Reviews of Starry Night Bakery and Coffeehouse (Bakery)

Patricia Driscoll

This is the most incredible bakery in the Baltimore and DC area. We tasted cakes for our wedding at all of the best places, but this little bakery surpassed them all. I’m a baker and was very critical and had a very clear vision of what I wanted for my cakes, but didn’t want to do it myself. Shannon was amazing to work with and executed my vision perfectly. On top of that her cake bearing beautiful, it was moist and flavorful. I got compliments during the entire wedding! We saved a piece to have a year later in the freezer and it was still amazing. Thank you Shanon for making us a 1st anniversary cake too! You made our wedding!

I have gotten both cakes and bakery case items from here and everything has been delicious! My friend ordered a baby shower cake for me and it was so good! The decorating is always beautiful too!

Not the best cupcakes... We considered her for our wedding, but her cupcakes were very dry. She makes you put down 25$ just to taste test 5 cupcakes in order to keep your business... Consider just buying a few different types of cupcakes without putting down the deposit. Consider using Bertucco's Bakery in Hampstead, prices are way better. Cupcakes and cake are way better.

Ordered a two layer vegan wedding cake from starry night (vanilla icing and cake). The cake was absolutely gorgeously detailed and absolutely delicious to eat. Lots of icing, thick and dense cake. Friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended!

Jeannette Kirchner

Very friendly staff with great food. Its small with little sitting inside, so I recommend going on a sunny day and sitting out side. A good mix of both lunch and breakfast meals to pick from. I highly recommend the Iron horse stake sandwich. Grab a quick bite here you will not be disappointed.

Justin Norcross

Vegan cupcakes and coffee cakes are amazing! We tried all available varities and each one tasted great. Homemade dog treats were a hit with the

Yummy!

I've been to Starry Night dozens of times - and have always been 100% satisfied.Big selection of coffees, teas, chai, etc., all delicious! Excellent sandwich offerings, my favorite is the turkey melt Award-winning baked goods (they do wedding cakes too)Comfy, laid-back coffeehouse atmosphere with wi-fi ... I have gotten tons of work done at Starry Night.I've also had meetings there. For a very reasonable fee, they can put together a selection of pastries and coffee for small groups.

Dara Schraft

Fantastic coffee and amazing vegan coffee cakes, but get there early because they run out of the vegan coffee cakes. They also make gluten free cupcakes, or vegan. They're super delish. One of my favorite bake shops in Westminster.

Matt Longley

Great local bakery. Some things might be pricey, but you surely get what you pay for. The owner is an amazing bakery artist.

I was very excited to go to a bakery that offered Vegan options as there aren't any places close to me which do (this place is 30 mins from where I live). It was my birthday weekend so my Fiance and I went here specifically so I can get a cupcake. I ordered the vegan red velvet cupcake with vanilla frosting. It was expensive but I figured it would be worth it. The lady working there came back with a one inch tall cupcake that was not worth the price for the size, it was tiny and looked deflated. I waited to try it before judging but alas, it was almost completely frozen inside and tasted nothing like red velvet. The saving grace was the frosting that was pretty good, but I will never buy another vegan cupcake from here again. I'm originally from Miami so I've tried many good vegan cupcakes and cakes before, I am not sure what happened in this case but it was disappointing. To be straightforward, I did not speak to management about it as we just went in and out and to get this cupcake. I didn't try it until I was already in the car.

Starry Night has been my family's go-to bakery for over 5 years when we first used it for a custom sheet cake for my sister's wedding shower. There were raves from attendees for the yellow cake with raspberry filling and French Buttercream frosting. Since then we've had more custom cakes than I can count in many combinations of cake, filling, and frosting decorated for our occasion and them. Every one has been moist and delicious. They also do wedding cakes. The one for my son's wedding was done with tapered tiers of assorted cupcakes topped by a small, traditionally decorated cake topper. Starry Night Bakery also sells freshly baked bread and cookies. They regularly have a variety of sizes and flavors of cheesecake available for walk-in purchase or special orders. The Bakery also serves as a popular coffeehouse and occasional live music venue. Everything is easily accessible by wheelchair, including the rest room. The entire business always appears spotlessly clean. It's cheerfully decorated, and the workers are pleasant and helpful. I highly recommend giving them a try.

Mary Scarpati

Bought cupcakes for daughter. She loved them. Disappointed in coffee cake purchased. Lacked flavor and we dry.

Lisa Miller

Absolutely the best bakery and coffeehouse in the area. I've had specialty cakes and dessert and cupcake platters from here on numerous occasions. Desserts from here are always a big hit. Also a great place to chill and have a great coffee and a cupcake. And my dogs love their homemade dog biscuits! Love this place!

Shannon Evans

My husband was excited to go here, he had been here before but it was my first time. I was excited when we walked in and saw the selection. We got one of almost all the cupcakes they had to offer that day. I was not impressed when I finally ate one. Very disappointed in these cupcakes. I make better tasting cupcakes at home that are not dry. Frosting is overly sweet and the cake is dry, bad combination.

Best vegan cupcakes I've ever tasted. They also have a fantastic vegan coffee cake, and probably the best coffee in town.

Kristyn Hayman

Starry Night was nice enough to humor my chocolate banana pregnancy craving and created an amazing banana fudge cake! Will absolutely be returning... sooner rather than later! Cake was incredible and the service far exceeded expectations!

Ian Greene

Bought a coconut cake from here. Didn't get the traditional cake with coconut flakes but the cake came with a layer of coconut cream. Buttercream frosting was not sweet or creamy just thick. Very disappointing

TAVON WILSON

Nice place, nice people, great prices

Pamber melendez

This is absolutely the best place to have coffee and indulge in some good cake. It’s hard to stop once you order a slice of their chocolate cake or one of their muffins. Be sure to down whatever sweets you have with a cup of good coffee

Jim Desrosiers

The best cupcakes

Karen Poirier

Love this coffee house! Their cakes and cupcakes are so very yummy and it's a wonderful atmosphere for a date with my man or a special treat for the kids.

Randy G

Not only is their coffee great but their desserts and cupcakes are the best anywhere. The atmosphere is great, and the music is always awesome. We always get our birthday cakes from Starry Night, and they're always unique and award winngingly delicious!

Megan

If you want a beautiful cake, then this might be your place if you don't care about the taste. We went for a taste test for our wedding cake and couldn't tell the different between the chocolate and yellow cakes and the almond tasted like straight almond extract. Maybe it was an off day but i would have been embarrassed to feed that to my guests.

ladykristina1111

Best bakery ever. My cake maker dropped the ball for my daughters birthday. Went to starry night and not only did she make the prettiest cake, bit the price was exceptional and staff was great at health me to pick out what I needed

Nikki GB

I love this place! The only bakery I could find either sugar free or keto items.

Lauren Fanning

I bought a pre-made cake from the display and got some custom writing on it. It was the worst cake I've ever eaten. Terribly dry. The only way I could make a cake that dry on purpose would be to leave the layers out a whole day before frosting. The two cupcakes were small and uninspired. The only redeeming item was the butter cookie. The vibe inside was very fun and edgy but showing it's age.

Megan M.

Great cakes, nice people, consistent quality

Tabitha Hall

Great cake, great service, Able to accommodate on short notice.

Eric Burgess

Great cakes

Erin Wilson

Starry Night did the desserts for my wedding reception (even though it was only 3 days before Christmas) and they were excellent! I got many compliments on them. They also made my wedding cake for me and I couldn't have been happier. They were flexible on timing, worked with my budget, and helpful with suggestions. I highly recommend them!

Donyel Cerceo

Beautiful delicious cake. Everyone at our 3 year old daughter's birthday could not believe this cake.

M Krick

Cool place for a coffee and something sweet

Lindsey Fenicle

Working with them with wedding planning was so great! Definitely recommend it!

Jessica Brown

If you're looking for a beautiful cake that is a gorgeous centerpiece and is a work of art, Starry Night is your place. The customer service is great, staff is very helpful, and their work is top notch, but the flavor of cakes, icing and filling is lacking.

Amy Ressler

Unimpressive. Cases and shelves were bare and the slice of cake and cookies purchased were dry and flavorless.

Michele R

Fantastic experience! My fiancee and I had our cake tasting and design session. Super friendly family run business with absolutely AMAZING cakes! We were able to customize everything about our cake from filling and flavors to icing and design! I'm going to get my 30th birthday cake from here, and, when the time comes, baby shower cupcakes. Definitely a bakery we will use for years to come!

Bethany Kim

Absolutely horrible! Over the phone I gave full details of the cake I needed a week in advance. They gave me a quote of $70 and they said to send any pictures or ideas to their email and they would email back with a sketch. They were closed Sunday and Monday and partially open on Tuesday due to renovation. I called Tuesday and was reassured that I would have a custom cake by Saturday but they were in the middle of their renovation. I didn't hear back by Thursday morning so I called again, they said they never received my email and that I would have to come in and place my order. I went in that day and they said all they could do was put an do edible image on the cake and it was going to be $30 more than discussed earlier. When I asked why, they said it was due to short notice even though over the phone they said it was doable to have a custom cake by Saturday in my price range. I told them I'd rather not order at this point and they said "good luck with that".

Great place to grab a bite to eat!

I live 45 minutes from Vape Dojo in Westminster and even farther from their Hampstead location but I visit them frequently. I try to visit when I'm in the area for work but I have made several trips from home for the sole purpose of visiting Cape Dojo. Their "Happy Ending" juice is my main all day vape, I'd say 80% of what I vape is that flavor. Their price on the "house line" of juices, including happy ending, is a pretty good bargain. Their coil prices are usually below other shops as well. Many times I will import my gear but when I can't or don't want to wait they are my first choice for most gear. Very friendly staff who remember you and are always willing to go out of their way to explain, help, or just chat about anything vape related. The store is a very relaxing atmosphere, one could easily just hang out there for quite awhile without feeling rushed or it feeling awkward which is not the case in most shops. In addition to having a comfortable lounge area they have samples of all their juices out for you to sample at your own leisure. I personally much prefer this to the shops where everything is behind the counter and you have to ask to try each flavor. I have a very hard time finding flavors that I would like enough to vape more than a few puffs of and find shops that want to hand you a few flavors they pick out for you extremely outputting. Vape Dojo has the right idea, make every flavor available to every customer and be there to offer suggestions and help if the customer wants it. Now, if only they would open a shop in Frederick!

We got a cake for my birthday- Red Velvet with French Buttercream icing. Visually, it was pretty cool. But the red velvet was all dried out, and was worse than something that I could have made myself. The icing tasted like a pot of powdered sugar, and someone who at it compared it to lard. I would NOT recommend this.

Kelly Dempsey

Frances Schwartz

Excellent service. Fair prices for the work they do. We ordered two cakes and are very satisfied.

Larkin Hatfield

I ordered a 3 tiered custom Halloween cake and it was absolutely AMAZING! I spoke with Shannon Clarke who took my basic idea and turned it into a creative masterpiece. Any questions I had throughout the process was followed by and immediate response from her. The Red Velvet and Chocolate Cake is my personal favorite! The American Butter Cream and Ganache Icing is incredible! This place is awesome! Highly recommended!!!

Patrick Brown

Fun staff and nice products, plus you can eat in!

Jeff Stevens

Love their cupcakes. Strawberry with orange cream icing is amazing.

Things can be great, or they can taste a bit dry. It's hit or miss

I was drawn in for an impromptu mutual birthday celebration with two friends due to the cupcake offerings available. Prior to the bakery's two appearances on Food Network's Cupcake Wars, there was possibly a wider variety of baked goods, but now the focus seems to be on cupcakes. (I do miss the mousse log, and hope it will make a return eventually.) We tried almost every cupcake flavor available (it was a weekend in October), and were not disappointed! Our highest ranked cupcakes were the Pumpkin with Maple Icing, Amaretto Chai (the spice blend made me feel as if I were eating fluffy clouds, not a cupcake - a good thing, in my opinion), Apple Crumb with Salted Caramel Icing, and one of the large stuffed cupcakes - the Total Eclipse, which is not for the faint of heart or avoider of chocolate. The atmosphere is fun and funky, the wall art is amazing, and the cupcakes are very good. Prices are reasonable, and the overall vibe is relaxing. Coffees and teas are available for consumption alongside the bakery options, as are a select number of café sandwiches. Check it out, give it a try, and support local businesses.

Carol Fiore

The mini dessert tray and cake that I ordered online were delicious. I'll be ordering from Starry Night Bakery for years to come.
