Roggenart European Bakery in Catonsville, MD
A European bakery café in downtown Catonsville
Roggenart Catonsville is a European bakery and café on Frederick Road in downtown Catonsville, 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. In December 2025 we opened here, in the Frederick Road storefront many neighbors remember as Charlsie's Bakehouse, and our co-owner Brody Tennant calls Catonsville home. 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 latte or a hot drip coffee. Regulars come back for the Bacon, Egg & Cheddar croissant, the Croissant Royale and our seasonal turnovers. At lunch we make sandwiches to order on our soft croissants, along with fresh salads.
It's a place to slow down, the kind of café where people come to connect and reconnect. Stop in on your way along Frederick Road, meet a friend over coffee, or bring the family for weekend brunch. Feeding the office? Order ahead online and we'll have it packed and ready when you arrive.
