Roggenart European Bakery in Ellicott City, MD
A European bakery café in Ellicott City
Roggenart Ellicott City is a European bakery and café on Baltimore National Pike in Ellicott City, 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 2021 we opened here in Ellicott City, just up the road from our Columbia home, bringing the same European baking and café culture to Route 40. 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 cappuccino. Regulars come back for the Almond Croissant, the Croissant Royale and the Crookie, our croissant and chocolate chip cookie in one. 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. Meet a friend for a Saturday morning coffee, grab a quick breakfast on your way, or bring the family for weekend brunch. Feeding the office? Order ahead online and we'll have it packed and ready when you arrive.
