What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp
"Is the quality going down? or May this be a training issue with new staff? My two salmon focaccia sandwiches today were both all wet and soggy at the bottom. Not to mention excessive onion and very little salmon. Maybe they were made too early and sitting for a while because I have never experienced this issue before. In addition, my friend and I got the Trempette danish and the espresso caramel was dry or missing? IMO this is what makes the entire experience of this pastry! BTW: the ones on display did HAVE the liquid caramel. I added a picture. The rest of the items were fine so hopefully this is sone minor QA supervision needed at this location? At the price point of these items, I would have expected the same quality from the past. I may need to go back to the Canton Square location to avoid disappointment. I do love this bakery and hopefully this helps them!"

"The best bakery in the country may be Cafe Dear Leon. Their original location is small and always with a well-deserved line. This location is their second and very large. (It's inside the building of a popular butchery/deli that shut its doors.) Walk inside Tuesday-Saturday early because their pastries sell out quickly. Every single option is a good one, but I love their chocolate croissants and kouign and hazelnut focaccia. They also have a full coffee menu of drinks with Ceremony Coffee. Inside is a large space with lots of tables and free wi-fi."

"I got the famous crab bagel. Truly expected them to be sold out by 1:30 on a Saturday. This crab bagel has such a following on B’more. I tried it just to checkout what all the hype was about. It’s absolutely amazing a delicious, creamy, crabby taste sensation. The service was weird and not super helpful . I had great difficulty getting a water. I wanted to buy a bottle but… no go. I was directed around the side to coffee area to get a cup and self service tap water in a carafe. It was free soo. Not complaining. This bagel is delicious. I got a 2 crab bagels. 2 Croissants and a muffin ( that I did not ask for) and stracciatella sandwich for 57$. Expensive yes. I’m not sure it is worth all that, not sure if I will be back. However I will definitely recommend that crab bagel!!!!"
★★★★★
"Absolutely, incredible. The crab dip bagel might be one of the best crab dip things I’ve ever eaten. Obviously it is viral and obviously a must get. The sandwiches are spectacular as well. I can’t wait to get back and get other things. This spot is definitely going to be a regular in my rotation coming up. Well done!"
★★★★★
"They have a wide variety of baked goods and most of them are delicious, but the Crab Dip Bagel and the Coffee Bun are my absolute favorites. Their cookies are high-quality and delicious as well. There are plenty of seats, so it’s a nice place to stay for a while."

"Holy cow, the pastries here are INSANE! Soft and delicate, and the sandwiches are suuper filling. Came here with my friend to work on some assignments and..."

Menu as captured Aug 30, 2026 · source ↗
We hold 131 venues in Baltimore, MD and could score 13 of them. This one is not among them, so it has no position — not a low one.
There is no score breakdown to show: nothing we read about this venue earned points in any of the four categories, so a bar chart of zeroes would look like a verdict on the kitchen rather than on what it publishes. What we did read is below.
v1.7.4 0.0/100 = sourcing 0.0/50 (named-farm 0 distinct, named-region 0 distinct, attribute 0 distinct, buzzword 0 distinct; +15% corroboration lift from sourcing press) + farm partners 0.0/20 (none scored) + registry 0.0/12 (none listed) + press 0.0/18 (capped at 35% of the 0.0-point evidence base).
Buzzwords only. This venue uses sourcing language ("farm-fresh", "locally sourced") but names no farms, regions, or verifiable attributes.
