You can watch the bagel goodness be rolled out as you dive into an Everything with either lox or whitefish with cream cheese, red onion and capers. Capers aren't my thing so at the risk of horrifying the purists, I got my lox and smear sans capers. And it was outstanding for me. Great looking loaves of bread, cookies, muffins on offer as well but I kept it simple. Nice vibe with a number of tables and a wall-long counter with ample plugs so you can write Yelp reviews, watch the bagels get made, and do a little grading on a Sunday morning. Easy off the highway if you are like me going from DC to points west via 270 and in need of a breakfast that isn't handed out of the same fast food window that you've done countless times. Make your morning something distinct and memorable and drop by Twin Bears Bakery. You won't be sorry. read more

If you love quality bread and pastries and a good story, pop into Twin Bears Bakery. A product of COVID, the two owners opened a full fledge bakery inside a historic mill after baking break out of their home during the pandemic. Now, guests can walk into a beautiful bakery filled with antiques from the original bakery. Behind glass are many bagel varieties from original to sesame. I went with their veggie bagel sandwich on a sesame, fennel, and poppyseed bagel. It was delicious! To go, I got their brown butter chocolate chip cookie and sesame bread. Both were delicious! They also sell drip coffee from a local roastery that's worth trying. If you love good food and baked goods done right, go here! read more

This was the first stop on our trip that really set the tone for our visit to Frederick. Everything we got was top notch. The everything provolone focaccia was perfectly moist and had these delicious chunks of cheese that I am still thinking about. The flavor combo on the veggie bagel was soooo good and fresh. Andrew, the owner, was so welcoming and kind off the jump. Added bonus is that the prices are extremely reasonable; if I were local I'd come here every day. Such a breath of fresh air coming from the city read more

Came here for the first time and was blown away. I got a variety of bagels and spreads the vegan bagel sandwhich and a variety of muffins. Everything was delicious but my favorite was the salted bagel with the lemon dill spread, the vegan sandwhich, and the vegan guava muffin. I couldn't even tell it was vegan (as I'm not vegan). Customer service was excellent, the staff were friendly and helpful with suggestions. This has to be the best bakery in Frederick! read more

Finally, a bakery in the heart of downtown! Twin bears has been around for a while at local farmers markets, common market etc. but open their brick and mortar shop in January. For a bakery they have great hours as they are open until 4 most days. They have a variety of fresh baked breads (sourdoughs, rye, and others), bagels, sweets, and others. The inside is very clean and open as you can see all of the bakers and staff working diligently. The open concept is very inviting and the staff is always friendly. They have plenty of outdoor seating and the location has ample street parking. My only gripe is they do not have a grill so if you get a bagel you're really only limited to a cream cheese spread. read more

I stopped by shortly after their 6am opening to be welcomed by the aroma of fresh bread and bagels. Oh my! My choice: whitefish salad with red onions and capers on a still warm triple sesame sourdough bagel. Was it as good as it sounds? Oh my! I could not resist a chocolate cherry scone and a vegan chocolate chip cookie. A nibble of both tells me they are as twice as good as they looked. Oh my! They also serve smooth and robust Cannon Coffee, roasted in Hagerstown. Top notch! What a great addition to the Frederick County food scene. I can't imagine going for bagels anywhere else. PS: To the reviewer who docked this amazing bakery one star because he perceived they offered a limited variety of bagels, please note that the best bakeries make their goods FRESH DAILY and often SELL OUT of many things as the day wears on. For the best choices in a great bakery, ARRIVE EARLY. There were nearly a dozen tantalizing bagel flavors available here at opening. You snooze, you lose. read more

This place is the best! Frederick FINALLY has good bagels again. Ever since Market Street Bagel and Deli closed down, Frederick has severely lacked a place to get a delicious bagel. Everywhere else unfortunately tastes like repacked Thomas bagels. I've yet to try the other items at Twin Bears, but honestly the bagels are so good I will return again and again. The space itself is also very charming and cozy! It's a great spot to catch up with old friends over coffee or to strike a conversation up with a neighbor. 10/10 recommend! I'd rate higher stars if I could. Thank you Twin Bears for bringing amazing products to Frederick and beyond! read more

Stellar variety of baked goods. Super fresh and superb flavor profiles. Enjoyed the cheese bagels and herbed cream cheese. Service was speedy even though there was a queue. Very popular spot! Love seeing into the active bakery too, adds to the experience. read more

The setting looks splendid in this industrial area. I found the interior setup impractical; the barrier between staff and customer combined with the ambient noise made it hard to place an order, much less ask questions. I was also a tad disappointed that while they advertised bagels, they only had salt bagels and pumpernickel. Don't get me wrong, the pumpernickel was good, but it seems like a customer seeking bagels might want something other than two relatively fringe bagel varieties. The quality of what they had, also including an oatmeal loaf, was high, and I combined my bread with a variety of spread and dip options over the ensuing week to great effect. read more

The best sourdough I've had--so fresh, chewy, and flavorful! I also tried a bagel with their fig cream cheese and it was absolutely amazing. You can really taste the care and quality in everything they make here. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the whole bakery has such a warm, inviting vibe. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area! read more

Wow. What to get? We ended up getting salt bagels, a loaf of rustic wheat bread (sliced) and focaccia. All very fresh and delicious. read more

I was impressed with this place. We came late on a Sunday, so I don't think we got to see it in all its glory. But the muffin and bagel we got were good, and so was the loaf of Polish Rye. The owner also asked us how everything went, which was lovely. My husband is a Long Island bagel snob, and he said, "Good. Different from New York bagels, obviously. But good and obviously fresh." I asked, "So like The Maryland Bagel, the best it can offer with local grains and yeast and water?" He agreed. read more

My family and I love coming to Twin Bears Bakery. We used to get their sourdough bread at the farmers market so we enjoy being able to get it anytime now. We also love their chocolate chip cookie. It's delish! The space is so nice and open as well and the service is great. We will be back. read more

Hands down the best bagels in Frederick! Every bagel is fresh, perfectly toasted, and full of flavor. Friendly staff and great vibe -- I keep coming back! read more

The bread is the best! I love sourdough and they know sourdough! I am very appreciative that one day I was trying to get there to purchase their wonderful sourdough rye bread before they closed. I called to say I was coming and they told me that they had the bread and to come even if I was going to get there past 4 pm: they would keep the door open. I arrived a few minutes past 4 and was able to get the bread. The rye is baked with nigella seed which I just love! Ambiance is simple and friendly: good people, good product. read more

My husband and I booked Twin Bears to cater the sunday breakfast for our wedding weekend and we were so happy with how it turned out. The bagels are delicious (all sourdough, so make sure you like that style of bagel), the spreads are unique and tasty, and communicating with the staff was very easy. The owner was so friendly and kind. From booking to delivery to eating, the entire process was fantastic. Thank you! read more

Hello! I love your sourdough bread!! I drive from Harrisburg Pennsylvania to purchase your absolutely delicious best-bread-ever Sesame Tahini Sourdough. I buy several loaves at a time because of the distance. I often go through it quickly and I wish there was a local supplier in Harrisburg. Is there any way I can purchase your sourdough online? Thank you! Sincerely, Anna Pruett Harrisburg PA read more

TOP NOTCH BAKERY! Their cookies, scones, and bagels are so delicious. Oh and don't forget about their peppercorn and chive cream cheese!!! A must have every time I stop by there! easily the best bakery in Freddy! read more

We love it here! Their bagels & scones are phenomenal. Our favorites are the everything rye bagel & the blueberry buttermilk muffins. Still waiting to try out their cookies that I heard are fantastic! The staff & owners are so kind as well, we love supporting them. Just keep in mind if you're early risers like us- in the early mornings they space out their bakes on a schedule so that they're fresh for the main time crowds (like 10am). But then you risk getting sold out if you go at that time too so have to play around with a good timing to go. Either way totally worth it :) read more

Great bread and superior customer service. Stopped in with my elderly father and one of the owners offered conversation, bread knowledge and even a tour of their building. My dad lost his wife, my mom, of 61 years just a week earlier and we were both still emotional . The staff needs to know how much their kindness and patience meant to me. May your business have all the success you deserve! read more

Fantastic sourdough bread. Excellent chocolate chip cookies. I wasn't a fan of the scones or muffins- they weren't very sweet and were very dense and grainy. Lovely staff. A little pricey, but everything seems to be going up nowadays. Support local. read more

The bread is absolute perfection. The owners are charming, welcoming, and very interesting to chat with. When you go in to Twin Bears Bakery be sure to look around at the cool industrial architecture and the historical artifacts of the building's history as a bakery in the 1800's. This is a gem for downtown Frederick. read more

These bagels are like no other. The fermented sourdough make them light and fluffy. There is a nice variety to pick from, as well as toppings. Quite possibly my new favorite as I might start to crave them! read more

Late lunch time for a 1st visit. Bread selection was complete but muffins and bagels were gone. We picked two - spelt and olive oil and classic sourdough. Counter help was working on 1 st day at job, but others jumped right into teach so no delay at checkout. Will need to visit earlier in the day to do the full bakery experience. read more

Amazing sourdough bread - and a wide variety of selections from loafs to bagels to muffins

Nice bread and bagels. You need to arrive early to ensure they still have bagels, as they do sell out

Simply the best. The fresh bagels are the best in the area, crisp outside and tender inside. The cookies, holy cow! The scones, the whitefish salad, the cream cheese options - everything is delicious and top notch. Staff is always very helpful, welcoming and reliable. A bright, clean, welcoming streamlined space with a few tables to eat and easily accessible for carry out. Bravo! read more

Excellent place for bagels, baguettes, galettes and loaves of bread. I came on a Sunday afternoon and they had regular counter service with several fresh loaves on display. It was the end of the day so there were 3 plain bagels and a sesame seeded bagel-I bought the last ones, they were fresh and crusty and chewy awesomeness. Savory asparagus galettes were enjoyed later at home with a quick warmup in my toaster oven. Baguette (also the last one) was superb both for snacking on the way home and was great for dunking in soup. They have beverages and spreads for the breads, and it's a casual vibe. The staff are friendly and warm, and I was happy with what I had at 3:30...arrive early for the best selection of breads! read more

One of the best bakeries I've ever been to. We have tried their bagels, cookies, scones and muffins. Everything was absolutely delicious. I even think that their scones and muffins are the best I've ever had. The service is great as well. The owner chatted with us the first time we've visited and explained about the locally sourced ingredients. This bakery is an absolute gem and should not be missed by locals and tourists alike. read more

Twin Bears bread and bagels are spectacular. My favorite breads are olive oil loaf and the Miche. I partial to the pumpernickel but honestly everything is delicious. I find their products at Common Market, Sunday drops or Frederick Farmers Market. I can not wait for the new restaurant/store to open later this year!! read more

I discovered this wonderfully delicious bakery at the Sunday Frederick Farmers Market. I love anything sourdough and they do not disappoint! Their bagels are so good - chewy and crusty and just what I want! Their breads are outstanding. I was missing BreadFurst from DC but now I am happy. I hear they are opening a store front so yyiippppeeeee. read more

Delicious! I picked up some bread from the Market Street Farmers Market. I can't wait to see your place when the renovations are done!
