This is really two places in one. First you're going to have the gluten-free bakery. Which looked amazing. We got the coconut cookies and the peanut butter cookies to go and have been enjoying them all day long. In the freezer/refrigerated section they actually had full gluten-free cakes which I have rarely seen in any gluten-free bakery just sitting there ready to be taken as well as other to go meals for you. The second part of this establishment is the café. But really it's a very good Indian restaurant. They offer some other things that are not Indian. We tried the pizza served on rice flour naan but honestly, I would skip that. We got the orange chicken it is made with tandoori chicken and the orange chicken seasonings. It was so good. It would take me a while to get through all the menu, but I would happily do that in the honor of research. It has a fairly decent sized dining area and then there's a bar area as well. We were there for lunch so I'm not quite sure how busy the bar area is or if it's popular. We are always looking for really good gluten-free places because of celiac and we were thrilled to find sweet 27 Café and bakery for lunch. I would also note that they had a lot of vegetarian and vegan options as well. Again, I would be willing to try all of the tofu dishes that looked really good on the menu. read more

Super sweet lady working at this shop. We walked in on the way to the bus stop and the sign caught my eye because it said vegan treats! Lo and behold, they had a ton of different cupcakes and some peanut butter cookies to choose from. We tried a couple of the cupcakes, which were pretty frozen but they were really good. We clearly don't have patience but if you do, they are even better at room temperature! read more

It has been a very long time since I've been too sweet 27 and I went most recently for lunch all to find that their menu has completely changed from a Caribbean to now a full Indian menu. I really miss their plantains and collard greens but now they have a lot of tandoori and curries for lunch. It's oddly a very large space and I am honestly not sure how they stay in business so I'm rounding up my review to a four because I want them to succeed. From the outside the entrance is kind of hard to find because it looks like it's one, but it's in fact you have to go up the stairs to get to the main entrance. This is also a full service bottle shop. You can buy desserts to go as well as alcohol. I'm not sure how much inventory they move but the lunch that I got was good. It was a lunch portion so it was under $20 for some naan and a rice with lamb. You could tell they did make it fresh to order which I really appreciated. All in all it's not a bad place for a quick bite. I do really miss their old menu pre-Covid. read more

This place was good! I was looking for some place gluten free to go to while in Baltimore with my friend. We ordered an appetizer each as well as entrees. You seat yourself and then they come to you with some menus. Then they come back periodically. The food though so good. Would go back and as I was there definitely saw a lot of people from the neighborhood picking up. read more

Baltimore Bakery Crawl stop #7 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 bakery/restaurant combo wasn't originally on our bakery crawl list. One of my besties back home used to live in bmore and is gluten-free. I promised her if we were nearby I'd get her the nutella cupcake she requested. Since we were already there, we ordered one for our group too. The person at the cashier was really sweet in helping us pack up the cupcakes. There was a lot of seating available inside and some outside. While I loved how moist the cake part was, the frosting was way too sweet for me. We all found the cupcake to be more chocolate than nutella. The only hazelnut flavor we could place was the hazelnut half on top. We weren't crazy about the cupcake we shared, but my friend back home was beyond happy to have something gluten-free that she likes so much. read more

Yummy , Rich, Gluten -Free Goodness ! Sweet 27 is always a fabulous treat. If you are gluten free like myself, then search no further, this is the spot for you. I can't begin to describe how grateful I am for local businesses such as this who cater to the gluten-free folks. They have obviously placed alot of time and energy perfectly their recipes and it definitely shows. I've been here several times, but this time I purchased a few of their cupcakes for my husband and I to share. I bought the tiramisu cupcake, my favorite hostess cupcake, peanut butter chocolate, and chocolate/caramel turtle with pecans cupcake. I'm a huge lover of chocolate and these treats do not disappoint. Moist, soft, delightful deliciousness lol They offer full size cakes as well for special occasions. This place is my go to. They also have wine, other drinks, and an entire Indian restaurant attached too. I've tried the dinner food and its very good as well. It's literally a one stop shop lol. Great indoor and outdoor seating, and eclectic decor. I truly love stopping by when I can. read more

The Indian food is fabulous! I've not had one meal that I didn't love. The peanut butter tart is to die for and their cakes are delicious but they get very sloppy with transport. The cupcakes are good, but they've made the cake part much smaller and they're putting a ton more icing on it and that's unfortunate. They're still good though. They're vegan peanut butter cookie is the best I've ever had. I Highly recommend this bakery read more

Hands down the worst Indian Food I've ever had. The Saag Paneer tasted crazy bland, like baby food, and the vegetable fritters had clearly been fried hours ago. read more

I stopped by for lunch. Sweet 27 has always been an oldie but goodie!! I didn't order my usual, orange chicken. I ordered chicken tikka masala with a side of cabbage. I wanted it a bit more spicy but it was good nonetheless. Sweet 27 can be a bit pricey for the pocket to portion ratio. My meal for a meat rice and side totaled to 29.26 which included a tip. I don't know this is a place I'd bring the family as it can be costly. I do wish they would run some lunch specials. I have never been disappointed in the service or food. It's always great. I love the space as it's great for a date night or a brief break from the office. read more

How good is this?! Well we are from SC and last week we were going to see our daughter who lives in Baltimore for dinner. Asked her to pick a place and she chose Sweet 27 Cafe and Bakery because everything is gluten free which her dad, my Honey needs due to allergies. And tonight, as we were driving back from MA to SC, we decided to return back to this restaurant even though our daughter wasn't available, to try some different dishes. Still ordered the sweet potato as the side again as it's amazing to me. Honey ordered the Orange Tofu with the Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Sweet Potatoes. I ordered the Aloo Naan Bread and the Arancini Rice Ball since I was going to gobble up Honey's Sweet Potatoes that I fell in love with the week before. And it wasn't a one time fluke, it was delicious!! And Honey, who doesn't really like sweet potatoes tried it and really enjoyed it too. I so wish I could get the recipe. I was lucky enough to get one piece of Naan from the basket since Honey ate them all up, creating mini wraps of his orange tofu and mashed potatoes and some of (my ) sweet potatoes, or dipping it into the orange sauce. The tofu was delicious though last week's tomato tofu was better since we both felt the orange was a bit too sweet for a meal. Still yummy and the tofu. Oh, and since they had GF and some vegan desserts, we again got some this time but for different items. Honey chose the Hostess. And after some prompting, I had been having so many desserts the previous few days in Boston and thought it would be better to curtail the sweets, I chose the raspberry ganache tart (I think . . I remembered it said raspberry and tart, and it was so good that it blew our minds since gf and vegan too). The Hostess was incredible too. For the "cream" it must have been coconut cream which tends to have that coconut oil texture and flavor. The "cake" part of it was moist and delicious too. Extremely impressed. I sent pix of the desserts to our daughter who works at another bakery down a few blocks and has come here to buy desserts since her roommates need to eat GF, to please befriend folks here to learn the recipe to send to us or else she's going to have her dad and mom come visit often for these fantastic food!! The desserts are not cheap as the Hostess was $4 or $4.50 which is standard for cupcakes and a great price for specialty like GF. The tart must have been $8 or $8.50. One would think that's high, but then again, when you order a slice of dessert at a restaurant, that's the standard price. Yet, when you taste these desserts, you'd be willing to pay for these. We had the same woman both weeks. She was nice and friendly but in a more reserved way, giving you space to enjoy your meal and company. She automatically brought out an extra plate without our asking. If we lived in Baltimore, it would definitely be our favorite and would be a regular. We came on Sundays both times, but the restaurant has other activities on other nights . . . Ie Happy Hour (there's a whole section for the bar which was closed on Sundays), there's also outdoor seating that must be open on other nights. So many items to choose from read more

Little caveat to my review is that I got this food delivered - so I can only speak to the quality of the food (and not the ambiance, service, etc.). With that being said - the food I received, even after a delivery wait time, was absolutely wonderful!!! I got the rice balls, chicken parm, and pumpkin muffins. First off - I could not even tell that any of it was "gluten free." (I was actually truly worried that it wasn't but then I had no reaction!) The pumpkin muffins were something I could not stop thinking about and I truly wish I could have them every day for breakfast. read more

Sooo I've been driving by here for at least three months and today I said no more! I parked and got out. I had no idea it was like a whole restaurant, it being a bakery caught my attention. I went in with the idea to purchase maybe just two cupcakes to try them out, but it was something about how pretty and wonderfully made these cupcakes looked, sooo I ended up getting about 10 cupcakes , the staff was so nice and I couldn't wait to get back to my car to try one and hunniiii, let me to tell you something. I had the carrot cake cupcake 1st and it was THEE ABSOLUTE BEST CUPCAKE IN MY LIFE! My two daughters, son and my mom all had cupcakes and they LOVED THEM!!!! Thank me later, pull-up & get you some!!! Not too mention the decor was super cute.. it was giving very multi-cultural and I loved it! read more

I recently decided to cut gluten out of my diet to see how I might feel. The bad news is, I most likely have a gluten intolerance. The good news is, I have Sweet 27 nearby to keep me sane. This place is a gem. They have a completely gluten free menu including baked goods, Indian fusion dishes, and even a bar inside that is open on weekends. I recently ordered their chicken fried rice and I am obsessed. It's not your typical Chinese style fried rice but instead, it's their own take on this comforting dish. The chicken is seasoned to perfection and super tender. The rice is more of a longrain/basmati style rather than your typical jasmine rice. The veggies are plentiful and fresh. I also ordered their tofu bites, the veggie fritters, and their famous Batata Vada. My favorites are definitely the tofu bites and the Batata Vada. The Batata Vada is a potato fritter dipped in chickpea batter (remember, no gluten babyyy) and served with your typical mint sauce and tamarind sauce. SO GOOD. Pro tip: I like to save some of the dipping sauce and stir it into my fried rice for an extra razzle dazzle. I also tried the pumpkin muffins recently and was pleasantly surprised. They taste better when you let them sit out for a bit since they do refrigerate them. These weren't quite as unnoticeable of a gluten free option as everything else, but still impressive enough and satisfied my hankering for baked goods. All in all, I'm a huge fan. I WILL be back... like, maybe right this second. read more

They have all of the gluten free treats! I found it via Google and had to go in and grab a cup of coffee and a couple of cupcakes. It was so worth the random trip. Quick and easy service.

Food was quite tasty. My wife and I both enjoyed the flavor. But it was sooo salty. The naan being gluten free is a plus for my wife but we both agree it's not the texture we hoped for. The staff were super nice. The place is clean and comfortable. Looking forward to trying the gluten free lemon cookies. read more

Wow, this was easily the worst chicken tandoori I've ever had!! It was dry and over cooked. Which if I was cooking a chicken that was mainly bone, I'd probably over cook it. Save yourself and your money from this place. Definitely not recommended!! read more

I've been excited to try their desserts and ordered five cupcakes to bring to a family dinner. Out of all five, I'd only reorder two - the vanilla birthday cake cupcake and the red velvet cupcake. They were moist, well-baked, and just the right sweetness. The hostess cupcake was an extremely weird consistency, like a thick, underbaked brownie. I could barely get the wrapped off, it was stuck to the gooey cupcake inside. It felt like eating melted fudge and the consistency really threw me off. The chocolate raspberry ganache cupcake was fine, but it didn't really stand out from the rest of the cupcakes and the cake was pretty dense and it became denser in your mouth. A raspberry jam or drizzle would go a long way. The cookies and cream was baked well, but it barely had any flavor. I was expecting a pretty sweet flavor but it was very muted, even the icing wasn't very sugary. However, if you like toned down desserts or can't take too much sugar, this one's for you! I've only tried dessert so far, but I've read some great reviews about some dishes I want to try for lunch and dinner soon! read more

Sudden emergence of a sweet tooth? And specifically for vegan cupcakes? Never fear...Sweet 27 Cafe and Bakery has got your back! I was pleasantly surprised to see that Sweet 27 had a wide variety of vegan cupcake offerings! A few weeks ago, I ordered a vegan German chocolate cupcake and 2 vegan chocolate/raspberry ganache cupcakes. These cupcakes were AMAZING! I cannot emphasize enough how delicious, rich, and decadent these cupcakes were. I'm certain that a non-vegan would love these cupcakes just as much as I did! I can't wait to try more of the vegan cupcake offerings at Sweet 27, perhaps when I next get a sweet tooth! read more

What a find! So happy my book club picked this place. The happy hour deals are amazing; I got a so much food at such reasonable price- I was able to eat a large hearty meal, with two beers for around $20! I picked the General Tso Tofu, with rice & a beer deal. They gave me a hearty portion of rice, with herbs on top, that tasted so fresh. The tofu was cooked perfectly; nice and crispy, no soggyness, with ideal amount of sauce-not smothered. It tasted like a home cooked meal, prepared with love. The staff was super friendly-just know they do sit back and give you your space; we had to call them over when we were ready for the bill. They also let us sit at an up-top table instead of bar area only happy hour, because our group was so large. I definitely want to go back and try different happy hour specials and menu items. I saw someone nearby get the chicken wings and they look large and juicy! read more

I was in PD this week in the city and there was a day where I couldn't have the catered lunch. All fine and dandy because I finally got to try something from Sweet 27! It was just tacos but the mix of proteins and veggies were perfect! These chicken tacos were STACKED! Took me right back to Mexico. I just remembered that I also order collard greens w/carrots. Melted like butter in my mouth, perfectly juicy. Only thing missing for me was bacon. Sorry not sorry I like my greens with bacon cooked in. Just adds a little soul to it. Will definitely have to come try some desserts! read more

This review is for the bakery only. Came here for a sweet treat. Upon entering the business, which was located in a renovated rowhouse, we were greeted by a pleasant young lady. They had a variety of cupcakes ($2.95 each) and cookies packaged by the dozen. There was ample seating and complimentary coffee available. We purchased red velvet, cookies and cream, German chocolate, turtle, and carrot cake cupcakes. The flavors were good and not too sweet, just as I prefer. There is street parking available and garage parking less than two blocks away. All in all, a nice place to grab a sweet treat. read more

One of our traveling companions is unable to consume gluten without becoming violently ill. So, eating and drinking while on the road for our group can be somewhat of a challenge. Thank heavens for places like Sweet27 Cafe! The place is small and unassuming but, holy hell! does it pack it with amazingly delicious stuff! Unfortunately, due to COVID restrictions, we were unable to enjoy the full experience. We had to order our food and eat outside on cute little tables that littered the sidewalk. This actually lend itself for a perfect morning full of food and a little hair of the dog (see pic) I ordered the Lamb Vindaloo with mashed potatoes and curry chickpeas. Not not only was the food some of the most delicious I've had, but the portions were massive! My friend had a pizza that, just like my dish, was enormous for the right price. They also offer a good variety of boozy drinks including these bottled cocktails that were pretty amazing. Thank you Sweet 27 for making our first morning stop memorable in Baltimore! read more

Our new favorite spot in our new neighborhood. We just moved to Baltimore and our landlord recommended we check out this spot first. This little bakery (connected to their bar and restaurant) is a little shop with a few tables but a solid selection. When you walk in, your eyes are immediately drawn to the massive dessert case at the end of the cafe. They've got beautiful cupcakes and desserts to choose from, kombucha, beer, wine, and a full kitchen. We were here to eat. I asked the staff what they would recommend for a first timer. She recommended the sweet potato mash as well as the cauliflower manchurian, so we went for it. I say this as an Indian, those are some quality spices and flavoring. Served in beautiful metal baskets (similar to what you'd see at a Punjabi restaurant) we were excited. I'd describe the flavor as a indo-Chinese taste, which was fantastic. My fiancé and I split these items and we were very satiated. Will definitely return to attack desserts. read more

So I used to love this place. We would go at least once a week for lunch pre-COVID. I used to get the spicy chicken but today, I decided to try something new. I'm not sure if it's under new management, but I was sorely disappointed when I went to pick up my order today. The fries ($8) were good, hot and crispy. I wish they had a single serving for less money. Now for the main dish, the Saag Shrimp ($17) . I received 5 small shrimp....just 5. They were also overcooked. I feel duped. I'll try the spicy chicken again for old time sake. Hopefully, they were just having an off day. We'll see. read more

And I loved it. Would totally get it again. The staff are really friendly and helpful. You seat yourself at tables for lunch and they bring out your food after you've ordered at the counter. You can grab small cups for water or buy a different beverage. The atmosphere is pleasant but not the memorable part of the experience. I'd definitely recommend this great place.

Bombay tofu was absolutely incredible. Lightly dairy flavored, creamy, smooth. Basmati rice and sweet potatoes were okay sides but I would likely try something else next time. I had a bite of the orange chicken - very strongly citrus! Tart, not overly sweet. I prefer a lighter touch myself but if you're into big flavors, this is the thing to get. read more

Everything was wonderful for our family's dinner last night! (And the leftovers will be great for lunch the next two days) Thank you Sweet 27! My personal faves are the spicy coconut veggie soup and lamb vindaloo. And the chana masala and the garlic kale. And the plantains!! I could go on and on forever. It's a great spot and I feel so fortunate to have it in our neighborhood and miss stopping by on my walk to/from work. For my kids who prefer foods that aren't spicy, we like the tofu bites with mango sauce and garlic shrimp with rice. And, of course, the cupcakes can be good incentives when getting kids to try new foods! Oh, and we just tried their pumpkin pie for the first time and I think it is my new favorite. It actually tasted like pumpkin(!) and the crust was light, flaky and slightly sweet. Service was excellent. Zero wait. Highly recommend! read more

I can't believe I haven't written a review for one of my favorite places to grab a bite! So far, I've tried the veggie platter with chana masala, basmati rice, and black beans and plantains. All of it was delicious both separately and together. I also ordered the greens with black beans and plantains a different time. I didn't get a lot of black beans the 2nd time around but still good. Also, the greens are okay but not my fave. I learned that one okay side doesn't stop the rest of the show from being amazing. I recently tried the Manchurian Cauliflower. Oh, Baby! This dish is by far one of my favorite vegan meals ever! The flavors work so well together. This is a must try (and definitely a dish I'll have a taste for often). I always find a reason to make my way here to grab a cupcake or 2 (okay maybe 3, but who's counting lol). The toasted coconut is one of my favorites but they're all so delicious (added bonus: gluten free too :-) Overall, go here! You won't be disappointed! read more
