Ovenbird Bakery — Restaurant in Baltimore

I often grab a croissant when stopping in to Wine Source and was delighted to see they have a brick and mortar store at the Rotunda. The menu and the bakery items look amazing, I'll have to stop in for lunch. The cold cut sandwich looks like a stand-out.

One critique is that they should remove items from the pastry display case that are not available for sale. They had a cannele that looked amazing but it was apparently from the day before. So I had to ask if they had each of the items that I wanted to buy and wait while they assessed the rack. I picked out four things but in the end only received three.

They make such good coffee at Fells so this was a HUGE disappointment to learn when we walked in. Unfortunately means we’ll go here much less in the mornings and patron one of the many other excellent cafes in the neighborhood that does good pastries and...
