Roggenart European Bakery in Columbia, MD
A European bakery café in Columbia
Roggenart Columbia is a European bakery and café on Dobbin Center Way in Columbia, 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.
This is the original Roggenart. Founder Neman Popov opened our first café in Baltimore in 2017, moved it to Columbia in 2018 and built it out with his own hands, and Columbia is still our home today. 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 cold brew. Regulars come back for the Almond Frangipane, the Roggenart Signature Sandwich and the Spanakopita Weave. At lunch we make sandwiches to order and fresh salads like the Mediterranean and Roasted Beet.
It's a place to slow down, the kind of café where people come to connect and reconnect. Settle in with free Wi-Fi to work or study, catch up with a friend at our outdoor tables, or bring the family for weekend brunch. Feeding the office? Order ahead online and we'll have it packed and ready when you arrive.
