Berger's Bakery

The snickerdoodle cake and the strawberry crunch cake is my favorite. It is the best cake I've ever tasted in my life!

Got a Berger Cookie after reading the hype about being a must try for visitors in Baltimore. I guess it's okay? Nothing special, just a sugar cookie with some dense chocolaty goodness on top. A must try? Probably not, but still good.

I've had the Berger cookies 'fresh' and in the 'box', but I actually prefer the boxed cookies. The 'fresh' cookie was a little stale and uneven. All in all, the cookies are good, but certainly very sweet and there is more fudge icing than cookie itself. I also got the bean pie ($5), and it was refrigerated, which I don't know if that's normal or not. First time having bean pie, but it tasted along the flavor profile of a sweet potato pie.

Berger's is famous for their cookies, but don't skip out on their cakes. The family brought a slice of butter pound cake, lemon pound cake, carrot cake, and strawberry shortcake. Each slice was hugh, but inexpensive. Each slice was moist and full of flavor. We tasted the butter, the citrus, and the spices in each designated cake. The carrot cake was not overwhelmed with frosting. Counter help was friendly and efficient. Berger's is on our return list for sure.

This place has the BEST chocolate frosted cupcake I have tried in my life. I had to go back and get another as soon as I tried it. It is perfectly silky and has a great chocolate taste. You also cannot leave without trying their famous Berger cookies, which are soft fluffy plain cookies topped with a generous portion of chocolate icing. Highly recommend!

If your in Baltimore you have to grab some Berger's Cookies from Lexington Market during your visit. I parked across the street in a public parking garage. Thankfully around lunch time the line wasn't too long. The staff was moving people through quickly. Your in the Lexington market so you can plan for a bite to eat inside and hit up the bakery before you leave.Best way to describe them are simply old time classic cookies. Soft cookies coated with chocolate fudge. Can't beat it, I bought a whole bunch to take home for friends, but my boys ended up eating them all!If your looking for something to bring back home that is Baltimore (and not seafood related), do yourself a favor and grab some Berger's Cookies.

This cake is the bomb. I promise you it tastes amazing. I've had their sheet cake but prefer the old fashion ones better. The line usually moves quickly. The customer service is not top tier. Like the man never speaks just says your total. They are the first business as soon as you enter so you can't miss it. There is no seating for this vendor.

What can I possibly love more than the combination of 52 years of LOVE and baked goods? Literally, nothing. Market Bakery has been locally and owned and operated by an adorable couple since 1972 selling a plethora of delicious baked goods, including handmade desserts, like sticky buns, and freshly delivered Berger cookies. That is 52 years of LOVE. Amazing. If you are not a Baltimore native and have been deprived of Berger cookies, please alleviate your significantly limited sweet tooth and try a Berger cookie. Essentially a Berger cookie is a thicker sugar cookie dipped into special German-recipe thickened fudge. If you are not a chocolate fan, that's okay! Buy one for your best friend who is. Better yet, if you are looking to propose to a chocolate lover, buy them a Berger cookie to sweeten the deal. Only give them the cookie IF they say yes. Berger cookies are made with love for chocolate lovers. They are then sold at Market Bakery owned by a loving couple for 49 years. It's a love fest all around. Berger cookies are a favorite of mine and, as a food driven individual, is the reason I chose to go to school in Baltimore. Market Bakery, though, is not characterized ONLY by selling a Baltimore staple. No. No. They are a full bakery with anything you could want. If you are looking for a birthday ANYTHING, call them! I was torn between the delicious piece of chocolate velvet cake layered with cream cheese frosting and the extra-large sticky bun topped with caramelized pecans. I opted for the sticky bun, and two FRESH Berger cookies for a total of $5.50. That is a deal to me, in the world where coffee costs the same amount at nearby coffee chains. Market Bakery has everything sweet and wonderful to sell. It is such a pleasure and an honor to meet a couple that is so dedicated to each other, and their business, for such a long period of time. The staff are friendly. The atmosphere and bustle of Lexington Market contributes to the uniqueness that is Market Bakery. While the business has been owned for 49 years, they haven't always been at Lexington Market. For more history, stop by and meet the owners. They are inevitably working, smiling, and distributing sweetness to the community of downtown Baltimore.

The best bakery I've been to in years. It's inside Lexington Market which is bustling with many locals and a few tourists. I purchased a few items that I personally got to try as well as a few for friends (snickerdoodle cake, berry penny pie & eclairs) that I was told were delicious (and perfectly priced). I tried the following & would get each one often if I lived in the area: 1) Bergers Cookies - I got the pre boxed ones for $6.99 (had about 8/9) cookies in it. They were unlike any cookie I have ever had & I'll have dreams about them: soft cookie with delicious fudge topping.2) Cinnamon Roll: the dough wasn't too sweet and the frosting & caramel swirl on the top were epic. I almost didn't want to share it! $3.50 3) Apple Penny Pies: flakey, nice chunks of apple, not too sweet, delicious: 2 for $1.75

Where have these cookies been all my life? Stopped in after a quick bite at Faidleys. The Berger cookies are phenomenal. I tried a few other cookies that looked good but unfortunately weren't. I will only be buying the Berger Cookies from here going forward lol. They charge by the pound with different cookies having different prices. The staff was also very helpful and kind. They even through some complimentary cookies.
