Culinary Architecture

Absolutely adorable grocery shop and eatery!!! They have things that you didn't even know you needed to eat/drink/enjoy from Mint Tim Tams to pomegranate soda!! The store is full of so many fun items, fresh, frozen, canned, bagged, and adorable gifts that you can bring for housewarming parties, bridal showers, and more!!!And don't get me started on their menu - it is not large but everything is delicious and their sandwiches come with chips and adorable little grapes!!Have I talked about their oasis of a backyard yet? So stinking cute - a dome for inclement weather and fresh herbs that I'm sure they use in their food! I could sleep in that backyard and be totally content for the rest of my life - just don't forget to feed me and I'll be good to go!And the owner is so nice and gives amazing recommendations!!! A hidden gem if there ever was one in PigTown!!! Don't miss this!

I was introduced to Culinary Archetecture and Silva who runs the store. By the myriad of treats, sauces, fancy ingredients (yes, saffron) and some amazing treats, you know you've come to the right place to discuss recipes and to buy. I sampled a cakey buttery madeleine with a surprise chocolate mousse filling. Going through the contents of the store could take days. Ask Silva about how to use various sauces and ingredients. She caters and knows tons of recipes. Come here for the odd ingredient you may not find anywhere else.

If you're a foodie, Culinary Architecture is worth a visit. Located in Pigtown (an area worth exploring), this market has interesting finds from pastries like roasted grape and cheese danishes to a shelf of hot sauces. The bakery is in the front with frozen goods in the back and dry goods in between. If they don't have it, ask the friendly workers and they'll let you know if they plan to carry it. They can't be stumped!

Culinary Architecture is a true gem in Washington Village. A gourmet grocery store/ deli that promotes function, conservation, and high-quality goods crafted by makers from around the world. Sylvia (one of the owners) always provides amazing recommendations, customer service and overall a blessing to the community. She even gave me a reusable grocery bag for my shopping. The food selection is definitely out of my comfort level, but I always enjoy my purchase. Sylvia put me on the rosemary lamb sausage, highly recommend if you are a lamb lover like myself. I love the honey and cheese selections as well. They carry my favorite ice cream brand, Jeni's.When you visit DO NOT park at the dollar general parking lot or you will be towed!

Such a great neighborhood find. Finally popped in after walking by several times but never having time to check it out. It's tiny but mighty. I spent much longer than anticipated inside because it's bursting with cultural delights. Spices from Greece, noodles from Japan, Polish snacks, fresh fruit and veggies, and everything in between. I grabbed a few items and chatted with the owner who was friendly. I know where to go whenever I host friends or am missing a hard-to-find ingredient for a fun dish!

What a gem! The owner was personable, friendly, & knowledgeable about speciality foods. There were so many unique products from around the world (as well as around the corner) and I could have spent hours here. She recommended a local creamery plant based ice cream, Cajou, & it was the best I've ever tasted. Highly recommend stopping in!

Wide selection of tasty delicacies from differnt countries. It can be a bit pricey, but in my opinion its worth it. I get finds that i wouldnt be able to find elsewhere and that are unique. Also, the customer service is top notch too.

An incredible little grocery store that has almost every imaginable "rare" ingredient - if you're thinking of trying a new recipe and need ingredients check here. They have a variety of Asian, European, and Cajun meats and spices you won't find anywhere else. They also make their own food and have a little backyard courtyard you can eat it in - the fish pie was particularly delicious. It's a real gem and I love stopping in every so often to browse and pick up a few random things.

What a wonderful surprise to find this specialty market in the up-and-coming Pigtown neighborhood of Baltimore just around the corner from our AirBnB. Proprietor welcomed us into the shop which is adjacent to her catering kitchen. Fruits and vegetables along with baked sweets and delicacies beside a wide variety of interesting ingredients. We enjoyed the rhubarb pice, blueberry cobbler and a creative giant ginger cookie with apricot preserves to share! Looking forward to tasting the lamb pot pie!

The French Chicken and Corn pie was out of this world. Stuffed with chicken, sausage, bacon, corn, other deliciousness all in a puff pastry crust. A perfect dinner with a side salad. Can't wait to try some of their other savory pies
