Baked Bakery & Cafe

We usually have a good experience here, they have good options for kids and we like their sandwiches. The peanut butter and jelly kids sandwiches are only $.99 and now they have a chicken option. The kids meals can also include a cup of fresh cut fruit which is a lot better than french fries or sliced apples from a bag. The chicken for them is good as they get a lot of protein but it was hard for them to chew. It's grilled, which is healthier, but it's also dry. Dipping sauce helps but still it was even hard for me to chew. Maybe if they were breaded that would help, but then they'd probably be fried like everywhere else. Chick Fil A has tender grilled chicken somehow. Anyway, the last time we went their sandwich bread was harder and dryer than usual and there were no samples up front (I can't really complain about free samples but they usually always have them). Also, about their soup, I'm under the impression it's canned soup from how it tastes and the texture of the vegetables. Most of the time their service is good and if your ordered sandwich's bread isn't available the'll let you know and have given us a free loaf of bread on two occasions.

First time at Baked and we loved it. Their meatball pesto sandwich was superb, and very filling. The sourdough bread is amazing (not like typical sourdough you get at the grocery store - this stuff is actually delicious) and fresh. As we were eating one of the owners came up to ask us how everything was. He is a friendly chap. My wife is gluten-free, so naturally we're on the hunt for gluten-free options. They have a gluten-free chocolate cake and they can wrap any sandwich in lettuce leaves for a gluten-free experience.

The great thing about this place is that it is BIG. Say goodbye to cramped tables and chairs! This cafe style bakery is comparable to Kneaders. Similar prices and menu options.We went there for dessert and got a lemon bar, oreo brownie, and gluten free chocolate cake... which is pretty much the same as the chocolate cake at PF Changs- a gigantic truffle! Lemon Bar is awesome, everything else is also good. Generous with the tasters and you can pick up preservative-free, freshly baked sliced bread for $2 a loaf while you're there. It will be nice to have this new option for post dollar-movie date desserts.
