Love this place! I tried their ciabatta, Nutella bread pudding, and baklava cheesecake. I was…read moredoubting their ciabatta at first when I saw it but after actually toasting it and having it with a sandwich it was crisp and airy. The Nutella bread pudding is very indulgent but had such a delicious crust on top and a milk gooey center. The baklava cheesecake took my breath away. It just might be the best cheesecake I've ever had. It's VERY sweet so I doubt anyone can finish one whole piece in one sitting but worth every single calorie. The baked and other cashier were lovely! Very kind even though I came pretty much right before closing. There's plenty of choices and also some room for sitting down if you want to eat in there!

Not sure about the regular traffic here to this location but there was a small line indoors. I will have to try some more when I have the opportunity to stop by again.

But I do think there is an important distinction to note. I typically eat their cake doughnuts which are a bit denser in nature. I've never found their cake doughnuts to be overly cooked or dry like some other places which is good. I do think they have some yeast doughnut options which I have not tried before. (These doughnuts would be your more soft, melt-in-your-mouth options.) This review is for their cake doughnuts specifically which I would say is better than other doughnut food chains and worth a try!

I just love this spot. I've been coming here over the years to get my fill of Pennsylvania Dutch…read moretreats, which allows me to get from DC without having to drive all the way to Pennsylvania. This spot has so many wonderful food stands. Upon walking in, you can pick up a cart to explore all of the stands. My kids love this place as much as me since you can find so much variety. Our first stop is the very busy Amish soft pretzel stand. My kids love the standard soft pretzel dipped in melted butter and topped with rock salt. My personal favorite are the stuffed soft pretzels like the pretzels stuffed with roast beef and cooper sharp cheddar. Nothing tastes better! There are also many other stands that offer fresh produce, meats, cheeses and baked goods. I particularly like Bieler's Donuts, the same place you'll find packed lines in Philadelphia right here. It's such a fun place and my kids love it. But most importantly, this is dad's spot!

In the most visually-exciting sequence of Director/Writer Jalmari Helander's 2025 film Sisu: Road…read moreto Revenge, three Soviet Ilyushin II-2 Shturmovik ground-attack planes attempt to bring down the KraZ-214 armored, military-transport truck driven by the hero who single-handedly turned the tide for the Finns in the earlier film and in the sequel, set in 1946. Using his wits, his ingenuity, and unparalleled levels of skill and perseverance, Aatami Korpi, who earns the moniker of "the man who cannot die," escapes not just bombs and machine gun fire but a plane deployed as a missile. And yet, the most moving moment of the film is not found in one of its many arresting action sequences but in a single line of dialogue, spoken by one of six Finnish men, who, along with one teenager and one boy, carrying hatchets, axes, and tools, interrupts the battle-finished Korpi's work on his new home to ask in Finnish, subtitled in English, "We thought you might need some help?" Speechless and shaking with relief and joy, Korpi watches the strangers get to work on his roof, walls, and foundation. That level of kindness, assistance, delight, joy, skill, and service can be seen in every vendor at the Dutch Country Market Thursdays through Saturdays at 9701 Fort Meade Rd in Laurel, MD. Whether it is homemade pretzels, pasta salads, chili, produce, meats, cheeses, popcorn, donuts, or varieties of dark chocolate, candy, or fudge you seek, you will find plenty to whet your appetite. Mind you, most, if not all, of everything contains zero preservatives. Our advice is to buy what you can enjoy soon or share your purchases with company before it's too late.

The food was phenomenal and it was hard to decide what to order. I ended up ordering the crab cake sundae. It was a bowl of Maryland Crab Soup with a few spoonfuls of cream of crab soup, a small crab cake and a crab claw. It was fantastic and I've not seen that type of appetizer on other menus. Then I opted for the burger which was huge with cheese, crumpled bacon, lettuce, tomato, pickles and onion. I opted not to get the steak sauce. My burger was cooked to my preferred temperature and it was huge and delicious. It came with fresh cut french fries, which were also very tasty. The burger itself was flavorful, not at all salty as noted in another review and just perfect. They have an indoor area, and an outdoor area. We sat inside, but could have easily enjoyed the outdoor area and will try that another time. I can't wait to come back and I highly recommend.

The donuts and butter pound cake are what I often go for here. Donuts are made fresh, on-site, as are their other baked goods. You know these donuts are fresh because they only last a day or so before they turn stale. What I like about this bakery is they feature seasonal donuts that are very delicious. I've been coming to this bakery for years and they produce really delicious seasonal baked goods in the fall including seasonal pies for the holidays. As I mentioned, the donuts and butter pound cake are my favorite items. The cake, old fashioned, and crumb donuts are exceptional. When the buyer pound cake is warm and fresh there is no better pound cake experience. Overall a very good bakery that is worth the hype that is evident with the long lines. One thing to note is this bakery is inside the Dutch Farmers Market which is only open 3 days a week (Thurs-Sat) so this bakery, too, is only open Thurs-Sat. Give them a try and see for yourself.
