BEST bakery in Baltimore! The food can't be beat. The knowledgeable baristas make the perfect breakfast accompaniments to match their pastries and insanely good sandwiches. Their seating is spacious and comfortable, feeling part of a community but not crammed into a space. read more

I've been meaning to stop by Pitango Bakery for a few years now (after falling in love with Pitango Gelato), and finally had a chance to visit this past Saturday. I opted to get a cold Chai Latte, chocolate chip cookie, and another chocolate cookie, and thought all three were mediocre. The chai latte was extremely bland (both in the coffee and the chai department) and the cookies were hard and also not very flavorful. In addition, their prices are pretty steep - $2.25 for the cookie and $4.50 for the latte, which I would not have minded if it had tasted better. On the flip side, their sandwiches looked good, so maybe I'll try that next time. I did like the interior - spacious, well lit, and perfect for getting some work done or catching up with friends. We ended up staying for a few hours before heading home. Overall, was very unimpressed by their food but to be fair, I didn't try their savory items. Would consider going back for the space/environment alone! read more

If you're looking for a lovely space for fresh elegant pastries and good coffee, look no further. They have amazing breakfast sandwiches on flaky, buttery croissants - make sure to ask for it toasted! They sell fresh bread as well and it's amazingly soft, flavorful, and carb-olicious! During sunny, warm days, you can sit outside right by the water. read more

Excellent breakfast and baked goods-avocado toast had great crunch and texture beginning with a toothy thin bread that was stable enough to pick up and eat a bite at a time. The greens and herbs were a delightful mini-salad with a light citrusy dressing that added just the right notes to each bite. The mix of flavors was an amuse bouche experience with a good sensory flow. Counter service was excellent, latte with lavender syrup was on point. Don't hesitate to enjoy a caprese in February- the tomato was ripe and provided delicious flavor to the generous slices of fresh mozzarella on a perfect croissant with basil. This was packed to-go for lunch, the avocado toast was filling. They also have delightful almond cookies that rival my go-to in nearby Little Italy, light crunchy exterior with chewy almond goodness inside, which happens to be GF. The place is very open and the entrance is on the side facing the water. Very scenic with ducks paddling, sparrows flitting about and the occasional dog while tackling some email during this nosh. I will be back. read more

I've been going here for years but this place has become even more trusty during the quarantine. They've been open with a limited menu but they still have delicious croissants, scones, breads, and drinks. I would argue they have the best croissants in the city and their scones are always flavorful and not overly sweet. I especially love their matcha latte! read more

There are several things that I am a sucker for: a great sandwich, and a good cheese plate being two of them. It's easy to get both of those wrong, and it can ruin the dishes. For sandwiches, you could have the wrong type of bread to match the filling, or the wrong type of spread to keep it from being dry. For cheese plates, the wrong type of accoutrements or just plain skimping on cheese. We came to Pitango for lunch and it was our first time ordering food, had gotten only coffee before. I tried the Mortadella sandwich, my wife tried the Rustico, and we got the "Small" plate (choose 2 of meats or cheeses). The Mortadella was delicious, with the ciabatta being so flavorful and complementing the fresh meat and cheese well, and the pistachio butter also was perfect. The Rustico had a crunchier bread (you could call it rustic...) and had one of the most out of this world tomato spreads I've had on a sandwich. And best of all, the "small" cheese plate, on which we got Asiago and Straticella, was piled high! There was so much cheese, so naturally we were in heaven. The cornichons and arugula were great compliments as well. On top of all that, I got a peach tart that was just the right sweetness and tasted very fresh, and a mint lemonade that was also well balanced (not too sweet, and just the right amount of mint). I think I found a new favorite lunch spot in Fells. read more

Fresh ,fresh well made, simple but ya feel fancy while eating it, food. Grilled cheese, charcuterie plate & the mortadella sandwich were just perfect. Sweet bakery items were allll good. The real hot chocolate is my fav, a lil goes a looong way so get the small. Its so good with hazelnuts on top. Cashier was kind enough to chop up a few on the spot for me. read more

Wow, is their gelato is good! It tastes just as amazing as it does in Italy. I think they put crack in their ice cream because I'm always craving it. They have some refreshing flavors like mojito, and they nail some classics like stracciatella (Italian equivalent of chocolate chip ice cream). I find their gelato refreshing, not too creamy, not too sugary, and perfect overall. They are also nice and let you mix flavors. The location has easy metered parking, both pull-in spots and parallel, and is the perfect place to stop after dining in the Fells Point area. read more

Always a great experience here. However, really miss the Beet Salad. Bobby was able to make a great substitute but the beet salad has always been a favorite! read more

Cute coffee shop right on the water! I love coming here for the breakfast croissant sandwiches. They have jam and marscapone and a prosciutto one as well. They used to be pretty small, but I think they just expanded and it's enormous inside now. There are plenty of tables, though it was still completely busy when I went on a Sunday afternoon. They have a wide variety of sandwiches, so it's pretty good for lunch too. They have free WiFi, so a lot of people choose to do work here, which I definitely do as well. I don't think the service is particularly friendly, but I still love the space and it's location. There's a solid amount of outdoor seating as well which should be great once the weather gets warm. read more

Their coffee was good, I ordered their sandwich with chicken and eggplants and it was delicious but I liked it to be warm not a cold sandwich. The bread was good and it was such a nice and friendly environment. read more

Omg, I'm in Baltimore for almost a year and so sad I found this place so late! One thing I can say I am in love with this place pastries ambiance outside everything read more

Stopped in with a friend to grab a snack and chat about life. The coffee shop is super bright and well lit with natural light. We found a nice cozy spot by the window. We both ended up ordering the salmon toast which was a bit pricey but really really good. The goat cheese and pickled beets rounded out the smoked salmon well! Super yummy. Next time I might invest in some avocado toast! read more

Must have been a busy day. I did not have the best experience but the company reach out to me and apologized. I'm happy to give it another try, as I believe the owners really do care. The quality of the food and style of bakery is what Baltimore needs. I will post images and review of my next visit. read more

Great spot for food and coffee in a really picturesque location! Can also be a great place to study because the place is huge and there are tons of seating options, but correspondingly, Pitango does get very very busy. Pretty sure all food/dessert options are great, you can't really go wrong here! read more

This little café has something going for it that made it impossible for me to give it less than 4 stars - it is right on the water. If you like a water view or a breeze (where there is one) while drinking a cup of coffee or enjoying a toast or croissant (and who doesn't?), this is the café for you. The food is pretty good, too, if you're in the mood for simple. My family went a few weeks ago, and most of us got some version of a croissant sandwich or a toast (mine had smoked salmon and beets) and coffees. It's not a broad or very varied menu, but it's good for a simple breakfast. But FYI this café gets busy. You like a water view with you cup of coffee? So does everyone else. The line/wait to order can be long. And you might have to wait for an outside table to open up if all are taken. Also, all the tables are pretty small, so we had to squeeze in to get five chairs around one. But it's still a lovely place for a breakfast or coffee. Go early and it won't be as crowded. Check it out. read more

I've been to Pitango a couple times for breakfast, as well as an afternoon snack. Each time the food was been absolutely delightful and today I especially enjoyed my almond milk latte. The only thing keeping me from giving a 5 star review is the service is sometimes hit or miss. The service is never outright terrible, but sometimes you're left standing around and waiting for someone to notice you. When someone finally does, it's as if they're surprised to see you, even though they've been standing behind the counter socializing with coworkers. All that to say, huge fan of all their baked goods, especially those flakey croissants!! I love that they use them on their sandwiches and have gotten a few filled ones as well. So tasty! read more

Pitango is a great coffee shop to stop by for a coffee and dessert after dinner. I really like their lattes! Their roast tastes creamy and not burnt like others. This time I tried their banana bread and it was really good as well. Highly recommend this shop if you're in Fells. read more

Coffee was okay but if you're looking for a cafe to work, I would not recommend coming here. The music is incredibly loud and they have speakers over every area so you can't really find a quieter spot. I was there at 9am and was surprised at the volume. Bummer because the space is very open, lots of tables and natural light. read more

My friend and I stopped here after our yoga class and was not disappointed. Portions are huge and delicious and you can get a prime time spot right on the water. It's the perfect spot on a beautiful day (or even a foggy day). We shared a chicken salad sandwich and then had their almond cookies. This italian cafe sells amazing sandwiches on phenomenal bread. Our chicken sandwich was on a delicious ciabatta with their heirloom tomatoes. I can still taste the goodness in my mouth. The cookies are beyond amazing and if you have never had an almond cookie, just don't think twice and go out and get one. I will definitely be back! This place is great to do work with a cup of coffee, grab lunch with friends, or meet up after work for a catch up session. I can't wait to come back and get some more of those cookies. read more

Delicious coffee, great location and vibe! While we just piped in for coffee, pastries and menu looked delicious!

Whenever any family or friends visit Baltimore, I always bring them here! Their selection of breakfast and lunch sandwiches, delicious charcuterie boards and afternoon cocktails is unbeatable. It is located right on the water so it always such a pleasant atmosphere. Is a bit pricey for a self service cafe, but the food is so high quality that it easily makes up for it. My only issue is that sometimes when I am studying there the WiFi is a bit spotty, but otherwise could not recommend Pitango more! read more

Pitango Bakery and cafe is located in the heart of Fells point. I walked over here to have a latte/lunch and do some work. Thoughts: -amazing location, right on the water -coffee/lattes are solid, excellent service -fast Wifi, plenty of tables, and a good vibe for getting work done -focaccia and deserts are great, sandwiches/salads are very customizable with fresh ingredients (but a touch pricey) read more

Love the setting both outside and inside this establishment but everything goes downhill from there. Both service and food were subpar. Service - both slow and lackluster. I waited for the long queue to settle and then approached the counter, ordering an already prepared sandwich. One employee took my payment while another employee took the pre-made sandwich out of the counter display and let it sit behind the display, saying someone else would cut it. You would think this wouldn't require a second skill set but hey - whatever. The special cutter skill set took another few minutes while he was doing something. When I asked he said "I will get to it." Sheesh Food - so after all that, I was certainly anticipating an epic sandwich. opposite that. Very plain, no sauce. After all the anticipation, I probably wanted/needed it to be mind blowing. Wah wah. The huge positive is the location and view. Wow. Suggest getting a drink (bottled water or something else requiring minimal effort from staff) and sitting outside. read more

Excellent coffee. We had cafe latte. Average almond croissant with interesting almond flavor but not crispy and not flaky on the outside. Wonderful atmosphere. read more

My favorite place to get a chai latte in fells. They have great breakfast pastries and sandwiches. If you're coming for breakfast get the freshly squeezed orange juice (it's as good as it always is). I'm always envious of the people who get to work here for the day since it's on the water and offers good food. Although it's pricey for a coffee shop read more

The establishment has birds flying through out and landing on tables and near your feet year round. Today a bird fluttered past my ear scaring me as I study. I don't know why the establishment doesn't do something to get rid of the birds but it's ridiculous and disgusting. The establishment is indoors btw, and you can't keep birds from landing on your table and the workers just work around it! read more

Made a stop on a Saturday evening and it was an incredible atmosphere. Outdoor seating with beautiful weather. Indulged in a Milano sandwich and a cup of their refreshing mint lemonade. Definitely recommend to those wanting a relaxing night in the beautiful city of Baltimore. read more

Pitango is everything I need in a coffee shop/bakery. Excellent and interesting breakfast choices, lots of coffee and a good chai, and plenty of places to sit. I've had work meetings, get togethers, and study sessions here. I love that it's close to the waterfront. You can't go wrong here! read more

This bakery was like being transported to Europe! All of baked goods and charcuterie board were delightful. If your in the area you make sure to stop by. My favorites were apple tart, almond pastries and the chewy almond cookies everything was amazing! read more

Great chai latte and welcoming seating area right at the fells point pier. Their avocado toast was nearly too aesthetic to eat but had surprisingly flavors of basil, mint, pistachio and more. read more

Pitando Café is the picture-perfect coffee shop: next to the waterfront, with a rustic yet clean look, and filled with cozy tables and outlets. There are plenty of students, professionals, and runners all getting their caffeine kick and satiating their sweet tooth. The space is beautifully lit and open, making it conducive for reading, having a small group meeting, or pounding away on your laptop. I was working on (actually, I was STARTING on) a 35-page, single-spaced Economics paper that my graduation depended on... Lo' and behold, I got it done with two visits to pitango. The baristas and bakers there are the reason why I have my degree now. The drinks aren't anything exceptional, but they are good. I tried the standard brew and the coffee was a slightly darker roast full of flavor. One note: there are birds that frequently fly in and settle near the ceiling. They don't hurt anyone, but they can be startling if you aren't anticipating their presence. They are not afraid of pecking at crumbs off the ground, so give them a little something if you get a pastry. read more

Love the atmosphere and location. Got the egg croissant and it was amazing. Tried their brown sugar iced coffee and it's better than the one at Starbucks. Would rate 10 stars if I could! read more

Came here a couple time and I always leave wanting more! All their gelatos are super creamy (but not too milk-y creamy tasting) and their sorbets are delicious. The smallest size (regular) comes with 2 flavors. I always go with the chocolate hazelnut or chocolate noir and pistachio (always pistachio). Their pistachio is heavenly. Tried the affagato this time as well with hazelnut gelato and I'm more in love with Pitangos than ever before. Their espresso was super rich but not bitter, paired with the hazelnut gelato was the perfect end to my afternoon. Seating inside is limited but they have a lot of benches outside to sit on so it works out very nicely when it's warm outside. read more

Nom nom! I got it to go and ended up shoving it in my face before I even reached the door!! Remnants of cruffin and powdered sugar everywhere! And that chocolate cookie... Flourless... I swear, there is some addictive substance in it... Well... Maybe it's just the chocolate ;) So the cruffin... I wandered on in to the bakery... Sad that bonaparte is gone... But the set up it exactly the same. And really pitango is awesome so maybe the bakery would be too?? So up to the glass cases I go... Not too tempted. Tried the sample of prosciutto bread - good btw- and was already full from lunch... And I spy the cruffin. On TOP of the glass case. What is this?? It looks yummy. Croissant muffin with custard inside... Um Yes!!! How could I resist? Then it was mine... But then at the register are the prewrapped cookies... What?! Flour less chocolate cookies... And they are to die for... So moist. So full of chocolate. So that was also mine. Kicker is that I got them to go... Ha! Waiting for my friends gave me enough time to be overly tempted by the cruffin and disappeared into my stomach it went! Oh well... I was satisfied!! Cookie? Yes tried that too at the bakery... Sigh... There is no waiting :D I would go back in a heart beat :) good thing I don't live next door!! read more

Pitango cafe is by the river side. I enjoyed the location and atmosphere here, especially when it is nice and warm. I had their latte and cruffin. Personally, I don't like their latte just because it is bitter than I had from other places (not sure if this is due to the coffee beans they use). However, cruffin was my favorite! I have never had it before. It is more like a combination of croissant and cream puff. It was not too sweet and I enjoyed it a lot! read more

Very mediocre sandwiches for the price. The sandwich was cold and dry. The bread was soggy. It's very misleading. You can watch the crew make your "fresh" sandwich in front of you. The taste does not match the presentation. I got the caprese sandwich which was honestly worse than the Starbucks caprese sandwich. Nothing special about two soggy slabs of bread, mozzarella, tomatoes, and lettuce. The "CHICKEN + ROASTED VEG" was bitter. The bread was okay, but the flavors really didn't work. The system for retrieving your fresh sandwich was also confusing. You have to stand for 8-10 minutes hoping to hear your name called once by the servers over the loud restaurant noise. Naturally, a few sandwiches were misplaced. Not impressed. read more

I love walking here with my dogs and working here. It's a bit too hot now to sit outside but I still love it. I always get one of their iced lattes and mint lemonade. It's so refreshing and delicious. Their sandwiches are good but I like their salads better. I recommend their beet salad. Since Pitango is a bakery afterall, I should try one of their pastries and breads next time! read more

My favorite coffee shop in fells point! The staff are so friendly and personable and really want you to enjoy your time, and the food is extremely good. I'd especially recommend the croissant sandwiches. read more

5-stars mainly because it is a great place to study if like me, you like a place that's not too quiet, but not super crowded and is welcoming to people to sit for hours on end. Menu is on the more pricey side, but offers a great variety of both food, beverages (including great coffee), and yummy desserts (mousse cup, baked goods). Highly recommend any of their sandwiches and dirty chai lattes!! Pro-tip: the corner seats that faces Ann and Fell street have tons of outlets! read more
