Inside small

Baltimore Bakery Crawl stop #3 of seven places! My best friend, her college bestie, her husband, and I spent Sunday 2/2 exploring different Baltimore bakeries. I tried one thing here, so this review is based on that! This super cute bakery is extremely small. It's a tight space that doesn't fit a lot of people, but there are two really small round tables that could fit three seated guests. We came for the famous almond croissant, but unfortunately it was sold out by the time we arrived. We ended up trying the pain au chocolat. We opted to sit outside on their bench by their cute logo. I found myself wishing the croissant was a bit fresher, maybe because we came around 11 it changed something? I'd still return to try the almond croissant.

If they had the pistachio croissant every day I would give them a sixth star. They recently added breakfast sandwiches which I am excited to try soon!

Sitting in Maillard Pastries for 20 minutes eating a perfectly-baked croissant, I listened as the worker greeted customer after customer by name with genuine conversation. The sight shows what kind of place Maillard Pastries is- a neighborhood bakery that cares. It's a small spot inside a rowhouse in Hampden, but it's cozy. Most people get their baked goods to-go, but there are a few small tables for those who want to stay. My chocolate croissant was perfectly flaky on the outside while being warm and soft on the inside. The chocolate to dough ratio is just right.

I've been here a few times--the cashiers and bakers are always lovely, and the glass case of pastries always beckons! It's quite small, so I wouldn't expect to get the table unless you go at off hours. Food-wise, it's quite a variety! What they seem to be known for, and always run out of, are the almond croissants. They're quite good, with plentiful frangipane! However, I've also found the croissant itself to be a bit dry, lacking the buttery softness that a perfect croissant exudes. They usually have a collection of hand pies--I was underwhelmed when I tried them. Fine, but unexciting. Likewise for the cakes, which are good and pretty, but certainly not something I would travel for, and are overshadowed by their other offerings. However, I really enjoy it when they offer tarts! Perfect crusts, fillings that tend a little too sweet, but certainly delicious. I would certainly recommend whatever tart they have, regardless of other offerings. At my last visit Maillard had fig and honey tarts, which were beautiful and delicious!

Maillard Pastries is THE best pastry shop in Baltimore. I've been coming here since it opened & can undoubtedly say the service, pastries & drinks are unrivaled. The croissants are always *extremely* flaky and I've appreciated how their ingredients match the seasons. Right now, they've got a Tomato, Goat Cheese, Pesto galette that's so summery & perfect. Flaky & savory & the tomatoes melt in your mouth. In the fall, though, they turn to apples & squash. Their apple spiced bundt cake was amazing. My favorite regulars are the Morning Bun, Spinach Snail, and Ham & Cheese. Be sure to check their instagram stories for updated daily menus! I can't omit their drinks/cake menu either. Their house made honey syrup for an iced latte is so unique. Their cakes are gorgeous & always moist. I wish there was room to sit & hangout, but thankfully they opened up a second shop on Harford Rd with plenty of room & sometimes breakfast sandos! Totally worth the drive over there.

Happened upon the Hamilton location while stopped at a red light. What a great find! Even four days after purchase, 30 seconds in the microwave made the chocolate croissant taste perfect. Highly recommend this great little unpretentious patisserie.

Absolutely amazing! An adorable, quaint little bakery tucked into a brightly painted rowhouse. We stopped here after brunch to pickup some tasty treats for my brother's birthday. I checked their Instagram for what was available, and we ended up getting two boxes of lemon merengue tarts. They were excellent! Each bite packs a tart lemon and sugary sweet punch. Everyone in my family loved theirs and couldn't stop telling me how delicious they were. On top of how insanely good the tarts were, the employees were so sweet (pun intended ), kind, and helpful! We can't wait to come back for more! Official review from my GBBO-obsessed fiancée: it was absolutely scrummy. You deserve a handshake

Maillard has been consistently outstanding. Wow! I am so impressed with their innovative confections. They have such unique pastries and I am SO freaking happy they now serve coffee drinks such as lattes. I truly believe Maillard is the hottest bakery in Baltimore right now. I am excited to try their other location which I think has breakfast sandwiches. If this location produced an egg breakfast sandwich I would be here everyday lol.

Opened for six weeks, Hampden now has its own French pastry place on Chestnut, across the street from newly relocated Common Grounds and around the corner from recently renovated Charmery. Small quibble: Limited hours (Sat.-Mon.!) and food so good, they run out and might close before the 3 p.m. time. Otherwise, a citrus cheese danish and almond croissant I consumed were fantastic! They also have quiche of the day and carrot goat cheese puffs, among other savory categories. This is the real deal, amigos--or should I say mes amis!

What a great cake shop! I found the shop through Yelp and was coming into order a custom…read moregluten-free cake for a birthday celebration coming up. Not knowing exactly what I was looking for, the staff were outstanding assisting me with what I needed. I placed the order and paid for the cake and was about to leave when I decided that I wanted a treat for myself and I got a triple chocolate cheesecake cupcake which was out of this world. When I got home, I found out the birthday girl wanted an all chocolate cake and knowing that that was an option, I called the store back and asked if there was a way that we could modify what I had ordered for something else. Since it was more than a week before the cake was being picked up, they said it was no problem. Really great store, super location, delicious cake items, and they even have dog biscuits and pupcakes for our furry friends. Can't say enough about this place and I highly recommend to visit here if you're looking for a cake for a special occasion and if you need a gluten-free cake they have many options for you to choose from. The cake prices are reasonable here and this will be my place of choice not only now but for the future. I highly recommend a visit here.

I stopped past this black owned bakery after being recommended by a good girlfriend. The customer…read moreservice was not there for me. I wasn't greeted upon entering the store. It was only one other customer in the bakery at the time. When deciding which cupcakes to choose from there was no clear offering from the staff to assist with making a better selection. The selection was fairly limited so I just ordered 4 cupcakes (strawberry & sweet potato) to eat at home. The cupcakes were moist and delicious. I will definitely like to continue to support this business however, the lack of customer service was a little off putting.

I came here after going to an appointment in the area. The neighborhood this establishment is in,…read moreis definitely questionable. But i heard the sweet potato pie and cake was amazing. First, this is not really a retail bakery. So I had to hit a buzzer for someone to open the door. Ok...fine. someone did come out and let me in the store. The store looks in shambles. Literally there was like 6 half dozen carts of sweet potato cupcakes and a couple fruity pebble cupcakes in a small counter top fridge thing. Honestly it was super sketchy. The man sold me the sweet potato cupcakes and two fruity pebble cupcakes, but he was still wearing the gloves he opened the door with and my payment, so I was like well at least im the first person here. I did not see him take the gloves off after I left. The fruity pebble cupcakes were meh. It had this weird red dye to center of the cupcake and the icing was eh. The sweet potato cupcakes tasted like Thanksgiving. They really are delicious. I dont know how this bakery makes money, or who they sell to, but they need to fix up their store front. I saw that they were broken into some time ago. I thibk if this place was relocated and had a not so rough looking storefront it would do really well.

This bakery is awesome! Everything I got tasted fresh and well-made…read more My boyfriend and I shared the raspberry cornetto, strawberry maritozzi, and spinach and ricotta danish. My favorite was the cornetto; it was just bursting with fruity flavor. Nothing was overly sweet either, which is perfect for me! Decor is cute! There is seating indoors and outdoors. The staff were friendly as well.

Food: A.) Pizza - one slice of cheese and pepperoni…read more Disappointed. Very greasy, soft crust. There are lower key spots nearby that serve better slices. B.) Arancini Palermo - Extremely disappointing. It was slightly burnt, and despite being described as containing a beef and pork ragu, I couldn't see or taste any meat. I initially thought we'd been served the Formaggi and even asked the server, who confirmed it was the Palermo after checking with the kitchen. The meat was supposedly very finely minced, but it was undetectable. Overall, the flavor was off. Service: They were nice, but slow and inefficient. When we asked for the check, we waited for about 10 minutes and no one had come. I ended up going to the counter to pay. After I had paid and returned to the table, my wife told me the server was walking around with a check, likely had forgot which table had asked for it. Ambiance: This was the best part. We sat outside, beautiful day. If you want to come to sit down outside on a nice day and have a drink, it would probably be enjoyable.
