The first time I stopped by, I grabbed a cookie. That day they had the banana pudding cookie. Since I love banana pudding, this was a no-brainer. I don't know how they got this cookie to taste like banana pudding, but they did. Adding the white chocolate drizzle took it over the top for me. The second time I had the sweet potato cheesecake. I love sweet potatoes and I have not had a sweet potato dish or dessert that I didn't like. This cheesecake kept the streak alive. I'm assuming this is a seasonal dish, but I really wish it was a permanent item on the menu. If there was a way that I could eat this every day and not gain weight, I would. I'm hoping I can catch it again before the season changes and they moved on to some other cheesecake flavor. I'm pretty sure I was helped by the owner both times. I can't remember her name, but she was pleasant and gave great recommendations.

There is seating available if you would like to enjoy a coffee or other heated beverage with your sweet treat. There is also the option to place orders for larger pastries, platters, cupcakes, and cakes. The staff working here was very kind and attentive. I opted for a small box that comes with two petite fours and three macarons. The macaron flavors that I tried were the salted caramel, milk chocolate amaretto, and dark chocolate. The petit four flavors that I tried were the red velvet and the triple chocolate. Everything I had here was so beautifully made and tasted fresh. I will definitely be back here again.

They offer an extensive selection of flavors of their pasties which includes various macaron flavors, cupcakes, and cakes. I got a cannele, hazelnut financier and a mango iced matcha. The pastries were fresh, soft and mouth watering. The mango iced matcha was a little disappointing due to the bitter after taste of the drink. Looking forward to trying other pastries and other drinks at the patisserie.

Rare do you find a place that does two radically different things and does both things equally…read morewell! Carlson's is a staple in Annapolis where you could go in there for a donut at 8am and then come back for lunch and eat Thai at 2pm. If you get a donut I recommend going early they're baked fresh daily and they sell out quickly. I also enjoy the Pad Thai.

Finally had a chance to stop by Carlson's for lunch while in Frederick and, unfortunately, thought…read moreit was just okay. The star here is definitely the donuts. The Thai food, I could have definitely did without. Order up front at the counter and you can either dine in or take it to go. Seems like most decide to take it to go as your meal comes in a to-go container. Note they don't have plates, so if you plan to dine in, you'll have to get creative with sharing the dishes. We decided on the wonton soup, drunken noodles with beef, and fried rice with chicken. The wonton soup wasn't bad and came with a decent amount of wontons (made with minced chicken). Both the noodles and rice dish came with more vegetables than needed. My drunken noodles came with chicken (not beef as ordered) and was more like a stir fry. Also not spicy like the drunken noodles I'm used to. The fried rice was okay, but lacked that fried rice taste. The Thai iced tea was also just okay - super sweet. The donuts were on point - soft, fluffy, not too sweet. Highly recommend these over the Thai food (hopefully it was an office day).

The buttercream icing is classic and fresh strawberries were used for the topping. The customer service was good and very helpful with placing my order.

However, they also offer ice cream here, seasonal pies, and other sweet treats like banana pudding and their signature SMASH cups. SMASH is essentially a cupcake cut in half and layered with a couple scoops of ice cream of your choice. The classic cake and ice cream duo. Overall, a good experience and I will visit again for both custom orders and single servings.

I bought a baby-back rib, bacon, hamburger, asparagus, potatoes , etc. I priced the steaks and they were super high, over $25 a pound. I bought hamburger because the steaks were too high. It's been a few months since I came here. What is happening to the price of beef? I may consider becoming a vegan. The market's ambiance is nice. They switched a lot of the stands around. There is a separate counter for cold cuts now. I went on a Saturday so I expected them to be busy.

TLDR: Overpriced, tea just wasn't good…read more I tried this place around a year ago because it had amazing reviews, but my drink was so terrible that I couldn't finish it. It had an awful metallic taste, which I think came from the lychee jelly (lychee is not supposed to taste like that). I drink a ton of boba, and have never had something so bad I couldn't finish it before. I came back today to try it again, since the reviews of this place are continuously amazing, and mine is the only bad review. The toppings were the worst part. The tapioca pearls had firm and dry cores (I think it was maybe undercooked), which really brought the drink down. The jelly was not good, and I wouldn't even call it "jelly" personally. It was essentially sugar and flavor pellets with a processed and unpleasant tangy aftertaste. The tea wasn't great either. I sampled their jasmine tea since I really like jasmine, but I wasn't a fan, and I can make better with cheap grocery store tea. I tried their oolong tea, which was decent, but the flavor felt pretty diluted unfortunately. I also tried the Hokkaido tea, which was very sweet, and didn't taste quite like Hokkaido tea in my opinion. Normally I don't mind when boba is sweet, but I feel this place is pushing it too much. I ended up getting a little bit of the Hokkaido tea, and about 5x that amount of the oolong tea (which was fully unsweetened), and it was definitely sweet enough for me. There's a drink I sometimes get when I'm at college called "crème brûlée ube brown sugar milk tea with brown sugar boba". I personally prefer to call it "diabetes in a cup". I think the sweetness of that drink would be comparable to a full cup of the Hokkaido tea. Additionally, $8.46 is an absurd price to pay for this. I can get better boba for $6 down the street, or much better boba for $6-8 about 15 minutes away. If I want genuinely good boba, there's some shops in Rockville that I happily pay $8 a cup for, and they blow this place out of the water. This would be 3 star tea if it was $6. The staff member was nice, and the building itself was cute. The staff member recommended the Hokkaido tea with a pump of brown sugar syrup. This is why I tried the Hokkaido tea, but I didn't opt for the brown sugar pump since I'm not a huge fan of brown sugar boba (I prefer fruit tea and more eastern new-style tea). The "build your own tea" is a fine gimmick, but I don't want to pay $8 for it, especially when the toppings you can add are low quality. Additionally, some places have enough customization on their menu that you can essentially build your own tea anyways.

Sweet Bamboo Boba is hands down the best place I've ever found for bubble tea…read more You can make your own drink exactly how you want it, with your own flavors, combinations, and recipes. They have standard options too, but the fun part is building your own creation. They have bubbles, all kinds of jellies, teas, syrups, toppings, and so many ways to customize it. It reminds me of one of those self-serve frozen yogurt places, but for bubble tea. My go-to drink is strawberry jelly and lychee jelly on the bottom, then I fill the cup about two thirds of the way with ice, add coconut tea up to the top of the ice, and finish it with butterfly pea flower on top.
