18 Best Bakeries in Annapolis

“Best avocado toast hands down. The sourdough is perfection. Chocolate espresso muffin is to die for. The service is always on point! 💜“

“Belle Époque cake was amazing. One of the most delicious things I’ve ever had. Desserts are pleasant and sweet without being overly sugary or sickeningly sweet. Perfect balance of flavors.“

“This place is INCREDIBLE! All the bakery items are delicious! It’s always consistent! It should be studied how delicious the pastries are!!! They have the best almond croissants in Annapolis!! The atmosphere is like Nana’s kitchen. It’s intimate and welcoming!“

“I bought 8 cupcakes for my sisters birthday ! It’s so cute inside . The cupcakes were amazing . I met the sweet owner. She gave me a sample of her homemade ice cream. Wow!!! I Will definitely be going back. My sisters are both excited as well. I’m going to tell as many people as possible. The service was great. The young woman who waited on me was very friendly and helpful. A wonderful experience all around.
Thank you
Annie~“

“We finally got to try Sweet slice tonight and everything was amazing! the staff was super friendly and we can’t wait to come back and try more yummy treats!“

“Five star rating for the pastries and desserts and breads. I didn’t try any beverages so I can’t speak to those this time. It was a cute little environment. I’m slightly confused by the decor, but not mad at it. There’s a lot to look at and a lot of options so take your time before you choose. I really don’t think you could go wrong as long as you stick to your own flavor profile. I enjoyed a Yuzu cheesecake and a lemoncello cake. Both were incredible.“

“Very busy/crowded but super worth it. Very happy with my purchase…. LOVE IT! Ordered online ahead of time, about 30 minutes or so before i got there. Still took an extra 40 minutes and there was rowdy teenagers inside as well, can’t expect much though.“

“We have a Massage studio in Annapolis, MD. Last week Neel Garg generously, and unexpectedly, brought over two free boxes of AMAZING mini bundt cakes. They were out of this world! What an excessively kind gesture! We would highly recommend them! 🙂“

“Where can you pick up the best Tres Leches Cake in a cup?! The Corner Bakery!!“

“First time trying your sourdough bread and omg I’m in LOVE!“

“Selecting the Palate Pleasers was above and beyond the best choice we made for our wedding day. Amy was so kind and truly made us feel special on our wedding day. We had a few rough ideas of what we wanted, but her suggestions really made our menu come together perfectly. The food was so delicious, our guests raved about it. My husband and I ate the leftovers for a week straight and were still sad when we ran out. I truly can't thank Amy and Eric more, we will absolutely be coming back to Annapolis for their food again!“

“The food is very delicious but the waitresses are kind of turtles when family arrives but when a handsome man arrives even the food arrives quickly ? and I say this because I have seen it the times I have been there, otherwise cleanliness and comfort are excellent“

“I regularly visit both the café and dining locations, and both have a wonderful ambiance for solo working (reading, studying, etc.), as well as meeting with friends for coffee. Scrumptious and interesting food fare, and truly warm and memorable service. Everyone I’ve interacted with has been lovely, but special mention to Eric, Daniel, and Grant, whose hospitality has been inviting and impeccable every time. Always looking forward to my next visit!“

“The owners are amazing! The staff is absolutely stellar and the treats and drinks are out of this world!! ASK THEM ABOUT THEIR WINe!!“

“I’d give it 6 stars if I could. Looks like a bookstore from the outside, but guess what?! Well. It kind of is a bookstore. Because it’s IN a bookstore. But that’s part of its charm. The coffee is great, obviously. And they have tea. Just don’t you dare ask for chamomile. Or if you’re feeling playful, you can always get some hot choccy. They’re always playing great music too. A fantastic atmosphere. I go in every single day with my laptop to do some work and I swear, I accomplish more in one hour than a college kid on Adderall cramming at 4am for an 8am final. The real absolute rockstar of the show, though, is Madison. I think she might actually be superhuman. Once I ordered something and she told me no, I don’t want that, and then made me something else. And you know what? She was absolutely right. It’s like she was able to take her hand and reach it into the deep, dark recesses of my soul and somehow know more about me and what I want than I’ve ever known about myself my whole life. I will never question her on anything again. If you’re in Annapolis for even just one day, this place is a must stop. Just don’t come when I’m there, I’m trying to get some work done.“

“I had to take a moment to share my incredible experience at Auntie Anne’s in the Annapolis Mall — all thanks to an amazing employee named Sedarus. I was honestly having a rough day. You know the kind of day where everything just feels off? But then I walked up to Auntie Anne’s, and Sedarus completely turned things around.

From the second I approached the counter, he greeted me with the kindest smile and a genuinely welcoming attitude. You could tell he truly enjoys what he does and cares about every customer that walks up. He didn’t just take my order — he made me feel seen. He talked to me with real warmth, asked how my day was going, and cracked a few light jokes that honestly lifted my mood in a way I really needed.

Not only that, but the way he was handling the rush of customers was beyond impressive. He was moving fast, staying organized, multitasking like a pro — all while keeping that same positive energy. You could tell other customers were enjoying his vibe too. He never once seemed overwhelmed or frustrated. He made it look effortless, even though I know it wasn’t.

My pretzel was hot, fresh, and absolutely perfect — but Sedarus was the real reason this visit stood out. In a world where good service is becoming rare, he went above and beyond. He made my day better with kindness, efficiency, and genuine care.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Sedarus is the kind of employee every business hopes to have. Thank you for reminding me how powerful a small act of kindness can be.“

“Since checking this place out, I have become a regular customer, and now come in 1-2x a week for a grocery restock. I have had no time to cook since the new year and had been eating out almost every meal.... but there are so few places around with healthy options. I am so picky about what fruits and veggies, organic items, etc. that I eat, and thankfully sprouts has provided great options for that! The baristas/cashiers are always so helpful and kind to us. Some of my favorites are-- ALL of the soups (seriously that chicken and rice is perfection, especially if you are under the weather), turkey chili, thai wrap, veggie wrap, egg roll in a bowl, drunken noodles, bbq chicken and succotash, the vitality ginger drink (that spice burns but feels good!), the challah and sourdough bread, eskimo bites for a treat, and the strawberry blondie brownies! I am trying new things as the menu changes, but these have been on my constant restock when available of what I have had so far!! I recently learned they can heat the items for you, so you can eat a hot meal there (I have not done this yet myself, as this is like grocery shopping for me so i take it home... but i have seen lots of people in there enjoying their meals!) I have seen some complain about the prices, but if you know the quality of what you are getting (local, organic), then you would realize these are very fair prices! If I have ever wanted to request something or had a slight issue, Sprouts has always been more than happy to accommodate. Thank you Sprouts for providing great service and food options to the community! You will see me again soon! Gluten free, Dairy free, or Flexitarian, check them out!“
