Downtown Frederick is home to some of the cutest boutiques, delicious eats, and Insta worthy spots you can find. While you will find tons of fun on the main drag of Market Street, there are plenty of must see stops a litter feather up or a side street over. Here are some of my favorite hidden gems and off the beaten path places that are a must see when visiting. How many of these Hidden Gems of Frederick have you been to?
Delizia Cafe
Maybe not so hidden but definitely one you need to check out! Delizia is a cozy cafe in the main block of Patrick Street. The cafe, though it may look small from the front, stretched back with two more dinning rooms in the back. This is the perfect meeting spot, afternoon lunch, and remote working destination. They calming atmosphere and delicious food is just as wonderful as the owners!
Truth & Beauty Kitchen and Bar
I’ll be honest, Truth & Beauty is my very favorite restaurant… like ever. The food is to die for, the staff is the best, and you get the best view of Carroll Creek on a Sunday morning or during the winter when the boats are lit up. The wings are my favorite 😉
Take Root
If you have made your way down Church St and over to Shab Row, Take Root isn’t so much f a hidden gem. In fact, it is probably one of your favorite shops now. This precious little plant shop as tons of unique plants, pots, and advice on what is best for your space!
Ivy’s Haven Boutique
A little newer to downtown, Ivy’s Haven Boutique is a fun and cozy clothing shop in one of the historic cabins at Everedy Square. You will find all your favorite trendy and cute clothes.
Augusta Rose
Augusta Rose sits on Patrick Street up a few steps and in the blue door! This little gem is tucked between the rows and haves some of the cutest clothing, home décor, and Maryland themed goodies! Say hey to Penny, one of our favorite downtown shop dogs, try on a new dress and enjoy this sweet boutique.
Sweet Clover
All the way at the end of Patrick street, you will find the new Sweet Clover shop! This place has all the vintage inspired home decor you are looking for (plus some you weren’t!). From fun velvet couches to sleek glass barware, you will find something new for your home!
Jessica Jordan Co.
While this funky little earing shop is on the first block of East Patrick Street, you might have walked right by the basement boutique. Down a few steps, you will find a bright, cheery, and unique little shop that you will want to visit again! Jessica Jordan Co. carries tons of adorable and funky earrings in tons of styles and themes. You’ll find lots of cute jewelry, fun accessories, and favorite keepsakes!
Perfect Blend Cafe
This is a downtown employees favorite spot, that should tell you everything! Perfect Blend Cafe is a short walk down West Patrick Street and you will not regret the detour for lunch. The flat bread pizzas, sandwiches, and drinks are so good!
Another Slice Of Cake
A newer addition to downtown, this sweet little bakery will take you father down Market Street. Up a few steps, the building is so charming, and the sweets are so good! You will definitely want to stop to get your sugar fill from Another Slice Of Cake!
McClintock’s Back Bar
McClintock is no secret to downtown Frederick but if you didn’t know it was there, you would never find it! McClintock’s Back Bar is downtowns Speakeasy. In a parking lot off Carroll Street and through some very large doors, the chill vibe and ridiculously good cocktails will have you wanting to stay!
