breeze bakery

while i was in maryland, i was taken out to eat at a lot of new places but i was too busy having fun to blog about them. luckily, i took pictures at this cute bakery that christy took me to one night


it was called Breeze Bakery. they sell foods & drinks like cakes, cupcakes, flan, donuts, cookies, yogurt, breads, sandwiches, soups, salads, coffees, & teas


honestly, everything looks so good that we didn't really know what to pick so brenda, christy, & i said we'd all buy something & share it w each other. we ended up getting flan, a cupcake, & a yogurt

all of the desserts were so cute & delicious, 10/10 would go back
