Bella's Cafe & Catering

What a super place...and it's right in the heart of New Bern! The iced Chai is so delicious! The chicken gyro is the perfect mix of veggies, chicken and cucumber sauce. But, my favorite is the pumpkin muffin....warm from the oven, plump raisins with just the right amount of icing! The staff is friendly and it has a great atmosphere to sit and relax for a while.

It’s a cute cafe but the workers were not friendly at all!! In fact, the manager or owner came up to us and acted like she was going to help take our order but then said to us that she wasn’t taking out order but wanted to make sure the girl that was helping us wouldn’t get overwhelmed! Wow! What great customer service! Not! I know it’s a busy place but all three acted like we were a bother! The pastries were so so. My recommendation is to try another cafe!

The place was great and had great service. It was a busy Sunday right after church crowd and everyone at Bella’s was quick and so polite while getting your order. The coffee tasted amazing and the croissants were perfect as well. I highly recommend going!

Bella's Cafe is a hidden gem, and despite the aesthetic of downtown New Bern, it offers a quaint and almost busy "big city" vibe. This is definitely like something you would stumble across in Raleigh or Charlotte, except its right here in our small sleepy town.

The coffee is soothing and warm, and the tea is colorful and almost hypnotic. I always find myself ordering the chicken caesar wrap, but the gyro is amazing as well.

This will always be my favorite breakfast and lunch spot, perfect for early morning relaxation, mid-day studying, or just somewhere to catch up with a friend before work.

Absolutely loved this place!!
Had the custom Vegan Burger, the Hummus wrap, PB&J, Flavored Milk Shake, Berry Banana Smoothie.
The cafe is beautiful, plenty of space. Super friendly staff and very fresh ingredients!! Very happy I stopped in with the family.

Oh my goodness. It was amazing. I ordered 2 hot chocolates, one for me one for my daughter. The server added extra milk to cool down my little ones drink. The hot cocoa was on point, btw. The pastries were AMAZING! I went back the next day, and plan to return again! I just wish it were closer to my house...

We have visited this place often over the years through many changes in owner ship. While the interior looks much better, the services was poor, employee taking the order didn't listen, asking us to repeat the order multiple times. The employee making the coffee argued that cafe mocha is not the real name of a coffee even though it's clearly listed on the menu. And they don't offer nonfat or low-fat milk but offer soy, almond, and coconut milk. When we finally did get our order if we black coffee.

The best place to have lunch!
The BLT was absolutely delicious!
And the carrot cake, the best I ever had. Light and fluffy! I highly recommend this place. The staff ( employees) were so sweet , kind and friendly. I will develop back❤️

My wife and I just moved to New Bern. We knew we wanted to frequent this establishment based on our experience from coming here while on vacation in years past. So far, we have been sadly disappointed. Don't get me wrong, we LOVE the atmosphere. The first time we were here (since moving), it was fantastic! The second, the coffee tasted burnt. And the third time, it was basically like drinking steamed milk that had been cooled. Maybe they just need new baristas. I'll try it again, but not anytime soon.

I had a lovely tuna salad, with toasted Asia to bagel, no butter. Food was excellent. The portion size was too large of the salad, had to stuff it down. Drank a nice lemon soda, syrup in club soda, I would drink that again. There are lots of vegetarian options. Interior was neat, clean and a bit more polished than the previous rendition in this space. I will return to try the chicken salad, hopefully with the same bagel!
