“Good food, but everything was beige. A bit of color or garnish would have made everything more interesting.Given the number of coffee drinks they have, it was surprising that they didn’t have a basic iced coffee.Restaurant was bright , clean and we had enough space, but music was very loud.“
“While I don't have breakfast frequently, being in a hotel without one included, I decided to look around for a good place for breakfast. Could have easily gone to a big chain, but I wanted to support some local. I happened to find this little diner on US 1. After getting turned around a couple times, I found this diner. The atmosphere is about what you expect for a small diner; nothing fancy but it works. Other than a couple of the stools needing their cushions replaced, nothing to complain about.Could have had scrapple again, but I went with something a little safer. I had the French toast with bacon and added two over-easy eggs to that. The French toast was nice and fluffy and the right amount of cinnamon and powdered sugar. The bacon was nice and crispy and not burned and the eggs had the delightfully runny yolk for a fried over-easy egg.The staff at the diner was very cheerful and friendly and were happy to be there. They do lunch, too, so if you're a little late for breakfast, they do sandwiches, too.If you're looking for a place that isn't fancy and does the basics just right, definitely give Elkridge Deli Cafe a visit.“
“Overall: Super sweet service with delicious cake! I popped in to grab two large pieces of cake- tiramisu and tres leches. Both were to die for. I will definitely be back. The employee was super duper friendly and kind. They casual seating inside and a few outdoor tables. They also serve breakfast and lunch.“

“Had a wonderful lunch here the other day with my friend. Service was great and the food was also delicious. Great vegetarian options. The cafe is very cute and my friend and I had a great time enjoying tea and lunch. I will definitely come back :)“
“This the best donuts I have ever had! Those donuts not just delicious, they are perfect, beautiful treat to feel yourself with happiness! The also have different promotional offer - so, today I received a free makeup gift which is full size bottle of foundation, is not it amazing! Love you, guys, and ready to spend 45 minutes to drive!“
“I recently visited My Kabul with family and some friends. Having been to most Afghan restaurants in the DMV and being Afghan myself I can say that the food was average. We ordered mantu and spinach for appetizers. Mantu has a good taste, but barely any yogurt sauce on them. The spinach lacked salt and not as flavorful as other restaurants.The kebabs were juicy, however lacking salt. The rice was good as well. Overall food needs improvement and salt please!!The service was great, our waiter was kind and hospitable. The atmosphere was very welcoming and homey. I enjoyed the dining table and chair setup as if we were at someone’s house.Overall, I wouldn’t drive out of my way to come here, but I might stop by if I’m in the area.“
“Such a pleasant, relaxing place to have coffee and authentic crepes. I live within walking distance, so I tell myself the calories don't count if I walk over. I had a classic crepe suzette, and my friend had a savory Mediterranean crepe, filling enough for lunch or Saturday brunch.“
“We ordered carryout and bought the shrimp with crab meat and grits. It was seasoned extremely well and hands down some of the best grits ever.The honey French toast was extremely good. The scrambled eggs were bland andThe bacon was OK. The seafood salad was also seasoned well.I am taking one star off because the portion sizes were SMALL. For $26.99 we expected a larger amount for the grits. Instead we received a sm-iny bowl of grits that was more like an appetizer. We could have gotten two large size bowls from elsewhere for that price as we've done before.The shrimp salad portion was small too. Even the amount of chips included were like 1/2 cup. The French toast was average size, and not big and fluffy like some other places. Would we spend $70+ here again for the portions we received? I doubt it.“
“Swung by here from out of town. We only got an iced coffee, a mocha frappé and a cheese danish, and we were impressed! The pastry was fresh, soft and yummy, and the drinks were above expectations. The baristas were friendly, too. Peeped a few salads and they looked amazing too. Seemed a lot of people were there on coffee dates.“
“Ragamuffin is a quaint little spot located in Laurel, MD. As you walk in you're greeted by friendly staff and the smell of wonderful treats. I went with a croissant and caffe latte which were delicious. This is definitely a place I can definitely visit again.“
“They were really nice. First time here and the young lady taking my order was really lovely . I got the Buffalo chicken tender platter, really well made chicken. I can tell it was fresh and the Buffalo sauce wasn’t overpowering. Great choice for lunch?!“
“Absolutely delicious and I didn’t even get to try their coffee but I will be back. But please if you go there try the pound cake. It’s to die for… like why is it so good how was this pound cake created so perfectly. And it’s not too sweet “
“This place was on my try-list for a long time and I'm so glad I came! I came here after I finished an exam following a stressful start to my week. The place immediately made my day! Bryan took my order at the register, and he had the most welcoming warm and positive energy. The place itself is small, but it is so cozy and charming. I ordered a BYOBreaky with sourdough, a runny egg, bacon, and veggies - it was absolutely delicious. I also got a Split and Griddled muffin at Bryan's suggestion and loved it. My "You're my Best Friend" drink was also great and the perfect temperature. I look forward to coming again 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“
“This was a wonderful spot to work remotely for two days while traveling. Delicious coffee, great food (with a lot of options!) and really nice service, and a good relatively quiet spot to setup laptop with accessible outlets in the back of the shop! Highly “
“Love this old town Ellicott city Café. It’s filled with characters and chill vibes.Even though it’s located on the edge of the old town. It does not make parking any easier. They do have their own little parking lot. However, given the amount of customers they have on daily base. This little parking lot is filled up fairly quick. Most of the time we have to look for parking on the side streetsThey have an extensive menu for sandwiches and coffee drinks. Also fresh pastries in the bakery displays. Tasty coffee, chai, & more.Friendly and efficient services.The favorite seats for most will be the ones close to the window. Just perfect… ☕️?Highly recommended by @winedinenvacay“
“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. :)“
“We recently discovered Sweet 27, had driven by many times but never stopped. We were getting tired of our same favorite spots and decided to try something new. They did not disappoint! Family owned, which we love supporting. Food was very good and different things on the menu that I had not seen on other Indian restaurant menus. Vegan bakery is excellent! Highly recommend trying! One of the owners helped us so kind and warm.“
“We live around the corner and come here often. If we were farther away we’d come here often. We love the laid back ambiance, the food, and the friendly staff. It’s especially nice for me as a vegetarian, but they also have great food for omnivores and in between folks. We don’t have our favorites most anything on the menu is great.“
“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!“
“Chill vibe, plenty seating and a nice patio !I got the pumpkin brûlée and it was the one ! So moist, sweet and fluffy. Beautiful presentation and the packaging is great too !Very nice service and welcomingOn the counter they have more pastries for a low price. I couldn’t resist an apple croissant and it was as crispy as it was flaky ! Truly a great treatParking: Lot of student housing and residential in the area“
“Georgia Grace Cafe is 5/5 in every way! Everything I’ve had there is absolutely delicious and you can just taste how fresh everything is. The atmosphere is super cute and matches the vibe of Historic Ellicott City perfectly. If you’re looking for a healthy breakfast or lunch, GG is the way to go!“
“The food was absolutely delicious. The staff were very friendly and pleasant to talk to, they were eager to please. Had a recommendation to have the baked apples as a side, they were wonderful. Highly recommend this family friendly restaurant to all for a pleasant small town establishment!!Vegetarian options: Vegetable pita“
“700 South was started many years ago when there were hardly any eateries or healthy choices for the many workers in the Linthicum/BWI area. The food has always been fresh and a good quality for the price. 700 South has continually maintained these attributes even today. Further, the employees, owners, and now their grown off-spring turned this into a very caring, quality business that strive for excellent service! This business thrives because of all these attributes from excellent food, great service, and fine detailed attention paid to each order! 700 South even has accolades for their food and has won cookoffs with their multiple prize-winning crab soup! Think what grandmom or mom cooked when you were little. So, if you haven't patroned this deli yet or placed a catering order, do yourself a favor and stop in and try their food. You won't regret it! Thank you 700 South for providing these healthy, quality options for workers for many, many years and for the excellent standards set that make customer order interactions and fulfillment a pleasure!Melenie - A Long time original customer who orders delivery for the job and take-out personally, quite often!!!!!!!!!!!Vegetarian options: They have a veggie sandwich and salad selections. They are always willing to try and accomodate, remove, and/or add items to selected menu listings as pre-specified.Dietary restrictions: One only has to ask about dietary restrictions and reach out to 700 South. For the most part they accommodate and offer alternative suggestions any time they have been contacted. Those receiving special dietary restricted meals have always been pleased with the provisions and I do run into this often with catering orders for work.Parking: Parking at prime lunch time can be slim, but one just has to circle around and maybe walk a tad further. It is a small place and the access road has reasonable off the main drag parking.“
“Absolutely adorable cafe with excellent customer service! Food and coffee was excellent. This is a hidden gem! We had the Easter special French Toast stuffed with carrot cake and it was heavenly! The crispy chicken picante and fries were perfect!“
“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“
“Good vegan options for brunch, lunch, and dinner. Decent place to bring your Omni friends where you know you’ll be able to eat. Service has been friendly and attentive. Coffee/lattes are good. They usually have Vegan Treats from PA which is rad.“
“Coffee and muffins are great. The wifi was pretty quick. It looks like a local business done right. They also have a decent selection of pastries for those with food allergies.Dietary restrictions: They carry gluten-free pastries with compete labels.Parking: Parking out front and out back.“
“On a Roll offers excellent customer service and hospitality; if it is feasible, they will modify their menu to your preferences. This location has been quite convenient for me because I have the privilege of working close by. I guarantee that once you make one trip, your bank account will be “On a Roll.”“
“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“
“It is the first time I bought crabs from B & B. It has a high rating and I thought, why not try this place? I usually buy crabs from Crab Shack II in Gwynn Oak.Well, I have to say, the taste of the crab meat, exceeds my expectation. The crab meat has a tinge of spice in it. It is not hot, just perfect, to taste some spice in the meat. The comments I heard at the table, "crabs are meaty", "it taste so good".I placed the order for 4 dozen crab (2 dozen males and 2 dozen combo, small and medium) the night before . It rain all day the next day. B & B called me to confirm the order. I changed the time for pick up, added 15 minutes to the time. I picked up the crabs and it is steaming hot. Perfect! They definitely accommodate customers--even on flood watch.Why didn't I give them a 5* for service? They only sell by the dozen. So, if you are looking to buy crabs at half bushel or full bushel, look elsewhere.It has a decent size parking lot where you can park and wait for your order. I did like the fact that I was the only customer waiting for crabs. I came early because of weather. Though I can imagine what parking, looks like, in great weather.“
“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 (:“
“The staff is always so pleasant, the food is amazing, the prices are great, the location is convenient, and they are unbelievably fast. I go for breakfast once a week -(turkey bacon, egg, and Swiss on white) the egg is cooked so perfectly and the sandwich is constructed so neatly. They have plenty of options for bread, cheese, and meat. The coffee and iced tea are always fresh and delicious. There's also several fridges with vitamin waters, Arizona teas, sodas, etc. And some racks of snacks. Ive also had their MD crab soup and it was incredible. Absolutely love this place“
“This is a phenomenal, hole-in-the-wall cafe that reminds me of New York! The owner is very friendly and has been here since 1992. The food is fresh, tasty, and the prices are very reasonable. We were shown excellent customer service and attention. I cannot recommend this place enough!Wheelchair accessibility: There's a ramp in front that goes up to the main door.“
“Really good service and prices. Lots of flavor options-two people in our group didn't like their drinks (new to boba so not really sure what they like yet lol) but the girl was nice enough to let both of them get a different drink for no upcharge. And the price was much lower than expected!“

“Located on the ground floor at the back of the building near the large parking lot. Follow the sweet smelling aroma to this place. Everything I tried tasted great. Will definitely be back.Parking: Plenty of street parking in addition to the parking lot.“
“Title: "Nordstrom Cafe: A Three-Day Culinary Journey Through a Hidden Gem" Introduction: Nordstrom Cafe may not be the first place that comes to mind for a remarkable dining experience, but after spending three consecutive days here, I can confidently say that it's a hidden gem worth discovering. Day 1 - Caesar Salad with Grilled Shrimp: My culinary adventure began with a classic Caesar salad, elevated by succulent grilled shrimp. The freshness of the lettuce, the creaminess of the dressing, and the perfectly grilled shrimp combined to create a delightful symphony of flavors. It was a refreshing start to my journey, setting high expectations for what was to come. Day 2 - Mushroom Ravioli with Parmesan Cream Sauce: On my second visit, I decided to explore the pasta offerings and was blown away by the mushroom ravioli. Nestled in a velvety parmesan cream sauce and adorned with sun-dried tomatoes and spinach, each bite was a revelation. The ravioli itself was tender, and the earthy flavors of mushrooms harmonized beautifully with the creamy sauce. It was a dish that would make any Italian nonna proud. Day 3 - Grilled Tuscan Salmon with Couscous and Mixed Vegetables: For my grand finale, I opted for the grilled Tuscan salmon. The fish was impeccably cooked, with a perfectly seared exterior and a tender, flaky interior. Paired with a bed of fluffy couscous and an array of vibrant mixed vegetables, it felt like a culinary trip to the Mediterranean. The flavors were fresh, and the portion was generous, leaving me fully satisfied. Conclusion: Nordstrom Cafe isn't just a place to grab a quick bite while shopping; it's a culinary destination waiting to be uncovered. With a diverse menu offering dishes like the Caesar salad with grilled shrimp, mushroom ravioli with parmesan cream sauce, and grilled Tuscan salmon with couscous and mixed vegetables, this cafe offers a hidden treasure trove of flavors. Three days in a row, I was treated to exceptional food, and each dish left an indelible mark on my taste buds. If you're seeking a hidden gem in the world of dining, Nordstrom Cafe should be on your list. Don't be surprised if, like me, you find yourself returning for more culinary adventures.“
“I downloaded the app bc their self service kiosk had an ad that said 30% off first order. ? The app was easy to use and you get a free drink after ordering 6, so that's a plus!I got a ? ?-Milk Slush for me and a Matcha Boba Milk ? for my teen and we both loved our drinks! They came out SUPER quick after ordering via the app (both visits there), which was another plus, since parking in the plaza was awful.Parking: Parking was a PitA in the plaza both times (and one other time I ended up not getting anything bc I couldn't find parking)... There's an order pickup spot by the front door which is nice, to run in / out quickly!“
“I didn't eat anything but they do have a couple of gluten-free pastries. My latte was very tasty and the outdoor seating is cute & vibrantly quaint on this cloudy day. The servers were quick and efficient. Kind of wish there was somewhere to sit inside as there's only outdoor seating.“
“On the hill is my favorite coffee shop in Baltimore. Food & drinks are consistently good and reasonably priced. You can't beat $6.50 for a bacon egg & cheese bagel. They have online ordering which makes it super convenient to order coffee on my way to work. They also have those cane sugar sodas on draft which are so good if you are going on a coffee break, I don't know where else you can get a fountain cream soda.“
“Quaint atmosphere and a very nicely decorated, well kept place. Excellent food, excellent service. I was thoroughly impressed and amazed at how two young people were able to flawlessly handle a near full capacity restaurant on no less than 4 levels, with a refreshingly fantastic attitude to boot. Bravo.“
“The name is very literal, it is a cafeteria inside a big business / corporate building. However, it is very tidy and clean, friendly and accommodating.We came here after looking up breakfast places on Google Maps, and it was extremely affordable and delicious. A little limited on the menu, but I think that is to be expected from a cafeteria restaurant.Come with cash, otherwise expect surcharges and minimum purchases.Parking: The parking lot is outside a corporate building without any signs saying the cafe exists inside the big building“
“We held a luncheon for family and friends after a special event and could not have been happier with how it went. We called ahead a.few minutes before all 15 of us showed up and the staff didn't skip a beat. They graciously and quickly got us seated by combining tables together. Our waiter Noah was kind, patient and efficient throughout our visit. He even took a group photo for us. Everyone found delicious options off the menu and the out of towners couldn't say enough about how much they enjoyed this local spot. All of our food came out in a timely matter and was just excellent! We were so grateful for the fantastic hospitality from all the staff and even the manager checked in on us to make sure everything was good. If you've never been make it a point to visit this local gem; you want be disappointed!“
“My absolute favorite brunch spot, probably one of the best in Baltimore. A genuine pigtown gem ... The food is hearty, satiating, and decadent... Not to mention affordable. Service is even better, it's like they could read my mind when I needed something. And the atmosphere is so cozy, it's like visiting family. Seriously y'all if you don't visit you're missing out. ?“
“Great place in the very heart of Thong Sala. I went there about a year ago and was not let in with a Laptop and never went back. To my surprise I walked in today and happy to see that they embraced the fact that there are many of us digital nomads around looking for a great space to sit, have coffee, food and work.“
“For airport food this place is pretty good! If you have time to do a sit down restaurant this one is worth stopping by especially if you are in the A terminal, but you need to have about an hour of time to spare. I really liked my salad that I got. I did dressing on the side but I think that was a mistake and I should have just gotten the sauces as is. The salad and other veggies were very fresh. The chicken was perfectly crispy! My husband got one of their chicken sandwiches. I had a bite and it was delicious! I had to take a star off though because it took them a while to seat us even though there were open tables and when they finally did they sat us at a table that hadn't been wiped down yet. Overall though visiting their airport location made me want to visit the real location especially for brunch.“
“This place has really really good sub sandwiches, the ingredients are excellent (don't go for the breakfast sandwiches my friend said theirs were bad). The service is really good, the ladies working here are really efficient, great at their job and work together well, it's clear. They have fun paintings up and it's a good environment here. The bathrooms are also not bad.There are a lot of military people here but they are nice, anyone can come here.“
“The location is tightly situated when it comes to parking, but the food and service make up for any inconvenience. The greeter/register attendants were gracious. Our server was so friendly and jovial that our interaction was quite memorable. Unfortunately, I'm horrible with names, so I can't give him the most deserving shout-out. I am a picky eater and hate all grenery that is usually garnishing your meal. Our server must have relayed super specific instructions for the chef because everything I don't like was in little tin cups to the side. I truly enjoyed my meal thanks to him. The restaurant quickly became crowded, but it was truly understandable as to why. Keep up the great job, First Watch Team. We thank you!!!“
“This is My New Favorite Place!!!This cheesecake and the owner are awesome! I've been there every night this past week buying some of the most delicious cheesecake I have ever had in my life! ?? Do the smart thing and listen to your inner mouse and your toes will definitely curl up when you taste any or all of these ( i think coffee mug sized ) delicious delightful treats! @TheCheesecakeCafe #OreoIsMyFav #1Taste #Delightful #Delicious #SoGood #TheCheescakeCafé“
“We love this place, we started coming since they opened, we used to go to café EZ 1 in Ellicott City, but we like this one better as has more space and more tables. All servers, and personnel are polite, always with good vibe. Food is great, they have a lot of options available. We like to come for Breakfast, Brunch or Lunch. But this place has all day Breakfast options. So, if you are like me, you can enjoy a great selection of pancakes at noon ?.The only thing we don't like much are the prices, but everything is expensive nowadays, right? So, I don't blame this place for rising their prices as food is 98% of the times delicious. Coffee is also great, kind of the same price as Starbucks :( but is good coffee. They have also smoothies which are also delicious and other "adult" drinks for a happy hour... Burgers, salads, wraps, all I've tried here has been if not delicious, great or good. We have never experienced any bad time.Just the heads-up, this place can be crowded, so expect some waiting time at lunch or around 9-10 for breakfast during weekends. ?Vegetarian options: Crepes, salads, etc. Vegan options as well.Parking: Plenty of parking“
