Hoehn’s Bakery

I went in after snowzilla 2016 the day they opened back up so I reckon their goods were «not so fresh» seeing that they were half-​stocked and the peach cake I got definitely was not baked recently (all restaurants were off this week, even my beloved favorites). Call me a masochist but there’s this endearing quality to the old mom and pop shop that gets affected by something like a blizzard that makes me love a place like this even more. Hoehn’s is so homey and old school– they have these little bakery string holders from the 60s suspended above the counter and the fact that they used canned peaches and maraschino during the winter on their peach cake was so endearing. This what life was like before the 2000s! No one stuck their noses up at being served something that came from a can and people understood why you didn’t have 100% new flashy décor.
The peach cake was actually pretty good for something that is «old». The cake is denser than store bought coffee cakes that gave it substance and the cake was not too overly sweet so it was balanced against the glazed canned peaches. I can totally imagine someone’s mom or grandma whipping this up in the 60s. Even though it was not perfect by far, I’m sure if I go back during a busier season it would have been amazing.

Love the old fashioned donuts! Generous icing. Very pleasant workers. I have two dunkins in walking distance of my house but would rather the 20 minute drive here. The chocolate iced cinnamon bun is the best. It’s nice when things from your childhood don’t change.

Tasty donuts, but what they are known for are the slices of fruit cake. Peach, blueberry, cherry etc. really tasty and Affordable.

Popped in while I was taking my dog for a walk as I have the biggest weakness for doughnuts. Got a GIANT chocolate éclair ($ 2) for myself and a glazed doughnut for the fiancé. Prices are great especially considering the quality and size of my delicious treat! It was double the size of a normal éclair and filled with sweet, but not sickeningly so, custard. The top was smothered in chocolate and the pastry was light and crisp. In short, it was perfect! I was one happy girl scarfing down my giant desert. I had planned to eat half and then the other half later but it was so good I finished it without thinking. The bakery is now closed but I’m planning on returning when they next open! My fiancé really enjoyed his doughnut as well. I think I’m going to have to try the fresh peach cake next time (along with another éclair)!

This place was chillin. Twas a rainy thursdee me mate and I went to ye bakery.
Enough of this chin waggin, on with the review.
Small little family place that had a decent selection of baked goods. Felt tad lifeless with no music or tv keeping a casual pace in the background. The employees were very nice though. An older women checked us out and she was very friendly.
THAT BEING SAID. Donuts are TOP NOTCH. They are like Donut 2.0.1 build. Glazed was sweet and had a crisp sugary shell. The inside was gooey and delicious. Had a chocolate glazed donut as well and it was heaven on earth. Very moist cakey donut with sweet fresh icing. Top Frickin Notch. Will definitly stop by when im in Maryland again.

So good! Peach cake heaven. The lightest cheesecake from heaven! It’s all so good and made perfect.

Hands down (and hand-​made), the best bakery Baltimore has to offer.
Only pitfall: No coffee, but swing by the Highlandtown Gallery across the street for a cup.

I stand corrected. I think that I’m just not a fan of yeast doughnuts and the first time, I got a yeast doughnut. I decided to try them again, but this time, got a plain chocolate cake doughnut and it hit the spot! The consistency was great — dense, chewy, with a little bit of crunch. Not too sweet either.

Best donuts in the city by far. Skip all of the fluorescently colored donuts with strange and experimental flavors at other places, Hoehn’s plain donuts are the way donuts should be. Completely old school and on point.

Delicious sticky buns, tarts and donuts for a reasonable price! No place to sit inside to enjoy these delights but it’s just a short stroll away to Patterson Park to enjoy your baked goods. No obvious drink options either — more of a take out and take home type of place but very tasty!

I wonder is «Hoehn’s» is a bastardization spelling of Baltimore’s famous vernacular of «Hun».
Pondering aside, Hoehn’s Bakery gets a five-​star from me not because the baked good are the very best I’ve ever tasted (although it IS very good) but because of:
1) Unique long established bakery with a history
2) They bake their own goods on site
3) Prices are ridiculously low
4) Yummy fresh goodness in every bite
5) They take credit cards
They serve donuts, danishes, peach cake, pizza buns, breads and other deliciousness. The counter girls were nice enough to me the last few times I stopped by. I make it an effort to come here as often as I can since you only live once.

I’ve lived down the street from Hoehn’s for over a year and I am literally trying to find a solid reason why I had never been here before, and I can seem to find one. This place is like my heaven. There aren’t many bakeries in the Canton/​Patterson Park/​Highlandtown area, so Hoehn’s (known for their Hon’s) is a real treat. Grabbed myself up a slice, more like half the size of a sheet cake, of the fresh peach crumble and a strawberry puff pastry. The peach crumble is fabulous! I am Celiac but I don’t mind the minor headache to serve up myself a wittle itty bitty piece of that peachy goodness! I’m not a huge fan of the puffs, but I have never really liked puffs. However, important to note that if puff’s are your sort of thing: They are huge and only three dollars, plus the cream was fabulous. This is a cheap bakery that serves up the homemade goods, to fill your little belly’s desire :)

Not so great, I think Dunkin has better doughnuts. And no coffee??? What’s with that?

The best best best that baltimore has to off is right here, the staff is so kind and the donuts are hefty and full of flavor, the cakes and pies are incredible. If you get there early enough on the right day of the week make sue you get a few pizza buns!

It took me almost 10 years of living 4 blocks from this place to try it and I kick myself everyday for not trying it sooner. It’s a tiny little place and the morning is the best time to go. They have to have the best baked goods I’ve ever had in my life. The doughnuts are amazing. My trainer will not be happy that i finally came here, but I am.

I’ve had such a craving for hot and fresh locally made donuts that I Unilocaled my way to Hoehn’s Bakery. Stopping by on a Saturday morning the lovely ladies behind the counter were running down the list of already sold out items! That’s what happens on a Raven’s game weekend, eh?
The choices were extensive but I was solely focused on my traditional donut. At just 70 cents each I had to get two plus a cheese pastry.
The doughnut was everything I needed it to be. Light, slightly chewy, thin and melt in in your mouth glaze.
I am taking a stand now. No more chains for my doughnuts when I can run to this great, old school, authentic Baltimore bakery.

Hoehn’s is one of the «old-​school» places that I remember as a child growing up here in Baltimore — if only for that reason, I’m going to give it a high rating. But the pastries and goodness that you can purchase from here is nothing short of incredible. LoML and I stopped in after a fabulous lunch at Chicken Rico down the street, and we decided that the meal would be topped off nicely with some old-​fashioned baked goodness.
The staff hasn’t changed since I was a child, either, I swear. They’re not the friendliest people in the world — as a matter of fact, one or two of them are downright curmudgeons — but that’s okay, I’m totally used to that and in a way I find it endearing in that odd, Baltimorean «hon» sort of way.
Their peach cake is a Baltimore tradition, and it’s freaking delish — do not walk out without getting some. They use real peach halves, none of this canned crap. And the cheesecake is to die for.
Forget this upscale «cupcake» fad — if you want real pastries like your grandmother used to whip up in her Baltimore kitchen, Hoehn’s is the place to be.
Cash only — no plastic.

I moved to Baltimore when I was 5 years old and it was not long after that I was taken to this wonderful bakery by my mom. I remember getting the finger donuts filled with marshmellow. it is impossible to bite into them without getting some of the filling around the outside of your mouth.
I’m now 61 years old, don’t live in the neighborhood anymore but you can bet that I stop in whenever I am in the area. In fact I have to take my step dad to the barber next door tomorrow and I will be in Hoehn’s ordering some of the donuts. It is so hard to pick. marshmellow, cream, or jelly. And the cheesecake, I consider it inexpensive but it is another top of my favorites.
I know they have been in business well over 50 years, not sure exactly when they opened, but I hope they are around as long as I am!

If you’re in the mood for some donuts or pastries and live in downtown Baltimore, you should probably go here. It’s like stepping back in time. Also, the donuts and apple crumble cake we got were really good, and it was dirt cheap. Like a whole box full of apple crumble cake for like $ 4. Yum.

Well, aren’t you just the cutest little bake shop?! Yesss you are! Yesss… yoooouuu…areeee… Awwww!
This is the first time I have ever seen a glazed donut WITH chocolate frosting. Good God Almighty, that ain’t right! LOL! I stopped in just for a sweet little bite and bought a square of something a tad less sinful, but still bad for me: a cheesecake brownie! Just $ 0.70 is all it took to make my tongue happy and satisfy my craving for something sweet. And, because it was actually the size of a consumable square (as opposed to gargantuan-​sized everything we have everywhere nowadays), it was over in an instant and just want I needed.
The shop itself is no bigger than my closet at home and the ladies who work there remind me of friendly grandmas… probably because they are I assume. Anyway, I try to make a point of peeking in here when I am in Highlandtown. It’s a throwback of a little place and definitely appreciated. I will be back for that heart-​attack-​inducing donut one day though. Best believe!
