    the entrance to the bakery
    Darren A.

    Let's see what these cult fave 'dinner rolls' are all about. The history behind The Avenue Bakery is quite impressive. Upon entering, you are greeted with the oat magical journey through the history of Baltimore. It is truly something to behold / experience for yourselves. My "raison d'etre" for coming was to try these rolls everyone raves about! Okay, so here we go. 1) White Dinner Rolls - absolutely delicious!!! So happy I stopped by here to try these lil gems. I sliced a couple in half and laid them sliced side down in pan of butter to give a nice toasting. I also placed some in the oven and buttered once they came out. BOTH versions were BANGERS!!!! Yummm!!! These also come in wheat. SCORE!!! 2) Pecan pie (mini) looked delicious but I have it to a friend thy was excited when they saw it... lol. I'm sure they loved it. Presumptuous SCORE!! 3) Choc chip cookies - lacked flavor. Maybe hot/ warm, these would be better but they tasted like maybe butter wasn't used. The underside had a hardened coating like a wax or dried lard. Maybe this was a bad batch but these weren't for me. MEH! 4) Lemon Pound Cake - Now I LOVE me a lemon pound cake... any day, any week, any time but errr uhhh. This slice regretfully, was a bit dry & lacked flavor. MEH! 5) Peach Cobbler - Now THIS was a BANGER!!! When I got home, I melted some butter and sautéed the cobbler. It was BANGIN!!!! Especially when I served it hot w/ a scoop of ice cream! SCORE!! 6) Arnold Palmer - As always, this drink simply does NOT disappoint! Delicious! SCORE!! I will definitely be back for the rolls and to try a few other offerings.

    My pastries wasn't fresh. They taste a day old. I got there exactly when they open up. You walk up to a service window. Maybe I should had went there later in the day when that made fresh pastries

    This place is a treasure and a strong effort of a local couple to rebuild old Historic Pennsylvania Avenue....one business at a time. I was told to go by the director of the Upton Historic District ...weeks later I go and there she is to tell me more history. The bakery is famous for Poppay's yeast rolls. Among the best I've had in years. Soft, hot with butter. I took a dozen home. They also have pastries and coffee. In summer they have jazz in their courtyard. Read the history on the walls. Nicest people ever.

    Coconut cake, muffins
