Bella's Cafe & Catering

Editing review. None of the bakery items are actually baked from scratch. Almost nothing is from scratch actually. Too large of a food menu. Food is way too expensive. I would pay 5 dollars maximum for the food, not 9. Whatever drink you get depends on whatever barista you order from. No consistency in anything they serve and no consistency in any information you ask. Heard fighting from the kitchen multiple times as well as yelling in the front of house from the chef. Heard one barista berate another loudly while I and multiple other people were clearly there. There were flies in the bake case on multiple occasions. I saw one barista clean out the seals to a fridge that looked like it had been untouched for half a year. Soup of the day was actually soup of the week, sometimes longer. One day I asked what the soup of the day was and it was Chicken Tortilla. I asked four more days in a row. Still chicken tortilla.
Horrible management. Go to Crema Brew or even Dunkin.

Coffee wasn't great. Ordered a muffin, was asked if I wanted it heated. I answered no, but the muffin was served hot from the microwave. If your going to ask a question, pay attention to what the patron's answer is to your question.

On 8/17/21 a blonde with messy bun made my sandwich and mid-eating I found a hair in it. Everyone in the kitchen had a messy bun with a headband, which doesn't seem to ensure hair won't fall into the food. Braids, bandanas and hats would've prevent that from happening

I love their baked goods and coffee. It's a nice little spot to take a break while downtown.

A really nice place with a number of different items to eat on the menu and a full coffee selection to meet your taste. I recommend this place as it is also very comfort with a relaxed atmosphere.

I had not visited since the ownership change, and was delighted with the warm and cozy atmosphere. Great coffee. Good peeps, and Bella! What's not to love? Here's to the perfect blend.

Great find in New Bern - spacious interior, free WiFi, plenty of outlets, warm atmosphere, relaxed playlist, friendly staff, and good pastries. This is a great spot to sip a coffee and relax.

Usually plenty of parking on the street out front.

Had a good cup of coffee from a unfriendly barista and a $3.74 (tax inc) brownie that was past stale, rock hard. Not much to attract me back.

Wonderful atmosphere, great food and choices. Good coffee and relaxed sitting. Great for starting the day, lunch or even winding down from a busy day! Also great staff!

Very inviting and comfortable atmosphere. Great bakery choices and delightful coffee. Strong WIFI for customers. I'm going back again today - a home away from home!
