Charlsie's Bakehouse

Charlsie's has become a go-to for me! Whether it's coffee or baked goods you're looking for, what you'll get here is top notch. I try something new most visits and there's never been an item I haven't liked. And the customer service is amazing! Every staff member I've interacted with is kind and treats you with care. And the inside is so beautiful as well! If you're in the area, stop by, you won't regret it!

We made our way to Catonsville on a super cold winter morning to try this bakery. It was busy but not over-crowded with folks so we snagged a table and tried several bakery items and I had a hot tea.I'd go hungry - and try a few things. We enjoyed most everything, but I will say what dropped this a star was the fact that I was so excited for the biscuit and jam, and unfortunately it tasted burnt. It wasn't visibly burnt so I didn't say anything, but the taste was just off. If I find myself back there I won't be going for that - but will seek out some other treats for sure!

Note: This is for a specific experience WITH Charlsies, not their daily product or service offerings.I'm a regular at Charlsies, a local. I've been supporting their business since they opened, at times, too enthusiastically. I've stuck with them during many changes as they are nice people and make a great product. But, not everyone is cut out for business, customers, expectations, etc. I recently tried to get a birthday cake made for my wife. I went into the shop one week ahead of time. The young woman at the counter recommended I contact Morgan. I did. We went back and forth over several days about what type of cake, etc. She never informed me she preferred email. She never suggested cake types she was willing to make. She never really confirmed, she'd be able to MAKE the cake. I got the impression, she wasn't interested in the order, which, I dig as it's not the CORE business. SO, I 'let her off the hook' and received an aggressive, nasty chat in return. Fine. See, customer service matters. You didn't like how I gave you the cake requirements? Then SAY something. It's YOUR business, not mine. Instead, you alienated and lost a long-time client. Again, some are good at business...some...and some become willing to drive a little farther for their baked goods.Update: Tried to 'resolve' this before I posted it....I didn't want to go slash and burn. But, after apologizing to me for the experience, she went on to slash and burn on the remainder of HER email. Great customer service. So....why do you bother responding to apologize and resolve an issue, then pour gasoline on it to inflame it? Shrug.

True neighborhood bakery. Chocolate mousse soooo decadent. try not to eat it all in one sitting

This is a VERY CUTE vintage cafe and bakery! The food is delicious, I enjoyed eating the Hippie Sammie. The staff are so kind and welcoming. This is a great place to catch up with friends or work on your dissertation in a cozy, relaxing cafe. The bathroom is clean and organized. There is plenty of parking available in the adjacent lot. And oh my gosh, the latte was probably one of the most delicious lattes I have had in my life! I highly recommend an Oat Milk Lavendar Latte!

Love love love this bakery!! The vintage feel makes it so fun, and even has a little play area in the back for kids. The staff is so nice and patient when you're trying to decide how to narrow down your choices and not get one of everything. The baked goods that I've tried are all delicious! The old fashioned donuts have a crisp on the outside and soft on the inside...hard to put them down!! The buns are delectable (I have a sweet sweet tooth, so beware if you like your sweets actually sweet!). Handpies and croissants were also delish!!! Highly recommend this bakery, and compared to other small business bakeries I frequent, it's very reasonably priced!

6.11.23A cute and quaint bakehouse in Catonsville that gives you a good feeling from the minute you pull up to the door. Loved the ambience, which had unique and antiquated decor and tchotchkes. Being there made me feel nostalgic of my childhood.Highly recommend their breakfast sammies and lemonade! Hubby and I split our sammies so we could sample each. I preferred the Wakey Wakey Eggs N Bakey (with bacon) whereas the hubs preferred the Ohl MacDonald (with ham and pepper jelly). He liked the jelly in it. The biscuits were toasted and crispy, which we liked. We got the Went to Hell Cake Slice to go. It was chocolaty, creamy, and moist. It was more like I died and went to heaven.He said that they could use another staff member at the counter. It appeared one person was at the register and running into the kitchen. There is metered street parking, but if there aren't any spaces there is a lot nearby at the Catonsville Square for those of us such as myself who can't parallel park. Not a lot of tables, but most patrons didn't stay long and others took their goodies to go.Really loved this bakehouse and would likely be a loyal customer if it were closer to home.

I went in with Child #1 to try out some of the yummy baked goods.The inside is a bit hipster-y and the staff are dressed like old time soda jerkers. It gives a cool vibe, I guess. There are loads of baked goods, mostly pastries, to choose from. We opted for a croissant and a donut, both of which were great. I also got one of their sandwiches, the "Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?" sandwich. It had a delicious buttery and flaky biscuit and good filling of cheese, sausage, and arugula.It's a bit posh, but has a fun aesthetic and good food. Worth trying out.

Best Key Lime Pie in Maryland. Great local pastry shop, probably the best in Howard/Baltimore County. Great customer service as well.

Delicious rosemary potato rolls and apple fritters! Nice selection of pies and always new ideas and combinations!
