We made our way to Catonsville on a super cold winter morning to try this bakery. It was busy but…read morenot over-crowded with folks so we snagged a table and tried several bakery items and I had a hot tea. I'd go hungry - and try a few things. We enjoyed most everything, but I will say what dropped this a star was the fact that I was so excited for the biscuit and jam, and unfortunately it tasted burnt. It wasn't visibly burnt so I didn't say anything, but the taste was just off. If I find myself back there I won't be going for that - but will seek out some other treats for sure!

I was immediately impressed and overwhelmed with the shear amount of options in their establishment. They not only have bread and pastries, but they also have coffee, frozen pizzas, wine and spirits, local cheeses, and a large selection of olive oils, vinegars, and balsamics. I picked up a challah bread, baguette, lemon rosemary sourdough, pumpkin chocolate muffin, two mini blueberry scones, a 4 pack of a locally owned, women owned canned cocktail I like, and a cup of coffee all for about $30. I will definitely be back!

Wanted to take a nice walk about two weeks ago (lagging on reviews again, sigh) and found the #9…read moreTrolley Line that runs from Ellicott City to Catonsville (or vice versa, more on this). Approximately halfway from either town is this delightful bakery that isn't just a bakery. As many have said, the aroma alone can make your mouth water - and we arrived midday, so I can only imagine what it's like early in the morning, when the baked goods are just coming out of the oven. They close at 2 on Saturdays, and we just made it by 1:30. Along with breads, rolls, and cookies, there are spreads both sweet and savory, dipping oils and vinegars, plus herb mixtures to sprinkle on them. I didn't investigate the wines but could easily see it's quite a collection. I missed the cheeses somehow, but DD the Cheese Queen said it was a nice assortment. There is also a cooler with soft drinks, so DGD got a berry lemonade & DD a kombucha. I bought a fresh loaf of garlic parmesan bread, and a loaf of cranberry orange pecan bread that was only $4! I see that another reviewer said the cheap loaves are due to the slicer mangling the loaf, but not the one I bought! It was perfect & just a couple of days old. Used to be you could go to most local bakeries & buy day old bread much cheaper. Anyway, even if it was "mangled" it still has amazing flavor and texture - worth every penny even at full price. DGD got a chocolate croissant and a banana muffin. She graciously let me have a taste and both were delicious. There is a free parking lot, which we didn't use of course, as we were walking. I wanted to write about the #9 Trolley Line but yelp doesn't have trail reviews (oversight!!) So I'm just going to add a little info here that does not pertain to The Breadery. Here are a couple of tips if you're doing the #9 Trolley Line walk: First and foremost, I highly recommend doing the uphill part first. In other words, start in Ellicott City. We walked as far as The Breadery and back, which was around 1.5 miles. We were all thankful to be going downhill once we were carrying our goodies! However, there is a farmer's market on Saturdays from May-October and it's a very small downtown so parking is tricky. The lot for the trailhead had people circling for spots. We're going to do the other side next weekend, but starting at The Breadery & returning there. And to be perfectly honest, even though it's a bit of a drive, I will be coming to get fresh loaves at The Breadery a couple of times a month.

A lightly citrus white-wine flavor and aroma, that lingered. The other five tastings were nice, too. A variety of light flavors, one quite dry, one rather fruity but not too sweet. Each around $20 retail, their usual range. We had a fresh bibb-lettuce salad with yellow beets and large asparagus spears, highlighted with crisp lightly toasted almond slices, a sweet and crunchy delight. And we had their savory flavorful Umami lightly-spiced mushroom burger, with cucumber slaw and aioli, one of our repeat favorites. We try not to miss their monthly tastings, though I dont always update you on the latest one. If we do miss, we still get to pick up the two bottles that come with it. It's gun to taste them all, and the food is always creative and tasty without being too exotic.

Unfortunately, this time didn't hit. My daughter liked them, but didn't love them -- and that's usually not the case with cupcakes. Her go-to move is eating the icing first, and even that got shut down. The frosting had a crusty texture instead of being soft and creamy. The cakes themselves were dry. I've never seen her ask for milk with cupcakes, let alone take a sip after every bite. That's when it hit me -- maybe the mistake was trusting the pre-order to be fresh. I probably would've been better off just picking 6 straight from the display case. Very disappointing, especially for a birthday treat. Not sure I'd recommend pre-ordering from here again.
