    the entrance to the bakery
    Darren A.

    Let's see what these cult fave 'dinner rolls' are all about. The history behind The Avenue Bakery is quite impressive. Upon entering, you are greeted with the oat magical journey through the history of Baltimore. It is truly something to behold / experience for yourselves. My "raison d'etre" for coming was to try these rolls everyone raves about! Okay, so here we go. 1) White Dinner Rolls - absolutely delicious!!! So happy I stopped by here to try these lil gems. I sliced a couple in half and laid them sliced side down in pan of butter to give a nice toasting. I also placed some in the oven and buttered once they came out. BOTH versions were BANGERS!!!! Yummm!!! These also come in wheat. SCORE!!! 2) Pecan pie (mini) looked delicious but I have it to a friend thy was excited when they saw it... lol. I'm sure they loved it. Presumptuous SCORE!! 3) Choc chip cookies - lacked flavor. Maybe hot/ warm, these would be better but they tasted like maybe butter wasn't used. The underside had a hardened coating like a wax or dried lard. Maybe this was a bad batch but these weren't for me. MEH! 4) Lemon Pound Cake - Now I LOVE me a lemon pound cake... any day, any week, any time but errr uhhh. This slice regretfully, was a bit dry & lacked flavor. MEH! 5) Peach Cobbler - Now THIS was a BANGER!!! When I got home, I melted some butter and sautéed the cobbler. It was BANGIN!!!! Especially when I served it hot w/ a scoop of ice cream! SCORE!! 6) Arnold Palmer - As always, this drink simply does NOT disappoint! Delicious! SCORE!! I will definitely be back for the rolls and to try a few other offerings.

    My pastries wasn't fresh. They taste a day old. I got there exactly when they open up. You walk up to a service window. Maybe I should had went there later in the day when that made fresh pastries

    Oh..my goodie ness!! Famous rolls, pound cake, sweet potato pie, cookies. The best of Baltimore. I wish I lived close by..this would be my everyday bakery with coffee. Mrs and Son/nephew sweetest peeps. Check them out..its worth the travel:-)

    On historic Pennsylvania Avenue blocks from the birthplace of Thurgood Marshall!!!  Best rolls I've had since high school!!

    This place is a treasure and a strong effort of a local couple to rebuild old Historic Pennsylvania Avenue....one business at a time. I was told to go by the director of the Upton Historic District ...weeks later I go and there she is to tell me more history. The bakery is famous for Poppay's yeast rolls. Among the best I've had in years. Soft, hot with butter. I took a dozen home. They also have pastries and coffee. In summer they have jazz in their courtyard. Read the history on the walls. Nicest people ever.

    First Timer... The…read moredecor is so adorable. The music is upbeat and soothing. It's cozy with seating for a nice friends meetup. There's metered parking out front. We heard about them on socials. We stopped in after my niece's school program. Our order for 4: 2 White Chocolate Raspberry Cupcakes, 1 Fruity Pebbles Cupcake and 1 Dulce De Leche Cupcake BBL "Banana Bread Latte", Banana Bread Matcha with Oat Milk, Blueberry Cheesecake Matcha with Oat Milk and a Strawberry Lemonade The others enjoyed their drinks in the car. I waited until I got to my destination to enjoy the delicious Banana Bread Latte. Both team members who served us were helpful and kind. The cupcakes were just as delicious as the drinks. It's not too sweet! We highly recommend! Can I get back here before I head back to the west? :-)

As I was coming back to my car, there was a traffic cop giving out tickets. Sistahs' Sweets is, as you may have guessed, owned by two sisters and features sweet treats such as cupcakes and drinks as well as savory items, featuring their homemade cheddar biscuit. Upon entering, the ambiance was light and whimsical with punches of red and pink decorations and limited seating inside (wi fi is available) along with outside seating. The staff was pleasant and I placed my order: a crab dip stuffed Baltimore biscuit, a breakfast biscuit (consisting of egg, bacon on a cheddar biscuit), and blueberry Passionfruit and summer peach lemonades. My order was ready in no time. First the breakfast biscuit. The bacon and egg were perfectly cooked and sandwiched between a homemade cheddar biscuit, which was perfectly baked. This sandwich was really good. Now the crab dip stuffed Baltimore biscuit was another matter. The biscuit was nice a brown, but when I went in to cut, the inside was underbaked, dare I say raw. I was a little disappointed. There was a smear of crab dip inside, but not nearly enough to justify the price. I had to place it back in oven to bake enough for me to enjoy. Full disclosure, I did get a response from the owners who were very apologetic in what I received and offered to make it right with another one on the house on my next visit! Now THAT's customer service! Now let's get into the lemonades...both blew my tastebuds away. The blueberry passion fruit and summer peach had bits of fruit in them and all I have to say is that I really enjoyed them! Now my score was three stars due to the underbaked biscuit, but they could have easily gotten one of my seldom given 5 stars if that biscuit was baked through. Just more bake time is needed. All in all, I rock with Sistahs' Sweets and will gladly pay them a return biscuit not only to try the crab dip stuffed Baltimore biscuit again, but to try their other lemonades, cupcakes, and savory items.

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.

    Gluten free , fun very good Indian vibe. Offset by tiny but great cafe. Take away…read more Near Union Station and Baltimore art scene. Recommend breakfast? Lunch , dinnner with Beer, wine teas.
