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

“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!“

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

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

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

“Just incredible all around! Robust selection of non coffee items that are also very unique to the cafe. Pastries and toasts are excellently made, not to mention the cafe’s quiet atmosphere for studying/working. These are all factors that are rarely found in a single cafe which makes Kanom stand out!“

“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!“

“Swati did an amazing job making a gender reveal cake for our dog! Not only did he absolutely love the cake, but you could tell it was made with healthy, quality ingredients and a lot of care. She was also incredibly accommodating and was able to make our cake on very short notice and turn it around quickly. Swati was a pleasure to work with from start to finish and we would absolutely order another dog cake from her in the future! Highly recommend!“

“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 !!“

“5-stars but with caveats. The sourdough crust on the pizzas are phenomenal — structurally strong enough to support the toppings without being floppy, nice taste, simultaneously crunchy and soft — a great middle ground. For the effort they’re putting in on the crust alone, it’s a 5-star pizza. However, I tried the supreme and the chicken and felt both could use some balancing when it comes to the flavors of the toppings. I’d buy again, yes, but not in a rush.

Visited again, this time to try their cookies. They’re totally delicious, highly recommend.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“The food is DELICIOUS!! My husband and I enjoy the Crab Tamago Sando sandwiches, along with the Crab dipped bagel. You cannot go wrong trying any of the hearty pastries. There is always a line when we arrive, but it does move rather quickly. Parking is the bigger issue in this area of the Restaurant, otherwise always a wonderful experience.“

“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!“

“Al time everything is Fresh and delicious 😜😋“

“Don’t let the line intimidate you. It moves along and usually you can find seating.
The elote cornbread was so good, the crab dip bagel is also yum, love the guava pastry thing, and you honestly can skip the crookie (unless you like dry baked goods or are serving it with a cup of coffee or a milk)“

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

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

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

“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.“

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

“Absolutely delicious! We are picky without Spanish food. We’re Dominican and chose to come to this Ecuadorian spot instead. It was so well seasoned and the quality of the meat was very good. So tasty and comforting and fresh! Highly recommend“

“I had the Fraisier cake at a party, the host said it came from a french bakery. I was ecstatic to find this is the bakery! I am generally not super into desserts with fruit as the main flavor profile, but let me tell you, eating this cake was a remarkable experience, a perfect combination of strawberries, cream and marzipan. I will definitely be getting my birthday cake from this place!“

“🌺♥️ 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!“

Just because it looks good doest mean it's GOOD. This young lady 💯 ment ALL MY EXPECTATIONS & SOME. Last but not least when traveling my Significant other Only Chooses 5star restaurants to TRY & MEET MY EXPECTATIONS. PLEASE LOVE ON YOURSELF YOU WILL ENJOY THE TREATS .🍓🌈🙏🏿💯👌🏿“

“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’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.“

“We had a last minute celebration party and after calling over 20 different cake places, Yia Yia’s bakery was the only cake place that came to the rescue. Their Cake was one of the best I have ever tasted ever! The customer service is 💯 I don’t think any other place can compete with them. They have large selection of baked goods / sweet treats that you can’t resist getting 🤤.
Overall, I will give this place a 30000/100 🤗“

“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 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.“

“The salmon is sooooooo GOOD!“

“I ordered cupcakes for my dad’s celebration of life and they were phenomenal! She was very accommodating and actually got them done early which relieved a lot of stress for me. I can’t praise her enough! Very caring and professional service!!!“

“They never disappoint!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Atmosphere is what you want- warm clean and feels lived in and loved. A great mix of people coming in and out. The food looked yummy but lacked interest- we got two bagels, a bagel sandwich, avocado toast, muffin, and the special sandwich - all was bordering bland. Drinks were not memorable. I would pump up the flavors a bit, but based on the vibes I’d come back here and trying other things.“

“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 ❤️🙏🏻“

“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! ❤❤❤❤“

“My lab/golden mix loves them!“

“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 ❤️“

“نادر شاب م الآخر مكان راقيي الشاب“

“My second time here, not bad at all, but will depend on what dock you will get, the one from the street is a headache, those which at the end of the building seems nice and easy. Don’t turn on Commercial Ave, turn on Supply Ave so docks will be on your left side.“

“What a lovely, friendly and delicious afternoon! The place looks beautiful, the tea divine and the food spectacular! Thank you for the fun experience!! All should go!“

“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!“

“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!“

“the desserts were amazing and my kids loved it“
