    The Station Market & Cafe is a cute cafe in downtown Frederick that features vegetarian farm-to-table dishes, pastries and drinks. Since the building used to be a gas station, the Cafe has placed picnic tables outside for those who want to enjoy the fresh air on a warm day. The decor is whimsical, warm and cozy. You can buy fresh produce from a mini farm stand inside the cafe as well as honey and other products. You'll find the standard drink fare on the menu: coffee and tea. There was a small sign near the register (I almost missed it) that stated apple cider was available, which I ended up choosing. I was little disappointed in the drink selection because I'd hoped to buy a matcha latte, but it was not on the menu above the register. I did discover that they do have matcha lattes on the *online* menu as well as other food items that were not advertised inside the cafe. The lady taking the orders was very nice, but I felt bad because she seemed a little overwhelmed. A gentleman stood in the kitchen baking and completing food orders. I noticed that there were fresh croissants and other baked goods sitting on the counter in the kitchen, but the only baked items available to purchase were cookies. I visited at approximately 9:45 on a Saturday morning (the cafe opened at 9:00), so I was surprised to see that none of the other baked good were displayed for purchase. I would have enjoyed a good croissant, but they were being kept in the back. The cafe was also eerily silent. There were maybe ten people inside, including small groups who arrived together, but no one spoke. Maybe everyone was a little bleary-eyed and still waking up, but is was kind of unnerving how silent everyone was. Don't get me wrong, it was the perfect setting for someone who needed to study, but no one was doing that. I certainly don't blame that on the Cafe, but it would be nice if there was some nice music playing softly in the background. I can't say that I had the best experience at The Station Market and Cafe, but I wouldn't deter others from trying it out themselves. Maybe I was there on an off day.

    Matcha was very milky. Very nice service and loved the syrup options but wouldn't get the matcha again

    This cafe is pretty cool. It used to be a gas station. It's very cozy and serve a lot of local product. The drinks and food were decent. The staff were very friendly. I'd come again when I'm in the area.

    The lady who took my order was very nice. They have sone picnic tables to sit outside and also sone cute indoor seating. The place is a small since it used to be a gas station, but its very charming. They serve only vegetarian food. I had the tomato sandwich with microgreens and it was delicious. Small sandwich, but good portion for one person. I say that because I was going to split it with my mom but it wasn't big enough. Sandwich took a while to come out. They have coffee drinks, pastries, soups and sandwiches. They have toys for kids to play with and my daughter was entertained (puzzles, connect 4). I would return to support the business.

    The food is SOOOO GOOD!! It's hard to find truly tasty high quality vegan gluten free food (honestly any kind!) these days in a restaurant. I was immediately charmed by the ambiance of the country farm feel. There is a small selection of fresh produce clearly from someone's garden. I opted for an "end of the season" peace for $1.50 (a steal, imo). The three of us found a seat outside in the sun. For drinks we tried the Rose of Sharon Hibiscus tea, Macchiato, French press and a pour over. I felt the tea was VERY mild, to the point of almost no flavor at all. I would try something else to drink next time. All the coffees were good. For food we started with the seasonal frittata, the Oyster mushroom Ragout over potatoes with Tahini, and roasted eggplant & tomatoes over potatoes with Tahini. We all agreed that the food was fantastic! The veggies are so fresh, the roasting intensifies their flavors and the tahini lends a creaminess. The potatoes were cooked to perfection with creamy centers! Oh, and the slaw was outstanding! Unlike anything I've had before. I wanted more!! Round two: cinnamon roll, cardamom fennel braid, GF vegan salted peanut butter cookie, & GF DF almond plum cake. I'm telling you that cookie was SHOCKING! It was the best peanut butter cookie I have ever had GF or not. I have great respect for the baker!! The almond plum cake was absolutely delicious, again it was a top cake (GF or not). The cardamom fennel braid was superb. A beautiful pastry crisp on the outside and tender inside with a lovely balance of flavors. I did not taste the cinnamon roll but was told it was fantastic as well, with a crispness to the outside and tender inside. The portions were perfect for us. Yes, if the portions were bigger I would still eat more, but after finishing our entrees, we definitely felt like we had just the right amount to eat. Because we are visiting from out of town and would not return on this trip, we made the choice to try a slew of baked goods also. Overall, if I lived nearby I would be a regular here. Easy parking, charming environment, food I could eat every.single.day!

    A hidden gem in Frederick. This little cafe has it all. Inside ambience, cozy with loads of personality. We had some of the pastries along with coffee which I might add were excellent. They serve vegan and dairy free food and pastries here. They also sell local honeys, dog treats and other little gifts. Truthfully though the outside needs a bit of work to draw you in. It's very easy to miss this cafe.

    Yummmm!!! Steamy fresh!

    Great food! From pastries to sandwiches, everything I've tried has been freshly prepared and delicious! They also have a small selection of local produce, including microgreens and mushrooms, and items made by local artists. There's a nice area to sit and read one of the books on their shelves, work on your laptop, or just gaze out the large windows while you sip your coffee! Only issue: it's hard to tell whether they're open or closed as approached from Bentz Street. Pull into the huge parking lot and take a look - if they're open (currently Wednesday through Sunday) you're in for a treat!

    At the farm stand there is seasonal fruits and vegetables from the owner farm.

    As a first-time visitor from out of town, this spot earned a place on my list of coffee shops that…read moreI'd actually love to visit again! The vibe was busy but comfortable at the same time. The busy-ness was a testament to its popularity, yet it was comfy and relaxed because there was a variety of seating areas where one could enjoy their beverage and/or food. Many were reading, listening to personal headphones, chatting with friends. The atmosphere was lively. I loved that the menu had a variety of items on it... Definitely something for everyone. This is one of the few shops that have a delicious cardomom syrup. I actually ended up ordering a second beverage because the first one was so delicious!

    I visited this spot this morning and had a delicious cappuccino! The barista even put a little…read morebunny on it. So I was really hoppy about finding this place. Until I entered the bathroom. And saw the "under" orientation of the toilet paper, which violates the original patent for toilet paper holders from 1891, where the paper clearly goes over the top. The "over" configuration: * prevents the roll from brushing the wall * makes it easier to grab with one hand * reduces accidental unrolling * and, most importantly, does not make decent people feel like they're living in a lawless society. What you have here is bathroom anarchy. I must admit that tile and brushed metal fixtures actually look really nice, which somehow makes the backward roll even more upsetting. It's like a beautifully plated meal served on the floor. Moreover, the ceiling contains approximately 400 judgmental eyes observing you while you attempt to live your life. The wallpaper on the ceiling (on the ceiling!!!) has a pattern based on the "evil eye" motif (sometimes called nazar), which shows up in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern design. Traditionally it's supposed to ward off bad luck or jealousy. All it does in this case is confirm the establishment has abandoned reason and at least one of the people who work has met a psychedelic mushroom. Still, the vibe everywhere else in this place is amazing and the coffees are very very good!

    Originally when I was browsing bakeries and pastry shops in the area, the listing said coming soon,…read morebut as I was milling about on Market after getting some fragrant teas from Voila! I saw people coming out of here! I didn't hesitate, I skipped right on across the street to see what I could see. The cutest Korean bakery! The same bakery you know and love from H Mart now has a stand alone location in the heart of downtown Frederick. I took a spin around, snapped some photos and then grab a tray to load up with goodies. I love that its self-serve. You can always get the one you want without the awkward and mostly ineffective pointing and direction giving from behind the glass lol. I picked up a nice mix or sweet and savories. I think my favorite was the spicy jalapeño ham & bacon roll. It was soft, spicy, salty, and just the right amount of sweet from the dough. You can order finer pastries, coffee, and boba tea from the counter and eat in or take it to go. I'll be coming here every time I'm in town for sure!

    We were driving through Fredrick on our way home & came across this cute cafe! I was originally…read morelooking for something else but when I saw this I had to check it out. It turns out it was a Korean bakery & cafe which was unexpected for the area. We got the salt bread & egg tart which were both great! They also included an extra small pastry as a bonus which was nice. As for the teas, they were on the sweeter side so I wasn't the biggest fan. I wish we could adjust the sweetness and the boba was ok, it hardened up pretty quickly. I'd return for thr pastries but not the boba.

My go to is the zucchini parmigiana, the pasta they give is lightly creamy and very garlicy with fresh spinach and tomatoes and I couldn't recreate the recipe even if I tried. Tried their Asian salad recently and sesame vinaigrette has a unique wasabi freshness. Huge portions for side salads. Definitely gonna try more of their salads soon. The place is also very cute on the inside and the service is quick and everyone who works there is super polite and helpful.

    I wanted to enjoy my experience at The Orchard, and overall the salad was good. I initially asked…read morefor kombucha, but I was told they were completely out. Thankfully, my server did allow me to substitute the sesame chicken into my Cobb salad, and that was actually a great addition. The frustrating part was that after we had already finished our meals and were ready to leave, my server came back and told me she had been mistaken and that they did, in fact, have kombucha available. At that point it was too late, and unfortunately there wasn't any offer made to make up for the inconvenience. Another disappointment was learning that The Orchard does not offer any type of military appreciation or support. In a community with many veterans and military families, that was something I noticed and found disappointing. Many other local businesses make an effort to show appreciation, and that kind of support goes a long way for those who have served and for those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. The food was good, but with so many other options in Frederick that offer great food while also making customers and the community feel valued, I don't think I'll be returning. A business's connection to its community matters, and supporting those who have served is something I personally look for when deciding where to spend my money.
