25 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.“

“Rose did a wonderful job helping everyone who came in the get out of the heat and get something cold to drink. She had great recommendations. Angie was speedy with helping to make drinks and provided great conversation about the merchandise that's sold in the store. This is my 4th location of Bitty and Beau's and each one never disappoints!“

“Found this rare gem in Eastport while visiting my daughter in Annapolis. Missed seeing Oscar that day but the coffee was excellent. Highly recommend this coffee house/trailer!“

“Super cute little place. Coffee was delicious. Staff was so nice. I got a medium ice caramel latte and it was so delicious. I stopped around 10am on a Monday and it was crowded with a line. There were only a few indoor seating options which was fine but I think the person trying to work was annoyed at the amount of people. So great place to come and enjoy but maybe not the quiet work space if you’re looking for that.“

“Highly recommended! Awesome people!“

“phenomenal mushroom soup. best ever albacore tuna sandwich-the flavors were delicious and truly tasty. 😋 highly recommend and look forward to trying more from your menu!!“

“The owners are amazing! The staff is absolutely stellar and the treats and drinks are out of this world!! ASK THEM ABOUT THEIR WINe!!“

“I’d give it 6 stars if I could. Looks like a bookstore from the outside, but guess what?! Well. It kind of is a bookstore. Because it’s IN a bookstore. But that’s part of its charm. The coffee is great, obviously. And they have tea. Just don’t you dare ask for chamomile. Or if you’re feeling playful, you can always get some hot choccy. They’re always playing great music too. A fantastic atmosphere. I go in every single day with my laptop to do some work and I swear, I accomplish more in one hour than a college kid on Adderall cramming at 4am for an 8am final. The real absolute rockstar of the show, though, is Madison. I think she might actually be superhuman. Once I ordered something and she told me no, I don’t want that, and then made me something else. And you know what? She was absolutely right. It’s like she was able to take her hand and reach it into the deep, dark recesses of my soul and somehow know more about me and what I want than I’ve ever known about myself my whole life. I will never question her on anything again. If you’re in Annapolis for even just one day, this place is a must stop. Just don’t come when I’m there, I’m trying to get some work done.“

“A+
I'm a coffee addict who seeks out specialty roasters all over the county.
This is a serious shop that makes several conscious choices:
Local bagel with butter for $2
Sample of the nitro
Superb decaf
Diverse selection of pour-overs
Honest menu advice
Hario dealer
Visible roasting operation
Went out of their way to correct *MY* mistake on a grinding order.
-
Ignore the line. Worth the wait.
If I lived locally, I'd be a regular.
Congrats to the owner/management and the staff on duty today.“

“Baltimore Coffee and Tea Co is a great place for Tea since I don't drink coffee. My sister loves the coffee. The food is excellent and usually the service is second to none but I have experienced one person who was a bit out of "the good customer service mood". The most memorable experience I had with them was the day I walked in and needed a tray of assorted pastries and an assortment of bottle water and OJ's. It was all done within minutes and the manager allowed me walk through the establishment as they carried everything to my car in the back of the building. She was also kind enough to provide a container to carry the water and OJ. It was all done with a smile and the greatest customer service display. I frequent there often for the Salmon Cream Cheese bagel. Great food with quick service!“

“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!!“

“Best avocado toast hands down. The sourdough is perfection. Chocolate espresso muffin is to die for. The service is always on point! 💜“

“I work here! So yes, I am biased. The specialty lattes are all very unique and creative flavors, and the prices cannot be beat these days. (No tax, either!) Very small, quaint coffee shop with a calm vibe most days. Note that there is no Wi-Fi.“

“Wonderful local specialty coffee shop in the Parole area. Fabulous array of coffee choices and superb customer service. Highly recommend ☕️😊💕“

“Loved the mural on the wall!“

“Absolutely love the Starbucks inside Target! The caramel macchiato was perfectly made — rich, smooth, and just the right balance of sweetness. It’s my go-to treat while shopping.

The staff here are super friendly and helpful, always greeting you with a smile and making sure your order is just right. Service is quick, even when they’re busy. It’s such a nice little pick-me-up during a Target run!“

“Beautiful little find that really only the locals know so it's only open on the weekends. They serve typical French pastries and breads along with hand-crafted coffees as well. The croissants are some of the best I've had, and they're always made fresh. The hours aren't long, so you'll need to time your visit carefully if you're an out-of-towner.“

“The bowls at Playa Bowl are always a 10/10. Their house made granola is delicious and the employees always pay close attention to detail when preparing the bowls. My order has yet to be incorrect or sloppy. I would definitely recommend giving it a try!“

“Five star rating for the pastries and desserts and breads. I didn’t try any beverages so I can’t speak to those this time. It was a cute little environment. I’m slightly confused by the decor, but not mad at it. There’s a lot to look at and a lot of options so take your time before you choose. I really don’t think you could go wrong as long as you stick to your own flavor profile. I enjoyed a Yuzu cheesecake and a lemoncello cake. Both were incredible.“

“I regularly visit both the café and dining locations, and both have a wonderful ambiance for solo working (reading, studying, etc.), as well as meeting with friends for coffee. Scrumptious and interesting food fare, and truly warm and memorable service. Everyone I’ve interacted with has been lovely, but special mention to Eric, Daniel, and Grant, whose hospitality has been inviting and impeccable every time. Always looking forward to my next visit!“

“We love going to Bean Rush Cafe in Annapolis! Although it’s not as often as we’d like— it’s always a fun time when we do! Great location and delicious food.“

“In contrast to the other Starbucks in the area I think this location takes the cake, the service is wonderful, quality is unparalleled, and the atmosphere is amazing! The employees always make me feel welcome, especially Lily, (Super Enthusiastic Character). Highly encourage you take the extra mile just to go here, it’ll be well worth it!“

“While I was waiting in line, I watched the manager, Ana Hernandez help an elderly deaf woman by communicating to her with sign language, and the woman couldn’t have been more delighted. I was seriously touched, watching this. I’ve held a dim view of the world lately, and this made me question that.“
