Bakehouse Comes to Downtown Frederick

Visitors and residents alike will have some new sweet treats to look forward to in Downtown Frederick on S. Market St. In March 2021, we will welcome Bakehouse to the 1,868 square foot retail space just steps from Carroll Creek Linear Park. Since 2018, Owner Kim MacDonald and her husband, Dan, have been operating Bakehouse out of a shared kitchen and serving up her baked goods at farmers’ markets and by special order. We’re so glad Kim chose 69 S. Market St. as her first storefront for even more convenient sampling of cookies, croissants, breakfast sandwiches and more. The location will be easy to spot nestled underneath the iconic Lester Bowie Mural depicting the jazz musician and Frederick native. Welcome Kim and Dan!
