If you’re ever craving a pastry that feels like it’s made with love from an European bakery that is the place. This place has blown my mind, and everything is delicious and incredibly well made. A MUST try if you’re ever in the area. Would recommend doing a preorder for ahead of time because they sell out fast!

We visited here last week and had the turkey sandwich and a couple of the cuffins. They were all good. I ordered ahead today to get the baked Chicken Pot Pie. It was ready when we arrived, but was served very cold, like out of the refrigerator. One woman working there told us that it should have been served hot. The pot pie was well made and tasty, but would have been much better hot. We had a slice of lemon cake that was great and also got a cuffin and cookie to take with us.

I have loved going to born and bread ever since I found them on Facebook and knew they were exactly what I wanted for my wedding day! They were wonderful to work with and the guests were thrilled!

Delicious breakfast sandwiches and pastries. Ordered online but had to wait an additional 30 minutes to get food that is why service took a hit on a star. Food is worth the wait.

The food is great, but the way they have things are absolutely chaotic. No organisation whatsoever, and preordering seems to do absolutely nothing. Frustrating and definitely would not recommend coming on a weekend.

Best local bakery…. Tons of sweet options but also savory breakfast sandwiches. We visit every Saturday morning and the staff remembers us! Feels like a family when you go!

We enjoyed a sandwich and a cinnamon roll. Both were delicious and the atmosphere inside is quite pleasant. Ordering ahead online is a good idea if you don't want to wait. We were not in a hurry, so waiting awhile for our food wasn't a problem. We look forward to going back.

We drove from Cape Coral specifically to visit this bakery, and unfortunately the experience was extremely disappointing. I placed an online order the day before to avoid long lines, yet waited over 50 minutes while in-person orders were being filled faster. Multiple customers were frustrated, and staff took names but did not check on orders.

After waiting, I discovered my online order had been sitting on a back table the entire time. When I finally received it, the food was cold—my glazed croissant was hard and the cinnamon buns were not warm as advertised. No effort was made to correct the issue beyond an apology.

Considering the long drive, the wait, and the quality of service and food, this was a frustrating and disappointing experience. If demand has increased due to social media, staffing and order management need serious improvement. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this bakery.

The food is outstanding, truly great normally - and yet, how are you 'unable' to accommodate to leave something off a breakfast sandwich? I'd expect that from Panera, not a place like this!

It is incredibly frustrating and unprofessional how their order-ahead pickup orders are NEVER ready at the time slot selected, and indeed you're compelled to wait for at least 15 minutes to get your food. I waited for 20 minutes today and I've waited up to an hour before. There are literally 30 people here waiting as I write this.

If you can't handle the volume, don't offer dedicated pickup time slots!

1st time visiting & it was great. You are given nicknames for when your order is ready. I thought that was cool. The goodies that we got were awesome. The workers were friendly. Will most likely go there again but you'll have to get there when they open or place an order a day before.

My partner and I visited this lovely establishment for the first time. We ordered the chopped Italian sandwich and the burrata and prosciutto sandwich. We were absolutely blown away! The sandwiches were so well made, the orange juice had a really fresh taste and all around I’m thinking about what to get next time I come by! Wonderful experience all around, huge thank you to the Born and Bread Crew!
