They've been a DMV staple for years and have built a solid reputation in the community. They've since moved into a much larger space, but they're still in Laurel and in the same shopping center. The new location is bright, clean, and has plenty of room to browse their cakes and baking supplies. The cake and cupcakes were fresh, moist, and exactly what I expected. Their designs are always top-tier, and more importantly, they taste just as good. The staff was friendly, and my order was ready on time. It's nice to see a longtime local business continue to THRIVE. In my opinion, they are still the "IT GIRL!!!"

The space is large and clean. Parking is easy! This place has potential but they could improve on their customer service and the floor space design. Overall, I'd recommend! Update: I love that business owner, Ms. Laura responded to my comment so promptly. Oof, I know what it's like to be on a short staffed team and I thank y'all for maintaining a decent respectable atmosphere in spite of the circumstances. Despite that, what you got cooking back there, oh it's something good!!! I look forward to visiting again.

This is located across from the 7-11 in Laurel in a weird, neglected shopping center with very…read morelittle fanfare or attention or decor. The interior is small but has a great array of cakes, cupcakes, pastries, donuts, and other baked goods. The customer service was lackadaisical and off-putting, like I was bothering the employee for asking relevant questions about their items. I ordered two slices of cake to go, a grand marnier and a milk chocolate/white chocolate mix. They both tasted dry, unflavorful, and frankly not worth the $5.99 each. Boxed Duncan Hines cakes are better than this; truly a disappointing experience. I was so excited to try them because they looked incredibly delicious and well presented in the bakery! However, I will likely not return.

I said you have them on your menu, and I pointed them out on the electronic menu board above the register where there's a sign that says "Order here". The cashier couldn't care less. I got the chicken Nachos. The nachos had a white crumbly chees on top, which I assumed to be Cotija cheese, which I am very familiar with. Nope. It was the definitely the dry almost sawdust Kraft pregrated Parmesan "cheese". I thought the chicken would be grilled Pollo. It wasn't. The chicken had the texture of reconstituted freeze dried scrambled eggs. I own a food freeze dryer and I am very familiar with that texture. The yellow cheese sauce was definitely from a can. Skip this place. It's terrible

Pic below is birra tacos, tastes like delicious pot roast, corn tortillas fresh as can be, served with soup. This dish (14.99) and a single generous serving of rice pudding are enough for two meals. Bakery: In response to Yelper Lani M., it's true that the pastries and bread are dry and plain, but they are supposed to be in Guatemala, Mexico, and other countries in the region. The French style pastries and bread you are used to are made with lots of butter, cream, fruit jams, and sugar glazes that make them moist, rich, and strongly flavored. In contrast, Lain American pastries tend to be made without those ingredients to create a dry texture suitable for dipping in coffee and hot chocolate. Making the pastries flavorful would clash with the hot drinks. Think your noni's biscotti and your bubbe's mandelbrot.

This spot has so many wonderful food stands. Upon walking in, you can pick up a cart to explore all of the stands. My kids love this place as much as me since you can find so much variety. Our first stop is the very busy Amish soft pretzel stand. My kids love the standard soft pretzel dipped in melted butter and topped with rock salt. My personal favorite are the stuffed soft pretzels like the pretzels stuffed with roast beef and cooper sharp cheddar. Nothing tastes better! There are also many other stands that offer fresh produce, meats, cheeses and baked goods. I particularly like Bieler's Donuts, the same place you'll find packed lines in Philadelphia right here. It's such a fun place and my kids love it. But most importantly, this is dad's spot!

In the most visually-exciting sequence of Director/Writer Jalmari Helander's 2025 film Sisu: Road…read moreto Revenge, three Soviet Ilyushin II-2 Shturmovik ground-attack planes attempt to bring down the KraZ-214 armored, military-transport truck driven by the hero who single-handedly turned the tide for the Finns in the earlier film and in the sequel, set in 1946. Using his wits, his ingenuity, and unparalleled levels of skill and perseverance, Aatami Korpi, who earns the moniker of "the man who cannot die," escapes not just bombs and machine gun fire but a plane deployed as a missile. And yet, the most moving moment of the film is not found in one of its many arresting action sequences but in a single line of dialogue, spoken by one of six Finnish men, who, along with one teenager and one boy, carrying hatchets, axes, and tools, interrupts the battle-finished Korpi's work on his new home to ask in Finnish, subtitled in English, "We thought you might need some help?" Speechless and shaking with relief and joy, Korpi watches the strangers get to work on his roof, walls, and foundation. That level of kindness, assistance, delight, joy, skill, and service can be seen in every vendor at the Dutch Country Market Thursdays through Saturdays at 9701 Fort Meade Rd in Laurel, MD. Whether it is homemade pretzels, pasta salads, chili, produce, meats, cheeses, popcorn, donuts, or varieties of dark chocolate, candy, or fudge you seek, you will find plenty to whet your appetite. Mind you, most, if not all, of everything contains zero preservatives. Our advice is to buy what you can enjoy soon or share your purchases with company before it's too late.
