My first visit to Havre de Grace, MD happened during a solo birthday adventure from Central PA to…read moreOcean City--and as luck would have it, Havre de Grace made the perfect halfway stop. After lunch at a nearby spot, I spent some time wandering through the charming downtown, popping in and out of local businesses. And then...there it was. Jamie Bakes. A bakery. Open. On a cold, rainy, gray Friday. On my birthday. After lunch. When I could absolutely go for some mid-day dessert?! SAY LESS. I walked into Jamie Bakes just after lunchtime and found the small bakery stocked with cases full of baked goods ready to go. From cakes to cookies and everything in between--Jamie most definitely Bakes. After a few minutes of browsing, I landed on the only decision that truly made sense: a Birthday Cake Stuffed Cookie complete with rainbow sprinkles. I mean...it was my birthday, after all. This thing was MASSIVE--big, round, and stacked tall with stuffing, frosting, and festive sprinkles like it understood the assignment. I'm pretty sure Jamie Bakes these specifically for birthdays like mine. Thanks, Jamie. $5.99 later, I was walking out with my birthday treat safely packaged in a to-go box and a spontaneous birthday picnic plan forming in my head. I discovered there was a lighthouse nearby and decided that would be the perfect place to enjoy my sweet treat. I found my spot, added a little "Happy Birthday" pick to the top (because we're committing to the moment), snapped a few photos, and dug in. And let me tell you--Jamie didn't just bake, Jamie delivered! The cookie was fantastic! Moist, chewy, and perfectly soft--no dry, crumbly nonsense here. The stuffed center had that cake-pop-like texture and flavor that made every bite feel extra indulgent. And the frosting with the rainbow sprinkles? Sweet, but not overwhelmingly sugary--just the right balance. My only complaint? That Jamie Bakes over two hours away from my house, because I would absolutely be making this a regular stop if it were closer. This is the kind of place that makes it very easy to justify "just one more" treat. Also worth noting--their hours are surprisingly generous for a bakery, which makes it easy to swing by when most bakeries would be closed. Jamie really said, "I'll be here when you need me," and I respect that. All in all, Jamie Bakes gave me the perfect birthday dessert moment. If you find yourself in Havre de Grace, do yourself a favor and stop in--because when Jamie Bakes, you should probably treat yourself.

Tik Tok made me do it and I'm glad I did it!…read more My co-worker recently had been seeing some videos about the food at Newberry Cafe so of course we had to make a lunch time stop to see what everyone was talking about. Newberry reminds me of your hometown bakery where everyone gathers in the morning for their donuts and coffee before heading off to work. Very much like many of the shops in the Bel Air area. The employees are super nice at Newberry. Really taking their time to provide great customer service to each patron that strolls through the doors. Although it was lunch time we settled on breakfast sandwiches with homefries. And I of course had to grab a donut because it's a must, and a latte. The breakfast sandwich was just what you would want to start your day, a savory piece of meat and cheese on a soft bagel. But the star of the show was the homefries. Cooked and seasoned perfectly, crispy on the outside and a soft texture on the inside. We both loved the potatoes. My glazed donut was divine, pillowy with just the right amount of glaze to not make the donut too sweet. The latte was a little to sweet for me, but I'm a little finicky with the sugar level in many caffeinated drinks. All the times I've ventured into Bel Air I never thought to stop at Newberry and I'm glad I finally did. I'll definitely be back to try more of their yummy donuts and breakfast sandwiches in the future.

They have various flavors of cookie dough but most of them were way too sweet. The employees were really nice and friendly and helped us make a decision and offered us any flavor for us to try first. After trying most of the flavors, we decided to get the life of the party cookie dough which is basically birthday cake dough with sprinkles. We paid about $5-6 for the smallest size. We both shared one and were only able to eat about half of it. It was just wayyyy too sweet and after a little while you get tired of just eating cookie dough. I think if you're a BIG BIG fan of cookie dough, you'll love this place. But it is worth a try!

Very friendly service and there is seating at the side. I was offered sample tastes and tried a…read morefew. When I mentioned the Brownie Batter was very rich, the worker pointed out that unlike ice cream this cookie dough won't melt if you don't eat it all right away, so it can easily be saved for later and doesn't have to be eaten in one sitting. I think that's a good thing to keep in mind, as lots of the flavors were very tasty but heavy, and I was thinking a whole cup at once would be too much. I decided on a small Mint Chocolate Chip cookie dough. It had very good, strong flavor, and my cup had a lid for when I stopped halfway through and closed it up for later. It's not that it was a huge scoop; I just couldn't have that much cookie dough all at once. It's more filling than ice cream or chocolate that you don't notice disappearing. I like the selection and flavors, but the price is too high for me to get all the time. OTOH single-serving desserts are always expensive--see the $6 ice cream sundaes when a whole quart of ice cream at the grocery store can be $3.00. A small cookie dough was $4.99, but maybe if I get a larger size next time and think of it as 3 servings of dessert it won't seem too bad.

If the ice cream shop hours were also listed, it would be fine. Most of the young girls at the counter aren't very personable. There was a girl that was darker, maybe Hispanic or Hawaiian, and she was very nice. She helped me at the end because my sundae was melting onto the counter. Tonight I got a brownie sundae for $8.75. As always, there were only two flavors with a chocolate base. The one was just chocolate, and the other was almost identical-chocolate with two additional ingredients. Not enough. The girls NEVER-EVER put enough of the toppings on! Frustrating! Also, I told the one that waited on me that I wanted nuts, and she hadn't put them on. Glad I noticed! I FINALLY found out tonight that you can have as many of the toppings you'd like on the brownie sundae. You're not charged for extras-even extra hot fudge, etc. The containers the brownies are in are what the sundaes are put in. They're too small!! I asked for extra hot fudge, and that had to be put in a separate cup. Glad I did because she barely had any on the sundae. I went outside to eat my sundae because everything was dripping out of the container. As I was finishing up, a mouse ran right by me and stayed on the patio. I know I was outside, but feel that the tables could be wiped more frequently. They close at 8 pm, and I left about 8:15. The trash hadn't been emptied yet. When I got to my car a few minutes later, the outside lights were turned off. I hope that they emptied the trash. When I've gone there, I always wonder if decent ice cream is worth it. I'm not sure... PS - I "Edited" the post because I hadn't pasted everything from where I initially wrote it.

We opted for the regular-sized portions which were very generous, butter pecan for her and cashew caramel for me.

Many farm-themed tchotchkes were all over the space, too, which were all lovely. Staff was friendly and making sure the space looked its best. Bought milk from their cooler and a half-pound of their Aunt Josie's butter as we left (they brought the butter out from the back) and can't wait to try it! If it's half as good as that ice cream, we'll be more than satisfied. Looking forward to a return visit to sample some of their hot foods, too!
