Ovenbird Bakery

Best bread and pastries we’ve tried on our two week tour along the east coast. We’re based in France and their baguette was the most authentic we’ve had so far. The food and pastries were delicious (particularly loved the danish, pumpkin cheesecake and breakfast burrito). The staff and the space are lovely, and they sell art from employees and local artists. What’s not to love?

One of my favorite cafes in Baltimore! Their food is delicious (both breakfast and lunch), and they also have a rotating assortment of pastries and desserts. You can buy freshly baked bread too! They have two spacious rooms with plenty of seating so it's a great place for a lunch meeting or working from their shop. My go-tos are their ham and gruyere croissant and a London fog

There are 2 locations tha i know of, the quaint spot in Little Italy which has a line regularly on weekends. The breakfast sammies with their fresh made English muffins are a big hit as well as any of their baked goods. Today I tried the sausage jalapeño quiche and vegan cinnamon roll. Both items were extremely tasty but will add i dod have to ask them to heat up the roll a bit and there was a spot in the quiche that was covered than rest. With that said give this place your business and stop on the highlandtown location for a sit down experience and enjoy!!!

I love that I live within walking distance. This is not an ordinary coffee shop. It's a very large space with very vibrant Moroccan-like decor. There's so much to look at on the walls/ceiling. There is plenty of seating and people always go there to work on their laptops. You can tell the staff love working there, everyone is friendly and hardworking. The food is very fresh and tasty. I can't stop ordering the Prosciutto Caprese sandwich. It's amazing! especially the bread. I often walk over and buy a loaf of sourdough, rosemary focaccia, or ciabatta. If you're not buying high quality bread, then you have to give it a try. Good bread makes all the difference. This place is definitely an asset to the neighborhood.

I've been coming here since they've opened and have always had a free experience. It's welcoming and clean and the food and coffee never dissappoints. Such a great addition to the neighborhood!

Awesome bakery! They just opened up this location in December of last year. The food is not only superb, but it's pretty to look at. Everything is artesianlly crafted. They have a vast array of vegan/vegetarian options. The staff are very kind. The space is cozy and unique. It's a nice place to relax and dig into some good food that's good for you. Will definitely be back!

The breads are so fresh, I'd recommend all of the them. The Italian batons and chiabattas are crusty and light and versatile at home, and the Baltimore sourdough and Overnight rye are excellent toasted or for sandwiches. Great selection of artisan lunch and breakfast offerings, and coffee and desert. Easy location. Can get crowds, so maybe pick an in-between window to try them out. You will not be disappointed.

Absolutely incredible service by staff, amazing pastries, and the cafe's coffee bar is SO GOOD! I really appreciate the care and consideration that Kodzovi and Dylan put into my espresso each day. I brought friends with me the other day and we basically got one of everything! It was their first time trying Ovenbird so we had a lot of fun comparing the different pastries <3 My personal favorite is the hazelnut fig shortbread (texture wonderland and I ADORE hazelnuts outside of the generic choco-combo). My friends loved the lemon shortbread cookie, citrusy bread (so bright and fresh!) and I think we all agreed the scones were some of the fluffiest, butteriest we've had in a long time... honestly it was hard to not eat everything while we sat there in the cafe! The sandwiches my other friends enjoyed were also deliciously fresh, hot, and packed with flavor. We visited on a beautiful Saturday morning and made it inside right before the rush. SO glad we did cause they can sell out quickly! This flagship bakery location has a warm, eclectic, and inviting vibe. I can imagine coming in to work or read for a bit while sipping my coffee (or two or three). I love how casual it feels and easy it is to move around on my own. When I want a non-fussy, community-loved third space... this location is best!

We love Ovenbird. We have been going since we moved to Baltimore in 2020. Their breads are slow fermented sourdough mostly and really good. Their sandwiches are really good but do not travel well. I love to eat then on their patio with their great cappuccino. I do wish the offered a few whole grain pastries.

This was my first time visiting ovenbird and I'll definitely be back. If you are looking for a place to work, chat with friends or just start your day with a nice latte then put ovenbird on your list. Nestled in the brewers hill area.. I think.. it's a great find. The staff is nice and also there are tons of food options. We had the salmon bagel, grilled cheese and the Ube latte

I love this place! This time I had the turkey havarti on sourdough. It was tasty! I also had the cinnamon toast crunch latte. OMG!!! It's delicious and tastes exactly like the cereal. That will be my go-to going forward. And of course I had to have a cookie which is always delicious. I love the contrast between the sweetness of the white chocolate chips and the salt. And the cookies are always so moist! YUM!

Highlandtown location. The decor inside is something to be seen! Definitely wasn't expecting that but pleasantly surprised. Reminded me of Friends Central Perk. Service was very courteous! My bread was just a bit too hard. I had the ham, fig, and Brie and it was sooo good!

Love Ovenbird, even more since they were able to expand to opening 7 days a week. It's such a great spot in the neighborhood, spacious (although almost always busy), with yummy coffee and baked goods, and fun new stuff available regularly. They also run some fun local events out of the space in the evenings, check it out!

I was highly skeptical on the way to this location. It takes you thru some seemingly questionable neighborhoods. However, once you arrive its like being transported to another realm. It has a clean aesthetic mixed with a cozy, warm and a modernly rustic vibe that makes you feel at ease. The staff are very kind and offer great recommendations if you cant figure out what you want because everything looks or sounds delicious. Spoiler alert-everything is good. Finally, the food was delicious. Ordered a few sandwiches, some drinks and desserts and at worse, they rated a 8/10. Overall 10/10. Despite the questionable surrounding area, I would absolutely recommend and cant wait to return.

One of the best salmon and lox I've had for a very affordable price. Upon walking in I was fascinated of the interior as It was vibrant and colorful and very spacious. There were people doing their work and enjoying the stillness of the bakery. I ordered a lox bagel for $10 and It didn't take long for my order to be ready. While I was waiting I looked at the desserts and the cocktail area that I definitely want to try next. My lox bagel was on an everything bagel with herb cream cheese and I took off the tomatoes. It was a bit cold however everything blended perfectly. I warmed It up for 8 seconds and It really emphasized the flavors. I'll definitely come back and order again

One of my new favorite spots. My 2yo described the vibe as "really nice" and "not scary". He didn't give enough credit bc the place is stunning. Lots of natural light and lots to look at. I got an iced ube latte, which was so freaking good. He picked the iced and spiced cookie (something like that) and no joke, it was one of the best cookies I've ever had. Service was super friendly! Can't wait to return.

I stopped by for breakfast around 9am and there were already people inside, which was nice to see! The decor inside is amazing, very eclectic and it transports you to a new, fantastical place. This would be an incredible venue for a party or event! The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful, and we settled on a sweet cream cold brew, a latte, and two bagel breakfast sandwiches. We also got a focaccia to go. The area is very nice and pretty quiet, a few people were working remotely and I know some friends who regularly work from there. Very cool vibes, very cool people, and delicious breakfast and baked goods!

My 2nd time ordering to go I felt I had to leave a review my order was taken down correctly as well as charged correctly but got home disappointed to my order being wrong it's so annoying cause I really wanted to enjoy my bacon sausage and egg croissant but instead I got a bacon egg and cheese that I can't eat I also tried to call and complain but they have an automated answering service so hopefully they see my review

My partner and I have already decided we're going to be coming here a lot more often! Today was our first visit and service was great! Friendly staff, a beautifully decorated interior with comfortable seats and stable wifi/internet! What a gem I'll definitely be coming here for wfh days. My partner got an orange juice blend (he said it was great--it comes bottled) and an apple hand pie. It was crunchy and soft inside! A good size for a personal pie. I got the focaccia bread, and was surprised it was only $6. It smells amazing and I am excited to use it to make sandwiches and as a side for dinners this week! I haven't tried the coffee but they have a coffee flight here that is calling my name. If you're in the area, this place seems worth a visit for sure!

So eclectic, so cozy, so yummy - loved my first experience at the new Ovenbird location. Fits the highlandtown neighborhood perfectly. The drinks, food menu, and fresh baked goods selection is top notch! I got the lox bagel sandwich in a fennel bagel that was delicious. My friend got a breakfast sandwich on a homemade English muffin and also loved it. The gingerbread latte and pistachio matcha were both great too. Zero complaints! And the staff were very friendly and service was fast! You order at the counter, grab a table, and wait for your order to be called. Definitely go check this out as soon as you can!

Green onion goat cheese sun dried tomato scone 10/10 Solid coffee and a beautiful spacious interior (which is dog friendly !) Would recommend

Yes I know I came at noon on a Sunday but at least the coffee should be hot. Not a bad place, customer service is normal. Decor is cool, nice lighting Could earn another star when I give it a try again and sample some more of the baked goods. Had: almond croissant, goat cheese & green onion scone, (tasty) and a yummy figgy cookie. -regular latte w/ whole milk -salted maple latte w/ whole milk For both temp was probably 130° - great for a kids temp hot cocoa!

Ovenbird bakery has the cutest atmosphere, most delicious drinks, and the freshest baked goods you can possibly get your hands on! I especially love their ube latte and breakfast sandwich. I love coming here to study because of their large tables and plethora of parking out front. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. They have fresh baked bread everyday. Overall a great all around coffee shop!

I love this place! Been here twice already and have loved the staff, the food and the ambiance. This is the second location they have and nice place to eat and maybe get some remote work done too. Any of their seasonal drinks taste amazing. My go to is the spicy sausage quiche with any matcha drink they have. The bread sold individually is amazing as well. I always get the Rye bread sliced to bring home and eat with jams. The lox bagel is also perfection. There's so much to choose from. I highly recommend going here

Excellent experience all the way around. Wonderful and open warehouse space converted into a welcoming place to have a bite and coffee. They are about the bread and they are really good at it! We will be back.

This Overbird Bakery has been one of my favorites for a while now. First, I want to address the staff. The employees are incredible with their customer service--they are so friendly, helpful, and always have the most amazing attitudes. Now, let's talk about the food. The food is OUTSTANDING! Whoever makes the pastries, you are a gem. They offer such unique pastries and delicious bread. The ambiance is beautiful, and the open window seating is genius--you can't go wrong. I also just attended their open market this past Sunday, September 8th, and I hope this becomes a regular event because it was so fun to see the community together, enjoying local artists in the area. They will ALWAYS have 5 stars from me.

Absolutely incredible service by staff, amazing pastries, and the cafe's coffee bar is SO GOOD! I really appreciate the care and consideration that Kodzovi and Dylan put into my espresso each day. I brought friends with me the other day and we basically got one of everything! It was their first time trying Ovenbird so we had a lot of fun comparing the different pastries!

When I want a non-fussy, community-loved third space... this location is best!

Ovenbird in Highlandtown is a much needed staple in the community! The Little Italy location is a classic but this location provides ample seating and gorgeous decor that makes mornings so peaceful with some coffee and a bagel! The flavors are phenomenal always and I love all their seasonal menu items. They do a great job of maintaining quality. Everyone who works there is always so kind and smiley!

Let's start with the ambiance. It is a wonderful, creatively imaginative atmosphere from the moment you walk in. You are immediately part of their, for lack of a better word, dream in vibrant but muted colors. If that makes any sense. You then are caught up in all the tantalizing aromas from coffee, pastries, and other oven bound creations. It's so comforting. The menu is on the countertop, and you also have the visual of some of their offerings. You go over the menu, order, pay, and they call out your name when ready. Very simple. You can get your food to go or hang out in either dining room, and there is not a bad seat in the house. We ordered coffee, and wow, this was the perfect temperature and incredible flavor. Also, we ordered and shared banana walnut coffee cake, moist, and just enough cinnamon with a crumb top. And a raspberry cream cheese Danish style pastry, so light and flaky. We stayed awhile and just soaked it all in. They also have a bar, but I don't know what they serve, perhaps on another visit. The experience was one of the best, and I could find something to enjoy nearly every day. Parking was no problem for a Saturday morning. The only thing that left me unsettled was a customer came in with a leashed dog, and no, it was not a service dog.

I will preface this, with I have high expectations for my foodie experiences. Smashed meatball sandwich I Cynivised this since I knew going on that as made it is on the dryer side. I added an extra meatball (singular) and sauce for a $1 up-charge. The meatballs were good, I liked the diced pieces of basil in the meatballs and the garlic presence was on point. I am glad I added the extra one as it allowed a bite of meatball in every bite which checks the bread to meat ratio. The ciabatta was a nice crunchy outside with a soft inside. The sauce was way too thin, it was tomato broth consistency and took away from the sandwich. Blood orange rosemary Matcha This overly sweet drink tasted only like matcha. They did not blend the flavors well at all as none of the others were present or tasted. I am assuming it's syrups used to add the flavors which could be why it was so sweet? For the price the cup size is too small. If they could hit all the floats in the title that may make this a better drink. Orange tea cake The batter was over mixed/processed and it showed in the dense dry cake. It was also overly sweet, no orange essence or flavor hitting the palette at all. Hazelnut Raspberry Linzer Bar Very forward raspberry flavor, which is nice. Nutella taste was not present and the bar was ok the drier side. Not my cup of tea. Location has street parking, just read the signs to make sure you aren't parking in time not allowed. Cute decor inside, with nice comfy seats giving it a hangout coffee shop vibe. The food was okay at best and not my cup of tea. I would have preferred to have fresh pastries made that morning and if they sell out they sell out; over the refrigerator stores baked goods that they sold.

This location is so spacious and airy! Perfect for a single person getting bread or food or a group! I went to the happy hour that they just launched and it was lovely. They had a small selection of beer and wine and some delicious small plates to share. I wasn't familiar with some of the dishes and the server was very thorough with the descriptions and helpful with explaining the portion sizes. It sounded like the portion size went up as you went down the menu. I got the soft pretzel which tasted a bit like whole grain and the mustard and beer cheese were delicious accompaniments. The potato borek was absolutely delicious. It slightly reminded me of a potato stuffing in Phyllo dough. The Ovenbird dementor was butter, garlic and Phyllo dough and it broke apart like monkey bread. Absolutely delicious! They had one dessert in the affogato. The vanilla gelato was absolutely delicious!!!

This is Ovenbird's newest and biggest location and oh my goodness it is so adorable! It feels like I am sitting in a boho grandma's cafe. The staff here are very friendly and are more than willing to answer your questions and make recommendations if you ask them! The prices for their food are reasonable, very on par with other cafes/bakeries but with slightly better food. On the day I visited, my friend and I ordered the butternut squash toast and the French onion soup. Both were very delicious and the soup was piping hot! I really enjoyed the butternut squash toast and would only justify buying it due to how much work goes into prepping the squash for myself. With this, we also got a challah roll which is only offered on Fridays. THE CHALLAH ROLL WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF THIS VISIT! Coming in at just $1.50 the challah roll was light and fluffy topped so gently with flaky salt. I will definitely be going back to Ovenbird on a Friday with the intention of getting a challah roll (or a dozen). During this visit I also ordered a blood orange matcha, which was surprisingly delicious and refreshing. I would order it again, but am also willing to try something new. Their iced caramel latte was also very good and relatively inexpensive (I think it was less than $5 which is inexpensive when it comes to coffee nowadays). I will admit as a self-proclaimed Kougin-Amman connoisseur, Ovenbird's falls short compared to sacre sucre, especially with both being at approximately the same price point. Ovenbird's is smaller and not as flaky/crispy from the brûlée. Nonetheless, still a great assortment of pastries. The chocolate chirp cookie has been wonderful, in the future I am looking to try the mosaic cake. WARNING: As of mid-January 2024, there was NO WI-FI that was set up. If you're planning on coming here to do work, be prepared to use your hotspot or sit here for the day to disconnect from the digital world! We all need to at some points (:

I'm new to the area and wanted to stop by for a snack. The blueberry lemon scone is amazing. The cashier was very friendly, and I love the decor.

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite coffee shops! The space is pretty spacious so I can almost always find a place to set up when I want to work. They are pretty popular on the weekends so you may have to stake out a spot. The chairs are super comfy near outlets so I've never had an issue there. The staff are so friendly and always welcome you like your a good friend which I find to be a really nice touch. As far as the coffee.. ZERO complaints! They have introduced me to my new favorite drink, an espresso tonic and their new coffee flights allow you to try out a few things before committing. All that to say try it out and you might run into me sometime.

This place was so nice. The atmosphere was so relaxed. New ordered at the counter and then they called our name. I had an egg sandwich. We are together and it was quiet enough to have a conversation. Everyone was very nice. You bus your own plates at the end.

This is a great new location for Ovenbird! The space is large and welcoming, and has tons of places to sit. It's also decorated very beautifully inside. We got a breakfast sandwich, ham and cheese croissant, and pistachio cookie. The pistachio toffee cookie was incredibley delicious, I wanted a million of them!! The sandwich and croissant were also good, but nothing spectacular. Overall, this is a good spot to grab a coffee and snack and do some work or chat with a friend!

Pistachio croissant was divine. The crostata w/rhubarb and strawberry was mid. The salmon lox bagel and veggie sandwich were solid but not spectacular. Overall atmosphere was great, lots of seating available and good customer service. Prices were quite reasonable.

This is the third and largest location of Ovenbird (the other two are in Little Italy and Lexington Market). Located in the Highlandtown neighborhood, this location has plenty of seating and is beautifully decorated with Turkish influences from his wife. It just opened and everyone was there to try the new neighborhood spot. The line seemed really long when you walked in, but the service was fast and friendly. It's always great to see the owner behind the counter too. Now the food. AMAZING bread is made fresh everyday. Grab yourself a loaf. I had the ham and cheese croissant. I thought I was going to eat half of it but the soft, buttery croissant (I mean buttery and flakier than most), the thinly sliced ham and the cheese forced me to gobble it down on the spot. I took home a chorizo jalapeno quiche. I ate it too fast for a picture. The flakey crust was filled with meat and you definitely got some heat from the jalapeno. I had a delicious dirty chia and I look forward to going back to try their boozy drinks.

Phenomenal bakery nestled in the heart of Baltimore! The coffee and drinks are always delicious and the bread always fresh. Love the kind service. Will definitely come back.

My son captured the essence of this basket perfectly. If the Demonter he said "they used butter to made something that tastes better than butter"! Walk in, close your eyes, and point at anything. You'll be sated.

Ovenbird in Highlandtown is such a neat spot! Unassuming from the outside, the decor is very cool and there's plenty of seating inside. We got two chocolate croissants, one brown sugar pop tart, and two iced lattes for about $30. I loved that the food came on ceramic plates and the drinks came in either ceramic mugs or glassware. The brown sugar pop tart was phenomenal. The chocolate croissant was pretty good- nice lamination, good flake. I got a plain latte, but I did notice that they make their own syrups and might try a flavor next time. All their bread looked great, though I didn't try any. The cashier was nice and the space was clean (bathrooms too)!

We had a lovely lunch at Ovenbird Bakery! This was our first visit, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The bakery has a spacious interior with plenty of tables for dining, and we noticed many people working remotely while enjoying their treats. We stopped by around 12:30 on a Friday, and as expected for a popular spot, they were out of some breads and pastries, but we still had plenty of delicious options to choose from. The staff were all friendly and helpful in guiding us to the best choices. We tried the Oat Apple Chai from their autumn specials, and I absolutely loved it--perfectly sweet with a lovely apple cider flavor. We also had the mocha latte, which was fantastic. For lunch, I ordered the butternut squash sandwich, which came with roasted butternut squash, goat cheese, and cranberry on the most delicious cranberry walnut sourdough. We got our food to go, and while the bread was a bit soggy by the time I ate it 10 minutes later, the flavor was still great. We also tried the Italian cold cut sandwich, and it was phenomenal! That's definitely something we'd go back for. For dessert, we had the raspberry Danish. While it was tasty, it was a pretty standard version--nothing too extraordinary. Overall, we loved our experience and will definitely be back, especially for those sandwiches!

It's a bakery. Good baked goods. But it's not a coffee place or a bagel place. Sad, small lox bagel for $10

Whenever I visit Baltimore, I have to stop by Ovenbird Bakery! This was my first time at this location and it was MAGICAL. The staff was warm and friendly (provided great recommendations), the ambiance was relaxing and colorful, and as always - the food was fantastic. We enjoyed some food inside, which was very relaxing, and then took additional goodies to Fort McHenry for a picnic. Here are my reviews of what we ordered: - Turkey & Havarti Sandwich (7.5/10) - White Chocolate, Pistachio & Toffee Cookie (8/10) - Ham, Brie & Asparagus on Baguette (9/10) - Green Goddess Salad (10/10) - Pain Aux Raisins (10/10) - Key Lime Thumbprint (10/10) - Iced Vanilla Latte (10/10) I'm still thinking of those 10's days later. Next time I visit, the Raspberry Cheesecake Danish is on my list! The staff recommended this pastry, but unfortunately it was sold out both times I stopped by in the late mornings (you probably have to get there early for the extra goodies). If you've been thinking about visiting this Overbird Bakery location, let this be your sign!!

We stumbled upon this bakery after a meeting, and was excited to see this fairly recent addition to this neighborhood. It makes your day when you experience a pleasant surprise. Our intention was just to take a look, but once inside we decided to take a taste and stay a while. The atmosphere on a Saturday morning was leisure and community oriented, with tables of folks solo working, couples enjoying lunch, and groups enjoying each others company. The menu wasn't typical, but gad a good variety of sandwiches - hot and cold, variety of meats (beef, turkey, prosciutto) and veggie, salads and of course pastries and fresh bread. Hubby got the sandwich with havarti and turkey with cucumber on sourdough. I got the meatball with tomato sauce on ciabatta. We shared the sandwiches, and they were both tasty and filling. The mocha was really good, (and the finish reminded us of an adult beverage...). The place has a bar that looks simple but promising. Parking is not limited to the street as there is an entire lot for the bakery right across the street. We'll definitely be back and will try the pastries next time.

LOVED the atmosphere! Super cute and gives a neighborhood coffee shop feel :) my strawberry matcha was delicious. Will definitely be back

The coffee and desserts are amazing! The bread selection is the main reason we go here ! We always bring home a loaf of their sourdough and birdseed bread! It's really beautiful in there and the service is always impeccable!

I decided to give this place a try since it's in my neighborhood. Four visits and they were all the same... mindless young people working serving lukewarm to cold coffee and sandwiches that were mostly not edible. I asked for more bread on a sandwich because it was mostly giant wholes and the food kept falling out. When I asked for more bread, I was told they don't have any....ITS A BAKERY. Plus the bread on my other sandwiches was hard as a rock and difficult to eat. The space was nice, but not worth going again.

A MUST if you're in Baltimore! First, Mika (hope that I spelled your name correctly!) is so very welcoming and offers great suggestions for ordering. She is an exceptional face for the front staff. I ordered a lavender latte and she suggested adding a little bit of vanilla, and OMG it was perfection in a glass. The coffee is great on its own but adding a flavoring (just a little) jumps it to another level. I love the spinach and cheese quiche - it is the lightest, fluffiest, tastiest anywhere. The crust is layers of deliciousness. Hubby loves the egg sandwich with cheddar on a croissant, which is my runner up. The croissant is so fresh, crunchy at the bite and layered perfectly. Today, we tried the pistachio blueberry lemon opera pastry. While decadent, it was light with a very fresh taste, VERY yummy. The place is decorated like someone's living room, eclectic and roomy. Plenty of tables yet feels warm and homey. Bathrooms are kept clean - I tend to think of the bathrooms are clean so is the kitchen. We live out of state but make this a stop when we visit family in Baltimore; you should, too!

I loooove Ovenbird!! My go to bakery! I shop here weekly for their sourdough and have tried a few sandwiches and pastries here and there between visits. Always a 10/10! Also -- their lavender almond matcha is delicious perfection.

This is the best bagel spot in Baltimore! We are so happy to have Ovenbird in their new Highlandtown location. The space is absolutely beautiful with tall ceilings, colorful decor, lots of seating and natural light. Make sure the get here early! They sell out of their bagels because they are absolutely delicious. The everything bagels are a must. We always take a half dozen to go. The veggie cream cheese cannot be beat with fresh veggies mixed in. All of the pastries are crazy good. Try the raspberry danish if they have it! They also offer lunch items. The turkey havarti is one of the best lunch sandwiches and super fresh. The full loaves of sourdough are super soft on the inside and perfect amount of crunch on the outside. Cannot recommend Oven Bird enough!

I love Ovenbird, but everything - per their own explanation - is sourdough-based. I brought a friend without knowing this, and she couldn't eat anything because sourdough is a migraine trigger. I really wish they would make that fact clear somewhere - on their menu or counter. I would not have brought her as a guest had I known that. They literally shrugged an "Oh well" at her because they have NO alternative bread available. I thought that was absurd. Do they have no gluten-free alternative, either?

Loved the unique bagels and tea options. Very large inside and quiet enough to get work done.

Great coffee and very friendly, helpful staff. This Highlandtown location has a big space and plenty of seating. Most of the breads we've tried have been good, especially warmed up again or toasted at home. Their croissants are flakey and soft with just a little crust - worth a try! The only down-sides are that some of their pastries and cookies are toooo heavy on butter, to a point where the flavor gets overpowered by an 'old butter' taste and some grease kind of leaks. And occasionally we've gotten a bread loaf that's a little past its prime - slightly stale rather than crusty. Otherwise a great spot with some of the nicest people staffing.

Nice vibe and atmosphere, friendly service and amazing baked goods and sandwiches. Love it.

The pastry is very nice and I recommend the almond croissant. I ordered an artisan looking Challah and I was disappointed. Challah bread is an egg loaf. If this has egg in the formula it was not noticed.

Friendly service, good food, and coffee in a comfortable and spaceous setting. Even the reduced, day-old bread is good.
