What a beautiful bakery!…read more Overbird Bakery in Baltimore's Little Italy is baking artisan, European-style sourdough breads and pastries that uses spices and flavors from Turkey as well as the Mediterranean. When I walked in the other day, the baked goods on display made my jaw drop. I would have loved to stay and enjoy my breakfast but I had to get back home so grab and go is my only option. First time here, I'm going to start with a croissant and a special latte they were promoting. The croissant comes to me, warm and fresh in the bag. Ovenbird Bakery makes a great croissant, very buttery and flakey. I'm just passing thru, I'm glad I discovered this great bakery in Baltimore.

I got their vegan sandwich option, the veggie sandwich (hummus, spouts, tomato, avocado, etc), which was fantastic. The side of bagel chips was well worth the extra dollar or two, and overall the prices were quite reasonable ($10 for my sandwich--and it was not a small sandwich!) There was a long line, but we were able to find a table relatively quickly. The vegan cinnamon roll was unfortunately out by the time I arrived, but I would love to have tried that (their other pastries looked incredible). For coffee, I got the coldbrew, which was delicious with a bit of oatmilk. The high ceilings make it feel larger than it is, and the bright patterns add so much personality to what would otherwise be a rather austere industrial space. Recommended for both vibe and food :)

They have a good selection of appetizers, entrees, drinks, and a couple of dessert options. We started with the spicy feta dip, the octopus appetizer, and the cheese balls appetizer. All three were delicious but the octopus was definitely a highlight. I would get everything again in a heartbeat, especially the octopus and the spicy feta. The cheese balls were rather rich but delicious nonetheless. The Greek village salad is a perfect accompaniment to the platters - as all the veggies tasted fresh, the feta was delicious, and it was plentiful. My lamb chops were perfectly cooked and the platter came with six lollipops at market price (which was $35 the night we went, so not bad at all). The pita was delicious of course and the fries were well-seasoned. We'll definitely be coming back!

I wish I could remember my servers name because he was so funny and so helpful. He also didn't judge me for getting basically one of everything for just myself lol. I got the grilled calamari, octopus, and lamb chops. I was NOT expecting the calamari to be so huge haha it was so delicious and flavorful though. I always prefer grilled over fried calamari. The lamb chops were juicy and seasoned so well (not gamey at all). And octopus is a favorite of mine anywhere I go, this was a 10/10. I'll 100% be returning here before I move out of this neighborhood!

It also included a salad. With two entrees one being the Spitroast Lamb, the other was the Lavraki (Branzino) filet fish. This was my favorite!! Seasoned perfectly with the lemon oil and capers. It also included two desserts. There was a wine sample that went with every meal. So a total of seven different wines. All pretty much on the dry side. With the exception of the wine that went with the desserts. It was called Paleokairiso,2023. That had a slight sweetness to it. I'm actually a semi sweet wine person. So everything paired well with the meals. I would have to pass on all dry wines but I'm always open to the possibilities. This was an enjoyable experience. We don't live in Baltimore but if you live or work nearby. I highly recommend checking them out. Parking was about a block away. For twenty five cents an hour. Also metered street parking available if you can find it. We would not hesitate to attend another event here. It was definitely worth it.

Since the snowball stand in canton crossing closed and is turning into a Rita's this appears to be the closest location to Canton to get snowballs.

I get so bored at the dog park so bark social is a fun twist in the routine. Having a beer and watching all the pups play is the best. Love their beer selection, lots of local favorites on tap. Food is ok, not great, wraps and flatbread pizzas (a shareable size). Go the pizza path. They have a small section for little dogs, which is great, but usually quite dead. We usually opt for the main area, in the summer water basins (kind of like a doggie plunge pool) and ice cube drops are staples. The dogs love it. While their staff is EXCEPTIONAL, they keep an eye on dog's safety and are on top of cleanliness, Bark Social still comes with the common pains of your standard dog park. A little more so, as some patrons leave a little too much responsibility with the staff to monitor dogs. No dog toys allowed. Overall, always have a blast here. Highly recommend a visit. Bonus: they have a lot of TVs, I plan to spend football season here as much as possible this year.
