29 Best Coffee Shops in Annapolis

“We are early risers, so it’s great to have a spot that opens at 6:00 am! We were pleasantly surprised at how amazing the breakfast sandwich tasted. A bonus perk that it’s not overly expensive. I also got the iced peach matcha latte, which had a nice flavor.“

“Loved the atmosphere, the sidewalk dining, the excellent and creative latte, and of course the St. Paddy's day cupcakes with the Lucky Charms (one topper per cupcake). I didn't actually eat one, that was pure eye candy, but we did thoroughly enjoy the two savory pastries we did have. ;) Nice people too.“

“Friendly staff, largest latte —24 oz. — available anywhere in Annapolis, easy parking, and nice breakfast sandwich choices. When my friend asked for a beverage not on the menu, they were happy to make one, and then in their own time worked to make it better for the next time my friend asked for it.“

“I recently discovered this bakery via Instagram a few weeks ago. I originally visited the Edgewater location but decided to visit the Annapolis Port location this morning. I was not disappointed. While small this place is very efficiently run. Staff was all very friendly and pleasant, the pastries are absolutely amazing, the coffee was delicious, the breakfast sandwich was delicious and this was an overall Top 10 bakery experience. I highly recommend checking this bakery out. It’s a little hidden gem in the port of Annapolis right on the water in a marina. There’s a few tables inside more tables and benches outside. It’s a perfect treat.“

“My brother and I stopped here for coffees and a smoothie. My favorite thing about this coffee (I got a peppermint latte) is that it was sweet, but not sickly, instant diabetic sweet like lattes from that one place (the one that rhymes with Plarbucks).I love what they do at this place (employ people with disabilities) and wish there were more places like this.“

“We walked in late last night because I noticed they had gluten free (GF) and vegan pizza. The owner greeted us when we walked in and was very excited to make my pizza when he found out I was vegan/GF. He was proud of the level of care and compliance they adhere to when making allergy friendly options. He told us TropQ stands for “Ty’s Recipes Zero (0) Preservatives Quality.” The vegan cheese was outstanding - melted like a real cheese pizza! I will say that the thin GF crust was charred on the outside but soft on the inside, so each slice was a bit “floppy” when you picked it up. But it tasted very good. We will definitely be back!“

“What an incredible bookstore coffee house. The type of place you'd likely find a rare 1st edition, and maybe bump ever so casually into Joe Goldberg (kidding! ?) The coffee hits with subtle floral notes along with a deeper nuanced profile of dark chocolate and caramel. Exceptionally smooth, with a lingering aftertaste that invites contemplation. Antique decorations adorn the walls and reading nooks hidden among the shelves invite longer stays, enveloping visitors in a cozy embrace that marries the love of literature with the passion for exquisite coffee.“

“I literally at a playa bowls (various locations ) almost everyday. I have tried 5 different locations and it’s typically the same. Quick service, same taste and quality, similar atmosphere, busy and same fresh fruits. My personal faves are coconut based bowls and the booster smoothies but their juices and other items are just as good. Also the rewards are always on time, the free bowl goes a long way on a day you’re short on cash and want a refreshing pick me up bowl or smoothieVegetarian options: Everything is meat freeDietary restrictions: Great for vegans with vegan protein and dairy free milks and gluten free optionsParking: Open free parking lotKid-friendliness: Very colorful and inviting“

“You know when you find a staple clothing item that is so "you", it feels like it's always been a part of your wardrobe?That's what Oscar's feels like. I can't even remember how we got along without it! The baristas are lovely and personable, the coffee is consistently delicious, and they offer little snacks and pup cups for the pooches of Eastport, too.Instantly and deservedly beloved coffee spot in a gorgeous, eminently-walkable location. The only thing I would change is the hours--would love to stop by for a mid-afternoon pick-me-up. ☕️♥️“

“I had heard about this from a former coworker. Husband and I tried it for breakfast to go. The pastries looked great. I got the PB&J croissant and my spouse had the almond croissant. His was ready within two minutes. I had to wait on mine. And wait. I asked and was told "We'll call you when it is ready!". After 15 minutes I asked, loudly, where was my order? The staffer said "Oh it's here". It had been there the whole time. Now it was lukewarm. But it was delicious. Thus 4 stars. The staff should not act aloof. You work in a bakery, not Harrods! And take off the AirPods! It's a bad look in customer service. A tweek on service attitude and this place will be perfect ! . This place is open on Sundays.“

“Per the usual--amazing coffee and tasty snacks. Acai bowls are my favorite. Something embarrassing to share - the woman at the counter was handed what looked like a super cute espresso shot with a fancy little ginger cookie on top with whipped cream. SO cute that I wanted one! ...It was a pup cup.“

“Best specialty coffee in the area. The espresso is really good. They know how to pull really good shots of espresso. I believe the owner is the only one who works the cafe so it takes a couple minutes for him to attend you but its worth it. Very nice person!Pistachio latte is really goood! Black sesame latte too (if you like nutty peanut butter flavors).“

“Bean Rush Café is definitely going to be my new coffee spot! The service, food, and coffee was 10/10. The bacon, egg, and cheese on a croissant was the exact sandwich I was in the mood for. The cashiers were super friendly and welcoming and I will definitely be recommending this place to everyone I know. I can't wait to enjoy another coffee and sandwich from Bean Rush Café again!“

“I spent my summer in Annapolis and this place was my little safe place while there. So cute , everything is delicious and the coffee is great. I wish they delivered because now that I’m back home I’m been craving ?. Thank you for always a great experience and delicious sweets.“

“Food, music, coffee, atmosphere, service are all fantastic. I hesitate to leave a review as it’s best as the hometown gem it is. Love the early (7:30am?) and late hours (midnight?)…only place to get a coffee in late afternoon, and they have a full (awesome) menu. The “bar” next door bleeds live music over, but quieter in the restaurant, which is perfect. One wish: Covid is over / new normal…can we have Hollandaise on weekends again? #BringBackBenedict!Parking: Parking depends “when”. 9am is no problem right in front. 9pm is probably the garage a block away.“

“rain was falling, so we decided to wait it out in this coffee shop.best decision!staff were super helpful and gave us chocolates for mother’s day along with our coffees, ice cream and candy.the ice cream was a bit pricey but it wasn’t too sweet and tasted really nice.will def be a repeat customer.“

“Looking for a quick coffee break from all your shopping adventures in downtown Annapolis? Rise Up might be the spot! We visited here for the first time a few days ago as we were traveling through Maryland and stopped in Annapolis for the day and we were pleasantly surprised with both the seasonal maple iced latte and the iced tea we got. I didn’t see until I had already received my drink that they had a supposedly iconic coffee smoothie on their menu. That was probably their best menu item - shame I didn’t get a chance to try it. Next time!! But yeah, this place is located in a little food hall that has several different vendors all in one location. So, you can come here for food from some other places and get your coffee at Rise Up all at the same time! I really enjoyed this place, service was good, our drinks came out fast, and there really were no complaints. I will be trying the coffee smoothie next time I’m in Annapolis and stop by Rise Up!!“

“Cute atmosphere, great prices, gluten free options and ton of beverages to choose from. The selection was amazing! I’ll definitely be coming back. Only wish it had been a little cozier on a dreary day, but otherwise was great!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options“

“A trip to Ceremony’s roasting center will clearly display the great care that goes into their beans. From sourcing to testing, Ceremony offers excellent coffee that is smooth and delicious. I would always recommend a visit when visiting any of their locations.“

“"Cafe Ole" has the best coffee in Annapolis MD.My boss buys regularly coffee for us from "Cafe Ole".My Doppio is strong and sweet at the same time. (Starbucks the Doppio is sour) If you drink doppio you will know.I invite the Annapolis community to support "Cafe Ole" Thank you for such a great coffee.“

“Let me start off by saying that Riley is amazing! I admittedly went to Dunkin' 10 minutes prior to them closing and halfheartedly expected that they would not have any donuts left. I arrived and the floor was mopped, everything was sparkling and there were no donuts on the shelves. I was greeted by Riley and she asked me what she could help me with and I proceeded to tell her that I was hoping to get a donut for my son's birthday. Out of nowhere, she pulls out his favorite donut...a pink frosted donut with sprinkles. Her customer service was amazing and tomorrow she will have made my son very happy as he starts his first day as a four-year-old! ?“

“Starbucks set the bar high with their early-morning hospitality today! The staff's friendliness was great, and one employee went the extra mile by offering to wipe my table down before I sat. A truly pleasant start to the day! Coffee is always great!“

“Cappuccino was very good. One barrister was working, so I had a little bit of a wait for my order. Grab a cup and take a stroll through the Yard.Parking: Unless you have a Military ID, you cannot park on the "Yard". Fortunately, the coffee house is right next to Gate 3 and walk in entry.“

“Great seating area by the fireplace; big shout-out to the staff who had our coffee ready in record time. Busy time of year, but they were still friendly and hard-working!Had no food this time, therefore no 'food' stars, as they do not apply.“

“This The Absolute Most Best Starbucks Location Ever! I’ve been Coming Here Since 2017 & They Get My Drink Right Every Time! Love Them It’s Literally The Mostly Friendliest Staff The Atmosphere Is Beautiful The Vibe Is Great I Love This Location My All Time Favorite Because They Always Get It Right Gooo Annapolis ? ??“

“I ordered two hot cocoa boxes for my son‘s holiday party at school. I called and left my order over the phone with a very helpful Dunkin’ Donuts employee. My order was ready to be picked up on time the next morning with cups lids and napkins in a bag.I was in and out in two “

“I like this place a lot. My only complaint is that it's so bloody cold in there!! I freeze and my coffee cools off very fast. In the summer it's like a refrigerator and sitting outside is difficult if you're trying to work because of the glare, plus all the traffic.“

“This is the best Starbucks in Annapolis they always have what I drink and you can pick up at the driver up the young man on there in the morning has the Friendly voice and is always cheerful and happy he make my day everytime I go there if he on there say hello to him“

“Sam and Caroline are the best people in the world. Order tea and coffee cake.Tea slipped out of my hand and they were so nice to clean up and get me a new tea. And did everything with kind smiles.Just absolutely the best Starbucks service and attitudes I have experienced in my 50 plus years of life . Great job hiring.“
