“We LOOOVE this restaurant! Not only delicious, but oh so much staff personality. Get Nico to create one of his over-the-top boozy concoctions for you. Then indulge in the Italian-crafted meat and cheese board (Salumi Misti). And do not miss the rosemary-marinated steak or the slow-roasted pork. Oh yeah, you’ll feel the LOOOVE, too!“
“The absolute best cake, cookies, pies and all I've tasted in decades. If you don't have your grandmother or great grandmother around to bake for you, this is where you should go. You will not be disappointed. I'm not even in a relationship and I want them to bake my wedding cake... Lol.“
“This pour over was so fun. I did a custom Guatemalan with a chocolate stuffed donut and the way the flavors evolved as the drink cooled was really great. The staff were friendly and the other guests even recommended some other local spots that we loved. They very obviously care about quality and have spent time figuring out their brew. Would love to see some extra seating aside from the bar area for study or work, but it doesn't take away from what was an incredible cup of coffee (the donut was also remarkably great but definitely overshadowed by such interesting and well brewed coffee).“
“I stopped by yesterday after leaving the vet with my dog and my mom. We enjoyed the atmosphere and the very friendly staff. The cinnamon roll, confetti muffin, and iced coffee were great! My dog was also given a pup cup. I'm really excited for the weather to warm up so I can sit outside and enjoy their patio space. I can see myself stopping by more often in the future.“
“After walking by Buns & Roses multiple times and always wishing it was dessert time, we finally made it happen today and were rewarded with a uniquely delicious dessert and very friendly, welcoming service.As you might have guessed, the chimney cones themselves are the star of the show here and appear to be handcrafted with great attention to detail, with a marshmallow at the bottom to keep all the ice cream from dripping out.We definitely want to come back again - I would like to try the coated chimney cakes next time, and the apple dumpling sounds great, too.The owner/employees here are welcoming to everyone who comes by and very clearly care about their customers.“
“Out enjoying a little stroll, I found a bubble waffle shop, and I'm so glad I did. The owner was running the counter and was so friendly and attentive. I was looking for something unique and new. I landed on the Lucky Charm, a seasonal flavor. Perfect flavors, perfect ingredients and perfectly made. Such a quaint little atmosphere.“
“This was our first time coming in and we really enjoyed our food. We got chicken and waffles, a classic crepe, and an egg and cheese crepe.The chicken was especially good!Staff was also super nice. There's a little coffee bar off to the side with sugar and different flavored creamers. I asked if they had just regular milk and they were able to give me some which was much appreciated.Definitely will be back.“
“I went here on a Sunday around 3:30 and there was a small crowd. We were able to get our items quickly after we ordered though it took a little while to order. There is a window that you order from and there is one cashier to take the order. The customer service was great. I was able to try the ice cone flavors. There were so many flavors and combination of flavors to choose from. They also had other treats like benigets, brownies, and cakes. They had Takhara brothers ice cream and I'm a huge fan of their ice cream, so I was excited to get the key lime, but it head run out. The clerk offered me other options and told me about the mango, guava, pineapple ice topped with fruit, so I decided to try it. I am so glad that I did. It was really flavorful and refreshing. There was cute outdoor seating that was well maintained. I will most definitely come back here.“
“I absolutely love Joanna's Cafe. I love their vanilla Frappes their food is really good,they have an amazing Strawberry Lemonade too. Great customer service,great food and at an affordable price. I love their house salad,their shrimp salad on a croissant roll and I like their chicken salad too. I haven't had any of their yummy desserts yet but plan to do so. My only wish is that they had later closing hours.Kid-friendliness: Joanna's Cafe has board games to play with your children while dining there to help keep them occupied and to have fun.“
“It was adorable, and everyone was so very nice. I went with a few friends and to make sure they had accommodations for my mother. I am so excited that they do and i am going again in 3 weeks with my nieces and my mother! It was fun and we had to be kicked out because we DEF took advantage of the two hour policy! Thank you all for being so amazing! See you soon“
“Really great service, a hipster vibe with tunes from late 80s to 2000s, and great coffee and food. Kid friendly.Kid-friendliness: Chill place where the staff know how to interact with kids. Not a "kid" place, but easy to dine in with our 2 and 9 year olds“
“What a lovely, charming place! And it supports the fire department. The coffee is great, food is tasty and the service is wonderful. We recently got some boxes of coffee for a promotion ceremony and I was really impressed. They had a good variety of sugar and cream, plenty of cups, and was hot and ready right on time. I also love to come here to work on days I absolutely need to get out of my house.“
“Staff is super sweet, the passion fruit green tea is delicious! Their milk teas are also great to try! Also if you get to nervous to order to the cashier they have 2 kiosks inside where you can play around with what you'd like in your drink.“
“Amazing family run business. They are always so kind and helpful.The sweet smell of sugary delicacies hits you as soon as you walk in.Everything they sell taste fresh and delicious. Tried a cronut today and would recommend it!Parking lot and establishment is kind of small.“
“Reddit said this was the best breakfast sandwich and they were not lying. The Cuban is terrific. Ham, swiss, eggs, pickles and dijonnaise. Also the staff was terrific. They put milk and sugar in my coffee for me which I think is a little thing but really appreciate. I wish it was closer to my house or my office but I will be back soon.As a side note, it's something about this particular neighborhood that I have been to three restaurants that were located inside older apartment buildings. It's a vibe up there.“
“best love and peace place for breakfast and drink coffee and so relaxed ☕️??❤️????? The best place of love and peace for breakfast and drinking coffee and having peaceTo have breakfast and coffee, I love you, and I love you, and I love you so muchThank you so much and God bless you ?Blessings and love and peaceBereket ve sevgi ve barış olsun ???“
“Baltimore seems to like these food courts where local eateries offer up all sorts of taste treats to the public. This particular food court is blessed to be where some truly great Baltimore dining establishments have their footprints. This time around, I ate noodles and tempura from Ejji Ramen, and I ate lemon cake from Atwater's. But in addition to those two companies, there are 14 other great eating and drinking establishments one can choose from for breakfast, lunch, or early dinner. It's not a fancy place; but the food is great.“
“This is an Italian gelato ice cream shop that sells various flavors.Four people visited and we all bought different flavors and shared them. All the flavors are great and really delicious. There are not many tables in the store. There is one table that can seat 4 people and about 3 tables that can seat 2 people.If you are eating or walking nearby, I recommend it as an ice cream worth stopping by.“
“I have been here a few times to work (wifi is great here!) and I really enjoy it! If you like cozy cafes, this should be on your list! Service is pretty good, sometimes people seem a little out of it but we're all human! The food is decent here (croissants muffins and what not), but the coffees/ drinks are where they shine the most! Not pictured is their amazing brown sugar espresso-- it was so good I ended up drinking it all before I could get a photo! Go order it-- asap you won't regret it!!Their cold brew is good- and strong! I added protein shake I brought with me for the day and they were great together. I love supporting black owned businesses and this place has a little something for everyone, so if you're in the area I'd defintely recommend.“
“The pastries all look so incredible but be prepared to pay quite a bit for them. The coffee and drinks are more reasonably priced so I’d recommend going there and just getting drinks and maybe splitting one of their pastries. They had a fair crowd on a Sunday morning but didn’t take too long to get our food and drinks. I see this more of a special occasion or date spot.“
“I have loved every tea from Wight Tea Company, from their loose leaf to their matcha. Brittany is friendly and communicative, and when I ordered matcha for the first time I even got a discount card. I always enjoy shopping local and plan to continue buying my tea from this team. :)“
“One of the best espressos I've had outside of home -- immense care and knowledge of beans types, origins, and roasting techniques, so it all makes sense! A few staple for me.Wheelchair accessibility: Nice new steel ramp covers the existing concrete steps, which I've uploaded via photo to Google Maps.“
“I’ve been here a number of times and I can honestly say they have the absolute best cappuccino in Baltimore. I am always hesitant to say that because in most cafes it often depends on who is at the machine that day, but I have yet to be disappointed from Good Neighbor. Their food is also very good. Always fresh ingredients. Service is very pleasant. Be warned early birds-food not served until 8 am!“
“This is a small family run restaurant and is a true hidden gem!I was blown by the quality of the foodThe grilled octopus ? appetizer was my favorite!Don't miss this place the next time you are in East Baltimore!Parking: Usually some street parking within 2 block radiusKid-friendliness: Tables are big enough for families to enjoy“
“Where We Bout To Eat AtTucked away down about 7 steps is @sophomorecoffeeWith great hot and cold beverages, tasty treats, and excellent customer service, there’s no better way to start your day!Check them out!!!#baltimorecoffee #baltimorecoffeeshops #baltimorelatte #coffeelovers #itsdgl #danigirlliving #boujiebudgetblogger #sipslow“
“My friends and I love Ocha Mocha! The vibes of the place are so good, and they play the most interesting music! It's a versatile place; you can go with friends and hangout, or go alone and get some work done. The staff are all friendly, coffee is great, and the food is pretty good, too. My go to oder is an Iced Ocha Mocha with almond milk. It never misses! Parking can be tricky, but there is a lot you can pay to park in if you are not able to park on the street.The only downside was that our food did take about 20 minutes because they had forgotten about it. It was worth the wait, though!“
“Always amazing drinks (coffee and mango matcha smoothie are to die for!) and awesome food. I've had the caprese panini and shrimp and grits, and the bananas foster french toast. They never miss ?Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian and vegan optionsDietary restrictions: They are very accommodating with many of the dishes. They were willing to remove the bacon from the shrimp and grits to make it pescatarian.Kid-friendliness: There are always babies and kids here, it's a nice vibe.“
“A little disappointed this time around.I ordered the Brie and ham cheese and a latte. Their coffee hits the spot every time. But I just paid $9 for something a mom makes for her kids lunch. (I mean no offense)And the amount of Brie is very little, at least spread it around.I also waited like, 10min after ordering for “the bread to be toasted”. My sandwich did not see an oven, it’s straight out of the bread bag.Sauce was good, but overall meh. Not worth $9.I’ll continue to come here for coffee, latte was awesome.Update 2/18/24:Coffee is perfect as usual, got the hot honey chicken sandwich which is pretty good. Wish there was a bit more honey or more spice to it but nonetheless it’s good.Owners were quick to the draw to help me figure out what to do about my last order, and I am super appreciative of them.“
“Major props for treating gluten free bread as the half-sized slices they are. This is the first place I've been to that spreads the sandwich contents across two small sandwiches. Every other place either attempts to stuff the insides onto puny slices (rarely) or more likely, simply gives you less. In those places, not only are you paying through the nose for GF bread, but you then get less food for the privilege. NOT SO at Atwater's. On top of delicious creations, you also get generous servings and can enjoy your meal like anyone else. Coincidentally had two meals in 3 days here and will be back!Dietary restrictions: GF“
“Stumbled upon this shop after leaving the nail salon and so glad I did. I almost didn't want to write this review to keep this place to myself. It's a small and quiet coffee shop, which is exactly what I was looking for. It also has lots of plant supplies and plants. I'm not sure if the person working that day was the owner, he was very friendly and knowledgeable about the products offered. He was patient with me as I decided on what to order and informed me that the coffee I chose was from Nepal. While I spent some time working, a few frequent customers came in and I only know this because the employee remembered their orders. There was also someone who came in about an issue they had with a product from the store and he exchanged it with no questions/charge. Bonus points for parking being easily available! I look forward to visiting again!“
“Great place with awesome food! The pizzas were absolutely delicious!! My co-workers & I super enjoyed it & the pizzas were only five dollars! What a steal. Thank you.Parking: Right across from courthouse & sits on a big open lot for plenty of space for parking.“
“I come here for taiyaki! Their oreo and cannoli cream one are so good. They even serve boba tea! Dairy and non dairy. The young lady in there is very friendly and helpful. She has successfully helped me try new things and explained them to me every time I go.“
“Nice, had a good variety of options but breakfast did end at 10 which seems a bit early. Staff was not friendly but not rude or off-putting at all. The atmosphere was so nice with sun and plants everywhere and my bagel and my boyfriend's BLT were amazing. Great selection of drinks too. The prices were very cheap, we were visiting Baltimore and having a super hard time finding anything with decent prices, but it was only $14 for a bagel, blt, and two drinks.Vegetarian options: There's definitely some vegetarian options, pretty much normal selection of breakfast foods plus lots of pastries to choose from“
“One of my favorite coffee brands period. I LOVE Ceremony Coffee. Their Thesis, Antithesis, and Mass Appeal blends — YES. I enjoy coming here to enjoy an iced Mocha latte with Almond milk. I’ve heard excellent things about their pour overs, although I’ve not tried it myself. Their pastries are also quite tasty. They host fun events like latte art showdowns, sensory experiences, and the like.“
“This place has a great atmosphere. I didn’t try any food options, but the drinks were great! I loved my hot chocolate, and my friend had a wonderful coffee. It was a great place to work as well- accessible seating and outlets were available. The staff was friendly and helpful.“
“This was my first visit. We stopped in for a quick light lunch. Very friendly helpful staff and a large array of options for not just coffee but food.Personal I settled on a three cheese grilled cheese ?. You get to pick your three types of cheese, or you could just go all in for one type....Parking: Parking is a bit tight especially during busy times. There is parking in back and a lot just across the street.“
“Food and service are all impeccable, but I really have to hand it to them, the atmosphere here is on point. I feel like I'm in the Twin Peaks diner whenever I'm there eating pie and sipping on coffee.It's homey, it's cozy, it feels like a staple of the community with the dog treats and local coffee. I wish they had more flexible hours, because I usually can't stop in after work. However, as Saturday morning treat, there's no where better to get savory and sweet pies.“
“First time ordering here.I got a vanilla latte with an extra shot of espresso.My husband got the fruity pebbles latte? Can't remember if that was the name.We both enjoyed our drinks. I wouldn't say it's any different than any other coffee shop.We also got breakfast sandwiches.The bacon gouda was super cheesy, but it was good.The jalapeño biscuit definitely had a kick to it. That was pretty good. Would I go back? Probably not. But I'm glad I tried it.“
“Loved it, great little cafe with a very chill atmosphere. Friendly and patient staff. A large amount of vegan options which is always appreciated.Vegetarian options: I can't speak to everything, but I had a vegan egg and cheese bagel sandwich that was amazing.“
“Love the ambience in the morning! Delicious food! I loved the avocado toast! With a side of bacon!! Kate was the best with her recommendations of chocolate latte! And the donuts and croissants were fabulous!!! Paired with a chocolate martini!!! Good morning Baltimore!!!! Fabulous customer service!!“

“This is the first coffee shop I’ve been to thats given me my coffee in an actual cup (as opposed to a to-go cup) in what feels like years. I forgot how nice that is, and was reminded the second they brought it to me lol. All in all the coffee was good, the music is a really nice volume and is good music, its not super crowded. I will come back!“
“Been here a few times and while the food and drinks are good, the service disappoints. OneDo never seems to open on time during the week. I’ve tried going before twice within the last month and had to walk away because they weren’t open during the hours that were posted on the door.“
“I love this place. I usually get my signature Iced vanilla chai latte w/ almond milk and it's sooo good. the almond milk they use is great. My only complaint is there's rarely ever any snickerdoodle muffins. I've come a handful of times and 2 times were the only chance I was able to get my hands on one. I would say maybe make more if they're so popular or make more at two separate times. I usually don't get a chance to go during weekdays and only weekends and never get them on weekends. But lovely place a staff (:“
“Found this place when I moved to Baltimore, by far the best coffee, I only buy a pound every 2 weeks, haven't tried anything else. Like the fact it's local and freshly roasted here, why pay less at Costco for old tasteless coffe , for few bucks more you get the best✌“
“I am highly impressed with the level of service and food quality at this Caffe. The place has a divvy feel to it. I loved the quirky decor and the humous conversation between the cook and the man in front. They were so friendly and in sync, I could not tell if they were co-owners. I kept it simple: classic breakfast and a more "trendy" beverage. Nailed both. At any other place, I would've paid $6 for the spiced chai tea close to $20 for the breakfast. Here. Less than $20 for both. For me, the best part of the service was hearing what I wanted and serving it right, 10/10 recommend“
“Groovy food hall(ish) place. Atwaters is generally my go to, but I have picked up exotic chocolates and a seafood club sandwich (hard to stop eating it long enough to wipe my lips with a napkin). Cell service is a little funky, but they have free wifi just in case.“
“Love the place for breakfast, but the lunch sandwiches present a very real value issue when looking at cost to portions. For $17, I would hope that my sandwich is big enough to fix my hunger! Not enough filling, too short of bread. Tasty, but VERY expensive for the portion.“
“A wonderful roasting business with friendly staff and delicious coffee. I get their coffee every Sunday at Mt. Washington Farmers Market. They’ve taught me so much about coffee varieties. When I buy whole bean, it’s Dear Globe. Amazing people.“
“Just moved back to Baltimore and went to Pfefferkorn's yesterday and met owner Patti who was so friendly. They have a wonderful selection of coffees and ground ours for a French press. I have to say that it's the best coffee that I've ever tasted! We definitely will be back for more and it also makes great gifts for family and friends. The other bonus is supporting a local, fifth generation business.“
“I absolutely love Dunkins coffee. So I was very hurt when I woke up and my Dunkins was closed. NO warning or reason just closed. So I had to spend $10 to get A cup of coffee door dashed because they just closed. Looks like they are remodeling but I have moved away now.“
