Maillard Pastries in Hampden always looks amazing, but haven't had a chance to go yet.

Simon's Bakery in Cockeysville would be a bit of a hike, but they have great stuff. My kids love the donuts there. Plenty of playgrounds in the area, though none walking distance.

Maillard is good but pekara on cold spring is outrageous (in the delicious way). It’s the owner of the former Roggenart from falls rd/MtW

I’d grab something there and there is a little park just east on cold spring for the goblin, or come to hampden and take your pick of a few parks.

ETA: dulceology in fed hill has cronuts (order ahead) and alfajores, as well as a bunch of other delights.

Maillard is fine- but I was a tad disappointed by their croissants (not as buttery as other places). I do need to go back to double check.

I too would like them to be a bit more buttery.

The sugar cookies there are the best!
