Bakers & Baristas

The food was good, but for the price, it felt a bit overpriced. Where they really shine is in their desserts and coffee — definitely the standout items. If you're stopping by, I’d recommend going for a sweet treat and a cup of coffee rather than a full meal.

My first time here, here are some things you should know about this place. 1) Get there as soon as it opens; it gets busy. 2) On weekends, a lot of runners gather here for breakfast, so it's quite busy. 3) Parking fills up quickly, so arrive early. THE FOOD IS AMAZING!!! Desserts and food are so good. I had the breakfast bowl and it was just perfect, and all of our food was delicious. The place is very clean, with plenty of comfortable tables to sit on, and the atmosphere is nice and quiet, with friendly staff. To the Manager: Please add another register; the lines are getting too long; the wait time for a cup of coffee and some bread was about 35 minutes, and the line moves very slowly; especially on weekends, you need more employees and one more register to keep the line moving. Aside from that, you must visit this place for some delicious breakfast, and the portions are generous!!! I loved it. Yummy Healthy Breakfast here.

Great little spot found accidentally. I've only had their latte and a few pastries but they're fantastic. Service is nice, friendly and quick! Have gone back several times in 2 weeks.

Great coffee and a delicious breakfast burrito. Service was excellent and a great vibe when we dined inside.

This place has a weird business model but they have well crafted food. Came for brunch and was pleased with the flavors and amount of veggies and flavors in my bowl. My partner got avocado toast and thought it was delicious. I've been here after their brunch hours for drinks and dessert many times. Love the ambiance of the place. Don't love their cakes but that's personal texture preference.

I will get the bad out of the way first. My one and only personal gripe about this place is; ordering dine in food at a to go counter. Other than this very minute complaint, there is nothing but praise, and utmost satisfaction for Bakers and Baristas. The ordering restaurant food at a to go counter is clearly done by design. They have dozens upon dozens upon dozens of macarons displayed at their glass counter, as well as other baked goods such as croissants, a green matcha cake, and a cereal milk cake (which looks like a delicate, taste indulgent soft serve, ice cream cake). Since I'm a savory guy, I went straight for the breakfast burrito. It was stuffed to the brim with at least two different types of meats (sausage, bulgogi?) eggs, cheese, and potatoes. I didn't try any of my compatriots dishes since I was too busy enjoying what I ordered. Regardless, there doesn't seem to be any type of boring dish on their menu. I will be coming back here once my sweet tooth is activated. 4.8/5 ⭐

They need to work on there quality of coffee and do better on service, And croissants 🥐 was terrible I asked them to warming up on microwave and ended up burned and dry like paper towels. And for somehow the price is too high to what they offer.. not worth it to try this place. For my own experience I’ll not come back so I already flagged it as red flag 🚩

Visited this spot for brunch with the bestie and got pork belly and breakfast bowls. I was quite disappointed in the food itself because it wasn't as flavorful as I thought. The best parts of each is the pork belly itself (just that the pork skin isn't crispy). The breakfast bowl was subpar and generic imo. I've tasted this before but better from other breakfast spots. I've visited here before for the Cereal cake and it is pretty good l. I like that it does taste like cereal and milk! Their baked goods are way superior than their brunch food.

Looove love love Bakers & Baristas! I've been coming here since middle school (a little over 7 years) and they've always been consistent with the quality of treats and drinks. I tell everybody about this place! My favorite thing to order has always been their macarons, they're generously sized, reasonably priced, and super high quality. Not to mention tons of flavor variety to choose from! If you've ever had Honey & Butter Macarons in Irvine, these are the exact same quality-- but this place is the OG. Although I mainly come for their baked goods, I've had their coffee a few times and I remember having a great experience every time. They have fair trade artisan coffee and put a lot of effort into their craft so if you're looking for a place that's genuinely passionate about coffee you'll definitely like it here. I haven't had their hot food but will for sure be returning to try it and report in the future. Service is always nice, they're quick to acknowledge you and are very knowledgeable about the products they sell which is important for those who have allergies and such. Place is always kept very clean and despite being one of the oldest establishments in this plaza, I've always considered their interior to be quite modern. My boyfriend and I recently tried their Milk & Cereal cake (fruity pebbles tres leches) and it was delicious. Not sure if it's going to be available long term because I think it was a seasonal flavor but it's definitely worth a try! My top two favorite macaron flavors are blueberry earl grey and fruity pebbles. His favorites are horchata and blueberry earl grey as well. I have nothing but good things to say about this place; will forever be in my top 10 bakery recommendations in SoCal. Don't sleep on this hidden gem!

The coffee was horrible and expensive The only thing we enjoyed was the milk and cereal cake. The chocolate milk had a hair in it and they had to remake the drink. The coffee drink was okay Ended up going to try stereoscope coffee in la habra that was worth $50 not this place

Atmosphere: 3.5 It was one of those nice, clean, neat, black metal accents on light colored wood vibes. Not too much personality, but straight forward and well maintained. Menu variation: 4.5 They had the classics, but it wasn't too outside the norm. They had about 5 flavored latte options and a mocha. But I appreciate the lack of variety of flavors was because their syrups were housemade and not just bottled stuff, so that gave them the edge for me. They did have a great food menu though! Not just baked goods, but good full breakfast and lunch options. Customer Service: 5 I placed my order online and they called to clarify something on my order because I misunderstood the ordering process and marked stuff incorrectly. I thought to was awesome they didn't hesitate to call and clarify instead of guessing what I meant! Drink quality: 2 This is where it breaks my heart! I got the Iced Vanilla Bean latte with an add shot and oatmilk. My husband got an Iced Salted Caramel latte with an add shot and oatmilk. There was a weird almost sour and acidic taste on the first sip for both. It diluted a little as the drink mixed and melted down over time, but it never really went away. Honestly, it was just ok. The salted caramel latte was better than the vanilla in my opinion, but I'm not sure if we had that weird sour taste because of the add shot and it would have been better to leave well enough alone. It seemed like a popular spot though, so I can't imagine everyone else was having the same experience. Or maybe they liked that flavor profile. Food quality: 4 My husband and I both got Jimbo's Breakfast Burrito. It was really good! The salsa that came on the side didn't have a lot of spice, but it had great flavor. Price worth it: 2 We ordered online ahead of time. I'm not sure if that increased the normal prices or not since this was my first time here. But with our modifications of oatmilk and an add shot, our drinks were $10.25 each! To not completely enjoy my drink after paying $10.25 for it was really tough. The burritos were $18 each. Although the burrito was delicious, it still seemed kind of high for being a coffee shop vibe and not a full brunch experience at a sit down restaurant. Overall rating for me is a 3. I would probably go back to give it another shot, but not anytime soon. Gotta save up for another visit. Enjoy your own culinary adventure!

I've only heard great things about this place from friends and family, but my first time visiting just didn't hit the spot for me. I came for brunch with some friends and was eyeing the french toast or buttermilk pancakes, but the french toast was crossed off the menu and the pancakes are only served on weekends. I opted for the mushroom sisig, one of their popular dishes. It looked very aesthetic, but the flavor just wasn't there (almost like elevated sautéed vegetables) with most of the flavoring from its charred and crisped mushrooms. The matcha latte was okay, but my meal and drink totaled $34, which felt pricey for what I got. The portions were decent, but the flavors didn't stand out. The service was friendly, but overall not in a rush to come back but would love to give another try on other dishes or pastries.

This place has a sort of modern cozy vibe. We came around noonish and it wasn't too busy! You order at the front, they give you a number, and then you choose your own seating. They'll bring your food to you when it's ready! The food was pretty good, however some of their options can be a bit pricey, especially with certain add-ons. The vanilla latte and the honey lavender latte were both smooth and not too sweet. I had the Jimbo's Burrito and I loved the avocado and the tater tots inside!

It was a crowded Christmas Eve here! Some menu items that caught my eye: french toast, pancakes, furikake chicken sandwich. Pancakes were only offered on the weekends so I couldn't order that and since I planned on getting a slice of cake as well, I wanted to try something more savory. Unfortunately didn't get to try the chicken sandwich either because they were out of brioche. I ended up trying the breakfast burrito, the grilled cheese, and the milk & cereal cake slice. The breakfast entrees were fantastic. - The grilled cheese was surprisingly massive but it was this crispy rustic toast with melted cheese and tomato bits sandwiched in the middle. It's definitely a dipper if you had something to dip it in. - Breakfast burrito had crispy tater tots inside, finely chopped sausage and bacon, some egg, and a chipotle crema on the side. - Milk & cereal cake tastes like a tres leches with fruity pebble bits on top as texture. Not extremely sweet but it gets sweet once you're halfway through with it. Overall would come again and try more of their menu.

I'm going to be honest, I have no idea about coffee. I can barely order a Starbucks. The ONLY coffee I know is espresso martinis With that being said, I was not going to even attempt to order one here (they are known for all their delicious coffee! It smelled so good in here) I came for the CAKE! (This review is strictly for the dessert and service) When I first walked in I was hit by the great views of the dessert case. I've heard great things about their VERY popular - milk and cereal cake . Let me tell you, that's exactly what it tasted like. It hit me with the nostalgia of eating a bowl of fruity pebbles and milk I ended up also grabbing their - maple whisky cheesecake. To be honest I couldn't really taste the maple. Or the whisky. I had some very high hopes for this! It was honestly just ok I also ordered their - Rocher cake (chocolate hazelnut cake that tasted just like the chocolate candy) I usually am not a fan of chocolate cake because it's usually dry in my opinion. But I loved this! I did order one macaron and that was amazing. I should have ordered more of those and they had some other delicious looking cookies. The customer service was honestly great. The guy helping me was really sweet and trying to help me with suggestions on drinks (i ultimately went with buying a sparkling water. I know, very lame of me) he was so nice and thoughtful and asked if I wanted a to go cup with ice for it. I definitely do need to come back and try some of their drinks. Another worker came up with some boxes to pack up my leftovers (he did this without asking. So they are very attentive here) and gave me a bag to carry it in This place is located with TONS of other places. They also have private parking This place is extremely popular and thankfully they have tons of seating inside. I even saw some places to sit outside. I 10000 percent will be back for their food and coffee. The brunch food would make any brunch girly shake in their boots. By reading their reviews and looking at tons of pics I already know what I have my eye set on when I come in for some brunch food This place was also extremely clean. It's a nice layout but very minimalist. I really liked it and thought it fit the whole vibe. Overall 5 stars I love this place and I haven't even tried their food or coffee, just their cakes

I've been here before for cake and drinks but i've never sat down to eat until recently and it was great!!! Everyone working was so nice and the wait for the food wasn't long at all. I ordered the breakfast bowl and my friend got the mushroom sisig which were both so delicious. We had to order something sweet on the side so we got the matcha mousse cake! Definitely a great place to go for brunch or a quick sweet treat!

Whenever I'm in Artesia, CA I always make it a point to grab a slice of one of my favorite cakes! The Cereal Milk cake is moist, sweetened to perfection and comes with a side of milk to smother over your cake slice. They have excellent service and amazing coffee! I definitely will eventually work my way to trying some of their other options but, for now go get a slice of that cake!!!

I came with a friend on Christmas Eve for lunch and it was packed! We were barely able to snag seats at the communal table and made our orders. I know the coffee here is supposed to be amazing, but I didn't order it this time lol. Instead we opted for the milk and cereal cake, grilled cheese and breakfast burrito. The milk and cereal cake is all that it's hyped up to be. It's reminiscent of a tres leches but with a fruity pebble kick. It was decadent, delicious and just the right amount of sweet. It came with additional dipping sauce that made the milk and cereal flavor pop out even more. I was skeptical of the grilled cheese when it came out because it was so charred, but it was sooooo good! The tomato cut into the heaviness of the cheese perfectly. Every bite was delicious and crisp. I only took a small bite of my friend's breakfast burrito but it was also really good. The sauce that came with it complimented it well and the burrito was super stuffed! I'll definitely come back to try the coffee next time!

My friend recommended this place to me months before I decided to actually decided to visit... and that is a shame on my part. It is a shame that I didn't visit sooner! I came with my friend who recommended it, since opps, I kept forgetting. I only have tried the cakes, so not sure too much about their food-food items but I can say that I absolutely love the cakes. This cafe is in a super large plaza, so parking isn't too bad to find. The place is open until 4pm, then it converts to a dinner place called Luka at Night. There is plenty of indoor and some outdoor seating so you can always stay for a bit to relax and enjoy the food. My favorite by far is the matcha mousse. It is super creamy and just matcha-y enough for me. I love that it isn't too sweet and that the oreo crust really balances out the textures. The mousse provides a soft creaminess while the orea crust offers a bit of crunch that would definitely be missed if it was just a matcha mousse. I've also ordered the Baker's Rocher, and I'm a huge fan of chocolate things, but I'm not too much a fan of this one. I feel this cake is a bit too one-dimensional for me. I do like how there is a bit of a crunch to it and it was super moist. I would also say that this cake is a bit on the thick and heavy side, but it isn't as sweet as you would expect of a chocolate cake. So if you like a bit thicker type of chocolate cake, this maybe for you. I would say that the Pumpkin Miso caramel cake is super unique. I thought was pretty decent, but it does have interesting notes to it. The pumpkin (of course) really shines through and you can notice the hint of miso, but it isn't too strong. The cake itself was very light and super moist and a good fall dessert. I would also like to note, that the cakes might be a little expensive, but they are huge slices and I would say is meant to be shared... but of course, you can always eat it all to yourself!

This establishment is in a very busy plaza with several eateries. I have been eating clean all week so my cheat food for the weekend was their furikake chicken sandwich. It's big and the chicken is fried. I couldn't finish it but I'm sure plenty of people can. Brioche bun was nice and soft and the coleslaw inside the sandwich was good. The boy got a 3 dollar birthday flavor macaroon. No coffee for me this time around but the hot red tea with steamed oatmilk was good. It's the closest I could get to a London fog.

I frequent this place, and realized that I never gave it a review. I ordered the Salted Caramel Latte, tasted great making sure the salt doesn't over power the caramel and vice versa. I also loved the foam art work that the barista made. There is plenty of seating, very clean laid back farmhouse style cafe with great jams playing over the speakers. Great place to study and just have a nice bite to eat. The service was fast and friendly.

This was the place where my friend and I met last week to catch up and for me to finally explore this part of Artesia. It is located in busy plaza and parking is shared with other business establishments. Place wasn't that busy at 10:30 am Saturday and my friend and I went to the counter to order Tapsilog (marinated sirloin with garlic rice, cage free fried egg, atchara or picked carrot and papaya and a small container of banana ketchup), croissant, and coffee. All that for $79++. Hmm...little pricey. Their take for the "tapsilog" is different and for me it's just that...different (from the choice of meat, seasoning and condiment), not thrilled. Coffee was good though with the almond croissant. Now the milk & honey cake, matcha mousse cake and macarons (all 6 flavors that I tried) ...now those are good. I might just drive back to Artesia just for those. The place is clean and good for big or small groups. Maybe the other breakfast items are better...maybe when I'm within the area.

Everything I got was pure bliss goodness! Breakfast burrito was the best I ever had. Not to mention Their delicious thin chocolate chip cookies . Service and atmosphere was perfect with so much seating. I definitely recommend this 5 Star cafe restaurant.

Bakers and Baristas is a bakery and cafe located in a large plaza with a lot of other food and drink spots. There is plenty of parking as well. Came here with a friend for brunch on a Saturday. Upon entering, we were greeted by a staff member. There wasn't a line to order so we were able to place our orders quickly and grab a table. It's a cute and cozy spot with a good number of tables. We both ordered a drink, entree, and a couple of pastries to go. I ordered a Honey Lavender Latte with Almond Milk, the Mushroom Sisig, a Kouign Amann, and a Honey Cornmeal Strawberry Cookie. Our drinks came out quickly and our food followed not too long after. My latte was very good -- smooth, not too sweet, and had a nice lavender flavor. The Mushroom Sisig was delicious. It was flavorful and had a lot of textural elements such as crispy rice, different types of mushrooms, and the lettuce on the side. Squeezing lemon juice over the Sisig made it even better. I shared the pastries with my fiance and we enjoyed both of them. We warmed up the cookie which we felt made it better since it had crispy edges while still being chewy. The cornmeal in the cookie gave it a unique texture with a slight corn flavor. The Kouign Amann was flaky and crispy. Overall, giving Bakers and Baristas a 5/5. This is an all-around great place for food, coffee, and pastries. Would recommend to anyone looking for any of these things. It's also a good place to hang out and catch up with friends. Definitely will come back to try other things.

I've stopped by Bakers and Baristas for coffee and a sweet treat on multiple occasions, but since I'm often in a hurry, I never realized they offered brunch! Recently, I took the time to enjoy brunch here, and I was truly impressed. Service here is always quick. Everything was delicious and fresh. Their drinks are consistently fantastic. The club sandwich and pancakes were definitely my favorites!

The cake with the fruity pebbles is popular for a reason. It is smooth and lightly sweet and a perfect dessert. The desserts are expensive but the cake was definitely a decadent treat. A cute little cafe that turns into a restaurant at night. Super cute

A great spot to catch up with a few friends with communal seating. It's not too loud or small. I got the mushroom sisig, yuzu palmer, hot chocolate, macaroon, and cookie for my toddler and I. One star off because the mushroom sisig was unfortunately way too salty. Extremely salty. I downed my entire yuzu palmer, and many cups of water. I like me some salt, but actually couldn't finish it because it was so salty. A second star off because service- the sisig was also missing the rice and I let a staff member know and they said it was in there (spoiler: it wasn't and they didn't carefully examine that perhaps the kitchen can make mistakes). I wish I contested it again, but honestly-there's really a limited amount of time for me corralling my toddler and infant by myself. I'm about second chances though. I came back the following week to try the same dish again and asked for less salt. Sadly, same results. On the plus, it actually had rice this time which helped with the salt but also made me annoyed that I was gaslit the first time. Still way too salty, in general. I do recommend the cookie and my friend liked her burrito. I'm not sure I'll be back a 3rd time.

My family and I love going to Bakers and Baristas! One thing we did notice recently is that the prices have gone up :( we didn't realize that it's so expensive now. Almost a $30 plate for breakfast is kind of mindblowing! But we always enjoy our experience. My husband and brother ordered the tapsilog, which is always their go-to order! So flavorful and delicious! My sister ordered the porky belly bowl! The only bummer with this plate is that there is like 4 pieces of pork belly. Other than that, it's very yummy. I got the breakfast sandwich with bacon! Bacon was a little too salty for my liking, but I loved that there was avocado to balance it out. The bun was sweet and yummy. We also enjoyed our coffees!

This review is long overdue! I've been coming here since it's opened in 2015, and this place still does not disappoint! From the service to the food, everything is a 10/10. I come here for the breakfast/brunch! I always order their tapsilog (popular Filipino dish with garlic rice, tender marinated beef, and a fried egg), vanilla latte, and milk and cereal cake. This place is hip, and just has a really chill vibe. Definitely a top breakfast spot.

Found this place through word and decided to try it out! Located in a big strip mall, parking can get a little bit crazy with all the shops. Went on a Saturday at 12pm for lunch and there was no wait. Nice indoor seating a some outdoor seating as well. As for the food, I got the Jimbo Burrito. I would give the burrito a 3.5/5. Way too salty for my liking but the salsa that was given on the side helped cut into it a little. The proportion was good for about $14. The dragon phoenix tea was the star for me. Nice roasted oolong flavor. I would give this place another try!

I've been to Bakers and Baristas many times over the years. What I like are their cookies. They have unique cookie flavors and I like the texture and flavors that they offer. I can't pass up their Valrona Chocolate Chip cookie. I'm not as big of a fan of their croissants as they don't have the layers that you often see from a really nice, laminated dough. They're dense rather than flaky/buttery. Their lattes are fine - they're doing better now with being on top of completing orders. We consider coming here when some of the other local coffee shops are closed on sundays. I do have to try their filipino brunch items some day and this is something unique to their restaurant. To date, however, I've come mainly for their drinks and their baked goods and they're solidly A-OK/3 stars.

Authentically delicious! I can be a bit of a snob when it comes to Filipino food (family recipes will do that to you!), but I really enjoyed the Tapsilog. I came with my colleagues for a work lunch & we all enjoyed our meals. The team is great, and wanna give a shoutout to Jarell for being extra attentive! They also have seating outside if you have a pup. Overall, you'll find good food at a good price.

I came for brunch to celebrate a friend's birthday and was impressed by the quick service. We ordered at the counter and found our table in the outdoor seating area (which is great if you bring pets). We ordered the tapsilog (steak, eggs, and garlic rice), a pork belly bowl, and a breakfast sandwich. I especially enjoyed the crunchy garlic topped on the rice for the tapsilog. Each item was full of flavor. The drinks were excellent and we also ordered the milk & cereal cake. The cake tasted a lot like tres leches. I'm looking forward to returning to try more of the menu!

i ordered the dulce de leche cake & the pork belly bowl - the dulce de leche cake was not too sweet & very light. i really enjoyed the nuts in the cake, which added an extra texture to the cake! the pork belly bowl was also delicious, but a bit pricey at $26. service was great & love the atmosphere of the cafen overall, this is a solid brunch place for both sweet & savory dishes.

Been here many times, the food is always so good! Especially love the breakfast/ brunch food options because there are a lot of savory options (my fav). Everyone there is really helpful and there's lots of seating and good music playing all the time!!

Definitely pricey but everything's delicious! Came here to celebrate a friend's early birthday. Service was friendly & pretty quick despite the line - maybe we got lucky but it was easy to find an empty table. You place/pay for your food order first then find a table yourself. We got the tapsilog - basically steak & eggs with crunchy garlic rice, pork belly bowl & a breakfast sandwich. Everything was cooked well & delicious to eat. The drinks were a hit too! Looking forward to coming back and trying out more of their food selection. They have a great variety of pastries too :) we tried the milk & cereal cake as well & it's good if you like a creamy cake - very moist almost like a tres leches.

This place has plenty of seating inside and outside. Large array of desserts and pastries but try to order before 12pm or else it will be all gone. I was surprised how expensive the menu was. $7.25 for a latte (not including $1extra for almond or oat milk), food prices ranged from $15-$26 per plate). I paid $30 for just a breakfast sandwich and a latte. Cookies were about $3 each and worth the price! They were big but thin. I probably won't be coming back for the food since it's so pricey but will be coming back for the pastries. Bus boy and girl were on it! Took our plates and gave us to go containers right away.

This is more like 3.5 stars, but I'm rounding it up because the service here is great! This is a cafe style restaurant with spacious tables. I tried the breakfast burrito and mushroom sisig. A lot of dishes here seem Filipino inspired. Flavor is great, but the food was too salty that I chugged down so much water. My friend found a fruit fly on a piece of her lettuce because they didn't wash it well. Portion size is very generous though, so I was able to make 1.5 meals out of my order I also see many people studying here, so good place to check out if you want to socialize or get work done.

Came here two weeks in a row for breakfast and am always so impressed with the quality and taste of the food. The staff are efficient and there is indoor and outdoor seating - I personally prefer outdoor only because it is a bit loud inside. Only "negative" is that the prices of items on the menu are on the pricier side.

Pleasant service delivering well-presented and very tasty food. Every ingredient is fresh, high quality and well prepared. The only downer is that the line to order is ridiculously inefficient and therefore slow. The food is worth it to me so i will be back.

The cashier today was rude and grumpy. If this is your temperament don't work in the service industry. Otherwise, revamp your attitude and go through a service excellence training. I shouldn't provided a tip but I knew that she's not the only one who gets the money. The food was mediocre. Tried several items and it was so-so. Lost interest and no plan of returning anytime.

PARKING (3/5): They have a plaza but the spots are small and it's always busy. AMBIANCE (3/5): It's a big coffee house with music playing semi-loudly, a large community table and tons of smaller tables. FOOD/DRINK (4/5): $6.50 SPICED MOCHA (sub almond milk): took 15 min, but they were packed & it was delicious! $8 SALTED CARAMEL LATTE: (cost +$1 for non-dairy) was delicious! There is only one size. Why is coffee so expensive now! $21 MUSHROOM SISIG (added EGG & AVO): wow! I didn't know what to expect when I ordered this, but it was SO FLAVORFUL! $18 BREAKFAST BOWL: it was OK. I loved the variety of vegetables in this bowl (lacinto kale, carrots, micro greens, broccolini), but it didn't blow me away. Try the mushroom sisig! SERVICE (4/5): They brought my coffee & food to my table. Got me ketchup (but I didn't realize it's self-serve by the door). Great service & friendly staff, but more of a half serve yourself & half serve me type of place. OVERALL (4/5): LOVE their coffee more than most places, so the $8 is worth it since it's comparable in price to every other coffee shop around. I haven't tried all of their food, but so far the MUSHROOM SISIG blew me away!

Been to Bakers & Barista twice now. I ordered the same food on the two visits because I enjoyed it the first time. I had their pork belly bowl. Unfortunately on the 2nd visit, I found a piece of hair on my bowl and the knife they gave me was falling apart. :( on this second visit, I took my husband and our fur-baby so we sat outdoors. It was nice outside so it was a great time to dine outdoors. My husband ordered their tapsilog (beef TAP+SInangag+ itLOG) (beef tapa with fried rice and sunny side up eggs) he loved his meal. We also ordered some lattes. I ordered salted caramel latte for my husband and I ordered their seasonal latte which was a gingerbread latte. The guy at the counter did not tell me that the gingerbread latte would taste like cinnamon powder spilled on the drink. So when I first sipped it, all I got was cinnamon taste. I asked the lady serving us if I can exchange my drink with something else. So glad she allowed me to. I replaced my drink with the salted caramel latte my husband had. If they didn't allowed me to change my drink, my rating for them would not be because of the hair and knife issue. In fairness, I didn't bring it up with them. They might have done something about it had I mentioned it. Would I go back to this place? Maybe... their menu items are also not cheap.

I fell in love with Bakers & Baristas so much, I came back the next day! I'm no where close in the area but I made the trip any way! There's lots to love about Bakers & Baristas: - customer service is AMAZING. I got to have a quick convo with Matthew, super cool, great vibes, sweet and accommodating. Everyone who works here has an awesome attitude. It's the epitome of what restaurant service should be! - my vanilla bean and salted caramel latte HIT THE SPOT. With their homemade syrups, it totally brings the flavors to a different level -the ambiance is warm and welcoming. Everything makes sense! They offer take away containers and bags for your convenience. There's a water station. There's indoor and outdoor seating. Anyone, single or in a group, would feel super comfy here! Their restrooms are cute and clean! -my tapsilog was amazingly delicious -my chocolate chip cookie was also a good combination of sweet, crunchy and soft I'll definitely be coming back and I would recommend!!!

Bakers has been my go to for my cakes. The boys love their macarons too but today I went back for brunch with some friends and was finally able to try the mushroom sisig I have been interested in trying! Well I was surprised with how much I enjoyed it! The taste was on point! Flavors was there! And I love the crispy rice to add the crunch effect. Mannn I seriously enjoyed this dish so much! Downside.... Need to order rice on the side haha which thankfully the girl told me. It did come with lettuce wraps but sisig isn't eaten that way haha so it was weird for me. But I enjoyed it so much! I also got my usual chocolate croissant which I still love till now. Their croissant is so flaky! Place is clean! Great service. Overall great experience still

I was on the hunt for a really good latte and found it. Their vanilla bean latte is delicious and look y'all the breakfast bowl......out of this world! The flavors of all the fresh ingredients were amazing. I didn't expect to eat breakfast but something told me to try it and it was so worth it. If you are ever in this area I highly recommend this spot. Plenty of parking available, you order at the front and if you dine in you are given a number and sit wherever you want. Your order is then brought out to you. Once I finished my food the baristas were tentative and picked up my plate in less than five minutes. A great spot for a date or even a cup of coffee alone. Will be back for sure!

Great place for after lunch today: coffee and dessert Shared two giant slices of cake among 4 persons: hazelnut crème layered chocolate cake and the milk and cereal cake (which is served with the sweet milk for pouring over the cake). Several open tables but we opted for one with half banquette seats and two more chairs. The cakes were massive and we ended not consuming part of the chocolate one. Quite busy for a rainy Thursday afternoon, Coffees and hot cocoa were perfect for the weather. I have yet to try the bistro style offerings.

Cake was SWEET, moist, and delicious. Definitely good to share and worth trying. It'll satisfy your sweet craving. Service was sweet and efficient. Their breakfast burrito (not pictured) was yummy and flavorful. Highly recommend!

Finally got to try this place after always seeing it on the outside --- it closes @ 4pm so plan accordingly. Inside is spacious and inviting. I like how it looks, clean and straight to the point, furniture well thought of. Staff is amazing! No need to look for a specific person because everyone is the same. Don't expect them to be too much too, they are human beings after all but they do accomodate questions. Being new & excited, had to ask questions. Menu was not overwhelming, again straight to the point which i love. My friend says they used to have adobo but i didn't see it in the menu, ordered pork belly instead, yum! Portions were more than enough, save room for dessert. Tried the hazelnut cookie (not sure if that's the name) and its not overly sweet, not sure if i'm a tad bit dissapointed lol. Texture was perfect though. We had to try the cereal cake (again not sure if that's the name); not a fan of a soggy cake but adding milk is a must try. Pour it as you eat.

Delicious and flavorful dishes! Dropped in for some Sunday brunch and I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't too busy for dine in. When you enter there is a walk up counter where you place your order, they hand you a table number and everything is self-seating. I love their open concept and the available indoor and outdoor dining areas. Since it was my first time to visit, my sis and I ordered several dishes to share. We ordered the: - Mushroom sisig - Jimbos burrito - Tapsilog - Mocha latte - Matcha tiramisu Everything we ordered tasted delicious with unique and flavorful seasoning and the dish portions were perfect for sharing. For dessert we had the matcha tiramisu and it paired perfectly with the mocha latte. The cake contained the right amount of sweetness, was moist and absolutely yummy! Will definitely have to come back and try their other delicious signature dishes and treats.

My kid loves their Milk and Cereal cake. We usually drop by when he's in the mood for this dessert or as a treat / reward for something's he's accomplished. We got his usual slice of cake. We were in a bit of a rush to get home but I should have known something was up when I saw how unusually small the box was. Lo and behold. We just opened the box and it's half of a slice inside. I'm not sure if this is what they mean when people say "deflation" (not inflation). Meaning you get less of something but for the same price. it's a sad looking "slice" of cake.

I've been here a few times to pick up desserts (amazing choc chip cookie, love their strawberry one too, fruit tarts, matcha things) and they've all been very good. My friends rave about this place for brunch so we finally went and it WAS very good! Thankfully we did not have to wait very long and the service was very fast and friendly. Its a cute space, not huge but decorated in a modern way and very relaxed. I had the chicken and gravy which was phenomonal even tho the breading kept falling off and my friend had the bowl which i tasted a little of and it was also very good! Generous portions. I'm excited to try their dinner service someday soon

Yumms. I really enjoyed the Farro Bowl. If you're a fan of Mediterranean food or vinaigrette-y dishes like me, you'll like the Farro bowl. But I think this one is special because it has roasted squash in it so it has an additional soft texture and sweet flavor to the dish. Matcha latte and Iced Americanos. They were alright. I think their hot lattes are superior tho. French Toast was aight. Personally, I'd ask for more maple syrup because it gets a bit dry. Maybe I'll order their cakes next time. This cafe is very spacious and has a lot of seating. People come here to eat, have brunch, coffee, and study. There are indoor and outdoor seating and you can find families to students.

The app asked what went well, everything g went well! Bakers & Baristas has several things going on as a place to eat, and everything was amazing. Came here with a buddy and I zeroed on the pork belly bowl. What I liked/noticed is this is a restaurant but also a coffee/pastry/bakery place. So if you aren't looking g for a big meal you can come here and get some dessert food with some coffee/tea. Along with the pork belly bowl I also ordered some cookies. Pork belly bowl - 4 stars If you like pork belly then this is your dish. With an egg and some rice everything just flows lol. Plenty of meat and it was devoured with a quickness. Good portion size for the price. Cookies - 5 stars. The strawberry and cream cookies are just delicious I was surprised at how good they are. The cookie was soft and you could taste the cream in the cookie. I plan to come back just to order cookies soon. Staff and vibe inside the restaurant was on point, on the staff members went and got us more cookies when they saw how fast they vanished, I was able to pay him direct instead of getting into the long line, which I appreciated. If you roam around to Yelp, this is a place to bookmark and check out. Looking forward to coming back soon. 11

Milk and cereal cake. That's all I'm able to say. It's literally one of the most delectable cakes I have ever had. It's served with milk on the side to enact a "tres leches" cake, and I love that the cake itself is not super sweet. The milk on the side allows you to have control over how sweet you want it! The cake itself is light and fluffy. The price can get a little expensive for $12 a slice, but honestly it's worth it. My family & I have been ordering the whole milk and cereal cake for birthdays and special occasions from here for the past few years!! The service here is great too -- everyone is friendly and easy to talk to and ask questions. There was a mishap a few months ago where I ordered a cake for my bf's birthday and the cake had split from the middle layer (it wasn't set when I picked up) and they graciously offered a refund + 20% off on my next order. Definitely a must try! You won't regret it.

Tasty gochujang (spicy snickerdoodle) cookie, and it makes kim dance Side of potatoes great Mushroom sisig great 20 stars

A solid coffee spot with baked goods and Filipino food as an extra plus. I ordered their Pork belly bowl and Tapsilog. To go I got their chocolate chip cookie and a honey lavender with oat milk latte. The pork belly bowl was excellent with three pieces of pork. They were cooked perfectly and it was the right type of crispy. The dipping sauce was great but I forgot to ask if they had Mang Tomas or lechon sauce. The garlic rice was good but not as garlicky as I've had at other places and the fried egg was great. The slaw was also pretty good and balanced the meal out all together. Now the tapsilog wasn't what I expected for typical topsilog but it was better than expected. It was cooked at medium and the seasoning was perfect. The slaw and garlic rice on this one was more garlicky than the other dish and overall I liked this one better than the pork bowl. Both were excellent dishes. The cookie was phenomenal and was perfectly soft and gooey. The coffee was also excellent and great for on the go. I'd definitely come back here again to try their other menu items. There are plenty of seating inside and it's a nice chill place to get coffee and a snack.
