Stone Werks Coffee + Sweets — Restaurant in Boonsboro

New to the area, I've been in StoneWerks just a few times for a sweet treat and coffee. When it was time to hire someone for our wedding cake we looked into a cake tasting here.

The process was simple - messaged them to set up date/time, replayed back with 5 flavors we'd like to try and we showed up. We loved every flavor we picked to try,and went with two different flavors (two flavors for cupcakes and our favorite flavors out of the two for our cake). The owners August + Elisabeth were awesome!

Elisabeth spent some time with me after the tasting to get an idea of how I wanted everything to look(colors, theme, design and even cupcake wrapper colors). I sent her my wedding Pinterest board for ideas and told her to do what ever! I messaged them periodically regarding the amount of cakes stands I would need for the cupcakes(based on my vision) and they replayed fast with input.

Fast forward to wedding day - I didn't message them not once(nor did I see them LOL) they showed/delivered in the time frame, set some things up for the cupcakes(my friend/coordinator said they even offered help with setting up anything else around the venue! They set up our s'mores station ) and left DETAILED handwritten directions for the setting up the cake later on.

We loved working with them(I think they were the least stressful thing to happen during planning).

Moral of the story: hire them. Tasting was $30(if I remember correctly) which applies to your bill if you hire them. Delivery was included(which was nice, we got married 40ish minutes away). They offered us a one year anniversary cake which I think is extremely sweet and thoughtful. Everything looked and tasted soooo good and you'll be working with such a sweet couple!

Thank...

It breaks my heart to write this and debated for a long time whether to post a review. I was so excited to book Stone Werks as the baker for my wedding because I'd heard amazing things about this company from various friends. Of all the little things to go wrong on your wedding day, finding our your baker has completely forgotten your cake is unimaginable. And yet, it's what happened to me. As I'm putting on my wedding dress, my day of coordinator informs me the cake has not arrived and they can't get in touch with the baker. Fortunately, my bridesmaid had their personal phone number and was able to reach them. When they got them on the phone, they admitted they had completely forgotten the cake and cupcakes we ordered (very far in advance and had received confirmation over a week prior). They rushed to make cupcakes, which were delivered half baked and basically thrown to a guest to put out when they did arrive. I should add, I spent hours creating a garland for the cake (no decorations, just a simple tiered cake) and the cupcakes we ordered were really my husbands pick, not my flavor at all. We also had a fun conversation about the care they would take to set everything up when we spoke on the phone in advance. The worst thing was not them forgetting my cake or sloppily putting together something, but the fact that they never called to apologize or make amends in any way. I even emailed them and never heard back. While the owners of this shop are lovely people, I would hate for someone to go through the experience I did without being aware it was a possibility. It is with great sadness that I consider booking Stone Werks as the worst decision I made...

Have only been twice as it's not local to me but if I'm passing thru Boonsboro and they're open, I try to stop. They have a large selection of daily pastries and food options for breakfast and lunch. The coffee menu has basic options and seasonal offerings. The coffee tastes like coffee and I mean that in a good way - not the overly sweet, cup of milk tinted beige, but actual coffee. Even the drinks you think would be too sweet are made well and compliment the espresso instead of overwhelm it. If you are a true coffee drinker, this place does it well. It does get very hectic inside. It is at most times of the day, completely full. Full waiting area, full line of people waiting for their coffees and full line of people waiting to order. The waits are not terrible, but the space is small. Of course, this is exactly what I wish for small businesses, I just choose to take my coffee to go because of the atmosphere. If you don't mind noise and tight spaces, they have a lovely couch set up and a small shopping area, a mug wall for those dining in, etc. Very cozy style. All in all, give them a try. Good drinks,...
