There are two bakery places in Gainesville that are just super amazing. One is Uppercrust, and the other one is here, BakerBaker. I've been here a couple of times before, but either the shop was closed (because all items were sold out) or only a few were left that I didn't want. Finally, today, during Summer semester (with less college students) on a weekday-Thursday at 7 am, we were able to purchase some items we want.
We had about 4 teams ahead when we arrived. All items were 3 dollars each. They all looked great. You can get some items warm, as they are displayed in a separate warming machine.
We bought pretzels (salted, cheese), and croissants (butter, chocolate, pecan). They all tasted soooooo good. Very soft and melting.
Plus, all staffs are super friendly and they seemed so happy. Such vibe also makes our morning with positive and happy mind, and enhances the tastes of the breads. From now on, I am going to be a big big supporter and spread out the words. This place is just amazing. I left many many Google reviews, but this one is one of my highlights.
Please, if you live in Gainesville but haven't tried it here yet, or if you are visiting this area, stop by and try it here. You will never regret. I highly strongly recommend this place. Come early in the morning, if not, they are...
Read moreWe got to Baker Baker around 8:10am on A Saturday and they were already sold out of most things, which honestly just shows how loved they are. The lady at the front was so kind and welcoming, even though it was clear they'd had a rush (it was Easter weekend, so totally understandable that people came early and stocked up!).
Everything is super reasonably priced,all items are $3, and you can get a half dozen for just $12. That's wild for the quality you're getting! They have an amazing variety: danishes, cookies, pound cakes, and more.
We ended up with a vanilla glazed cinnamon bun, lemon pound cake, cinnamon danish crunch, almond cloud cookie, karma cookie, and a pecan pie bar to split with one of my close friends, and every single bite was absolutely delicious.
I wish I had known there was a line forming right at 7am. I would've rolled out of bed sooner. Thankfully, they told us you can call ahead and reserve, which we might just do next time because I'm already thinking about going back.
I highly recommend the danishes & vanilla cinnamon glaze glazed bun and the pecan pie bar!
This place is one of those spots you'll want to visit again and again, just get there early or call ahead to...
Read moreIt's the hidden gems like this that make Gainesville so special! Amanda's Bakery is an amazing small business! The pastries are absolutely delicious and there is a nice selection of sweet and savory options. I highly recommend the morning buns- a cinnamon sugar pastry with a soft inside and crunchy outside. Everything is made fresh for that day and the ingredients are locally sourced. If you're looking for homemade baked goods, this is the place to go! But be sure to get there early before they sell out! Amanda and her team are super friendly and never fail to provide spectacular service. They're all really cool people to talk to. There's also plenty of outdoor seating options in the cute little park, and the Opus coffee truck is right there as well. Go support your local businesses and enjoy the best pastries...
