Roggenart European Bakery in Towson, MD
A European bakery café in downtown Towson
Roggenart Towson is a European bakery and café on Allegheny Avenue in downtown Towson, Maryland. We serve croissants, pastries and breads made from scratch and baked in small batches every day, along with breakfast, lunch and espresso seven days a week, from 7 AM.
Roggenart began in Baltimore in 2017 and moved to Columbia in 2018, with one purpose: to bring authentic European baking and café culture to America. In January 2023 we opened here in Towson, one of our most spacious cafés. The name means "the art of rye" in German, a nod to the European baking traditions behind everything in our pastry case.
Mornings here start with a flaky croissant and a drip coffee or espresso. Regulars come back for the ham and cheese croissant, our veggie omelette and the bread pudding. At lunch we make sandwiches to order, along with fresh salads and quiche.
It's a place to slow down, the kind of café where people come to connect and reconnect. Take a coffee break between errands downtown, meet a friend for breakfast, or bring the family for weekend brunch. Feeding the office? Order ahead online and we'll have it packed and ready when you arrive.
