Cafe Dear Leon was top of my list for places to try when I first moved to Baltimore. It was all…read moreover my social media and many people recommended it to me. I was worried that it would be overpriced and overhyped, but that most definitely wasn't the case. I first went on a Friday morning right when the crab dipped bagel was ready. There were a few people in line already bc they only let 6 people in a time. I thought it would be a mad dash to get the pastries before they ran out, but I've been several times since and they've always had plenty in stock, even when the line is down the block on the weekends (think ~30-40 minute wait). Okay onto the food itself! The crab dipped bagel is the star of the show. Such a unique, Maryland coded option. There is plenty of crab and the combo of crab, cream cheese, and cheddar really hits. It is pretty decadent, so I'd recommend splitting it with someone so you can also try the other pastries! I've tried a variety of their pastries and they're all amazing. You really can't go wrong!

We stopped by Doppio Pasticceria Sicilian Bakery for lunch with our two Grand-Loves (ages 6 and…read more10). It is a cozy, smaller spot, but the team moves really efficiently. We opted to sit inside instead of the patio because a rogue bee decided to bother the girls, LOL! The pizzas are made completely fresh to order. We got a Pepperoni Pizza for the girls and the Meat Lover's Pizza for my Wife(My BFF) and me (we swapped out the prosciutto and added onions). The girls absolutely loved theirs and knocked down 3 to 4 slices each! The crust had great crispness and held up firmly without getting soggy. The pepperoni and sausage brought tremendous flavor, though I preferred the Meat Lover's because the sausage and onions created that extra layer of savory depth. The crust edge was just a tiny bit darker than we normally prefer, but that was minuscule compared to the overall quality. Big thumbs up all around for both the food and the friendly service. Before leaving, we had to grab some treats from the bakery side to go: Cannoli: My Wife (My BFF) ordered this (fried shell filled fresh to order with sheep's milk ricotta, cinnamon, chocolate chips, candied orange, and pistachio). Classic and delicious. Bomboloni: An incredible fried yeasted doughnut filled with honey saffron pastry cream. The dough itself was so soft, pillowy, and fresh. The honey saffron filling is unique, light, and not overly sweet, my Wife (My BFF) wasn't as keen on that specific flavor profile, but I loved it. Cornetto: Essentially a giant, lightly sweetened laminated brioche croissant. Flaky, buttery, and light. We could easily eat these pastries on a regular basis. We're thrilled to have found another go-to pizza and bakery spot whenever the craving hits!

We got 2 pastries and 2 coffee drinks. I got a lemon spritz espresso soda thing which actually was delicious! My husband got plain iced coffee which was also good. What I didn't appreciate was my drink being served in a soggy, soaking wet/condensing cup. They use paper to go cups. They need to figure that out, it was pretty rough to hold - collapsing and soggy, not a great experience. Our pastries were just okay - got the fig/creme filled big puff and a spinach ricotta pastry. Both were fine, a bit dry, and I've had similar/better things from Tous Le Jous, cafe dear Leon, and even ovenbird. These seemed maybe not so fresh. They do charge a 15% gratuity for all orders so we paid about $4 extra for a soggy cup and only okay pastries. Ultimately we just didn't love the experience and the cost. I'd come back to try the pizza and sandwiches but I will have low expectations.

I want to tell you about my awesome trip to Moo Moo Ice Cream in Baltimore! This place is an absolute ice cream paradise. The staff here are super cool and welcoming, making you feel like part of the family. Now, let's talk ice cream. They've got a good selection, from classic flavors to some great combos. I went for the Mint Chocolate Chip. The vibe inside is so chill, with fun decor that gives you all the good feels. It's the kind of spot you want to hang out with friends, go on a date, or just treat yourself. Moo Moo Ice Cream is all about top-notch ingredients, and it really shows. If you're in Baltimore and want a taste of ice cream heaven, hit up Moo Moo. I'm already planning my next visit! read more

The most amazing and friendliest ice cream shop we've met thus far in Baltimore. Creamy quality ice cream. My waffle cone was thick, fresh, and crispy. The shops owners were so helpful and patient ... explaining all the delicious flavors before we made our selections. The best part is that they offer sundaes for your pups. My doodles consumed their desserts in less than a minute. We also got a bratwurst which was an added bonus. My husband took a bite and started nodding his head in approval. He said the sausage was really good. I hope everyone will try Moo Moo Cows! read more

The staff really put so much effort into this immersive experience - I will say the amount of popcorn was a dismal and really disappointing, but soon went away when I realized there was a whole school of snacks and experiences to come. Think water splashing at you, bubbles, dragons, fire! I really loved their ice cream and the campy experience of this movie. There were children there, but I did appreciate that they had the kids sit in the front and the adults in the back so it was a pretty seamless experience.

But trying 1-2 flavors is always appreciated. We wanted to go with something a little untraditional though and took a risk on the bourbon on the rocks.
