Blue Baker = Happiness
Blue Baker is a cornerstone to the College Station eating experience. Every item that they bake is more unbelievable than the next. The soup is also surprisingly tasty. Their pizzas are the best for 100 miles around, and for the price, Blue Baker cannot be beaten. Café Eccell makes mouthwatering pizzas, but charges considerably more. No stop is complete without a chocolate chip cookie. Visit the Blue Baker any time of the day to indulge in some real culinary happiness.
I never tried Blue Baker until today and I LOVE it, I lived in NY for about 23 yrs of my life and the pizza here is a lot better than any I have had in NY. The brick oven creates a unique taste that is better than any pizza in CS. The crust is very thin and crunchy and the taste was just amazing. They also had samples of french bread that was some of the best bread I have ever tasted. A lrg build your own pizza is 9.00 +2.00 for a topping of peperoni. The serving is more than enough for two hungry people. I have seen people get their own pizza but spending about 8.00 and pigging out by yourself doesnt make sense if you can save money by getting a larger one. I will be going back, this is one of the best places I have eaten at in CS.. but VERY packed!!
Just had yet another great experience here. Totally awesome pizza. (See photos). We tried the D'Vinchee with garlic olive oil sauce, mozzarella, Italian sausage, roasted portabella mushrooms, grilled chicken and cilantro.
This place is extremely clean, employees are friendly and seem to be having a good time. It's hard to believe that this is the same Blue Baker as the understaffed, oft filthy one with unhappy employees over on University. In fact the more we see the differences, I'm wondering if the one on University even has the same owner? Certainly not the same management...

This is good and we are fans. This is one of the first places that my wife and I ate at in College… Read more »
Heaven's Gates for Sandwich-Lovers!
Some may dote Blue Baker as somewhat pricey for the average cost of living (after all, I myself, am but a college student)...but it's worth every penny!
I highly recommend the Royal sandwich. Or one of their specialty pizzas. Their cookies are of decent taste (I've had and made better).
Note: This is a hot spot for college students with laptops, and will get even more packed towards the end of each semester.
Top three places in College Station. Their sandwiches are amazing; great bread, fresh meat and vegetables. I have never had the soup, but people seem to enjoy them, and you can have it served in a mammoth bread bowl. They also installed a wood fired oven recently (ha, 2002 I guess) and serve pizzas after 4 or 5. I almost always got the white pizza with chicken. Awesome pizza.
Oh, and don't forget to get a cookie!
One of my favorite places in CS. Good to meet with friends or take family to. It's also good for studying with free wifi and lack of crowds after lunch hours.
They serve sandwiches, soups, salads, pizza (now during lunch), pastries, and loaves of artisan bread (some are dessert bread). They cycle through their specialty bread depending on what day it is and can run out.
The one on Dominik is smaller than the newer one on University but feels brighter and more local. If you have a large group, the newer one might be better to visit.
Blue Baker, I love you.
This spot is so hot in College Station that they just opened a second location on University Avenue. This is a Bakery/Deli/Pizza Joint/Breakfast Spot. They offer excellent veggie options (difficult to come by in this town). You can sit in a booth and use their free wi-fi while you enjoy there delicious soup and sandwich combo. I highly recommend the tomato bisque in their freshly baked bread bowl. Salads can also come in a parmesan cheese bowl...the spinach salad (the baby brutus) is to die for because I love my cheese bowl drenched in the remaining balsamic vinaigrette!
They offer wood fired pizzas, free samples of bread, and giant cookies and brownies for dessert. If you come in wearing a blue outfit, you receive a free menu item. The farther you alter your appearance into smurfdom, the more free food you get! I drove into the parking lot once to see a couple of guys rubbing blue body paint all over their faces and chests only to walk into the restaurant to see that it was an entire large group that had decided to "blue it up" for some free food.
This place never gets old and it's so great that there is an alternative to chain restaurants in CSTX.
Blue Baker has been my saving grace when I simultaneously need a bite to eat and a place to do some homework. I prefer the location on University, as the other one can tend to get a little crowded. If I'm there in the morning, I usually get a delicious egg and cheese on a bagel and a coffee that keeps me full for most of the day. Lunch is turkey time. Always. And Blue Baker's is really good. I also enjoy that I see the same few friendly faces there early in the morning on Mondays, as they've also found out about Blue Baker's great study area and laid back attitude. Blue Baker also has a wood-burning oven for delectable pizzas, though one time the guy behind the counter baked it too much and all the cheese dried up. It was a sad say. This location also sells some international jams, cheeses, and gourmet items that I was entirely shocked to find in good ole CSTX.
Service is generally friendly but you might get a few stares from the older people if your appearance isn't like everyone else's, but I suppose that's a criticism of College Station and not necessarily Blue Baker.
Fresh bread is always a winner. And free samples are even better.
Blue Baker is fantastic because they took great basic ingredients and made boring things delicious. Even the most plain sandwich is heavenly. Everybody loves the pizza there (wood fire oven baked in front of your eyes--can't complain about that!), but the real show stopper is the soup. Get a bread bowl and choose your favorite (mine is the chicken tortilla) and indulge. Heavenly.
Be aware though that they are incredibly busy on Sundays. And I believe they're still doing discounts if you paint yourself blue.
I'm a huge carbo fan. And Blue Baker has some of the best carbs around. Blue Baker combines a funky atmosphere, good food, and an artisan-style bakery to make it one of College Station's coolest eateries.
The menu includes numerous hot and cold sandwhiches on their fresh bread, several soups in either bowls or their bread bowls, as well as some of the best wood fire pizzas I've had.
Breakfast is a treat at Blue Baker as well. My fiance is a fan of their smoked salmon and capers bagel sandwich, while I prefer the simpler everything bagel with light cream cheese. The bagels are still warm, and the bread just has a taste that you can't get anywhere else in town.
Before I leave, I always try to pick up a loaf of the Shiner Bock Beer Bread. It's yeasty, chewy, and delicious.
Not the fanciest place in town, but Blue Baker satisfies by serving quality ingredients on the freshest bread.
This place is outstanding. Great sandwiches, great pastries, and strong, reasonably-priced artisan breads. If you're a bakery fan, this is the place at which you should stop in College Station. Also, as a sidenote, this is where I've met the most New Jersey people around here. So, based on anecdotal evidence, I would say that transplanted tri-staters will feel more at home at the Blue Baker than in most parts of B/CS. I hope that doesn't sound condescending to Texans... I'm just trying to be helpful! Please stop by, too!
