50 Best Bakeries in Baltimore

“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!“

“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!“

“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 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! :)“

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

“Freshly Baked Cupcakes & Cakes, Great for any occasion!!!!! You won't be disappointed 😍🤗☺💕💕💕💕“

“Incredible!! We got the vodka pizza. Would be tough to beat anywhere. I traveled ~25 minutes in the car and the pizza held up perfectly. No flop, perfect crust, fresh ingredients. 10/10 would recommend. We can’t wait to try the rest of the pizzas!“

“We reached out to Jiaqi to facilitate our holiday cookie gifts for our clients. She was very responsive and helpful in deciding the selection of cookies and packaging for our order. Our expectations were high based on reviews and pictures from their website. However, the final product was so far beyond any of our expectations! The presentation was incredible… but the cookies; these cookies are absolutely the most delicious treats I have ever tasted!! Jiaqi is immensely talented! I can’t say enough good things!“

“The owner was GREAT to work with on a last minute request. A super delicious 6 inch Cookies and Cream cake and some cupcakes. She even delivered it to the restaurant after closing. So glad we found Codetta on Google.“

“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!“

“If you don’t think Ovenbird bakery is the best in Baltimore, see response below: You’re wrong.“

“If there was a rating for the price, id rate it 2/5. Super expensive for what you get.
The sandwiches were very mediocre , not an even spread of contents in the sandos which were premade and have been sitting there for hours. Kind of small but the prices are over the roof.
The drinks were disappointing. Got the tea there.(tasted like iced water)
9 dollars for a pastry? Crazy.
The pastries were good but not so much better than some other shops who have normal pricing.
Was the food good? It was good but the price is not justified.
But I would not go back.“

“If you’re looking for different and great cinnamon buns look no further. I love their baby buns as well“

“Strawberry 🍓 Shortcake EVERYTHING IS GIVING ! I'm Persnickety not eating from just anywhere due to cult following. Being a Chef my Palate is EXSTREMELY EXSQITE & DEFINED.

“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.“

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

“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! ❤❤❤❤“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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 ❤️🙏🏻“

“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!“

“Good place to stop by whenever I'm in town“

“There isn’t one thing on the menu that isn’t delicious. Gracious and lovely service, lively music and crowd, all perfect on any day— but Spring Saturdays are extra sweet here.“

“I ordered an Egg Bacon Quiche and a few other sweets from this place. It was $10 and it was very tasty to be honest. Unfortunately, I do have to agree with the other reviews, saying that the service was not that great. There were two people there when I just randomly walked in a man and a woman, and they were riding in a conversation, and I waited for a little bit and then the woman finally said something to me after standing there for a bit, but the man for some reason had no intention on stopping the conversation, literally the entire time while I was ordering while she walked over to the register and rang me up. He would not stop talking to her for any reason and it was very weird and awkward to me so for that reason, it’s a zero on the service. I gave them a two for atmosphere because it honestly was no atmosphere other than the delicious pastries on display. They look very nice and if they taste anything like the items I’ve already had from here then I’m sure they’re very good too but because the service is not good I probably won’t be back.“

“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.“

“They never disappoint!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Atwater's is my favorite place for many reasons. Comfortable community atmosphere, enjoyable food and drink, and great staff. In 6 years I've seen Atwater's with a great track record for hiring and training members of its team. But I'd like to credit two in particular today. Joey, the new manager settled into his role quickly just this year and is very engaging, friendly, and happy to help customers directly alongside his team. Alyssa is another fantastic worker and leader in the team. Always paying attention and focused on keeping everything in order and working efficiently. The whole team performs well. But she routinely performs above the standard.“

“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.“
