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!“

“The matcha basque cheese cake was insanely good. I was visiting from NY and can’t stop thinking about it. I go out of my way whenever I can to find one and there is really no comparison. Wish they shipped its that good, light and creamy! Matcha and Hojicha lattes were awesome as well!“

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 had a wonderful experience with VS Doggy Treats! I reached out through their website and Swati got back to me promptly with it being right after the holidays. She is really nice and was able to have the cake ready for pickup with a 4 day turn around. The cake was affordable along with payment and pickup was being easy too! I ordered their small pumpkin/apple cake with blueberry and yogurt frosting. My pup absolutely loved her cake for her 1st Birthday! My pup and I highly recommend this great family business and we'll be back for more! :)“

“🌺♥️ Best coustemer service ♥️🌺 Brilliant page 🌺♥️ High Quality Foods ♥️🌺 Great n' Mouthwatering Page 🌺♥️ Responsible prices ♥️🌺 My heartiest best wishes“

“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“

“First time here, while in the area, and I was not disappointed. They have a really nice selection. I couldn’t even wait until I got home—I had the kids grab me this canned whipped dessert, and oh my gosh, it was amazing. Everything else was great too: the cakes, donuts, bread pudding, and more.“

“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 “

“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! ❤❤❤❤“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“Tremendous changes have happened in this company since the new owners took over the company. Our restaurant has been a client of American Hearth Bakery for many years, however, in the past couple of years, the bakery had many issues with the product's quality and services. We are happy now that all the issues were resolved with the new ownership. Fresh bagels and pastries are delivered on time and the owners are super nice and helpful. Special thanks to Alex and the team for all the great work and improvements!“

“I worked here for 10 years in the industrial Engineering department (Maintenance). Compared to other companies in the industry the salary is kind of low, but for anyone looking to start a career in this field it’s probably the best option there is. They will accept anyone who is willing to work and learn and they will train you. Most people spend a few years learning the trade and then move on to make more money. Myself included. I don’t understand why ownership would allow their best guys to leave that way rather than structuring something to compensate them for all their experience and skill, but that’s just how it is there. This is not to say you can’t make a decent living there because you can, but just not what could be made elsewhere. The high pace makes for a great learning environment. It’s extremely hot there, but most places are. That place will always be like a second home to me. I loved working there. If they could match my salary I would go back. That will never happen though for reason I’ve explained here already. They have extremely good benefits compared to anywhere else. Cheapest and great coverage. 401k is kind of low. Overall, best place for low experience people and a great place to work, but not somewhere to expect $100k a year or more. I always send people to them for jobs still and I’ve been gone for a couple years now. It’s just a great place to work.“

“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!“

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

“I went for the first time yesterday for happy hour. I've been craving oysters. I was not disappointed. The bartender was great, the bar crowd was fun, food fantastic and drinks were perfect. Will definitely be a regular at this spot!“

“We had five generations going to Govans church. We now are on the six generation. We all love govans church so many warm friendly faces and beautiful people. Pastor Tom is the best he always been here for our family. Pastor Randy and his church family have joined with us here at Govans. So now we all our one big happy family. Love our church family ❤️🙏🏻“

“Amazing baker! My cake was everything“

“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.“

“Winter 2026 Edit: Have been here a couple more times and the Cinnabons were really good ...mostly.👍✌️

Summer 2025: ***DOUGHY UNDERCOOKED MEH TASTING CINNABUN THAT TOOK 4EVER!💩👎*** Weekend visit (Sat) around 5:15 pm. Grand Opening???: Not good. 1 guy working everything as it got crowded. Some woman comes from the back to help; she barely knew what she was doing and appeared very confused. Saw 1 person off to the side in the back out of line of sight preparing things. Long wait of 25+ min for ONE Classic Roll. 1 line ppl ordering; 2nd line us waiting for simple items that should not even take that long. Opened box roll did not even look good, NOR APPETIZING. Roll seemed SMALL. DOES THIS LOOK WORTH $8+ WITH TAX?! Was undercooked in the middle. Did not even taste good. All I tasted was salt & sweet and Undercooked Dough. I will stick with the other 2 city locations I usually go to and AVOID this Pratt St Inner Harbor 1. These Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls are Too Expensive and the economy too bad to be WASTING Hard-Earned $$ on Subpar Treats/Products.“

“One of the best bakeries I’ve ever been to. The line might seem a bit intimidating, but trust me, it’s worth it. There’s a line for a reason. Not only do they have some of the most fun specialty drinks I’ve seen (sipping on a Fig Chai Fog right now), but the food is orgasmic. This morning, My boyfriend got us a bunch of things to split, including the breakfast sando. The fact he even gave me half of this is commendable. If I tried it first, just like he did, I would have hidden the rest for myself because there’s no way would I share it. It is the best breakfast sandwich I’ve ever had. The chipotle pepper jelly makes me want to do cartwheels. I also highly recommend the crab dip bagel, but really anything you get will be amazing. Always the best service too! Super sweet workers. If I was nonstop customer facing I don’t know if I would have a smile on my face like they do. Bravo!“

“Delicious food Absolutely the best service The owner is personable, gracious and extremely humble“

“So happy to find this ? gluten-free restaurant! The owner was so kind to also navigate around my latex fruit allergies and made a special dish for me. Just wonderful people, the server was so kind, and the owner went the extra mile. Definitely eat here even with meat, vegetarian, and vegan options.“

“Great little bakery specializing in Mexican pastries. These are authentic Mexican pastries! We found this bakery by accident while visiting Baltimore. The pastries were fresh and the owner even offered to make us something if we wanted something in particular. The prices were reasonable too. I whish we bought more for a our travel back home.“

“the desserts were amazing and my kids loved it“

“Great place!! Pastries are super:)“
