I stopped in on Tuesday for a quick lunch. I had the winter market salad and it was so dynamite! I absolutely love the unique yogurt sauce that it was over and there was copious amounts of goat cheese. Super fresh veggies I’m not typically a huge salad person and this was amazing! I was met with friendly and super speedy service. I will definitely be back when I’m in the area. The inside is so beautiful as well and was all decorated for the holidays! Great spot to grab lunch with a friend!
This review is for bartender brunette Stephanie! We interacted with two Stephanies, the other had braids and glasses we chatted with her too, but she wasn’t our angel of a bartender who waited on us! I can’t say enough about Stephanie. She really gave thorough food recommendations, went above and beyond to give us info about their bakery, told us about their classes and joked with us about legoland lol. She was clearly busy also helping with tables, but that didn’t stop her from giving amazing, prompt service. She’s great vibes, will absolutely be back because of the service alone. And the food here never ever disappoints. That ham and cheese croissant was so yummy, great sauce and portion! Worth a visit for legit any dish.
Spending time in Maryland at the Baltimore Inner Harbor has been quite an experience. It's been around 30 years since my last visit, and I have noticed a lot of changes over time. The hotel situation here has really improved, with a plethora of eateries and, of course, the Inner Harbor Aquarium. While exploring the city, we stumbled upon a bakery that left quite an impression on me. The sheer size of the bakery indicated that they likely have a booming wholesale business in addition to their retail sales. They also had a charming souvenir shop and offered a variety of freshly baked goods. Although the restaurant itself was not very crowded, the bakery was bustling with activity. It appeared that they were preparing for the next day's wholesale deliveries as well as catering to the restaurant's needs. While we did not dine there on this occasion, I am eager to return and try the restaurant in the future. It looked very inviting, and I am sure it is a popular spot during the work week.
Stopped in during a brief visit to the inner harbor of Baltimore. Picked up a sweet potato whoppie pie to have later. It was DELICIOUS but a little on the pricey side. The cashier who helped me October 19th at 6:30pm was so helpful and aided my quest to collect stickers from my travels.
Stopped by Kneads for breakfast and overall had a pretty good experience! The service was genuinely lovely,friendly, attentive, and warm, which really made the visit feel special. I didn’t end up eating much. I wasn’t as hungry as I thought, but the food I did try was really good. The standout for me was definitely the almond croissant: flaky, buttery, and just the right amount of sweet. My brother ordered the steak, egg, and cheese on a sesame bagel with sautéed onions, and honestly, I ended up eating more of his food than mine, it was that good! The vibe was laid-back and welcoming. The service was one of the highlights: friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The coffee was decent, though I’ll admit I’m a bit spoiled by my espresso machine at home, so my standards are pretty high. All in all, a lovely spot for breakfast. I’d definitely come back. Hopefully with more of an appetite next time!
