Bakery Cafe

Nice servers but service was slow.Went to looked for baked goods to take home and saw it's a bakery.Ordered slices of apple and Pecan pies.Server took out the Sisco frozen pies out and put it on the counter to open the package and cut a slice out.Ok, so not made in store, but won't complain.That took about 15 minutes.Took my order and went home with my pie slices.They were the raw dough kind and everything was mushy/unrecognizable. We determined the beige pipe to be the apple pie and the dark pile to be Pecan.Even my sweet tooth kid and husband couldn't eat it.

Appears where all the locals go. There was a line to get inside. We waited probably just 10 minutes for a table, which wasn't terrible. The wait staff was nice, but appeared a little overwhelmed. The restaurant is a little out dated. Could use a fresh coat of paint and replacement of stained ceiling tiles. The food was decent. We got the fried chicken burger, which was good. The fried okra was good and fresh. Was disappointed in the crab cakes. The menu said "fresh from the gulf" thinking I was going to get me some good crab cakes, was disappointed to get imitation crab cakes. Would not recommend this from the menu. Kids had the fried shrimp (not fresh from the gulf) and a grilled cheese which was good. The only conflicting thing is that the restaurant identified and named themselves a bakery but they had only had 3 options in the desert options. No pastries, fresh bread, or desserts. They cater more like a diner for lunch and dinner.

I don't know why the ratings are so low here but we had a terrific lunch. It is truly stepping back in time. The menu is exactly like the coffee shops we ate at as kids. If you want bistro food, pass on it, but if you like classic American comfort food, this is the place.The ambience leaves much to be desired, true, but it's very clean and the service is friendly and efficient.We had beef vegetable soup to start (serious yum) and a side salad (not so great due to dull dressing). Both the roast beef plate and pork cutlet were wonderful. Moist and tender and well seasoned. Great mashed taters and brown gravy. Save room for pie.

In all the years we've been to Aransas Pass and then on to Port A, we have never eaten here before. It's been around since 1929 and is right across the street from the H‑E‑B. So we finally tried it. Not bad. A good homey diner. They offer burgers, seafood (duh), steaks, breakfast (they open early), salads, sandwiches and daily dinner specials, desserts and some Mexican food. The dinner specials are $10.95. You get your choice of several entrees of the day with soup or salad and a side. I kept it simple: grilled cheese sandwich and a cup of the soup of the day which was potato. Both were good. Grilled cheese was buttery and the soup was creamy. The husband had a two filet fish plate with Cole slaw and mashed. Another good choice. Tea and coffee are reasonably priced at $1.59. So many restaurants have jacked up drink prices to $3.50 and up. This was nice. Worth a stop.

Took my Dad to Bakery Cafe today because he wanted a diner-type breakfast before driving back to his home in Dallas. Bakery Cafe served that purpose for us, but it wasn't anything special and wouldn't get on my list of places I'm planning to visit again soon. It is a small-town diner/cafe, through and through, nothing more.Think simple breakfasts, black coffee, & burgers. Their menu wont surprise you, their dishes wont wow you with presentation or taste, it has a musty/old smell about it, & it may take longer than you think it should. But you can be fed here.

Looking for a dive diner? This is your spot! It was interesting...we waited for awhile to be sat, there isn't a hostess and the staff wasn't very friendly, but I think they were just busy?. Basic diner food menu options. I ordered a chicken sandwich that was decent, but the bread was soggy by the time it got to the table. My boyfriend got the club that looked amazing and he said was good!

We have been here a few times. Food was ok. Thought we would try it again. First we waited to be seated as waitress were standing around waiting for something to do. The one that seats you is also the cashier and apparently no one else is allowed. Although after we were seated we did notice regulars coming in and being told to sit wherever. She took our drink order, gave us menus and went back to the front. Again, waitresses are standing or walking around but no drinks coming our way. A family gets seated behind us. Their drink order is taken, drinks arrive and their food order is taken. We still haven't received our drinks. I want to leave but my wife says to wait a little longer. We do. Finally get served. I ordered the special which was written on a board behind the counter. When served, I noticed it did not have the extra vegetable or roll. When I asked about it, the waitress said that I had not ordered the special but the regular meal from the menu. I said it is the same meal. It seams that just pointing to the board and saying I would have the chicken fried steak wasn't enough. I had to actually say I want the special chicken fried steak. When I go to check out I tell the cashier that I ordered the special. I was charged the regular menu price if 50 cents more. Not a big deal, just the principle. She asks the waitress about it. The waitress at the time was halfway across the restaurant from us. She announces again that I did not order the special. That was their last chance to keep a customer. We will not be back.

One of our favorite places to eat!! Food is outstanding!!! There are tons of options from breakfast to dinner and amazing deserts! We love to take friends and family!!

Had breakfast: eggs, bacon & hash browns cooked exactly as ordered. Coffee could be a little stronger for my taste. Wait staff was friendly and attentive. Will return.

We stopped here before crossing over to Port A. This cafe did not disappoint. We three had something different and our selections were delicious. Service was efficient and prompt. We did notice their hours were extended since we were last here. So glad they did this as we would have been too late to eat. Will be stopping again on our next trip in September.
