Zoe's go to order: Burrata, pesto, arugula, and blistered tomato toast with a large black coffee. Chris's go to order: Goat cheese and jam toast. Note: G&G is one of the most popular coffee shops in Downtown Frederick, but traffic tends to die down after 11am.
Bakehouse sources local ingredients from the Frederick area, and bakes all their pastries fresh every morning.

A woman-owned distillery, their cocktail lab features unconventional hand-crafted cocktails from their spirits! While they don't sell food within their own space, they are adjacent to Maxwell's Kitchen, where you can order food from your own table and they will bring it right over, or your can bring in any outside food you'd like! Their menu rotates seasonally, but their cocktail flight is a great way to sample all they have to offer!
Brewer's Roof Top Bar is one of our favorite places to go for date night! Our go to order is either the pickle and jalapeño pizza (don't knock it till you try it!), or the margherita pizza. The Roof Top is the only roof-top bar in Downtown Frederick, and is typically less busy during lunch-time hours (happy hour is alwayssss busy).
