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!“

“A well designed small space with an equally good ambient. Customer can have a very good view of the Hall with well maintained preparatory baking area and well displayed items. Some of the bakery items are unique with visual appeal amd taste. I have attached one photo of the item which I ordered. Even the sitting bench slopes towards the middle which is very convenient to sit and get up. Courier pickup segment seems to be well organised. Not a noisy environment. Very good place to relax and enjoy @ peace. Best wishes Rangarajan Ramaswamy May 25, 2026“

“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!“

“🐾🎂 Paws-itively Perfect Pup Cake! 🎂🐾

Callie absolutely loved her cake! 🐶💕 It was not only adorable but clearly delicious—she couldn’t get enough.

The owner was incredibly attentive throughout the process, making everything smooth and stress-free. They even offered delivery for a small fee, which was such a convenient bonus!

Highly recommend for anyone looking to treat their fur baby to something special! 🐾✨“

“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!“

“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!“

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

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

“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)“

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

“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!“

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

“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“

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

“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.“

“Cassandra, the owner of cakes in the city, is an amazing woman to work with. She is talented, reassuring, kind, and reliable. The cakes she makes are sweet, moist, and absolutely delicious. Cassandra did the wedding cake for my wedding. Everyone, and I mean 90+ guest enjoyed the cake. Cassandra is honest about what she is able create and delivers on that with 100% perfection. I plan to only go to Cassandra at Cakes in the City moving forward for any events that I plan to do or attend. Thank you so much for the amazing services.“

“Al time everything is Fresh and delicious 😜😋“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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 !!“

“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 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!“

“Crab dip bagel was 10/10. Barely a bagel though, the bun was much softer - which only made it better. Strongly recommend. Also, tried the crème brûlée and the guava cheese pain suisse. Both were good - though the crab dip bagel was out of this world.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 ❤️🙏🏻“

“They never disappoint!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“U never see warehouses rated this good but these guys deserve it. I had to show up 7 hours early bc my clock wasn't going to allow me to get there at my appt time , I told the guys not to worry about me and I didnt mind if they took a long time but they had me out if there in 45 minutes these guys are awesome and made my bad day a good one“

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