Bakeries near Crofton

“Another example of the adage: great things come in small packages. I had been to three stores looking for almond bark to no success. I remembered that there was a candy store in Crofton that someone told me about at the gingerbread contest at Darnall Chance. So me and my son went there and after explaining to the owner what I was trying to make with the almond bark, she explained to me that that is mainly a Midwestern thing and suggested a substitute that would work just as well. The shop is very small but everything you need appears to be right there. And the owner couldn't be be kinder. We were engaged in a lengthy conversation about the gingerbread house competition in Upper Marlboro and it was really funny. It was nice to talk to her and the conversation just brightened our day because.......nobody talks to anybody anymore.“

“Today we visited for the first time! Newbies to making our own Boba tea but also not super experienced in it in general. The owner was there and was so kind and walked us through the process. Offered samples of any tea we wanted, gave ideas for mixes based on general flavors we liked, and made suggestions we had not considered that turned out to make the drink so much better. He helped my 7 year old put hers together and let her do it. Made her feel special! He was overall such a nice guy and great to chat with. The place is super clean and welcoming and there are a ton of board games and several arcade type games to play. Such a great environment for the whole family. Everything was tasty and super affordable AND they offer a great military discount which was a fun bonus. I can see my family coming back many times for fun drinks and some quality game time together.“

“I had been wanting to try this place out for a while. I went here for the first time on Saturday to get some work done. It was pretty busy & in the midst of me heading out after grabbing my order, I left my laptop case with my laptop & notebook inside. I didn’t even realize until the following evening. I went back Monday, spoke with Mykaleigh (not sure if I’m spelling that right), she called the manager that was in that Saturday & she came out the office with my laptop. I was soooo happy! Thank you to the team at Black Market and whoever found it to be kind enough to turn it in. We got a good laugh out of it & I got to try the Carrot Cake Scone Will definitely be back!“

“First time here at Dessert Junkie. This spot is nothing short of ADORABLE. The owner Alexis has one of the best customer service experience I’ve experienced in a long time. She let us sample anything we wanted and was very patient as we were undecided. I’ve found my new dessert home. Now the desserts….THE BOMB and the variety is exceptional. I’m coming back. Oh and we even got to tour the kitchen.“

“I tried Blondies Doughnuts for the first time today and I LOVED them. I got the Snickerdoodle, Nutella Filled and the Banana Pudding doughnuts. As well as a Grandmas Sweet Roll cinnamon bun. Everything was so fresh and tasted delicious. Definitely going to make my way back to the Farmers Market for them again!!“

“Awesome experience for my daughters birthday cake!! It looked amazing and tasted even better. Will be back for many more!! Kept in touch very well With very fast response time. No disappointment here. The whole party was asking about her !!“

“I had heard about this from a former coworker. Husband and I tried it for breakfast to go. The pastries looked great. I got the PB&J croissant and my spouse had the almond croissant. His was ready within two minutes. I had to wait on mine. And wait. I asked and was told "We'll call you when it is ready!". After 15 minutes I asked, loudly, where was my order? The staffer said "Oh it's here". It had been there the whole time. Now it was lukewarm. But it was delicious. Thus 4 stars. The staff should not act aloof. You work in a bakery, not Harrods! And take off the AirPods! It's a bad look in customer service. A tweek on service attitude and this place will be perfect ! . This place is open on Sundays.“

“I ordered a custom cake for a friends birthday and the customer service, communication and the cake was top tier. I felt like the whole process was smooth and the cake looked exactly like what I asked for! It also was delicious! Will be ordering again!!“

“The varied assortment of cookies is very appealing. I find myself looking at the menu more often than I'd like. Additionally, the store smells delicious. I'm very happy that customers can purchase the mini cookies because it allows for a ton of calories to be saved!“

“Best specialty coffee in the area. The espresso is really good. They know how to pull really good shots of espresso. I believe the owner is the only one who works the cafe so it takes a couple minutes for him to attend you but its worth it. Very nice person!Pistachio latte is really goood! Black sesame latte too (if you like nutty peanut butter flavors).“

“The BREAD!!! If you know, you know.........we have loved the food and service from Bon Fresco for many years and both are absolutely spectacular. Everyone raves about the london broil sandwich (rightfully so) but all their sandwiches, salads, soups, and deserts have been top notch.“

“This was my first time here and the cakes are delicious! But the most impressive about this experience was the customer service. I was greeted, walked through the process, given tons of samples and they even loaded the car for me so the cake that I ordered would transport safely.This place is almost 40 minutes away from where I live, but totally worth the trip! I will return often!!!“

“The shop owner was very friendly, sweet, and personable. There are tables and chairs available. There were doughnuts, muffins, cookies, and breakfast/lunch food options. The food was good and hot.Parking: Two sides of parking in a shopping center“

“I am soo impressed on this cake that they made for my daughter (theme mermaid) my yunger sibling bought cupcakes for her baby shower couple of years back When I had one of those I fell in love ! I found my new cake/cupcake team!Thank you sooo much!!! We will see u again.“

“I absolutely love this little bakery! The cakes, postres, and treats are so good! They are visually so pretty and large portioned as well! I love to stop in here for any of our sweet tooth needs and for some delicious sweet breads! They have a small refrigerator with milks and cheeses where I can find my favorite cream and Oaxaca cheese! The prices for their cakes are absolutely awesome! You get a much more personalized feeling than if you were to pick one up at a random grocery store.The people here are so kind! I love the opportunities to practice my Spanish and they are always welcoming! I’ve been to places who would ignore me for trying to speak Spanish without being Hispanic. But this place is not like that at all!They also do some hot foods and have a little coffee bar set up! So glad we found this spot!“

“The cake we ordered was incredible. It looked magical and tasted out of this world. We asked 4 other bakeries to make the cake we wanted and each one denied us because it was out of their skill set. Sweet Eden was up for the challenge and they did not disappoint! Highly recommend!!“

“How can I rave about them even more than I have in the last 24 hours. I had an issue and needed 33 cake pops made same day and like she had to start on them as soon as we got off the phone for them to be done in time. The owner was so nice and so helpful. She literally saved the day. The prices are more then fair and they not only were a hit but everyone at the party was gushing about them. So for now on she has our business and it seems like everyone at the party as well.. Thank you again for being the superhero and 10/10 will always recommend.“

“AMAZING!!!!!! I still need to stop in the Annapolis store to personally see our delivery driver. I missed her when she dropped off... These cakes will have you in a chokehold.... The Columbia location is great as well ... Thank you guys for some amazing cakes....“

“I gave it a 4 star bc I haven't had my beautiful confection as yet. Love this farely new addition to the Bowie Town Center. Funny thing is I've passed by here ant not really noticed it bc it's in a location of another bakery that has since moved on. So I had stopped looking. But I happen to park rufht in front and was pleasantly pleased to see such sweet amazement staring back at me.Do stop on by they have so much to offer in speciality bakes for your occasion or your a quickbite.As it says on its walls "Life is too short to skip cake"“

“I have had numerous cakes made for my baby showers, gotten cupcakes for my birthday and the finished product is always beyond my wildest imagination. The cakes are such works of art and the taste is phenomenal. Highly recommend Sweet Slice Cakery for their professionalism, cleanliness, deliciousness and promptness to respond and turn around a complete product beyond your expectations.“

“Located on the ground floor at the back of the building near the large parking lot. Follow the sweet smelling aroma to this place. Everything I tried tasted great. Will definitely be back.Parking: Plenty of street parking in addition to the parking lot.“

“The people are so nice here! The mocha cookie dough treat was amazing! That was my favorite. Definitely eat the cinnamon rolls fresh and warm to get the full effect. I wasn't a fan of the banana, but I generally don't like banana flavored things. For banana, though, it was done well. The berry bun was delicious!“
