50 Best Bakeries in Baltimore

“This is an absolutely delightful place. It has indoor and outdoor seating with a very cozy atmosphere. The food was very good and the service very pleasant. The buttermilk biscuits sound simple, but they’re a delicious and filling option if you’re looking for something that’s not too sweet. The neighborhood (36th St) offers a lot of interesting places to check out, too.“

“If you have gluten or dairy allergies, this place is Heaven! My daughter swears the staff here are magical fairies because no human can make food this good that is GF and DF! Beyond that, they also have the best customer service of anyone around! Cannot recommend this place highly enough! Everything we have had here has been amazing!“

“I ordered a cookie bouquet this morning and received outstanding customer service from the Belair location. They were courteous and contacted me in a timely manner following my request for follow-up information. The owner made sure the delivery went out as expected. This was my first experience with this location and it exceeded my expectations, and my friend was extremely pleased with her cookie bouquet. Great experience!“

“I come here every now and then and i must say out of all the cafes with baked goods in baltimore. This cute cafe tucked away in the ambassador apartments has the best savory breakfast pastries. There cakes and sweet pastries are phenomenal as well. The matcha cheesecake is bar none. And the coffee is solid too. I have no idea why anyone would ever choose to go to a chain like starbucks. Support your local economy.“

“Just drove 45 minutes to pick up the best Tres Leches cake in Baltimore! The staff was warm and friendly and we couldn't resist sitting for a fresh coffee and amazingly delicious cronuts!“

“Incredible bread! So delicious, and a gift to have in the neighborhood“

“I wasn’t disappointed in the pizza - it was very good, but with this being my first time ordering from there, I was disappointed that the pizza wasn’t hot. You can’t call in to order and have to order online. It tells you a pickup time. We arrived exactly at the pickup time and the pizza was warm but not hot. The app doesn’t seem to properly track the order, as it said the order was not yet even being prepared when we tried to track it (pizza was ready). I’m not sure if I’ll go back for this reason.“

“I was looking for a birthday cake last minute for my pup’s birthday. I called around and most places were unable to accommodate me due to the tight turnaround time. That’s when I reached out to VS Doggy Treats on Google. I spoke with the owner and she was so sweet and more than happy to take my order. She made the cake in literally one day! I was so happy. When I went to pick up the cake, she even threw in some organic treats for my pup. The owner is such a sweet soul and she deserves more business. Her customer service is top tier! Thank you again. My dog loved her cake 🩷🩷“

THOUSANDS of photos and videos of prepubescent children and toddlers. I'm all for hiring felons, but not when those felons endanger children. The name of the employee is Charles Pijanowski. I might come back, but only after you fire the pred.“

“I recently read an article that said the best bakery in Maryland is Ovenbird. They are wrong. IT IS THIS PLACE. Fantastic bakery -- the croissants are fabulous. If I had to critique the place it would be they need a 2nd barista, or a cheap intercom system. The tiny place only holds 6 people (and a dog!) and 5 of those are standing around waiting for their coffee.“

“Best Bakery try the smoked salmon on a wheat croissant“

“the desserts were amazing and my kids loved it“

“I would recommend to invest in a more durable cup for the hot beverages the cup was practically melting away and my cappuccino was very hot I had to throw it away the cup was so weak I couldn’t hold it…. Overall the chocolate cake was delicious and amazing I just love it 🎂“

“They never disappoint!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“What an amazing job Fenwick bakery did for a recent event I had. I called and asked for King cake for a New Orleans theme and they nailed it. Not only was it delicious but the customer service was outstanding. Thank you Carol for going above and beyond I highly recommend them for any occasion.“

“Great place!! Pastries are super:)“

“The best cookies ever! I love berger! I love that they're a Maryland staple. They're sweet but not too sweet, enough to fill that sweet tooth! Every time I see them in a store I buy two packs at a time. Maryland Pride! ❤❤❤❤“

“Delivery appt for 9 AM I arrived at 4:30. Park in the street. I talked to one employee and he told me will unload you at 7. ???. You can arrived very early and park in same ST. Just don’t block gate. Also fast and friendly and free bagels “

“I was there last Thursday and the manager was seriously so sweet. Went above and beyond in service!! Was so sweet to the baby and the dogs. Sooo kind. Made the experience amazing“

“The salmon is sooooooo GOOD!“

“They have PROPER pastries. Freshly made, not disgustingly sweet like the grocery store ones. I especially like the pear tart. So delicate and refreshing. Items are a bit pricey, but on par with other pastry places in the DMV area. I will definitely come here regularly to support local bakery shops like this. So hard to find authentic French pastry shops in Baltimore, gotta keep it going.“

“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 ❤️“

“Superior staff and the food is great. A wonderful atmosphere too boot. Can’t wait to visit again. Bon & Moon Halstead“

“The aroma of freshly baked bread fills the air, inviting you inside. Sweet pastries glisten under the warm light, promising a delightful treat. From traditional conchas to savory cakes , the selection offers something for everyone. Each bite is a testament to the baker's skill and passion. It's a place where you can savor the authentic flavors of Mexican baking.“

“My friend purchased the sweet potato cake for my birthday and it is heaven! Definitely recommend this place!“

“The only place to go for the freshest of bread. The Tsourekia (sweet bread) has my tastebuds on cloud with the perfect balance of sweet and soft. Made a mistake trying to bake my own. I know where I’ll be getting all my baked breaded goods from here on out. Tasos greeted me with open arms and made it a fun visit.“

“We held a luncheon for family and friends after a special event and could not have been happier with how it went. We called ahead a.few minutes before all 15 of us showed up and the staff didn't skip a beat. They graciously and quickly got us seated by combining tables together. Our waiter Noah was kind, patient and efficient throughout our visit. He even took a group photo for us. Everyone found delicious options off the menu and the out of towners couldn't say enough about how much they enjoyed this local spot. All of our food came out in a timely matter and was just excellent! We were so grateful for the fantastic hospitality from all the staff and even the manager checked in on us to make sure everything was good. If you've never been make it a point to visit this local gem; you want be disappointed!“

Yes, its difficult to get there, but you feel that they care about you, driver and your precious time. PLEASE PLEASE don't ruin that by hiring CAPSTONE LOGISTICS
This please has fantastic management and crew
Thank you“

“Made a special trip to a nearby neighborhood when we heard you were in town. I’m not kidding, when I say this is one of the best food truck experiences ever. The food is delicious and for the price - it’s a steal!! I hope you come back to the Eastern Shore Soon!“

“Nice crew here. Saw me pull in and ran out to check my destination, immediately put me in a door. Pretty tight to maneuver and it will be a blindside 90 to get in the dock. Wasn't busy when I showed up. I can see how it could be a nightmare if it was though. Started loading me within minutes of hitting the dock. I did arrive about 45 minutes early.Assume there is no overnight parking from how small the place is and they also have day cab drivers that work here so they park all their trucks in the lot at night“
