Frederick's bakery scene has grown tremendously over the last few years. The area has gone from a small handful of options to over 20 dedicated bakeshops serving up a wide variety of sweet and savory treats. With so many great choices, it can be hard to decide where to start. You could easily spend weeks trying every spot (and if you can, you should). If you are only here for a few days, this list should help you to narrow it down. These are some of Frederick's best bakeries!
