Three must-tries here at this El Salvadoran and Mexican neighborhood bakery go-to:…read more 1.) Get the breakfast platter with plantains, scrambled eggs, chorizo (sausage), refried beans, crema (similar to a milder, sweeter sour cream) and queso fresco (dry, salty squares of cheese). There are 3 variations on this breakfast platter, served all day here. You did not visit Flor Blanca until you eat one of their breakfast platters, shown in photos on the special breakfast menu. And, the rich coffee - to go with it - is definitely a thing here. 2.) Get the soft banana pudding bread (I don't know what they call it but it's the only dessert with a golden top that looks like a square slice of bread pudding.) Heat it up at home. It's tender and mild. Don't pour rum on top of this bread pudding because you may not be the same, afterward. And you will end up wanting more. 3.) Get the plain tamales and make sure to buy extra crema. You cannot find homemade tamales just anywhere outside of holidays. These tamales are so good. Meow meow meow meow. Listen, there is a lot of good food here. I love the plain white rice as it is seasoned well. So when it is served with an entree I sometimes get another side order to take home. The horchata drink was an early afternoon ritual for me, at times, along with the heated banana bread pudding. (If anyone knows what this is called I'll update the description.) People live to go in-and-out just to pick up a red tray and fill it up with pastries to go. Tempting! The cakes are moist and the cake pops are delicious. I love the mango tres leches cake here. And you can get a large, professional cake baked. There is a whole catalog of special event cake designs to choose from. Even though they close at 8pm, most people eat here much earlier, as I've seen and seem to finish before 7. I used to come here when no English was spoken at the counter. You could say the food names by navigating and pointing to the menu photos. It was like you were in a completely different country. Now, a few years later, all of the staff can speak to you. Either way, they were patient with me and my broken Spanglish. I really like the team, here. We have been here en la noche (night) - eating late and enjoying the food - and they have always been gracious and helpful. Just ask them what the most popular dish for that time of day you are there. I'm learning that we need to come earlier and take our food to go if it's after 7ish because otherwise we are sitting alone. There are so many menu items I didn't touch on which I've enjoyed, but do not miss the first 3! #localtastebyjenny

I like to think that "Chuck," as Peppermint Patty liked to call him, might have felt differently for the briefest of moments had he just been given a bite of Janelle's Crumb Shoppe Bakery's Cookies & Cream Cupcakes, Sensational Strawberry Cupcakes, or Caramel Apple Cupcakes. Although honestly, Janelle's cupcakes might have turned the graphic world of Peanuts upside-down, with Lucy forking over her Psychology practice's earnings, Linus surrendering his security blanket, and Schroeder giving up his piano! Luckily, there are no such dire consequences for you. Look for Janelle's Crumb Shoppe Bakery, based in Greenbelt (MD), on her website, where you can order the only things other than the little red-haired girl that could make Charlie Brown's heart flutter faster.

Having said that, it was pretty well run and after waiting in line I found two registers waiting and was able to order a variety of baked goods and a fresh sandwich, which were prepared for me quite speedily. I wouldn't expect to be in and out immediately at peak times, but for me it was maybe forty-five minutes to wait in line, get food, and eat my sandwich. They offer good options for special dietary needs. The vegan sandwich is based on Old Bay marinated tofu, and they are not kidding about that. It is really, really Old Bay flavored. The tomato and avocado livens things up, but honestly the best part of the sandwich was still the sourdough bread, which is fair enough for a bakery. The spread of pastries I acquired was resplendent in quality and variety, and I will be happy to continue trying out all the Black Market locations to see which one is the most convenient.
