50 Best Bakeries in Baltimore

“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!“

“My dog absolutely loved the cake! 🐾🎂 The service was amazing, and she was very kind and helpful. She recommends the best options based on What’s your dog like. She made a beautiful cake for my dog, and I couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend her and will definitely order again!“

“Enjoyed the food and atmosphere! Customer service. They took the time to explain the drink options and answer any questions that we had! Great customer service, great food and great atmosphere! I saw customers of all ages here! Elderly to elementary school student!
students!
*The tomato pesto pastry was OUTSTANDING!“

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

“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 😍🤗☺💕💕💕💕“

“Ordered two pies for delivery after seeing pics of a charred sourdough crust on Reddit. It’s a bakery so of course the crust is GOATd. The pizzas are huge and the Peruvian chicken one really stood out. Juicy, smoky, earthy with a fruity spiciness. Truly top tier stuff from Baltoz.

Only complaint is that they don’t sell any of those bomb as pastries for delivery. To be fair, many of their pastries look delicately laminated (very flaky, buttery, crispy) so they might not survive the trip with a Baltimore driver behind the wheel. I’d still risk it though 😂😂😂“

“Tried the Brown Sugar Butter Crunch Cookie and it was absolutely delicious! The flavor was rich and buttery with the perfect brown sugar sweetness. The cookie was incredibly soft and fresh, making every bite so satisfying. Definitely one of the best cookies I’ve had recently!“

“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.“

“One word...DELICIOUS! Check them out asap!!!“

“This place still is the best in Baltimore for baked goods/ pastries. There can be a line depending on the time but it’s worth it. The staff here are so welcoming and friendly. Plenty of coffee drink options. Inside is small but they have covered seating out side so you can enjoy your treats. Most recent visit I got an almond croissant and it was amazing, definitely one of the best I’ve ever had. It was crisp and flaky chewy, right amount of sweetness with the perfect balance of almond flavor. This place is a Baltimore must stop, definitely recommend and will be back for sure.“

“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!“

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

“All the fun of cafe dear Leon with a much more spacious and elegant location. The line is very long but the wait wasn’t that bad and we went mid morning on a Saturday (maybe 15-20 minutes, see photo for where we started). Everything tasted fresh and also kept its texture well later into the day. There’s seating both inside and outside and plenty of standing space to chat outside if it’s really packed. The monkey bread was our favorite, but the coconut pandan was also fantastic. Also, the crab dip bagel definitely is as rich and luxurious as people describe. The rosemary flat white is a winner from the drinks (seasonal)“

“We visited their Bel Air location for the first time today! Our daughter turned 4 and she picked out their PHENOMENAL strawberry shortcake! Out of this world desserts and such fair prices. Will definitely come back!“

“Got a banana pudding from the food van Very delicious, super filling. Ate it during class.“

“The food is truly delicious! I’ve tried different meals and everything has been so so so good!!!! The blackberry milkshake is a must! The last time we went we ordered the creamy mushroom chicken and the “bandera ecuatoriana”. Everything was delicious“

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

“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.

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

“I recently visited Pariser’s Bakery, and it was a genuinely delightful experience that felt warm, fresh, and inviting from the moment I walked in. The bakery has a cozy, old-fashioned charm with a clean and well-organized display of baked goods that immediately catches your attention. The aroma of freshly baked bread and pastries adds to the comforting atmosphere.

I tried a mix of items including a pastry, a loaf of bread, and a small dessert, and everything tasted fresh and well-made. The pastry had a light, flaky texture with just the right amount of sweetness, while the bread felt soft inside with a perfectly baked crust. You can tell that quality ingredients and care go into the preparation.

One of the best things about Pariser’s Bakery is the variety. They offer a nice selection of cakes, cookies, muffins, and breads, making it easy to find something for every taste. Whether you’re stopping by for breakfast, a quick snack, or picking up something for an occasion, there’s plenty to choose from.

The staff was friendly and polite, greeting customers with a smile and helping with recommendations when needed. Even during busy hours, service remained smooth and efficient, and the waiting time was minimal.

Cleanliness was well maintained, and the display counters were neatly arranged, which made everything look even more appetizing. Pricing felt fair for the quality offered, especially considering the freshness of the products.

Overall, Pariser’s Bakery is a lovely spot for anyone who enjoys freshly baked goods in a simple and pleasant setting. It delivers consistent quality, good service, and a comforting bakery experience that makes you want to return again.“

“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.“

“The salmon is sooooooo GOOD!“

“Al time everything is Fresh and delicious 😜😋“

“I’ll be honest, I was both excited and skeptical about trying Wonder when it first opened. The whole concept seemed a little strange to me, and I wasn’t sure how it would actually work. Since they were offering 50% off for first time customers when I went, I figured it was worth a try.

We ordered a pizza from Alanza, a double cheeseburger from Burger Baby, and a Build Your Own Bowl from El Diez. Funny enough, the burger, which was the item I was least excited about based on how it looked, ended up being my favorite. It was honestly one of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time. The pizza was a little overdone, but I actually like my pizza that way, so no complaints there. The bowl was good too, though I felt like it was missing a little something. Maybe some extra lime or cilantro would have given it more of that fresh Mexican flavor.

I’d definitely come back and try some of the other restaurants they have. I also really liked the atmosphere. It was quiet, clean, and didn’t feel chaotic, which was nice. The kitchen area looked especially clean, which always leaves a good impression.

If you’ve been curious about Wonder and are looking to try something different, I’d say it’s worth checking out, especially while they’re offering 50% off for new customers. There’s a huge variety of food options, so it’s easy for everyone in your group to find something they’ll enjoy. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised and left more impressed than I expected to be.“

“I’ve been coming here for around 7 years now and Yia Yia’s has never disappointed. Our family and friends frequent this shop as well. They have a great selection of sweets and treats! The first thing I ever tried was the Super Atomic cake, which is absolutely amazing. I had never tried baklava before here and I really enjoy theirs. Some of my favs are the Smith Island cake, the macaroons, cheesecake. So many good things to try depending on your preferences! Highly recommend.“

“Absolutely amazing service! She was so friendly and greeted me instantly when I arrived. She walked me through all of her flavors and what she offers and I decided to get the red velvet and Cinnabon cupcakes…. Delicious! The bakery itself is so beautiful on the inside! I will be back for sure!“

“I love The Avenue Bakery's warm atmosphere , friendly staff and the delightful smell of fresh baked delicious treats. My family and I are always pleased with everything we purchase especially the sweet potato pies, bread pudding and wheat rolls all are outstanding !!“

“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“

“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 “

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

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

“Common ground is a great place that is employee-owned and I like to support. Their jalapeno cheddar biscuit is a Divine thing.

The only reason I don't give it five stars for service in atmosphere is because it is so popular sometimes even something simple will take 10 minutes. That's really just a testament how much people love the place“

“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! ❤❤❤❤“

“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 ❤️“

“They never disappoint!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“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!“

“We are in town for the National ProStart Invitational. We brought our students in and the visit was amazing. The products were beautiful and wonderfully made. Each of our students left with something. As someone who works in the industry and has a focus in baking and pastries it is top notch!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 ❤️🙏🏻“

“While on vacation we always love to visit local pastry shops. This place had the best apple Danish I have ever had. You could tell they made the apple filling from scratch and it wasn't that crappy stuff out of a can. The pastry itself was incredibly flaky and delicious.

My husband had a ham and cheese croissant and he was sad we didn't get more. Said it was absolutely incredible.

We got a couple other items but haven't tried them yet. I imagine they will be just as amazing as the others.

This place is fantastic!! I highly recommend going here. If I lived here I would go here every week.“

“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 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!“

“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.“

“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.“
