“This is my new favorite place to eat in Ellicott City! First of all the food is incredible. The garlic sauce we ordered as an appetizer alone would have satisfied me but the food just keep getting better. So fresh and so flavorful!! The owner introduced himself and made us feel so welcome. Their story is incredible! The ambiance was absolutely lovely. They had live musicians who were extremely talented and added a tone that was fun and enjoyable but not at all overwhelming or too loud. The service was impeccable. I cannot recommend enough! We will definitely be going back very soon!“

“awesome boba tea..warm vibes“

“After living in Germany for several years, it is fantastic to have this quality of baking and service here in Frederick Maryland.“

“One of the hidden gem bubble tea places around, and it sets itself apart from the generic bbt places with their cheese slush drinks. There is a very generous amount of cheese foam, and although the drinks are a bit more expensive than other places, the quality is much better and the options are interesting. I especially like the Passion fruit cheese slush and the Grape cheese slush!“

“The customer service is excellent. My mocha was delicious. It hit the spot on a cold afternoon. The ambiance inside the café is peaceful and quiet. I will be a repeat customer.“

“Toastique had become a go to spot for a quick / healthy lunch or business meet up“

“Good and not expensive like the food trucks that come around“

“The brunch burger was juicy and perfectly cooked. The peach lemonade was refreshing and balanced. The jambalaya was packed with shrimp and sausage and honestly deserves a permanent spot on the menu.“

“I'm a retired chef from Louisiana but living in Nashville nowadays. I know about eating healthy and I would give this place 2 thumbs up.“

“Cafe Columbia is a cute, colorful little cafe with delicious crepes and friendly service. Recommended.“

“We travel a lot for youth sports and breakfast is our favorite meal. We usually end up going to a different place each morning, but this cafe was delicious that we came right back. The iced coffees were tasty and the breakfast food was solid. They have classics, but then have fun specials too. We did a day of each and both were superb. The service was solid too and I’d highly recommend the place.“

“The pit beef sandwich is excellent and fast service! I’ll be back for more!“

“Outstanding food! We go here over IHOP for breakfast now 😂 It’s better quality food and the people are so so nice! They don’t have a fantastic coffee selection, but they’ve got lots of other yummy drink options. We love coming here and are so glad for a quick, quality breakfast spot in Elkridge!!“

“Decadent is amazing. Everything they have is so good!! And the employees are always so nice and helpful. I don’t think I’ve had anything that I didn’t like!!“

“I hadn't been in the store before. And now I regret that I haven't! The smoothie and the employees were great.I had a dentist appointment today and could not eat solid foods, So I stopped in for a smoothie. The young lady at the counter was extremely kind and helpful and patient with me, because I had no idea what I wanted. She was very helpful and very explanatory.There's a wide variety of different smoothies, fruit and non fruit, but they also serve food. They offer added supplements to their smoothies, such as energy boost, B12, probiotics, multivitamin, vital proteins collagen and the list goes on...I went in thinking I was going to get a fruit smoothie because I didn't think I would like something with peanut butter or oats or chia seed, but I left with the,Chia Banana Boost-banana, chia seeds, almonds, whole-grain oats, cinnamon, dates & coconut with choice of peanut butter or strawberries.And it was effing delicious! It was honestly one of the best smoothies I've ever had.I am recommending this place to you...

“Explore Maryland - Eggspectation Owings Mills

Eggspectation in Owings Mills is a popular, upscale casual dining spot located in the Metro Centre at Owings Mills. It is highly regarded for its expansive, all-day menu featuring elevated breakfast and brunch staples alongside comforting lunch and dinner dishes.“

“Atwater's is my favorite place for many reasons. Comfortable community atmosphere, enjoyable food and drink, and great staff. In 6 years I've seen Atwater's with a great track record for hiring and training members of its team. But I'd like to credit two in particular today. Joey, the new manager settled into his role quickly just this year and is very engaging, friendly, and happy to help customers directly alongside his team. Alyssa is another fantastic worker and leader in the team. Always paying attention and focused on keeping everything in order and working efficiently. The whole team performs well. But she routinely performs above the standard.“

“Park Avenue Cafe is a great spot for a quick and tasty breakfast or lunch. The food is well-prepared, the service is friendly, and the prices are affordable. Try their Shrimp Salad sandwich! Highly recommended for a satisfying and budget-friendly meal.“

“my husband and I went there on May 24th and you had to go to the register and place your own order and pay prior to receiving your food. needless to say we did not leave a tip at that point. we both ordered the cream chipped beef with toast and my husband also ordered the sausage gravy with biscuits. not sure what kind of herbs they put in the cream chip beef but it was not very good at all plus they also added so much pepper it was almost inedible we ate what we could and left promptly afterwards needless to say we will probably not be going back for a while maybe they can get things right but that was the worst breakfast I have had in such a long time and I was very disappointed I almost think that they did it that way because we did not leave a tip.“

“We came in on a whim & so glad we did. We were seated immediately & greeted warmly by an amazing waitress. Food was brought out quickly & was such a good serving size. Delicious eggs Benedict & the hollindaise was amazing! My fiancé had the biscuits & gravy & was so happy with his food. Excellent portions & such a wonderful place. Can’t wait to come back again!! Highly recommend!!“

“Awesome place with the best breakfast and lunch food around!!“

“Best food on campus, breakfast and lunch. Pre-made breakfast burritos are toasty, warm, and ENORMOUS. Not for the faint of heart (me) unless you want to be sent into a food coma (which I was) and sleep through your afternoon class (worth it). Don't even get me started on the sandwiches at lunch. I get an egg salad sandwich (hummus if they're out of egg salad) on toasted rye with all the fixings -- and I mean ALL of them. You can get a mile-high stacker that's caving in on itself for a single meal swipe here. What do you get at Chick-fil-a? A single piece of chicken on soggy bread. The service here at the Coffee Shop is amazing, too. Workers are super nice and fun to chat with. If you've just finished working out at the RAC, swing in here to cancel out all those calories you burned because you earned it, champ.

Vegetarian options: Good stuff“

“Excelente servicio Agradable atención Ideal para hir con la familia“

“me encanto el sándwich y la sopa y el personal muy amable“

“Really wished this business would open again. It provided a great community service to the business park. Best food! Best prices! Best staffing of peoples with disabilities delivering phenomenal service and quality food. Please open again! I miss the fried chicken most of all!“

“Great experience at Croustille Café! The omelettes were delicious, and the avocado croissant was fresh and amazing. Special shoutout to the girl with the pink hair she provided fantastic service and made us feel very welcome. Will definitely be back! 🥐🍳“

“Came for a delivery 9 am appt in a door and out in 30 mins. Was a partial load and no other trucks attempting deliveries. But I did overnight with no issue.

Blue circle was a couple spots open at night to back into.

Red circle For Panera check in is in corner of building no signs. Just a door with a doorbell. The other company that operates out the same building check in is in front of building.

Four stars because no real signage and didn’t see a bathroom. I pulled into left side coming off the road but makes sense to pull into the right side that way you don’t have to turn around once in the back but if you over night well you’ll have to spin the truck around anyways.“

“Actually it was the gentile half of the hospital cafe. I was impressed with the selection and quality. Hot, tasty food done pretty quick. And the price was right. I had a Cuban sandwich and my wife had a delicious looking salad she made herself. The dining area was roomy and filled with natural light.“

“That have wonderful sandwiches!!! Everything is fresh and so delicious. l low their rare roast beef and their Friday salmon sandwich special.. Their breakfast sandwiches are always a great way to begin the day!“

“When all other restaurants are closed on campus you can come to the Barnes and Noble store and get Starbuck's coffee and fair. Note- they only take Barnes and Noble gift cards, not Starbucks. In the common area area just outside the glass doors“

“happy customer“

“I used to get food from their Charter Drive location all the time, and when it closed I was so disappointed , until I found them again at Lakeside Deli! I’m so happy I can start my day with their breakfast again. They even know my order as soon as I call in, which makes it feel so personal. The food is always great, and the team is incredibly friendly. So glad I found them again! So convenient also!“
