    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

Arrived in the afternoon during a busy weekend and decided to take out for desserts. My first visit and was underwhelmed by the service received. Rushed and transactional. Packaging was very sloppy and my napoleons were shoved to the side, making the clear clamshells very messy when I arrived home. If only the desserts were saving grace, but was left disappointed as well. As others have mentioned, the pastries do not taste fresh. The ricotta cream in the original cannoli tasted warm and gritty, the shell was stale. I noticed these were sitting out. The puff pastry in the Napoleons were soggy. The cream puffs shell was stale and chocolate topping was super sweet, unfortunately these were far from heavenly. Maybe another day, Vaccaro.

The vibe inside was relaxing. We were here for a few hours enjoying our coffee, tea and desserts and it was a nice place to pass the time on a cold, freezing day. The thing that dropped the review was basically the coffee and desserts. The coffee was fine, but just your standard coffee that you'd find at any gas station. The cannoli was overly sweet and the cookies we ordered felt stale. Interestingly, they charge more for sit down desserts vs. takeout. The servers were very sweet to share that we could order takeout and not have to pay the extra fee. Finally, not sure why, but there was not a lot of heating inside the restaurant. We ate with our jackets on, which was fine. But found that to be a little odd. Nobody seemed to know why they couldn't get the heat on. When it's below freezing, it would be nice to escape the chill. Overall, it was a nice stop. My kids loved it. But it was not without some quirks.

I realized that their online ordering was actually quite easy and their pick up hours were a bit more accessible than I remember them being. I ordered my sourdough loaf online a few days in advance for a Thursday pick up. I stopped in around 3pm and the loaf was quickly wrapped up for me. I asked if it could be sliced like the white bread loaf can but I was informed that the classic sourdough loaf is too large to fit in the slicer. I also love the fact that they offer a pay what you can program and a pay it forward option. And judging by their fundraising for important causes, this is a business I will continue to support. For $7, I thought it was a great deal for such a large and beautiful loaf. It froze and reheated very well too so none of it went bad. I wish I could try more of the menu but I should probably play it safe. If you're gluten intolerant and tend to be able to tolerate sourdough, I definitely recommend giving their classic loaf a try.
