Truly excellent bread, perfect balance of crusty shell and soft, light crumb inside, even the rye! I can't describe how delicious the carrot cake was, just try it you won't regret it. I am so glad to find this excellent, local, and multicultural bakery! If I lived closer I'd actually go every

Ordered a guava chiffon cake and we almost ate the box.

Sadly, just an awful experience. We stopped by on a recent Sunday for two much anticipated almond croissants and wish we hadn't. Both were stale and had minimal almond flavor. I don't mind paying for fresh, but that $10 could have been spent more wisely.

They have my favorite brownies in Baltimore. I like that they also have Italian ice and a wide selection of flaky pastries.

Great pizza!

This is the best pizza I have had in Baltimore! The crust is made daily and baked to perfection. The sauce was simply delicious. The best thing I can say about it is it reminded me more of pizza I have had in Naples than anything in the US. I will be back often.

Amazing find, wonderful local bakery who really care about their product. Also introduced me to some wonderful Serbian specialities. Hot bread right out of the oven has become a Saturday morning tradition.

Great customer service, not much bread to see at the time.

Locally owned small business that catered to our every need. Our five hungry kids left satisfied. Some got waffles while others got pizza. The food was better than I expected, and the owners were terrific. Thanks for letting our two-year old and six-year old son play and talk while our meals were prepared. If we did not live so far, we would certainly visit again.

Great place to pick up a pizza and salad on the way home! The pizza is amazing- wonderful thin crust with creative toppings. Once you try the shiitake mushroom pizza, you will not go back to regular mushroom. The salads are also very flavorful and a great complement for the pizza.

I had no idea this bakery existed and just happened to see it. I dropped in and am so glad I did! I purchased about a half dozen croissants and a baguette. Having worked for years as a college student in French bakeries in several cities, I usually judge a bakery first and foremost on a plain butter croissant and a standard baguette. Pekara hit it out of the park on both counts. Absolutely classic and first quality! I would say these item were the best I have ever had in Baltimore. The other items I purchased were also very good. The space itself and the interior is not all that aesthetically pleasingly. But the quality of their baked goods is outstanding. I hope this business thrives. I will certainly be back.

I have really been enjoying their pastries and bread. My current favorite is the italian bread, but they are all great in their own way. I love the croissants, danish, and baguettes as well. Most recently I tried their pizza from the new expanded menu, and it was delicious. Perfect amount of char on the crust, a tasty sauce, and quality cheeses. Can’t wait to try a sandwich next time.

Great pizza, delicious bread and pastries. Can’t go wrong with anything you get there.

Superb in every way. Pastries, both sweet and savory, are excellent. They recently opened a restaurant space just two doors from their bakery. The menu is lovely and I can confirm that the pancakes and the waffles are perfection- with whipped cream, choice of jam, and berries. The Vasa cake is the best cake I’ve had in my entire life. Intriguing history behind this delectable Serbian cake. The owner and the people, who work in this shop, are so friendly you’ll want to hang out with them. An incredibly positive experience.

Had to try the Cheese Lovers pizza from their new expanded menu. Excellent! I barely had time to take this photo before we ate whole thing. Loved the char on the crust, and the sauce is really tasty. Generous amount of cheese, always a good thing.
