Root-A-Bakers Bakery & Cafe

Root-A-Bakers is a gift to Morehead KY. They have fantastic baked goods, but they have even greater attitudes and hearts. I visited for the first time, and they made sure we all got a free cookie, and they did an excellent job packing a breakfast to go, with our pickup. Their baked goods are tasty, and their scone breakfast sandwich is delicious! The best breakfast sandwich I've ever had, period!The prices are fantastic for what you get as well. We got two scone sandwiches that were MASSIVE, four muffins and 2 additional scones for cheaper than you would find at a fast food establishment.They have a good selection of food items for brunch/lunch as well!

I was visiting Morehead, and wanted to find a bakery. This was ranked among the top so I had to try it. As soon as you walk-in you're hit with the wonderful smell of the food. The place has two rooms filled with goodies. I was greeted as soon as I moved in and was given recommendations. Ultimately I ended up ordering the following items: honeybun cake, chicken salad, no bake chocolate oats cookie, and the croissant breakfast sandwich with sausage patty. I didn't get a chance to try the honeybun cake because my guy ate it lol. Although he did said it was really good. I enjoyed everything else, but the breakfast sandwich was AMAZING!! The croissant was soft and buttery, eggs were scrambled to perfection, and sausage patty is always good! Honestly, happy I don't live in Morehead because this place would take all my money on the croissant alone. lol. Whether you live in Morehead, visiting, or just passing through it is a MUST try!!

I visited on Thursday 8-9-23Let me preface this review with a little backstory. I love butterscotch pie. The best butterscotch pie I've ever had was a homemade one from someone I knew through someone else. I've been on the hunt for a pie as good as that one for years. This lady once sold her pie at an auction for $350 because everyone there knew how good it was. I ain't that rich and my dreams of having her pie faded as the auction price raised. I have tried and reviewed pies from many different bakery's. I really made one lady mad when I said her pie was terrible, but those where the facts. If you'd like some entertainment you can find that review on Facebook and I'll tell ya, the comment section was pretty entertaining. So this isn't my first rodeo reviewing butterscotch pie. I will be brutally honest. Ok, with all that said, if the perfect pie was a 10/10 then this one is a solid 8.5/10. This is the best butterscotch pie I've purchased from any bakery. The only thing I can think I of to make it closer to the "perfect" one I had would be the filling to have added ooey gooey stuff. I wish I could get that old lady pie again, but since I can't this will definitely fill the craving. It is really good. Sometimes I wish I had never had that slice of Heaven because nothing will ever quite live up to it. She nearly ruined all future butterscotch pies. I'm happy I've found a good pie that satisfies the craving. I also tried the sugar cookie - I hear they are famous for these. I'm not a fan of sugar cookies, and this didn't change that for me. If you like sugar cookies I think you will really like them, but they aren't really for me.And yeah, I cried a little as I left that auction and watch that beautiful pie leave with someone else. I'll let ya know when I get over it.

My favorite place in Morehead for sweets. I have loved every single thing I have tried. My dog loves the peanut butter treats! She gets so excited to have one. Very friendly and sweet staff here. They always make my day a little bit happier.

love this place! they have great food and amazing desserts. I have been here quite a few times and have never been disappointed :)

Spent a night in Morehead and we had seen this place on a show.Ordered a grilled Turkey and cheese sandwich.It was delicious.

What they are known for are the bakery items and I'll tell you what... phenomenal. This is the best carrot cake I've ever had in my life. We also got the Artichoke Sandwich and Loaded baked potato soup. The sandwich was very good. However the soup was a little underwhelming, they need to add some flavor! Maybe try Dill. All in all, glad we stopped in.

Everyone knows about the phenomenal sugar cookies, but have you had the cinnamon rolls! Sweet, light and perfect amount of cinnamon! They will even give you additional icing if you think you can handle it... not recommended! The staff are always helpful and will do all they can to help if your needs are immediate! The new big cookie is a game changer for those who want cookie cakes

This is an absolute must stop every time I'm in Morehead. The ice sugar cookies are a family favorite. Chicken salad sandwich is amazing- I've tried and can't replicate either at home. Everyone is super friendly.

Great baked treats. Found this place on accident. Want a real treat. Take home a few cheddar sausage scones!
