I ran into her table at an open-air market in Solomons Island, and I'm glad that I did! She had a nice selection of sugar cookies with buttercream frosting in individual cookies, as mini cookies in a box, as well as a 'Nightmare Before Christmas' set. Ms. Tricia stated that you can always reach out to her if you are hosting an event or need customized sugar cookies for parties and get-togethers! I ended up getting the mini cookie box which had a cute fall theme. Service was very friendly and welcoming, and payment was super convenient, as they accept Venmo! +sugar cookies with buttercream frosting +customization services available +friendly staff!

I don't know where to begin!

What was given to me was not only a cake the size of a city block, but perfection. This cake was so amazing, I didn't want to let my son dig into it. You could tell off the bat that what was put into this was more than just effort, but passion. I rate Four Creations 6 stars, not just 5. Kayla poured her heart and soul into this cake to make it every kids dream, and for that you cannot put a rating on! Thank you so much and we will definitely be back!!!

Very pleased with this random side quest coming back from a Chesapeake beach! We were searching for…read morea local ice cream shop and finally found a great one in Mrs. Moo's at Spider Hall Farm. They not only had hand dipped ice cream and soft serve, to include every variation of sundae and milkshake and "blend," but they offered a lunch and breakfast menu too! They make all of the ice cream and most of the treats in-house. They also partner with local businesses to sell things like custom straw cups and lotion. The cashier was super patient as we sorted out our order, and they will bring your order to you at a table outside or to your car. Outside there are picnic tables, cafe tables, Adirondack chairs, and a swing set for the kiddos. The ice cream was soooo delicious! I got a blend, and there were huge pieces of candy included. Definitely worth a stop if you are nearby!

I don't know why it took me so long to come here. But the sandwich I got was absolutely amazing and…read morehuge. I'm not a fan of the ice cream-so 1 star off for that. Also, I wish they had indoor seating but it's too small inside. But the latte was really good too-basically an iced caramel macchiato but I think they call it the Bessie or Betty. Something like that. The sandwich had ham, turkey, cheese, bacon, and I asked for mayo instead of honey mustard. It's supposed to come with avocado but it didn't. Unless that's what the weird yellow/green sauce on it was supposed to be. I thought they forgot to leave off the honey mustard. But the sandwich was still amazing. The staff were super nice. The Amish people selling their produce were kind as well. Plenty of seating outside. I would come here again for the latte and a sandwich any day of the week.

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.

Came here today around 10:30 AM with my wife for our first visit and did takeout. I'm really glad…read moreshe dragged me out the house for this one. We ordered the oatmeal pie, almond croissant, wildberry danish, Black Market bun, lemonade blueberry scone, and a caramel cappuccino. Ordering took maybe 4 minutes, and our food was already being bagged while we were ringing up. The drink took another 3 minutes, which was more than reasonable considering how busy they were. What really stood out was the customer service. The guy behind the counter found out it was our first time and immediately gave us a free scone, then took his time explaining how everything works. He walked us down the line, explained what each baked good was, pointed out the most popular items, and even shared his personal favorites. As busy as they were, they still made sure we felt taken care of. There was also a young lady bagging orders who jumped in and out of conversation while working--just as friendly and welcoming. Service like that is refreshing and definitely made an impression. He jokingly asked if he'd see us next weekend... and yeah, we'll definitely be back. The shop was clean, noise level was moderate, and there are a few tables if you get there early or get lucky, but most people seemed to be ordering to go. Lighting was good, and I didn't really notice any music. Price-wise, everything felt more than fair for the quality. They told us everything is cooked fresh daily and they basically go until they sell out--which makes sense given how much business they were doing. The food was excellent: fresh, flavorful, and a great mix of sweet and savory. Honestly, the only regret I had was not trying the breakfast sandwiches--we watched a few being made and they looked serious. Overall, this was an all-around great visit. The way they operate is unique, the food is top-tier, and I can absolutely see why people rush in to grab their favorites before things sell out. Without a doubt, we'll be back.

I just regret we had already eaten and were just popping in for a quick coffee perk to go. We will definitely be back. If I'm gonna be brokenhearted that the space no longer houses my favorite little indoor farmers market, then this is the type of new tenant that makes me a little less sad & bitter about it! The service was friendly and really fast, we loved that it was busy and they had plenty of employees to take care of customers. Unfortunately they didn't have a dark roast drip but the medium roast we got was good. Also their selection of tchotchkes, postcards and local souvenir/memorabilia was a real standout... for two people who typically don't buy that sort of thing , other selections were clever, fun/ny, and attractive . Both of us determined next time we're back in town The Bakist will definitely be the place to pick up local/Chesapeake Bay souvenirs (as well as coffee and baked goods!)

The sandwich was stuffed into a tiny box making it impossible to remove without falling a part, she ordered a game egg and cheese and I received a wet ham slop It was wet for some reason and no egg so not sure what this was The whole experience was gross and very expensive for food I couldn't eat and a drink that was spilled before delivered

If you concentrate on it, you can smell that it used to be a car showroom. They seem to have a good menu of baked goods and coffee. Be ready for some non-sustainable prices. 1/2 box of donuts is running over $20 - somewhat of a Ducks Donut model with different flavors and toppings - which are cake donuts made to order. There are some beverage and beer and wine sales too. Folks working behind the counter seemed nice and friendly. Overall good vibe for Leonardtown. Since there isn't a Duck Donuts locally, this is the closest thing to it, but be prepared to shell out more money for donuts than the new DD down the street.

The counter and eating area was clean and cute. There are areas to seat, including tables and bar style tables at the windows. There is also an area with alcohol and sodas for sale. Today was a warm day and they had all the doors propped open to create a breeze. I could imagine enjoying a morning or afternoon working in there or visiting with friends. I look forward to returning and trying their baked goods (cookies, cakes and muffins).

First, a fair warning to visitors - if you do not know Spanish you will likely feel a bit lost and…read moreout of place. A lot of the signage was in Spanish and so was the language people spoke. I know enough Spanish to speak to a 4 year old, so I was way out of my league! I noticed upon arrival that they have some baked good, grocery goods, and apparently hot dishes given there were a few tables where people were actively eating. I just kind of strolled around for a minute looking lost. There is no one readily available to help people like me with the deer-in-headlights look. I had hoped to try an empanadas but it seemed intimidating so I strolled over to the shelves where there were various breads, pastries and cookies. I was still a bit lost because I first saw people with trays and grabbing breads but I thought they might be employees. But after wandering in another circle I noticed a lady grabbing a tray and tongs. I then saw the little sign that said to use the trays and tongs for the baked goods. I then followed the lady and managed to grab a few items. I had hoped for some cupcakes or donuts but saw neither. I did however get a cheese danish, a couple of cookies and a couple of breads. The items I got were pretty good and the bread was fairly soft. I certainly wasn't disappointed in any of the items I grabbed, I only wished there were a few other sweet items and a better system to better understand how best to navigate the store. But all things considered, the baked goods were good enough that I may very well be back to sample other items.
