“What a find. Lots of good bakeries but this place is elite. There’s always a line out the door as there are specific times in the day the breads will be baked. Check their website for details. Otherwise you very well could end up getting there when no inventory is left. This place is awesome.“
“The customer service here is phenomenal. They ship fast and the cookies taste amazing! Don't want to eat the cookies right away? Fine. The way they're packaged allows them to still taste just as fresh 1-2 weeks later when refrigerated The company is very communicative and the designs are outstanding.“
“I stopped at Morning Mugs Coffee before an Orioles game (Go O’s) and it was the perfect cup of coffee before a game. The cafe was vibrantly decorated, with a relaxing outside seating area out front. All the pastries were fresh and delicious. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Just a great spot for the City of Baltimore.“
“Quality food, good ambience. Our standby for 40 years had been Ikaros a block away, but the owner had to close due to health problems. This was recommended to us as the new best, and it didn’t disappoint. Wine, saganaki and moussaka were all incredible. Wish I had tried the calamari. Only thing that was not incredible was the bread served at table. I’m a bread snob, and while this wasn’t awful, it was merely ok. I would have preferred a thicker, fresher bread and olive oil for dipping, or traditional greek flat bread.“
“Best croissant I've ever tasted, and I spent two weeks in Paris. The focaccia was to die for, and the baguette was over the top. The ethical standards they uphold in both sourcing ingredients and selling are the highest. Even the cocoa, coffee and chai were all delicious. I look forward to sampling the entire menu. Run, don't walk to Motzi Bread.Vegetarian options: to my knowledge this is a vegan bakery“
“The food is amazing and the employees are always so nice! Prices are also very fair. Have been twice in the last week lol. Eat in gets chips and salsa along with a bit of ice cream at the end which is a great touch. Would highly recommend to anyone who would listen!“
“Our cake was absolutely amazing! Sarah was great with communication and really easy to work with. We requested a strawberry shortcake with fresh strawberries and a custom icing design, and she did such a wonderful job. I (the bride) was the only vegan at the wedding, and everyone said it was one of the best wedding cakes they've ever had. I highly recommend Sarah if you're looking for something delicious and allergen friendly!“
“What a find! When in Baltimore’s Little Italy be sure to stop in at the Ovenbird Bakery! They are super friendly & helpful and their bread is delicious! I’d recommend the olive sourdough bread. I’ve been toasting mine and eating it with a variety of toppings. Yum!They have sandwiches and other bread choices... Be aware that the deli closes at 3:00 and that discounts on some purchases occur after 2:00. There is also “day old” bread that you can purchase. If it isn’t sold, they donate it. Isn’t that wonderful?! I myself, love to make homemade croutons or bruschetta.Street parking availability depends on the day & time.I’d suggest making a day of your visit to Little Italy.Parking: Free street parking during the day not far from the bakery.“
“This must be a popular place as two different Baltimore friends have brought me here. The first time, we came in the late afternoon and almost everything was out. This time, we got here earlier. I was told to get the quesadillas! Interestingly, they were nothing like quesadillas. They seemed like little circular corn muffins with some cheese. They were very moist and delicious. I never leave a bakery with just one type of item. The cronuts were good. They were a little sweeter than I would like. What stole the show was the cream puff. It's hard to make bad cream puffs. I appreciated that the cream was not too sweet at all.“
“I ordered a 24 pack of mini cupcakes for my sister’s birthday and they were a hit! The owner was quick to respond to my emails and was very easy to communicate with. The cupcakes were so moist and you could tell that they were baked with love. Would most definitely recommend for parties, or just for a sweet snack!“
“Great place for pizza pickup. We ordered the spicy pepperoni, chicken, and half and half for take away. All were fantastic. The crust is a highlight, perfect mix of crispy, chewy, and char that rivals the best crust in the city. The pizza is pricy but well worth the cost.“
“It's still really cool inside, booth style Markets. Many little tightly wound eating spots squished into a smaller space. Takes you back years . A neat own version of cross street market, Broadway Market etc.Parking: Parking is free on the lot. But however 2 hr time limit is enforced“
“Not only is this place clean & fun, but their produce is terrific and their baked goods are as tasty as they are varied.Update: Feb 2024:One thing that never ceases to impress me is how the management of this store is ALWAYS looking for ways to improve the store and the experience. The latest configuration of the store is streamlined and roomier which comes in handy when the vast swirling hordes of eager customers descend at busy times. If they are that aware and innovative about space & flow, it can't help to carry over to other areas such as in store baked goods. It's a wonder when a group with outstanding products is always seeking ways to improve existing & initiate new!“
“The pastries all look so incredible but be prepared to pay quite a bit for them. The coffee and drinks are more reasonably priced so I’d recommend going there and just getting drinks and maybe splitting one of their pastries. They had a fair crowd on a Sunday morning but didn’t take too long to get our food and drinks. I see this more of a special occasion or date spot.“
“We have been going to the yummery for about 5 years now. We get our kids birthday cakes from Christi every year and every year she takes our vision for the cake and makes it a reality. The cakes are absolutely amazing and delicious. We also like to stop in to grab cupcakes or cake pops and my husband loves the chocolate covered Oreos. Whatever you get you won’t be disappointed I can assure you that!“
“Awesome business, awesome people! I spoke with Swati about getting a cake for my dog with very short notice, much less than 24 hrs and she accommodated me. She had the cake ready the next morning. She had several options to choose from, which was great. The prices were very fair! I had asked about the calorie count the night before and they didn’t know off hand, no big deal. When I picked up the next morning they had the info for me. I love that sort of attention to detail. My dog loved it! Thank you so much! I’ll be back for treats very soon. If you love spoiling your pup, and want to support a local family business, you can’t do much better than VS.“
“3.5 I ordered the classic with the cream cheese topping. It was a rookie mistake. Their bun is very mild & plain with light cinnamon filling so it would go along with the fruit or other toppings they offer. The other options there look pretty fun and probably would have better fulfilled my dreams for a gooey experience ....Like the strawberry shortcake or caramel apple, in retrospect those looked really amazing.“
“Food and service are all impeccable, but I really have to hand it to them, the atmosphere here is on point. I feel like I'm in the Twin Peaks diner whenever I'm there eating pie and sipping on coffee.It's homey, it's cozy, it feels like a staple of the community with the dog treats and local coffee. I wish they had more flexible hours, because I usually can't stop in after work. However, as Saturday morning treat, there's no where better to get savory and sweet pies.“
“I LOVE Codetta Bake Shop and everything about them. I have been ordering a cheesecake from Sumayyah for the last couple of years because my little sister specifically requests it every time she visits me from out of town. It is so so rich and delicious. This year, Sumayyah was so kind and delivered the cheesecake to me in a pinch which was so helpful. Highly recommend picking up some baked goods from Codetta for any occasion. Also- if her annual cookout comes around again this summer- DO NOT MISS IT! It was fantastic!“
“Great food and amazing service!!! I had the Drummies, cauliflower, Mac, and lemon cake. Everything was fresh and tasty. The Mac was a stand out because they make their cheese from scratch! The drummies were so good I didn't even need sauce (they provided plenty though)! CS“
“I love supporting small businesses and the confetti cake bar makes good cupcakes! The cake is really fluffy, spongy and delicious and I'm more of a frosting girl usually. The frosting had much to be desired and they're a bit overpriced overall. If they were equally as good I'd be willing to pay more. However, they lots of flavor options and a very friendly staff.“
“Stopped in the first time for a quick lunch. The cheesy grilled cheese and the Italian cold cut was amazing ! Very relaxing atmosphere. Beautiful decor. Friendly staff.The second time we came for breakfast, we had bacon egg and cheese on English muffins.The sandwiches were very tasty, and the English muffins were delicious! Great service and food , you can’t beat that.We can’t wait to come back , maybe for some bar food and a glass of wine.“
“Chain-store vibes but a better selection and quality than your Panera's. Harbor location is very nice.Vegetarian options: Their only vegan friendly item according to the server was, iirc, the focaccia bread. Plenty of non-meat dishes for vegetarians.“
“I absolutely love the place. If you have a sweet tooth, it’s the place. I would recommend Tres leches cake and waffles with fruits( my personal favorites). I like the breakfast menu too!!! Coffee is also great! The Valentine’s Day cakes and cookies looked and tasted so delectable.“
“After being newly assigned to the Essex precinct I noticed this hidden gem while on patrol one day. When I finally got the opportunity to stop by I was not disappointed.I've only lived in Maryland since 2015, so I haven't tried them all, but I will say this is the best pit beef I've had since moving to the East Coast.Not only was the food excellent, but the gentlemen running the place are friendly, engaging, and really let you know how much they appreciate your patronage.This place is definitely worth traveling to if you're in the market for a good pit beef sandwich. The pit beef and fries are the only menu items I've had a chance to try, but if they put as much into the rest of the menu as the items I've tried, I'm sure they're excellent.“
“Went to Cakes in the City when my boss needed a large sheet cake for his mom's surprise party - Cassaundra was amazing at making the design requests come to life and my boss swears it's the best cake he's ever had :) highly recommend for anyone looking for friendly, efficient, and caring service in the DMV area!!“
“Ordered a fabulous chocolate tart and box of cookies for the holidays. My guests raved about the quality. The icing on the cake is how kind and thoughtful the owners were working with me and it was all prepared at a reasonable cost point. Can't wait to order again!“

“Lena really made our dreams come true when we said, “a bluey cake in the shape of a number 2” for our son. She HAND MADE bluey cut outs and even his name ALL over it! Everyone at the party raved and THEY. WERE. STUNNINGLY. DELICIOUS . Thank you thank you THANK “
“I recently discovered Fenwick Bakery, and I couldn't be more thrilled with my find. The custard Danish at this bakery has become an absolute favorite of mine.The delectable pastries are not only mouthwateringly delicious but also reasonably priced, making it a fantastic choice for a sweet treat without breaking the bank. The service is impressively quick, ensuring that you can satisfy your craving without a long wait.If you're a fan of pastries and appreciate quick service with a friendly touch, this bakery is a must-visit.“
“I am hooked. I love love the Bundt carrot cake. I actually happened upon them because a restaurant was carrying the carrot cake Bundt cake for twice the price. I drove to meringue cake studio since I was going to be in the white marsh area. I go there and I am mesmerized.looking at the pastries and then getting the carrot cake Bundt cake.“
“The kindest French lady, I assume manager was so nice to everyone, being good to customers beyond what's expected seems such a rarity these days. The best establishments have the best people. Delicious food also.Parking: Metered parking on the street.“
“We decided to randomly doordash a sweet the other night and were excited to find them on doordash. I’ve had the ice cream when at the Avenue but never the cupcakes. OH MY GOD. These were to die for. They didn’t taste quickly manufactured or dry like some cupcake shops. They tasted like so much time and effort was put into keeping them moist, tasting amazing and looking amazing. Can’t wait to get them again!“
“I wish I could give Vaccaro's 10 stars. It is one of the best Italian pastry shops in the country. I was in Baltimore for three days and went there every day. Their Napoleons are decadent. The cookies are prepared with wonderful flavors and choices. My fiancé loves the cookies with the sprinkles on them shaped as stars or hearts. I love the pine nut cookies . The Chocolate eClair is massive but amazing. I start by cutting it up and take a week to eat it. It is about 12 inches long. We got chip at dips for the cannolis and also an apple eclair and gelato. there's something for everyone. Highly recommend stopping here anytime“
“I loveeee me some Atwater's and their Belvedere location is spacious and has quite a bit of outdoor seating. I tend to order over the phone for pick up and they're always polite and quick which is perfect for on the go! Just wish they would branch out into the white marsh area :)“
“I had a peice of baklava from Double T diner on Belair Rd last night and it was the BEST baklava I've ever had and Ive tried a lot of baklava cause its one of my favs. My sister and father agreed. Double T told me it comes from Yia Yias and I just had to give you your flowers. So good!! “

“Fun place. As a Caucasian, it's easy to feel intimidated by this joint. Don't be. Excellent cheeses, all sorts of chilis and peppers both fresh and canned and a lot more. Get some tacos and tortes from the cantina. Get your Mexican coke and jarritos fix here too. Sunday's they have carnitas and consume in hot pots in front of the meat counter and I'm only scratching the surface of this place. Also, about 200 piñatas hang from the ceiling for your next party.“
“Great coffee shop. Friendly staff. Love the entire menu - I've had it all. Fantastic scones and muffins for breakfast. Every sandwich and salad they have for lunch are worth a try. They have a "picante" option for sandwiches that adds spicy roast veggies. I do wish they had soup, but you have lots of great menu options.“
“Amazing customer service, amazing product, amazing prices! I highly recommend! I will continue to use Keyaira Kakes for all my kids birthdays and all events I host. I have never been more happy and satisfied! Keep up the amazing work! You’re gonna go far! Thank you for such an amazing experience ❤️“
“Love the ambience in the morning! Delicious food! I loved the avocado toast! With a side of bacon!! Kate was the best with her recommendations of chocolate latte! And the donuts and croissants were fabulous!!! Paired with a chocolate martini!!! Good morning Baltimore!!!! Fabulous customer service!!“
“I order pupusas, sopes, enchiladas, gorditas and birria tacos. Every single dish was delicious and authentic. The sauces and tortillas are all homemade. Highly recommend this restaurant. The staff was friendly and they seem to be a popular spot in the community. Loved this food! Thanks for a great dinner.“
