Village Baker - Saratoga Springs — Restaurant in Saratoga Springs

I have been to this location multiple times and I thought it was time to do a review.

1-the food. I walk in determined to try different things on the menu but I go back to the tuna sandwich each time. It is so good. So well seasoned. Not at all fishy. I get a half tuna on white with lettuce, tomato, and pickle. Always the pickle. While I make a killer tuna at home, this is the best tuna sandwich I’ve ever had out of a commercial kitchen. It’s actually better than my mom’s tuna.

My husband tries all the different things and today he got egg salad on rye. He was impressed as well. His only complaint was the filling smooshed out the back of the sandwich when you take a bite. If that’s the only complaint you get you’re doing something right.

2-physical environment. Clean restaurant. Clean bathroom. Lots of seating. Lots of groups of people chatting away after the food is finished. Definitely a come visit and eat type of place. Which means laughter and warmth. It’s good.

3-employees. They are all so so nice and welcoming and sweet and helpful. The general manager of this store has done a fantastic job gathering people who support the friendly, welcoming sense of home. Also, the older gentleman who was interacting with the guests and checking on everyone is a sheer delight. I felt so welcome and watched over with him walking the dining room. Kinda...

I usually try to stay with the positive on reviews but this visit was completely unacceptable. I pulled up to the drive through with one single SUV at the window in front of me . I placed a order for 1 single sandwich and pulled up behind the SUV. Cars then pulled up behind me. After waiting for honestly 15 minutes I was ready to just leave but I couldn't get out because of the multiple cars behind me and the one In front of me at the window. A honest 6 minutes more passed before the SUV at the window received there order and pulled away. I then pulled up to the window and the gentleman said he was sorry about the wait. I politely stated that a wait would be like 10 minutes. 21 minutes at a drive thru with one single SUV in front of me is due more than just a sorry. He stated he again was sorry for the wait and wished me a good evening. Lack of planning on my part. Next time I go to any drive through I will definitely not anticipate timely service. I guess it's just the days we live in now. Peanut butter and jelly from...

My husband and I went here to dinner for the first time a few evenings ago. We each ordered a half sandwich and cup of soup + drink. (Probably about $12-15 each). I ordered egg salad on honey wheat bread & chicken noodle soup. My husband ordered a meat & cheese sandwich (forget which kind) on honey wheat bread & the broccoli and cheese soup. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals; my husband kept raving about the broccoli and cheese soup & I couldn’t stop gushing about the bread of our sandwiches!!! lol! I mean, the egg salad was yummy, the chicken noodle soup was all comfort & cozy, but the bread! Seriously, it was cut nice and thick, & took me straight back to having my mom taking fresh homemade bread out of the oven as a little girl. In my opinion, it was the star of the show! lol!! We enjoyed a dessert - tried out the raspberry bun (very sweet and delicious), but I keep thinking about...
