They have ice cream, but in looking at the ice cream in the display case, it looked like it had been scooped a long time ago. I could see the difference in the sides and where it was scooped like it was getting stickier or melted and refrozen due to time. The freezer case with options to bring home has a great selection of items that are geared towards gluten free folks. However, I noticed a lot of frost burn on some items. The items still look yummy, and I love the variety, I just hesitate to buy items that look a little older. The fresh case with cupcakes looks lovely for the options. They seem to have a good selection! They do have regular cupcakes and add in seasonal selections. There are also some gluten free options in the case. I've eaten cupcakes and cookies here, and they taste good. The prices are fair. When in a bind and having a hankering for sweets in the Westview plaza of Frederick, I would certainly consider dropping by here. The staff are friendly, and the parking easy as pie. So, it's not a bad choice for a little treat. It won't break the bank. Besides, it's nice to support a local business!

This is a certified gluten free kitchen but their food tastes so good you won't miss the gluten! The chicken pot pie is a must have in my opinion and I like that I can get it dairy free. Most of their food besides cookies, etc are sold frozen to be cooked at home but they sell French fries and chicken strips ready to eat. You have to wait a few minutes as they prepare them fresh but after having to be gluten free I Love, Love being able to buy gluten free, ready to eat, Breaded chicken strips!! read more

Beans & Bagels is a cozy breakfast spot in downtown Frederick with dog friendly outdoor seating…read more One thing that stood out was the service. We chose to sit outside, and the staff brought our food directly to our table as soon as it was ready and the food arrived in a timely manner. They offer a wide variety of bagels. we ordered the smoked lox bagel on a jalapeño bagel and the chicken salad on a sun dried tomato bagel. The chicken salad sandwich was a bit dry. Looking back, I regret not paying the extra 50 cents for lettuce. I also didn't get much sun dried tomato flavor from the bagel itself. The smoked lox bagel was good, but not the best I've had. The sandwich felt a little sloppy and unevenly assembled, with some bites getting much more of certain ingredients than others. The drinks were probably the biggest disappointment. I originally wanted an iced tea, but they only offered regular unsweetened iced tea. As someone who typically enjoys green tea or jasmine tea, I found the cold tea selection pretty limited unless you're ordering hot tea. The iced coffee also had a strange aftertaste that reminded me of charcoal. In addition, the iced drinks were served in hot coffee cups, which felt a little odd. There was also no simple syrup or agave available.

They also have imported deli meats, cheeses, olives, and sausages. They are even known for their homemade Mozzarella cheese. We entered and felt that the area was quite small. I don't believe 6 adults could stand inside comfortably for long. It was quite cluttered too. We placed our order and opted to wait outside. We were told that it would take 15-20 minutes to receive our order of two paninis. We ordered the Italian (prosciutto, sopressata, homemade mozzarella cheese, and sliced garden tomatoes, homemade basil pesto) & the Sicilian (spicy capocolla ham, homemade mozzarella cheese, sliced garden tomatoes, and red onions, homemade basil pesto). The sandwiches were quite tasty. I especially loved the delicious bread. The meats seemed fresh and the pesto was tasty! The sandwiches got the spot! Our paninis were approximately $12 a piece. I highly recommend calling your order in for pick-up. There's one small table with two chairs... It's not a dine-in restaurant.

We shared the muffuletta, served on a soft hoagie roll and layered with Juliet's homemade tapenade. It was excellent--bright, briny, and beautifully balanced. You can tell everything here is crafted with intention. A wonderful stop for anyone who loves authentic Italian flavors and a genuinely inviting atmosphere.

Stopped into Pretzel & Pizza Creations for lunch while walking around downtown Frederick on a Saturday and honestly didn't expect to like it as much as I did. The setup is classic slice shop style. You order at the counter, grab a number, and they bring the food out to you. The space is cozy with mostly 2 tops that can be pushed together plus a few 4 tops in the back. Nothing fancy, but it fits the vibe of a quick casual stop while exploring the area. One of the coolest parts is you can watch them make the dough right in front of you, which adds to the experience especially if you're waiting on food. The big hook here is the pretzel dough and it absolutely delivers. It's not gimmicky at all. It actually enhances everything. We ordered the buffalo chicken pizza and the Philly cheesesteak calzone. Both came out hot and fresh pretty quickly. The buffalo chicken pizza was the standout for me. The crust was soft and pillowy like a legit soft pretzel and paired really well with the buffalo chicken and drizzle of ranch. Super satisfying without being too heavy. The cheesesteak calzone was more dense, but in a good way. It held all the meat, cheese, and fillings together really well without falling apart. Definitely hearty. Honestly, it's tough to pick between the two, so if you're with someone else I'd recommend doing exactly what we did and splitting both. Also worth mentioning they have a surprisingly strong ice cream selection, which makes this a great one stop spot for both lunch and dessert. Overall, great casual spot and definitely worth checking out if you're wandering around Frederick.
