Bakers & Baristas - Artesia, California

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.

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 🚩

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.

The food was excellent! I enjoyed the breakfast bowl. The ingredients were fresh and seasoned well, especially the potatoes! The macarons were delicious as well and far larger than the standard. I do, however, wish there were more options for pastries when I went, but it seems they may sell out quickly.

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.

The aesthetic is so cute in there. You get the option to have your coffee there, served in glasses/mugs. You really get a welcoming vibe. Coffee was good as well, but cost more than most coffee shops. ~ $9 for Salted Caramel Latte w/Oat Milk

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 ⭐

Fast service. Amazing chocolate cake. Just can’t get any better. Maybe, I need to try the brunch next. Big parking lot, but it tends to get full quick with the surrounding businesses. Rich and light chocolate cake. Nice cookie crunch. Every bite is different, delicate, rich, but you want more after your first slice!
