    The almond croissant is one of the best I've had! I also enjoyed the Sakura (matcha with strawberry sauce). The other pastries looked delicious, but I didn't want to overdo it today. The space is clean and soft jazz music set the mood. A few people were working on laptops, and there was also outdoor seating for when the weather is nice.

    Came here with a friend on a Thursday morning after a visit to JHU. This is on a small side street by the university and there is free street parking available. There is exclusively indoor seating with several tables though it was busy enough by 10:30 am that only ~2 tables were free. It looks like this is a spot a lot of people work/study at. They have numerous desserts in their bakery displays but we only tried the drinks since we weren't hungry. Sakura latte (iced) 4/5; this is a strawberry matcha, didn't really taste any Sakura or other cherry flavoring that said I did enjoy this latte. The matcha effect was slightly stronger than the strawberry which I enjoyed Chai Latte (hot) 3/5, my friend got this and noted it wasn't a more spiced chai and felt it was fine

    Baltimore Bakery Crawl stop #2 of seven places! My best friend, her college bestie, husband, and I spent Sunday 2/2 exploring different Baltimore bakeries. I tried three things here, so this review is based on that! This bakery wins the aesthetically pleasing award of the seven bakeries we visited. It looks like an amazing spot to meet up with friends or get some work done (some people had their laptops out). They had plenty of seating available and pastries/cakes that will look incredible in any of your yelp photos. As a group we ordered the cream cheese garlic bun and strawberry choco chiffon cake. I also got a mocha. The cake wasn't for me, the strawberry was too artificial for my liking and the cake itself was very ok. The bun was fun, the cream cheese filling was a bit sweet, overall it was fine. My mocha was ok too. It was cool to visit this charming spot. It's very vibey.

    This is a family owned coffee shop specializes in croissants. We came here for light breakfast. I ordered almond croissant with house coffee. The croissant was flaky, light, and with almond filling. There was some coffee floaters and I wasn't sure if it supposed to be there. But it tasted okay. Nice place to hangout. You can sit either inside or outside.

    Lovely cafe, clean and organized. The treats are fresh and delicious! The staff are friendly and welcoming, I look forward to coming again :)

    Such a sweet little spot, and a perfect place to catch up with a friend on a chilly winter afternoon. There's some cafes that focus on aesthetic decor more than the food. This place offers quality food for reasonable prices and is way more my speed than the overly curated places in more visible spots of the city. Check out the hidden gem (not on Tuesdays though, they're closed).

    I came here on a Monday morning after reading about this new bakery! It was a little hard to find as there wasn't a sign outside. We saw a red awning, looked into the window, and saw it was the bakery. The owners were really nice. I ordered 3 croissants (regular, almond, and double chocolate) and the brioche blueberry roll. I also got an opera cake and a lemon raspberry cake. We also got a cappuccino and a peach soda. They had a couple of groups in there already. All the baked goods were beautiful! My pastries were packaged nicely. We waited to try it when we got home. The croissants were really good. My husband loves a good plain croissant. I enjoyed the double chocolate. They were flakey and delicious. The cakes were fantastic. Super great flavor and delicious. The brioche blueberry was good, but i probably wouldn't get it again. They are a little pricey, but I guess with rising costs these days, it's hard to avoid.

    I came here to study and try a new cafe, and I'm glad I did! I ordered a ham & cheese croissant, a cookie, and their Thai style iced coffee (Es Yen). The croissant was one of the best I've ever had, and since I love Vietnamese coffee, their coffee really hit the spot for me. I'll be back here again to try other baked goods!

    Excellent pastries and coffee! Highly recommend! My coffee order did take a few minutes and there was some confusion but I think this was a one time issue. Just be prepared to wait a few minutes for your coffee.

    A cute cafe near hopkins undergrad campus. Enjoyed their hot chocolate. Their cream cheese garlic bun (not pictured) is so good too.

    This place has a really nice cozy feel. Lots of folks studying and working, beautiful laminated dough pastries. I got the garlic cream cheese bun--it was good. A delicious mess but a little too sweet for me. In retrospect I should have gotten one of the amazing looking croissants. I noticed after I ordered that you can watch them fold the dough around the side of the cafe. Would definitely come back.

    Coconut Croissant

    Seriously the best croissant I've ever had (which is saying something because I've had them in France) the coconut croissant was AMAZING not too sweet but sweet enough. The tomato toast was also delicious and had a sweet (the ricotta) and savory flavor. You have to try this place, like it's a MUST if you like pastries.

    It's a similarly priced alternative to Starbucks for those of us who prefer local places. Welcome addition to the neighborhood.

I loved the selection of pastries they offered--the pandan pastry was definitely my favorite. My husband ordered the drip coffee over ice, and I got the Vietnamese iced coffee. Both coffees were excellent. The Vietnamese coffee was a bit too sweet for my taste, and it was served in a very small glass. I think it would have been even better with a little more coffee to balance the sweetness. For lunch, we ordered the kimbap and the egg bowl, and both dishes were outstanding. The only downside was that it took about 35 minutes for our food to arrive. However, the cafe was extremely busy and clearly backed up, so we didn't mind the wait too much--especially since the food was so delicious. The indoor space is quite small, but they do offer outdoor seating. I can't wait to come back and try more of their Asian-inspired pastries and dishes. What a fantastic addition to the neighborhood!

    Believe the rave reviews -- it really is as good as people say it is…read more I didn't go to a single other place twice during my short trip to Baltimore, but this one had to be my last stop before I left. That should tell you something! I also genuinely did not think their most popular item, the crab pastry, would live up to the hype... but holy crap, it really is that good. It's such a unique pastry and it's so filling too. I love their coffee, and I ended up ordering a bunch of pastries just to try them -- every single one was a hit. Not a miss in the bunch. It's also such a beautiful cafe, with lots of students and people working and chatting. Such a lovely place to sit for a while. Highly recommend!

This location is great because it's so spacious. Our order was taken quickly and we were able to order what we wanted without having to be told anything was sold out. We did the two crab dip bagels, the Crookie, and the hojicha brioche aux craquelin. In total, we spent about $45. The crab dip bagels may seem pricey but they are actually very filling. Beware, once you are there, you will see other things and want to try them. I was conflicted about waiting until the next bake schedule hour to try the elote cornbread, but had to save that for next time because we were short on time. We really enjoyed our bagels, they were very tasty, but I also felt like still good but overly hyped. They were good, don't get me wrong, but just a bit overhyped. I personally wouldn't wait in line over an hour for them as I have heard others share they have done in the past. As for the other pastries, they were fine. We were quite full from the bagels so maybe we didn't give them a fair shot, but they were just "fine" to us. Nothing spectacular or out of this world. That being said, we were full and saw so many other menu items we would like to give a try to next time, so we will be back!

    Baltimore Bakery Crawl stop #1 of seven places! My best friend, her college bestie, her husband,…read moreand I spent Sunday 2/2 exploring different Baltimore bakeries. I tried one thing here, so this review is based on that! Pekara was a charming and unassuming bakery. It felt very Eastern European and when we arrived around 10am, a lot of things were sold out. This is definitely more of a takeout spot, but you are able to sit there if you'd like. The person behind the cashier was really kind and patient. We tried the blueberry puff. And for what it's worth, this was the group's top pastry of the day. I love that they toasted it up for us. The pastry itself was buttery perfection and the custard inside was really nice. One of us bought sourdough bread to-go that seemed really delicious. I'd come back to this bakery to try more.

When I asked the man working there if there was a physical location I could visit he said they shut down the physical location and only did markets because they'd only get 20 people a day, but famers markets have hundreds of people, but here they are on Yelp. Anyways, I purchased (1) of these cinnamon roll pans (apple crumble flavor), and (1) puff pasty wrapped hotdog (allegedly 100% hormone free, grass fed beef). Total was $24. Were they tasty? Yes. Should it be $24 for (1) hotdog and (1) pan with two cinnamon rolls? Looking at the prices on Yelp... maybe not.

I didn't want too much spice so I asked for the salsa on the side. It turns out the burrito had chopped jalapeños in it which wasn't listed on the menu in the ingredients. In the grand scheme of things that's not that big a deal but when a burrito and a coffee end up costing $29 it is. I also ordered the iced orange cardamom latte which was my favorite part of this whole visit. In terms of service the person working the register was nice, but that's where it ended. I found another staff member to be rude when asking for a simple request such as a cup of ice. If you'd like to stay here and get some work done they do validate your parking which is nice but if you're working on the weekends they limit laptop use to a community table at the front of the restaurant. Overall, not the best experience but I'd return another day hoping I can try more of the menu and that the customer service is slightly better.
