Root-A-Bakers Bakery & Cafe

Worth the detour!! We read about this place online and, in spite of the high accolades, it exceeded our expectations! In our group we had the Broccoli Cheese soup, the Sweet and Smokey Turkey and Bacon Over My Hammy sandwiches and the Chicken Salad Garden Salad. Everything was exceptional. Ingredients were fresh, staff was patient and helpful and it had a varied selection. The home baked items were wonderful! Don't miss this gem!

Great Gourmet Style BLT. Went as a group and we all really enjoyed the food. Great atmosphere. Be prepared to carry out, eat on the porch or in the yard. Baked Goods we're all amazing quality. Parking and seating are limited so plan ahead.

Amazing cookies and one of the best sandwiches I’ve had in my life! They are also super sweet and give you a free sugar cookie on your first visit. Definitely will be coming back when we are in town!

This is such a great little, hidden gem 💎 in Morehead, KY. Very friendly staff! Great assortment of fresh baked products! Absolutely love their cheddar & herb bread 🍞 😋 Highly recommended! Next visit I will sample their sandwiches 🥪

Probably the best cinnamon roll that I’ve ever had. Delicious dough that was made of a bread-style base (not, thank goodness, from overly rich, sugary brioche or something), perfectly complemented by the thick cream cheese frosting on top, and the swirls of cinnamon inside. Loved it. A perfect, authentic piece of baking delight.
Charming, cost atmosphere at the bakery, too.

We absolutely love this place.. we eat here pretty regular ..The people are so friendly .. When the owner is there she always talks to customers.. The food is amazing .. We usually get chicken salad and pasta salad both are great.sweat tea is spot on.. and the butterscotch pie and sugar cookies is amazing.. we always get them for holidays and birthdays instead of cake and it’s always a hot .. just a all around great place ..

So surprised to find this unique spot has so few reviews. After traveling all over the lower 48, I will have to say Root-A-Bakers is in our top nationwide picks overall. From the friendly staff, appearance and most of all the delicious array of offerings, it's unparalleled. We had the bacon and spinach quiche, along with the choose three salads. We chose chicken, pimento cheese and pasta. Also tried the loaded potato salad and broccoli and cauliflower salad. Breads are baked daily and offerings include cheddar herb and cranberry walnut. We did not have a bad bite. And the desserts are "to die for." We tried the famous sugar cookies and the scones. If you're looking for a breakfast scone, try the sausage and cheddar one. It's unbelievable and not hard like typical sconces. So delicious! This place is so much more than a bakery. You will not leave hungry, portions are huge and you'll have a smile on your face!

They said, “would you like a fork?” Listen here… That chocolate pie needs to come with a fork already in it.

Absolute best dessert I’ve ever eaten!!!! So so good. We actually asked if the display pie was fake. Nope, it wasn’t. Crazy crazy good.

My first time ever going, and as soon as I walked in, I was immediately greeted with a warm welcome and smile! I told her I had never been there, and she quickly got me a menu, showed me around, and explained what everything was to me. (And she also gave me 2 free cookies😊) She was very friendly and playful with my baby daughter. And to top off my experience, the food was delicious, and the sweets were even better. Great prices! I loved my first experience! I highly recommend this place and their summer salad with strawberry poppyseed dressing! Thank Root a Bakers for the amazing experience!

Great place for lunch! Large portions, everything's homemade and delicious. Save room for dessert. I had coconut cream pie that was still warm from baking that morning -- my favorite food and it was definitely the best I ever tasted! Make reservations -- We almost didn't get our party of four seated at 11 am because there was a large party in the second seating area.
