    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

I got a plain iced latte because I wanted to really taste their espresso, and it did not disappoint. It seemed to be a darker roast, which is my favorite. I love the vibe and seating arrangement in the restaurant, and all of the staff were super nice! Would definitely recommend!

    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!

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.

    How did I make it to nearly 50 years old before discovering Biscoff Cookie Butter? Honestly, I feel…read morelike I wasted decades of my life living in complete ignorance. I ordered the Biscoff Cookie Butter milkshake at Swirls Ice Cream Shop in Frederick, Maryland, and I am not being dramatic when I say it gave me goosebumps and made my toes curl. One sip and suddenly I understood joy on a spiritual level. It was creamy, rich, perfectly blended, and tasted like angels crushed up caramelized cookies and decided to bless humanity. I genuinely sat there questioning every life decision that had not previously involved Biscoff. But Swirls isn't just about incredible ice cream and milkshakes, the place has personality and it's cute. On many Saturdays they host fun events that make it feel like a community party instead of just an ice cream stop. One weekend they had Elsa and Olaf from Frozen hanging out with kids, another time they had a beekeeper featuring honey milkshakes because apparently these people wake up every day asking themselves, "How can we make life more magical?" Mission accomplished. Swirls is the kind of place that reminds you simple things can still absolutely delight you. Great people, creative flavors, fun events, and a Biscoff milkshake powerful enough to alter brain chemistry. 11/10. My life can now officially be divided into two eras: Before Biscoff and After Biscoff.

Husband had (and shared) cappuccino chunk, which was also extremely delicious and oh-so-creamy! Expect to be back to try the soft serve too - it's supposed to be even better than Jimmie Cone!
