I've been a longtime customer of Jacquelyn's Bakery and have always believed in supporting local…read morebusinesses. Even when something wasn't to my taste, I'd come back and try something else--because that's what supporting small businesses looks like. I want local shops to thrive, not get swallowed up by big-box stores. That said, I was genuinely disappointed after seeing Jacquelyn's recent Facebook post. Everyone is entitled to personal opinions, but using a business platform to label people as "dangerous" and "unsafe" simply for having different views isn't community-building--it's divisive, and it's bad for business. Profiling customers and publicly signaling who is "acceptable" to walk through your door is not how you grow or sustain a welcoming business. As a result, I won't be spending my money here anymore, and I won't be recommending it to others. If the energy spent dividing the community were redirected into improving product quality--like making cakes that are actually moist and buttercream that doesn't resemble Play-Doh--it might do more good for the business than turning customers away. Supporting local businesses should feel inclusive, not conditional.

I'd known of Jacquelyn's for several years, yet had never gone in as we live about 14 miles away…read more We had our 2 yound granddaughters and decided to procure ffor them (and us!) a little treat. Goodies abound,cand there is a variety of caffeinated beverages as well as a number of tables. One in front seats 2 and is in a little nook, but was occupied. There are also tables in the rear of the store. Jacquelyn was working alone and was most affable and accommodating. We bought a bunch of things, including for later that day and the next. I'd highly recommend this for anyone with a sweet tooth, any coffee lover, and anyone fancying some gustatory delight!

I had never visited this charming little shop but was happy to try out a few of the sweets on display! I couldn't resist the Cinnamon Roll and it was the BEST I have ever had...anywhere!

'Twas a rainy Saturday in mid-May when, after shopping, some sweet treats seemed to be in order. The store is small and an approximately equal-sized kitchen is on the other side. The glass case had a nice assortment of delectable goodies. As expected, inside smelled delicious and the interior was inviting. I didnt catch the name of the nice lady behind the counter, although she was most pleasant, affable, and helpful. She did comment that although not the owner, shevenjoyscworking in such a tasty environment. I decided on a piece of strawberry cheesecake, and one each of peanut butter, sugar and oatmeal cookie. Ill definitely come back. Please check ot out!

On our wedding day, the cake was delivered promptly on time to the venue and in perfect condition. And not only was the cake beautiful, but it was absolutely delicious! We went with almond chambord, and everyone loved it... my family was fighting over the leftovers. My mom claims the cake was the best part of my entire wedding, and wouldn't stop talking about it for weeks after (not exaggerating). MULTIPLE of my guests independently told me it was the best wedding cake they've ever had. My husband and I both agree, unbiasedly! It was so moist and flavorful. The leftovers tasted just as good days later. We're counting down the days to eat the top tier for our anniversary! I highly recommend Karen for any type of cake! Thank you Karen!

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.

At the wedding I do not think a single piece of cake was uneaten. Fondant and all! Slices were disappearing before any more could even be cut!

Lemon cake with real fresh strawberry filling with a lemon butter cream frosting was what we chose but sit down and enjoy the process!

Bakehouse is hands down one of the best bakeries in Frederick. Everything is incredibly fresh,…read morebeautifully made, and absolutely delicious. You can really taste the quality in their breads and pastries -- flaky, buttery croissants, perfectly balanced sweets, and savory options that are just as impressive. Nothing feels mass-produced; it all tastes thoughtfully crafted and homemade. They open early and close once they sell out, which says a lot about how popular they are. If you want the best selection, definitely plan to arrive right when they open. Be prepared for a long line -- but don't let that discourage you. The line moves fairly quickly, and the quality is 100% worth the wait. The staff is friendly and efficient, even during busy times. Overall, an amazing local bakery that lives up to the hype. I'll definitely be coming back again and again!
