We came the weekend after Mother's Day and got to try their Mother's Day tea. It was really nice…read morethat they offered four types of teas, mostly fruit based and two were caffeinated and two were not. You were encouraged to switch between the flavors vs stay with the same type of tea. This was the first afternoon tea where received a fruit and cheese board, salad, chilled fruit-yogurt soup before receiving the warm, lovely scone and the three tiers of sandwiches and sweets. Many of the sandwiches had some fruit like a slice of strawberry or peach in addition to the meat for spread. The tea china and presentation were wonderful as was our waitress. I thought it was a great value for the price. There was one bathroom on the level. Parking was around the corner or we parked farther down the street.

To clarify - we've only had donuts and the breakfast scramble, but - oh my! There's definitely a…read morereason for the line that forms every weekend a good 20-30 minutes before they open. The breakfast scramble is HUGE - easily enough for two people - and absolutely fabulous. And if you like donuts....well, we can never get out without a sampling of several of the fresh made creative goodies put out every day. The donuts and pastries are some of the best I've had in the entire region....highly recommended!

Ordered an Italian cold cut sub with light mayo, light oil & Vinegar, and pepper relish…read more What i got in my first bite was someones hair! The cold cuts were warm, and there must have been eight ounces of mayo on this sub! We were on a trip and had picked the food up to go, so it wasnt practical to try and return to the shop. So, i had to scrape off a huge glob of mayo and lettuce just to be able to eat half of the sub. This was by Far the Worst experience in my life of getting food to go and discovering a few miles down the road a sickening mess!

On the next trip, I tried the chocolate chip cookies and those are divine. Finally, the personal size Keylime pie is so rich and flavorful.

We are living in Florida, but wanted to make an Easter gift to someone in Sykesville. I have…read moresearched a lot trying to find a great local bakery who would deliver at home. Finally decaded to contact Once Upon a Crumb, called and left voice mail. Heidi called back and she was very helpful in deciding what to order. I got an email with confirmation, but I had to ask for another favor - if they would make a card for us- and they would!! They also changed delivery time at the last minute to earlier, as I have asked for it. I have received via e-mail a photo of our order as well . The person who received a gift is very happy, she sent a photos too, the great secured packaging. I am highly recommending Once Upon a Crumb, I cannot remmember when I had better, at the same tame proffesional and friendly service. When we visit Sykesville again, we will make sure to go there to meet all of them and thank them in person.

I have been in this diminutive establishment twice and have found it a great place to get gourmet…read morecupcakes. On our last stop, we tried the Cinnamon Roll Cupcake, the S'mores Cupcake and the Kitchen Sink Cupcake. All were amazing, especially the loaded Kitchen Sink variety. Their prices are fair ($3 - $4 per cupcake) and the people attending the store have been pleasant on each of our stops. There is no place to sit and I did not see that they offered hot beverages. So it is strictly a place to pick up your treats and go. The location is a little tricky. The only reason we found it the first time we stopped was due to the fact that we were moving between Chick-fil-A and Starbucks. Otherwise, it's tucked away a little bit and not easy to notice on a casual stop when visiting the establishments that comprise the major attractions at this exit (fast food and gas). But it's worth the stop if you know it's there.

The cupcakes from the bakery are absolutely fantastic! Moist, well portioned, clever designs, and…read morebeautiful colors. If you go in their shop any given day you are sure to find delightful treats. For special occasions, they can't be beat. They made sure to ask questions for the birthday cupcake order that I placed that I had not even considered when I initially made the inquiry. Cupcakes were made exactly as requested and promptly provided at the designated time in quality containers that kept them intact during transit with no concerns of tipping or smooshing. We will absolutely be ordering here for any other upcoming special occasion.

I've been coming to JeannieBird for a number of years, spanning back to when the dearly departed…read moreJeannie was still running the business. It's not only a joy to see the business still enjoying good success, but to also taste the enhanced skill of the bakers here. Make no doubt about it, the croissant here are authentic and delicious. Just the right amount of butter to bring out their savory character, with just a kiss of natural sweetness. The ham and Gruyère is an absolute pleasure. They have actual content; not just a tease of baked in ingredients. The financier were also perfect! I'm very much looking forward to seeing any additional Parisian pastries added to their counter. The traditional stars of their menu remain outstanding: the iced tea and sweet potato biscuits. While JeannieBird isn't always on my way to my usual destinations, this business is always worth a special trip.
