This place seems off the crowded beaten path of the rest of Annapolis and to me feels like the place locals go. Always go where the locals go!! No matter what, pick yourself up a market bun. To me it was like a delicious fluffy cinnamon sugar croissant. read more

Bakers & Co - Market Bun - Bakeries Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

Delicious and adorable place but wildly inefficient. Be prepared to wait in line for 45 minutes depending on what time you go. Strong suggestion to change they way you operate, Bakers & Co! read more

Cute little corner bakery with small town charm. Enjoyed the lemon poppyseed cake and cinnamon bun. My new go to spot when visiting Annapolis. read more

I came here with some friends on a weekend trip to Annapolis. One of our travel party had read about Bakers & Co. and was dying to try it. The strawberry scone was good, like a 4 out of 5. It had good, sweet strawberries baked right in and was soft, unlike a lot of scones I've had recently. The market bun, which I understand is wildly popular, was really nice. It had a great dose of cinnamon without tasting overly of cinnamon. One thing we all noticed was that they don't warm their baked items here, which is a little strange for such a popular bakery. Room temperature baked goods just aren't the same. The line never seemed to die down the whole time that we were there (we sat at one of the outside tables). They do have a variety of coffees and teas available, and service is pretty quick--not the friendliest in the world, but efficient. If I were anywhere near here again, I'd probably drop through to get another market bun! read more

Their almond croissant is to die for. Their breads are so fresh and tasty. Just love them.

Cute coffee shop in quiet part of town that isn't part of a corporate chain!!! Wanted to give more stars but settled on three. I would say the coffee and a hot chocolate that we each had was above average. However the ham and cheese croissants left much to be desired. If I didn't see a few tiny pieces of ham, I would just say that it was a croissant with a tiny bit of cheese. The pastries looked fabulous, so I would go back and give it another chance to try one of those and perhaps would have a better experience. On a Saturday morning up at 9:45, the place was completely packed and seating inside and outside was hard to find. Inside is very loud and small. Kudos to super nice staff and patrons who shared their seats outside with us. Would definitely go back and give it another shot. read more

I'm surprised I haven't written a review yet about this place. Nice random house that serves pastries and coffee. I will list a few aspects I find to be nice: *The pastries* - try the market bun, pastiche, and their scones Service - very prompt Quiet but social ambiance Free water Things I wish that were better: More space availability (for seating) The ability to warm up pastries The coffee quality - espresso drinks are pretty good, but I know they can do better Worth a try. When I even have a day off, or find myself in the area, I try to visit. read more

Delicious!! The bakery good are scrumptious! This tiny little place is perfect for meeting a friend for a cup of tea and chatting. But it is a little tiny for bigger groups unless you can sit outside. It can get pretty crowded. But it is worth the wait. read more

Their croissants are great!! But the scones could be better. It may be because I got the items from the Farmer's Market, but the scones were not crispy on the outside. And flavor was lacking read more

THE BEST BAKERY IN THE WORLD. I am a croissant connoisseur, they are my favorite thing ever. I have tried croissants all across Paris/Europe and these are hands-down the best croissants ever. Also a very cute local environment. read more

Bread and pastries are wonderful, but we have given up on this shop that's right in our neighborhood due to limited hours, long wait lines, and that they have not reopened the inside which used to be a nice cozy space. There are other options now around town. read more

Sometimes, the perfect breakfast is nothing more than a pastry. I was in Annapolis with a friend and we decided to grab coffee and a pastry before starting our day. My friend suggested Bakers & Co. to satisfy our coffee and pastry cravings. When we walked in, there were plenty of pastries to choose from and they all looked delicious. I decided to go with the Market Bun. The bun had a nice flaky exterior with a doughy interior and was wonderful. Often, my issue with pastries are that they are too dense, but this was not the case. I also ordered a Latte. The latte was delicious and came with my favorite thing ever, latte art. I was very satisfied with my latte and pastry and next time I'm in Annapolis I will stop in to try another one of their delicious pastries. read more

We went there as soon as it opened and waited in line. It was worth the wait. The staff were very friendly and helpful. All the pastries we ordered were delicious. Espresso drinks and hot coco were very good as well. read more

What can I say about Bakers & Co. that hasn't been said? If you're looking for a respite from the hustle and bustle of your day, stop in for a croissant and coffee. Basically every baked good I have tried from here is delicious, but the goat cheese and artichoke croissant and the pain as chocolat stand out, especially when warm they are quite delectable. People who drink Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts, or other sweet coffees beware! The coffee here is strong! I had a hard time finishing the dirty chai... If you're used to sweet best to go with something with flavoring. Fantastic little spot to chat with friends or enjoy a moment of solitude. read more

The best almond croissant since Paris! Come early as the line is long and they run out by noon or 1 o'clock. read more

Bakers & Co - The bakery counter. - Bakeries Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

Bakers & Co. comes up to mind whenever I picture the perfect spot for coffee and *croissants* on a Sunday morning. The shop itself sits comfortably at the corner of a beautiful and quiet Annapolis neighborhood. When you first step inside, you will be greeted by the smell of freshly roasted coffee and a very friendly and helpful staff standing behind stacks of oven-baked pastries. (It just doesn't get better than this). My personal favorites: #1. Goat cheese & artichoke croissant (kindly ask the staff to toast it for you before serving) #2. Butter croissant. #3. Almond croissant, which is very sweet and almond-Y but goes perfectly with regular coffee and perhaps another savory treat :-) read more

Bakers & Co - Butter & almond croissants. Toasty, flaky, Yum! - Bakeries Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

This place hits all of the spots. If you go on a weekend, it gets really busy, so make sure to come early. Right on the corner of off a main street, Bakers & Co is a must do. They have delicious pastries, quiche and coffee. We wanted to try a little bit of everything so we ordered a ham quite, market bun, almond croissant and blueberry bar. They were all AMAZING. My favorite was the almond croissant. It was crispy on the outside and deliciously sweet in the middle. It wasn't too artificial and contained real almond in addition to the paste. The market bun was my second favorite, it was crispy and slightly sweet on the outside, just perfect with coffee. The quiche is what you'd expect and deliciously creamy, I'm sure it had lots of good stuff in there, and finally the blueberry bar was the sweetest thing that we had and extremely filling. When we go back, I'm not sure what I will have, because I want them all again. Service was friendly and fast. This place is street parking only so if you can't walk to here from where you are, you might want to come early or at off hours. This place is worth the splurge for sure! read more

Products are excellent! Best ingredients properly prepared. No more needs to be said.

One of my favorite places to go on the weekends. The market bun & croissants are incredible. There is usually a line in the mornings but the pastries are well worth the wait. The bread is a little expensive but you won't regret it. Good thing they are only open Friday to Sunday or I would probably come here everyday. read more

Still the best ever! You need to make this your must stop destination bakery fix! I would drive out of my way to have heaven explode in my mouth with a bite of their almond croissant. Sooo good. Well. You can tell I am a fan, but the line out the door on this Sunday says I am not the only one. Just saying! read more

Stopped here twice over the Labor Day Weekend. Both times at or around 11am and selection was mostly picked over but the options were still delicious nonetheless. Would recommend the plain and ham//gruyere croissants as well as the many scones flavors. We ordered an iced chai and cold brew and it wasn't the best coffee/iced drinks I've had but a solid option! read more

Best coffee shop in Annapolis by far; five star staff, five star coffee, ten star pastries. My favorite combo: iced mocha and a certain flaky, buttery pastry (I won't say which one because I don't want it to sell out!). If you have the time make sure to eat in at one of their cute cafe tables for the full experience. Yes, they have free wifi. My only complaint? They need larger to go cups so I can enjoy even more coffee!! read more

Bakers & Co - Latte and my favorite croissant seated at an outside cafe table. - Bakeries Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

Have been here twice now and had a chance to try several things. All excellent. The breads we've had, rustico, baguette, and another we're all great. Well developed texture and well cooked. The baguette was our favorite and only half survived the car ride home as we kept picking at it. The chocolate almond croissant was excellent with flaky crust and a huge portion of chocolate inside. We've tried three different scones, savory and sweet and we like them a lot. They are classic style and not overly sweet. The muffin was well executed with a good flavor of orange rind and other fruits. It generally has a crowd but has a couple outdoor tables. Parking on street nearby is usually available. If you're in Annapolis, you NEED to stop here. True artisan bakeries are gems. Oh-almost forge- the cappuccino was excellent as well! read more

Best coffee, bread, and pastries east of the Mississippi and south of New Hampshire. I have lived in the DMV for some three years now and have never found espresso that's lived up to that from my home state of Oregon. Sadly, we're about a 30-minute drive from Bakers and Co, but that doesn't stop it from being our fave weekend hangout. Let's start with the coffee. Bakers and Co uses filtered water, the most important ingredient. They also hand pull each espresso shot to perfection, no automated machinery here. I'm not sure what beans they use but they have none of that bittersweet taste on the backend that's become so popular in light roasts lately. The bread. Here you will find bread fresh made daily on the days they're open (W-Su). When I was about to move to DC I had a coffee shop conversation in Eugene, OR with someone who used to live here. We exchanged pleasantries about lifestyle differences and then as I was leaving she threw out one more casual comment, "Oh, there's no good bread anywhere there, just prepare yourself." To make a long story short, boy was she right. Not until my man and I went to Maine last year did we find the real sourdough, grainy, crusty, handmade bread of our dreams. That is, until we found Bakers on a recent trip to Annapolis. Our particular faves include the rough and ready as well as the baguette. The pastries are great as well. I prefer their veggie croissants (e.g., goat cheese and artichoke, tomato) but the sweet treats are also lovely. Favorites of ours are the blueberry jam bar (think fresh-made granola bar sandwich) and any of their scones. What else do you need to know? Not much, just get there early! That's the beauty of fresh, hand made goods. **Update August, 2018*** I need to mention again that Bakers and Co. is completely allergy friendly. I have complete confidence in them in knowing what's in their food and happily communicating it. read more

I have visited this place numerous times over the past year. I have tried many of their pastries but have only liked their market bun, everything else is quite flavorless to be honest....a high price for average/below average food. Recently there has been a specific employee who has been holding the line up like crazy every time I visit. I notice he takes an extremely long time to make coffee and while he is making it, he will ignore everything else in the store (including customers). I can sort of appreciate his attention to detail but I waited on a Saturday with 4 other customers in line and simply had to watch him make a cup of coffee for about 13 minutes. He did not acknowledge anyone who was waiting in line or even say, "I'll be with you in a minute"-- just a very awkward silence for everyone waiting. Overall, the food is 4/10 (except the market buns, those are great) and the place seems understaffed. read more

Excellent food, bright clean interior, and strong coffee. What more do you need? The staff is so friendly and seem to genuinely love their job. This is the perfect way to start your day. Try: the strawberry scones, the ham & cheese croissants, iced coffee or iced tea. It's all fantastic! read more

Bakers & Co - Strawberry scone and blueberry scone! - Bakeries Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

Most excellent quaint little Annapolis cafe that exceeded our expectations in more ways than one! It was a drizzly (no make that pouring rain!) kind of day on a holiday weekend and so glad we stumbled upon this little corner bakery oasis! The baked goods are simply outstanding! They were selling out quick of many items, but, I snagged one of the last "Gotcha' focaccias" and I have to say, this might have even been better than what I tasted in Italy!! It was studded with kalamata olives and fresh rosemary sprigs and brushed with olive oil! Ate this by itself - the flavors were so delish! The coffee was good and strong and we tasted an almond croissant and ginger scone. Almond croissant tasted straight out of Paris! I just loved the cute little umbrella table that sheltered us from the rain while we polished these off. Fantastic experience that really was a highlight of our little weekend getaway! read more

I got here this morning at 7:50 and there was already 5 people waiting at the front door for them to open up. One person said, "they won't open the door until exactly 8:00. Not 7:59, but 8:00." My mother sent me to Bakers & Co for some Morning buns. I had never had them before and was curious what she was so insistant about. Then I tried one. Wow. So many layers of flaky butteryness. They also had other things there that looked really good. (especially the strawberry scones) But knowing my obsessive personality, I would have bought 10 of everything if I didn't force myself to leave after I bought what I had came in for. There's always next weekend, after all! read more

Great service and small place with great pastries. I also tried the lavender lemonade and it was awesome. I will definitely visit again

Chocolate zucchini muffins so moist, chocolate-y and delicious. Flavorful, not icky sweet. I get them at the farmers mkt

Roaches. Today. Came in and saw roaches in the food cabinet Have not had that happen here but considering the attitude at this place they probably clean as well as they provide customer service read more

Everything we tried was delicious. We were in town for a long weekend and our host recommended this place. The pastries are scrumptious. There's a long line but it wasn't too bad of a wait. read more

On a recent visit to Annapolis I had the pleasure of sampling some of the treats at this cute (but tiny) bakery. The market buns and croissants were delicious. Perfectly flakey. The coffee was also quite good and I love that they give you refills. I brought home a loaf of their bread as well, and it had great flavor and texture. I also really appreciated the fact that despite the fact that they were swamped with customers, all the staff were so friendly and helpful. We will definitely return! read more

We moved to Maryland about two years ago. I've been searching for a place like this since we moved. Having spent almost a decade in the Bay Area of Northern California, I've been spoiled by high-quality bakeries and excellent coffee. I'm pleased to say that Bakers & Co. not only met my expectations but wildly exceeded them--for the food as well as the service. I consider the morning bun to be the litmus test of any good bakery, and theirs might be the best I've had...ever. They're also not afraid to make the coffee a little stronger than most--something else I appreciate. The seating is somewhat limited inside, and the lines can get long during peak morning hours. But nary a week goes by where I'm not looking for an excuse to make the 45 minute drive to Annapolis just to get a cup of coffee and a morning bun. That should say something. read more

My wife and I made a stop while on a walking tour of Annapolis and Eastport on a weekend away in November. While I have vastly altared my eating habits in the past two years, places like Bakers and Co just throw my diet to the wind. I guess I could say that I eat well 95% of the time so I can save the other 5% for top-notch local bakeries such as this! I had a chocolate-filled croissant and a sticky bun, while my wife's recollection of what she had has passed...but suffice it to say our selections were wonderful...perfect for munching on as you walk the streets of Annapolis on a crisp fall day! If I have any regrets, it is that on a weekend visit, one can only hit a bakery like this once- or maybe twice- in a weekend. It's a stop I will look forward to on subsequent visits. In the meantime, for those of you who can frequent Bakers and Co, have a chocolate-filled croissant and think of me! So jealous. read more

We were visiting the fam from San Diego and happen to come across this hidden gem in Eastport! Their lattes are great. The staff was super sweet too. They even recommended another coffee spot across town to check out as they were closed on Monday when we wanted to come back. Love that they support other local, family run businesses! Can't wait to visit again. :) read more

A friend invited me to Bakers & Co. for lunch. I had the cold cucumber and dill soup and went back the next day for more! The pastries looked scrumptious, so I took a few to take home for "company". So glad I did! Their croissants are huge and perfectly light and flaky. Their cookies...also delicious. With both indoor and outdoor seating, it's a great little spot for coffee with a friend too, remeniscent of the romantic cafes in Paris. read more

Probably the best bakery I've been to on the East Coast! We ordered an Iced Dirty Chai, Lavender Lemonade, a Pastiche (which I didn't know was a thing until going here) and a delicious blueberry bar (not to be confused with their enormous blueberry scones they had as well). Their chai was deliciously spicy, their lavender lemonade had just the right amount of lavender peeking through the sweet, acidic lemon. The flakey puff pastry of the Pastiche was buttery and the rosemary, red onion, potato filling was to die for! Lastly, the blueberry bar was sweet but not overly sweet. It was the perfect to-go oatmeal bar in my personal opinion. I'd go here every day if it were closer! The only downside is that when it gets busy, there's no room to wait for your order to be called. We were struggling to find space for the customers who haven't ordered vs the customers who were waiting for their order and trying not to bump into the poor customers eating at their tables. It's quite cramped. read more

I am writing this review out of good intentions and hope changes can be made... I have come here multiple times .... staff could really benefit to be a bit kinder to "minorities" ... not all staff members but a few of them... not sure what the issue is During last months visit the artichoke croissant was really tough and hard and hardly any filling inside ... the regulars here know that the almond croissant and the market bun are the way to go ... the pumpkin spice latte didn't taste like pumpkin .... hot chocolate is good.... coffee is strong .... spiced tea cake is moist... barista creates cool art using foam ... few tips of advice though make sure to follow the golden rule of treating others with equal treatment read more

Wow! Thanks to Yelp, I finally checked this place out a few weeks ago and it lived up to the hype. My husband and I got an almond croissant and blueberry oat bar to share. The almond croissant was buttery with the perfect amount of almond filling. The blueberry oat bar was amazing and crumbly, fruit, and sweet. We loved the environment and quaintness of this place. I imagine when the weather is warmer, it would be wonderful to sit outside and read a book with a yummy pastry and cup of coffee. I look forward to coming here again soon. I also think it would be a great place to get some treats for someone else! I know I would gladly welcome anything from this place. read more
