21 Best Bakeries in Annapolis

“We wanted to love this place - we did come in the afternoon, which could explain the less than perfect croissant and baguette.

It was quiet so there was no wait. The service was adequate, but not especially welcoming.

The ham and cheese croissant was a little stale - perhaps heating it up would have made a difference, but that wasn’t offered or suggested.

The baguette didn’t have the crunch of an ideal French loaf when gently squeezed. The crust was on the thick side instead of being thin and easy to tear. It was not bad, as the interior was airy and chewy - and when lightly toasted could make a decent sandwich.

The QUICHE was beautifully made - the egg was very light and melted in your mouth. THAT is worth coming back for. It is worth asking for the quiche to be heated if dining in.

This bakery offers more sweet baked goods than savory items, and they did look lovely.

There are a handful of tables for indoor dining and a couple on the outdoor patio. Two umbrellas provide shade.

We want to come back give the other pastries a try.“

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

“Absolutely stunning and delicious macaroons! Beautifully presented with a perfect mix of colors and flavors. The shells were delicate with just the right crunch, and the fillings were smooth, fresh, and not overly sweet. They made a gorgeous centerpiece and tasted as good as they looked. Truly a special treat!“

“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 chocolate chip is a family fav love how they have different flavors monthly the tres leches was amazing only thing I’d recommend is if they would have forks or spoons. Sometimes their flavors are a bit too sweet and other times I’ve gotten their flavors and they’re amazing. Overpriced treats but they’re good“

“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! 🙂“

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

“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.“

“We had a fantastic experience with Palate Pleasers! The menu was creative, delicious, and thoughtfully prepared. Standouts included the brie with orange marmalade, flavorful vegan options, and the interactive risotto bar with excellent toppings.

The chicken with tart cherry–shallot sauce and the fresh spinach salad were also big hits. We especially appreciated the attention to detail with toppings and dressings served on the side.

Dessert (strawberry rhubarb crisps) was the perfect finish. Everything was beautifully executed—highly recommend!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We stopped by Curate Annapolis Café, Bakery & Wine Bar and were blown away by how delicious everything was! The pumpkin muffins were perfectly spiced and moist, and the specialty chai was absolutely amazing, cozy and full of flavor. 🍂☕ The service made the experience even better, thank you, Skye, for being so kind and attentive! Can’t wait to come back for more treats soon. 💛“

“I was in Annapolis, Maryland this past weekend for a wedding. I was on the search for a coffee shop and come across Seoul Blues Coffee. I ordered a pistachio latte, hot and it was the best pistachio latte i have ever had. The best! Get you one if you are ever in the area.“

“A nice Korean version of a French patisserie with a surprisingly not that expensive collection of baked goods. Kim chi is hiding, so are delicate laminations of sugar and yeasted dough. I had the custard tart, and a messy chocolate on chocolate tartlette. Top it off with a nice cold brew and that's a pleasant visit.“

“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!“

“Outstanding food and desserts“

“I had an amazing experience thanks to Odali! From the moment I met her, she went above and beyond to help me. When I was trying to find the Apple Store, she kindly took the time to point me in the right direction, which I truly appreciated.

Later, after returning to the mall feeling hungry, I stopped by Auntie Anne's and was pleasantly surprised to see Odali again. What happened next completely exceeded my expectations. She patiently helped me download the Auntie Anne's Rewards app and showed me how to use it so I could take advantage of the rewards program. Thanks to her help, I was able to get a free Pepperoni Pretzel and a drink!

It's rare to find someone who is genuinely friendly, helpful, and willing to go the extra mile for a customer. Odali's positive attitude and outstanding customer service turned an ordinary visit into a memorable experience. Employees like her are the reason customers keep coming back. Thank you, Odali, for your kindness and excellent service—you truly deserve recognition for all that you do!

Odali is a perfect example of what great customer service looks like. Auntie Anne's is lucky to have her, and she absolutely deserves a raise! 😊“

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

“Dear Tatte, I just wanted to say happy holidays and to thank you for opening a location in Crystal City (Arlington, VA). The staff and managers are exceptional. I enjoy having a local bakery/coffee shop I can walk to and loose myself in a book or anything really. It's a roomy location, well-designed and welcoming. It has become my home away from home.“

“I have been going to Giant as long as I can remember. I'm now in my 50s and this is my first review I've ever done for Giant. It is a shame on my part - the first review and it's a negative one - after all the years of a great service I've had, but it must be said. They have done a very good job up until my latest complaints about the pharmacy & fruit.

Complaint: I must say that lately, just about all of the fruit that I get from Giant is either moldy, slimy or rotten or turns those ways within a very short period of time, usually a day or two. They do take the rotten fruit back without a problem for an even exchange, however, even the exchanges can and do turn out moldy, brown and/or slimy sometimes.

The people in customer service and around the store are ALWAYS very helpful and friendly. 😃 The main lady 👵that is always at the counter of Giant Pharmacy in Annapolis in Forest Festival is absolutely wonderful and should get a raise for the torment she puts up with every day from all the nasty patients in pain needing their medicine. (I saw the poor woman crying one day from a nasty customer yelling at her. )🤪“
