lavender lemonade was my favorite!!! Not pictured is their cinnamon bun with cream cheese icing. Loved the ambiance. The food was good, the prices were reasonable, and staff liked each other and got along well. Immediately makes you feel welcome! They know their regulars orders and their packaging and bakery case are on point. I'm starting school next week and I know where I'll be getting my coffee and sweet treats!!"

""I come here a-lot especially in the morning! The bagels, especially when they get the cream cheese just right, are the best I've ever tasted . I'd also recommend checking out their lunch menu there are some tasty options there as well. I really like that the food is great quality for a good price." The staff are also always welcoming and accommodating as well!"

"Whenever I’m even NEAR New Bedford, I make sure to stop by The Baker and bring home enough goods for my whole family. We love the linguica cheese rolls, almond croissants, and all the breads/bagels. You really can’t go wrong with any of their freshly baked goods. Staff are always friendly, helpful and kind."

"We visited on a Sunday in mid-June 2025 for breakfast before heading over to the New Bedford Whaling Museum. There was street parking available but we parked a few blocks away closer to the museum. This was father's day and the place so super busy. We arrived right before 9AM and the line was just outside the door. We waited over 15 mins to place our order and another 10 or so for our order to be prepared. They had so many staff behind the counter it was crazy but they were a well oiled machine. I don't know if this was more traffic than normal. There were already multiple items sold out before we got to place our order. We ordered: - Strawberry Crumb Danish Roll (my favorite) - Cannoli 4-pack chocolate & Pistachio (nothing special) - Canele de Bordeaux (very good) - Brown Butter Bourbon Sugar Cookie (very good) - Oatmeal Crack Pie (Wife's favorite) - Coconut Cream Pie Tarlet (good) - Taro Lavender Latte (everyone tried some and it was good) The atmosphere was great. Even though we were all waiting in line to order and to pickup our food, there was no angry faces or shouting or screaming. Everyone looked genuinely happy and making small talk. They had regulars in there who seem to know the customers and the staff. Very wholesome place. We didn't feel out of place being tourists. We would 100% come back again. The food was very good."

"Food was a 10 out of 10. Our sandwiches were so good and fresh. The croissants were fresh and home made. The real concern was “Is the allergy a life and death situation?” This is what we were asked by grill staff member after letting the staff know about an allergy. All while your serve safe certification hung from the wall. All allergies should be taken serious. Coffees spilled by staff and not remade. Almost $40 for 2 sandwiches, 2 coffees and a pastry is quite expensive. Would be back but don’t necessarily feel comfortable eating here again."
