The pastry was stale and the cookie was no better than a Chips Ahoy. The breads looked good though. I guess I'll never know for sure. read more

It's such a treat to live a half mile from this little gem of baked goodness. This morning I'm having a few slices of their whole grain bread, which is so delicious. Each bite is a a seedy treat of goodness! Love their cookies & pastries as well. They are also just nice neighbors. :) Thanks read more

The Stone Hearth Bakery - Whole grain bread loaf - Bakeries Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

I have brought from this establishment exactly twice. I had figured the 1st experience was a one off. I was craving something with chocolate and I didn't realize my favorite bakery on Market Street was closed on Wednesdays. When I found my favorite place closed...I took a chance to come back here since it was a few blocks away. I tried to give this place a chance since it's a small business but the experience was exactly the same. I paid $4 ($8 for 2 and not eating the 2nd) for what tasted like an extremely stale chocolate croissant (totally unacceptable) not even sure if it can be called a croissant...no flakiness to dough, but stale nevertheless, and bummer that I bought 2 chocolate croissants. I also bought a slice of cheesecake that cost almost as much ($8) as buying from the noted restaurant that's famous for cheesecake, except my slice was almost half the size of theirs. Can't speculate on freshness because I have no room to eat that today after the croissant...but I've already poked it with my finger and it already lacks softness and feels quite firm. We'll see what its like tomorrow. I think I've exhausted my visits here. Freshness is huge in a small bakery in my opinion, just saying. read more

I have visited this bakery weekly for the past few years and its STILL my favorite bakery. The staff are so kind and the baked goods are to die for. Try the empanadas if you're into those, or any of the cakes! read more

It was fine. I got cannolis and they were very overpriced. The bakery is kinda cramped and not a lot of space. The cannolis were good but I have actually had better cannolis from Vocelli's pizza which doesn't specialize in desserts. It was nice to try once but I probably won't be going back here. read more

I didn't get to take photos of this little bakery in Downtown Frederick, but I love this place and I'm so glad I found it. They have all kinds of decadent desserts from key lime cheesecake, to chocolate covered cheesecake, to different cakes topped with fruit. And even different types of loaves of bread and baked good items like pineapple upside down cake. There are so many options to choose from. So far, we have tried the white French rolls, the jalapeño and cheese bread, which I love!! I always buy a loaf sliced and just eat it with butter. It's so yummy because it's the perfect softness with a crusty crust. We even have tried the chicken and beef empanadas which are the best in Frederick so far. We even love the blueberry and cream cheese crossaints. Definitely a local gem with lots of different options for everyone. There is limited street parking and is a small location but you're usually in and out within 5 to 10 minutes if you can decide what to get. There is no indoor dining or seating especially during COVID. But there are a couple of tables if you're interested in having a cup of coffee and dessert outdoors on a nice day. read more

We bought a loaf of their country bread from a local orchard on a Sunday. By Thursday it had mold. That is unfortunate because it was delicious with pesto. read more

This bakery is AMAZING!!! My mother's birthday was a day away, they put my order in and had my 8" cake ready the NEXT day!! The cake was the best carrot cake i've had in a while. On another note , the staff was amazing and really helpful when it came to inventory and such!! It's a YES from me!! read more

The Stone Hearth Bakery - Carrot cake! - Bakeries Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

Been a while since I bought from here. Ordered the raisin walnut bread. Clerk put it in a paper bag. Ordered 2 Cannoli's, they out them in a paper bag. No plastic, Bread was hard as a rock. Cannolis were just ok. Will not return, read more

Only reason this place got 2 stars is because their tiramisu. The croissant chic chips is Sour. The empinadas everyone raved about tasted like bread with little flavor from either chicken or beef. I guess if u like a bunch of potatoes and dry bread, there you go. Neopolitan has terrible icing. Very sad. Want to find a good bakery in frederick. The H-Mart in Germantown has a good bakery. Maybe try some of their food and adjust recipes accordingly? Let me know if u do, I'll come back and try it. read more

Great breads. Tasty empanadas. Delicious pastries. Pleasant counter server. Place is quite small but they pack a lot of baked goods inside read more

Found this gem of a Bakery in Frederick, MD. Some of the best French Napoleons I have ever had. Custard was very smooth and the pastry dough was crispy without being to dry and brittle. The tarts are almost to die for. Blueberry, Raspberry, and Apple and many other fruit choices. The smell and flavor of the bread took me back to when I was a little boy and I would come home from school to smell my mom baking bread. It was the best journey I've taken in a long while. The staff was very courteous. Definitely will be back again. read more

decided to go in and check it out after passing it every day on my way to school. Bought two chocolate chip cookies and they were some of the best I've ever had, at a very good price. The man who owns it was very kind as well. overall a nice little bakery, highly recommend. read more

This bakery is set in the historic district of Frederick. I was looking for cannolis for a dinner get together. I found the right spot! This place has many delicious options. I only ordered cannolis but the next time I am in the area, I will definitely try some of the other pastries and maybe even a empanada if it's snack time. Everyone enjoyed the cannolis! read more

The Stone Hearth Bakery - Cannoli! - Bakeries Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

Our go to bakery in Town. Great staff, breads are awesome and we enjoy their deserts as well. It's really the only bakery in town that's not a part of a chain grocery store - and as downtown residents believe in shopping small when we can. We have ordered their tres Leche cake twice in the past months and it has been wonderful. read more

Poor service. Ordered 2 chocolate croissants and a French baguette. Croissants were dry and bread was hard as a rock. Don't know if they sold me day old bread but it was awful. Pricey too. Won't go back again. read more

I just love this bakery! This cake just took me over the edge! It was so light, fluffy and surprisingly not too sweet. I have been craving more of it ever since the first bite! read more

The Stone Hearth Bakery - This was the most delicious, moist, whipped cream frosting cake I have ever had in my life. I highly recommend Stone Hearth Bakery. - Bakeries Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

Based on ratings on Yelp, I checked this place out. I feel like the other reviewers visited another place. Note that the servers don't speak English very well. I had a cheese empanada for lunch. It was bland and room temperature. (I might have asked for it heated but I wasn't sure I'd be understood.) I had a Napoleon for dessert. Hardly see these now that I'm not up north. It was too lemony and the pastry layer was definitely not flaky enough. With a can of soda, it was $8.50 read more

I was looking for a Black Forest cake and this place had them! The icing is a whipped icing and the cake is fluffy - A bit too airy for my liking. Not too bad. read more

Best bread maker in Frederick. Pastries look good also. Parking is a little tricky, street parking on the side always seems available.

Cake was good in every way but my mom had a complaint that there wasn't enough milk in the cake so she said it was pretty dry.overall this place is the bakery I recommend read more

Lived in Frederick my whole life and finally went here. The sourdough bread was really good, I accidentally ate the whole thing over the course of a day. Oops. The chocolate croissant wasn't quite up to par with an authentic french pain au chocolate but fine in its own way. The cinnamon croissant was super yummy though. Happy to support a long-time local business, I'll come here first if I need a fresh loaf of bread. read more

See all

All I can say is that their empanadas are next level delicious. You can get cheese, chicken or beef all three are delicious. I got one every Saturday at the farmers market held at the fairgrounds in Frederick. I was telling a coworker about them and she informed me that the have a brick and mortar store right down town. My mind was blown! I pooped in there just to see what they had, cookies, cakes, croissants, fresh bread. Everything looks amazing. My next loaf of bread will definitely be coming from this little Frederick gem. I haven't tried their sweets personally but they look spectacular! I'll definitely be making my way back for cake soon. If you're feeling savory though definitely try an empanada. read more

WOW!!! My boyfriend and I love sweets and have hit a lot of places downtown.... probably all of the places and this place is the *best.* Amazing baked items, those people know how to bake. Also not over priced. read more

I used to come here a lot and really liked their desserts. however, the past several months it has not been great. I have gotten an eclair that was literally frozen in the middle and a cannoli that was soggy. Their prices have also gone up a lot, i spent $13 this week on another soggy cannoli and a slice of cheesecake. Other bakeries charge much less, so I think i'll be trying a new spot consistently now. read more

I've bought their breads at other locations, but this time I went straight to the source, which meant I also got to have cannoli. Seriously, once you use their hamburger and hotdog buns, grocery store buns never stand a chance. If you love grilled cheese sandwiches, the multigrain bread IS the best. read more

I got a cherry croissant and a cheese empanada. Both were good but not unique. The bread loaves were beautiful and attractively priced. They had a smaller selection and higher prices than i normally like for cookies and pastries. But it may be unfair to compare it with the ethnic bakeries in the northeast. read more

Cute little bakery. Very decent prices. I wanted one of everything by the time I was done. We usually visit friends and pick up a bunch of things for breakfast. read more

Came here twice and had the same negative experience. The ambiance in this bakery is really lacking, it doesn't feel welcoming or inviting and just looks like it was slapped together. More importantly the staff is beyond rude. No one says hello or greats you when you walk in and they completely ignore you and continue whatever conversation they were having before you walked in. We told the woman what bread we wanted and she didn't even stop to say anything to us and continued her conversation with the other employee. Instead of placing the load of bread into a plastic bag and closing it up, she put the bread in a paper bag and then threw in some plastic bags for me to transfer the loaf into myself. It's not like I'm incapable of doing so, but it's just annoying and shows the lack of care they have for their customers. The bread itself was pretty good but not worth the drive and horrible service. read more

Poor customer service. Walked into the store, person behind the counter said nothing, no hello how can I help you, nothing. I'm ok if people don't speak English, but They should at least know how to say hello or good afternoon. I looked around and there were many yummy items to choose from. I purchased some challa bread and a few pastries. Admittedly, they were ok and my family was pleased with the items I brought home. I asked if they do custom orders (I wanted carrot shaped or a conical shaped pastry or bread that I could stuff chicken salad into for Easter). Nope, they can't do it. No web presence either so if you really want to check out this store, you'll have to schlep here. But I wouldn't bother. Unless you are desperate to be poorly treated...... I am not aware of very many bakeries in frederick, but this place clearly does not care about obtaining or retaining customers. If I were you, I'd take a pass on this store. read more

Despite the good reviews on Yelp, I was very disappointed by this bakery. It began with the lady at the register who took a 20 from wife but only gave change for a 10. She didn't give consideration to our complaint. Next the baked goods were average at best. As we tried them my BS detector began to wonder if other Yelp reviews were friends of the owners rather than real customers. The place is walk in only with no bathrooms and an unfriendly vibe. Due to poor register skills and average food in an unfriendly environment we won't be back. read more

Love this bakery. First of all, the convenience of it (only a few blocks from my home) is incredible. The breads are wonderful. We've had the French Country and the Challah bread and keep coming back for more almost every week. The desserts and pastries are also yummy although I wouldn't say "top notch." But since we're usually there for our bread, we'll pick up a few filled croissants to go. They've done a lot of renovating in the past couple of months and it looks really great now. They have huge windows around the sides and front which brings in a ton of natural light. If you haven't been in a while, go back. You may actually want to buy a cup of coffee and sit for a while. read more

Just a stones throw from my house. I mean it is literally four doors from where I live. The service is great and the food, even better. Not since Europe have I been able to find such a fresh selection of pastries. The prices are great and the food solid. Don't forget to check out the banana bread along with the cranberry orange. The other bread is fresh and plentiful as well. This is always a hit in the office when I bring it in for my friends! read more

I decided to try Stone Hearth one day while looking for a local bakery. Stumbled across their website which didn't really offer much insight to the breads and sweets they make. So I stopped in. It isn't a huge space, but they have a good variety of breads, cakes, pies and desserts. Everything I have tried so far is delicious. My wife loves the black forest cake and tiramisu. I love the ham and cheese rolls and their cheesecake. Every time I stop in, I plan to get one or two things and end up leaving with a few boxes of pastries and such. I recommend every one try their work. The employees are always very friendly. This place is a gem. read more

My wife and I went out of our way in Frederick to visit here, mostly because of the rating on Yelp. We were unimpressed, to say the least. We got an apricot tart and a slice of key lime pie. The tart was so-so. Comparable to something you might get from a chain grocery store bakery. Pre-packaged. We each had one bite of the pie and we didn't want any more of it. Overly sweet, with sugar grit accentuating each chew. We agreed that it would have been better to get a lemon-filled Hostess Fruit Pie. They might sell something that's worth paying for, but this place certainly doesn't rate four stars. You're better off trying one of Frederick's other bakeries. read more

service was rude. when I asked what the different desserts were she became angry and said she would come back when I was ready. the products/sweets were ok read more

This is simply the best bread locally I can buy. I drive all the way from Sykesville, MD to get several loaves each month like clock work. I won't go anywhere else. No way. Great texture, mouthfeel and flavor. I love the multigrain bread, sunflower and rustic wheat. They are hearty, nutritious breads that I eat everyday for breakfast and use for sandwiches. they have a nice nutty flavor when toast with butter and jelly. Consistently great bread here, rest assured. read more

Finally, someplace I want to visit again and again. This is the first place i've found in Frederick that I have absolutely no reservations about recommending. My daughter and I split a chicken empanada. It was AWESOME. The filling was sweet/savory and packed with flavor- chicken, potatoes, raisins and plenty of seasonings. It wasn't hot, but I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be eaten at room temperature (or close to it)... it's essentially street food.... Anyway, it was awesome. Worth getting again for sure. I also bought a cannoli. Now, this was a test, because I am very picky about my cannolis... but actually it wasn't bad. It could have been a little creamier, but I was glad that they stuck to the traditional (ricotta filling) and they didn't ruin it with crappy pastry cream or anything like that. It was straight up sweetened ricotta. I'd rate it acceptable. I found the service to be friendly and prompt. I didn't have an issue being understood, and I would be happy to return here. In fact, I'm planning to go back soon. read more

This place is good as hell. My wife loves the cheese cake. The people are friendly. I've had better bread but it's not the worst. The parking sucks tho. But it's located downtown and there's nothing they can do about that. I went like 5 days in a row. On the 5th day the baker lady had on a Louie Vuitton supreme apron. At that point I said I'm spending to much money here and haven't been back since. I'll be back tho. For those who don't know that apron is probably 1000 dollars or more. It could have been a knock off. But I didn't chance it. The end read more

Excellent baked goods, no doubt -- but come here most for the empanadas! So good -- and great for any meal of the day
