The Baker - New Bedford

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.

I’ve been here twice. I just think pastries are okay at best. Base is flaky and nice but everything I tried just kind of lacking flavor. Delicious herbal tea though!

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 Bourbo
