Baker Commons - Berkeley

Recommended by our nurse who overheard our conversation post checkup and chipped in gasping with full blown passion “you guys looking for a bakery nearby? Baker Commons!”So 5 minutes later we met this neighborhood gem a vivid yellow little beautiful bakery at the corner of Russell College.It’s not the everything perfect type of bakery that wows you with flawlessness, but it’s charming nonetheless exactly because of its laidback attitude and the tolerance of imperfection just like HOME. You care less, because you can be real.It features home baking goods, in pan, in tray, in down to earth paper cups and containers; its latte is in a bowl (kinda cute); it picks seasonal fruits and turns them into golden shiny turnover; it slices tiramisu upon order.Dog friendly. Kid friendly. Book nerd friendly. Life long relationship friendly.If you didn’t fall in love at first glance here, that’s fine, you will gradually sink in, gently.

Fine for the moment but the prices are preposterous for the regular food and service you get

The lunch I had was so good, I can’t wait to come back and try breakfast.

A friend and I go at least once a month, we both love it! We are both entrepreneurs and we have dubbed Baker Commons our Biscuit Board Meeting spot. B C has a real Creative vibe that lends itself to our creativity.

Food seemed a bit overpriced. The biscuit is delicious, but the sandwiches are small and the soup was okay. Scones were decent. I didn't order any drinks.Update from August 2023: they don't have WiFi!
