50 Best Cafes near Arbutus

“just shared an amazing delicious lunch at this adorable cafe!! vegetarian lasagna and turkey meatball sub with the best handout fries!!! Definitely worth a visit!“

“Tasty coffee and food items, the best bagels! Friendly and helpful baristas, chill vibe, & local-focused. Enjoy coming here as often as I can!“

“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.“

“Options galore. The seitan chicken is worth a try and I typically get the vegan chicken caesar wrap that fills me up and gives me energy for the gym. The vegan shakes with taharka bros ice cream hit the sweet cravings too. Love that they bring in the vegan donuts from Vegan Treats PA as well.“

“Cute little spot (little being the key word). Drinks were great, I got a cocktail and my friend got the cappuccino. The coffee was one of the best she has had and my cocktail was nice. The food was delicious, they specialize in biscuits and you definitely have to try them. The table next to us got the monkey bread and it looked to die for, will definitely be ordering that next time. Service was a little slow but I think that had to do with the layout of the space and how new the place is. They are still trying to figure out their groove.

Parking: You need to be able to parallel park to drive here.“

“Usually have to get here early to get your hands on a pastry so was delighted to pull it off. Coffee is Ceremony, so that was yummy. The pastries are always interesting combinations of flavors I would never normally think of so their menu is always fun to look over.

Had a s’mores cookie on the spot and a crepe brûlée tart for later. Both were delicious! Tried The crab sando too; I wish had a little more of the sandwich filling to balance the bread but was still tasty.“

“I went for the first time over the weekend. The place was so clean and the employees were very friendly! I loved the options that I got to pick from that day! The store is great and I will be going back as soon as possible!“

“Food was great, service was fast, and lots of gluten free options! We will def be back!! Thanks!“

“My husband and I made a wrong turn a few weeks back and happened to see this place called blendabowl. The following wk we decided to try them out and we are completely addicted!! The quality in the taste and freshness of the bowl we get exceeded our expectations. We get blue crush with shaved almonds granola blueberries bananas and Nutella def a must try😋 The place is always clean and the staff is excellent as well as management!! Enrique definitely runs a great establishment and if you have never tried blendabowl you are missing out. We have been every day they are open since the 1st time (literally) and continue to do so☺ Mikie&Lisa“

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

“Randomly ordered this morning through DoorDash, and I found this place. what a gem. The food was absolutely amazing and super quick delivery into the city. sandwiches were still hot and gooey. So thankful they are not right down the street for me as I would probably give them all my money. keep up the good work.“

“This place is amazing. Their empanadas are absolutely the best in Maryland. Their Dominican steak bowl is AMAZING. The Korean bbq steak bowl… AMAZING!! My only complaint is their steak sub. While it was TOTALLY delicious, it was very small for $12. It was sooo good I wanted more.“

“Been going to Sweet 27 for probably 12 years. My grandson is 6, this is his favorite spot. Friendly staff and great food.“

“beautiful space, delicious eats, i love that you can get coffee or alcohol, depending on your mood“

“such an amazing experience, some dishes are served in a tea pot, tea and dessert are amazing. One of my favorite places to order food from and to dine in person. My favorite afghan spot in the city! they also sell rugs and tea sets which adds to the atmosphere“

“Great chicken salad sandwich! One sandwich was enough for two meals, thanks and keep up the great work!“

“Spoons is hands-down one of the best breakfast spots in Federal Hill — maybe in all of Baltimore. From the moment you walk through the door, the warm, cozy vibe hits you, and you know you’re in for something special. It’s got that perfect neighborhood café energy where you feel welcomed whether you’re a regular or a first-time visitor.
The coffee is absolutely top-notch — bold, smooth, and locally roasted. You can tell they take it seriously here. And the menu? A total dream for breakfast and brunch lovers. My hubby always orders the 2-2-2 and I get the Eggs Benedict. They are always on point. The Breakfast Burrito and Crab Benedict are also winners, packed with flavor and fresh ingredients.
What really sets Spoons apart is the service. The staff is consistently friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely happy to be there. Even when it’s packed (which it often is), they keep things moving with ease and a smile.
Whether you’re a local or just passing through Federal Hill, do yourself a favor and make time for breakfast at Spoons. It’s the kind of place you’ll want to come back to again and again — and bring your friends along next time.“

“Everything is fantastic! From breakfast sandwiches (and plates) to lunch specials. The food tastes great, you are usually in and out very quickly, and they have fantastic memories and will greet you by name. I ended up with Covid, my last day of work was Nov 17th, and I did not come back until Jan 4th. They still remembered my order! "I" didn't even remember it!!! Always excellent. Highly recommend.“

“My son and I went to Georgia Grace for breakfast. The food was exceptional, but what stood out the most was the excellent service and going above and beyond mentality of the owner and staff. My son wanted lemonade and was upset because they only had frozen lemonade. The owner overheard us, went behind the bar, made him a fresh lemonade, brought it to him, and didn’t even charge us for it. What an amazing gesture toward a 6 year old and us as customers. We will always remember that.“

“The blackened salmon over fried grits was nothing short of spectacular.... cooked and seasoned to gourmet perfection amid an out-of-this-world cream sauce. To think I had the nerve to top it all off with this creatively flavorful mimosa was next-level. Check it out for yourself! #pigtown“

“Our Story
We are two young married entrepreneurs (Charles & Kristian Miller) striving to make ourselves unique by perfecting our craft and honing our talent while still willing to be taught. Myself having 7 years in of executive chef experience and running and operation of brick and motor with my spouse. I believe that we can benefit each other greatly when it comes to this due to the different intangibles that we both bring to the table in creating this partnership. We have what it takes, we are young , fresh, hot, and our brand speaks volumes. In addition to this our menu is unique, fun , and tasteful.
We have survived many tragedies in these past 9 years. Mentally, physically and emotionally. Together, we've experienced riots, snowmageddon, heatwaves, Covid-19’s health pandemic. On top of experiencing a devastating electrical fire that wiped out our entire business on 13,September 2021. We remain resistant. We remain a part of our community as one. we are part of what makes… Baltimore STRONG.

Dietary restrictions: Not sure

Parking: Catch the Subway with friends to Lexington Market stop.

Wheelchair accessibility: Not sure. Will check for the elevators next time.“

“Amazing bagel sandwich with crisp bacon and a perfectly cooked egg with a jammy yolk. Iced coffee was fine but unmemorable. S’mores cookie is a 10/10. One star knocked off because it’s very a cramped space and layout, but understood given the building.“

“A huge thank you to the folks at One World Cafe for coming to the Hopkins football tailgate crepe tent rescue. We discovered post game when it was time to start cooking for the team that we left our cooler of eggs and milk on the 7th floor of the Marriott parking garage. We had all the toppings but no crepe ingredients! Remembering all the great breakfasts I have had at One World (as a regular customer we have always received stellar service and food) I dashed across the street to see if they could spare some eggs and milk. Everyone was so friendly and kind and happy to help and saved the day with 8 eggs and a gallon of milk! Thank you so very much. Your kindness was much appreciated and helped our team celebrate our win! 5 stars for quality service and kindness and generosity as a bonus!“

“A must visit
The ambiance is amazing and it is located in a fantastic space and place.

The Jerk Chicken and Waffles and Jerk Chicken Sandwich are must orders.

Please understand that your food is made to order and served fresh. Which means add in time that this is pre-made food and sitting under a warm lamp. The kitchen makes the orders as they are ordered.“

“I have been enjoying snowball from here for over 20 years!! I love the ice cream mixed with my snowball. The staff is always friendly and I am never disappointed!!! I’m happy I get to share my love for snowballs with my kids 💜“

“When we lived in Maryland I bought all of our coffee from High Grounds. I have now moved to Georgia and wouldn't consider changing my coffee source. The main reason that one would go to a coffee roaster for the 2nd, 3rd or 99th time would be for the quality of the coffee, and any one who would rate High Grounds less than 5 star“

“I come here fairly frequently for breakfast and the food is always great. A little greasy sometimes but that’s no big deal since it’s so tasty and you can always just dab it with a napkin. Their cold brew is straight up the best I’ve had in the city. Something worth noting - the wait can be a little long during lunch time so I recommend ordering ahead.“

“Went by today for the first time and the employees could not have been nicer or more informative. They took their time to describe the different teas they had available and made recommendations based on my taste. The tea was delicious and service outstanding. It’s great to have this new small business in the area.“

“If you have celiac disease, you can feel safe eating here. A manager will come and talk to you and communicate your allergies and concerns with a chef so you can get what you want. Im usually just concerned with gluten and tree nuts, but they will take anything you have into consideration. And the GF bread options for their sandwiches are awesome. AND and, the hash browns and grits are GF! That's rare.“

“Amazing food here! I was truly shocked by the blast of flavors my meal had in it. I forgot the name of the food I ordered, but it was an omelet with some chicken tenders inside with something yummy on top (I also forgot what it was LOL) with grits on the side. I didn't know the side was going to be extremely small, but it was delicious at least. I'd say the size if the omelet and the taste it had in it made up for it since it's the main dish. The maple- i think bourbon sausage was also tasty!! Ai Would definitely recommend giving it a try here just to try!“

“Had the best experience yesterday for Mother’s Day! Excellent service, food and decor! Highly recommend“

“The food here is awesome! They have a great everyday menu and their daily specials are always a knockout. Their bulgogi sandwich on Thursday is stunning. The staff is very friendly. I strongly recommend them if you’re looking for a good lunch spot.“

“Good place to stop by whenever I'm in town“

“The lemonade is so delicious. This place is so cute and cozy. I recommend this place“

“This is the best breakfast and lunch spot in the city, hands down. The food is always perfectly prepared, the menu has exactly what you'd want. The prices are really low for being in the middle of the city, and for the quality of the food it cannot be beat. The deli selection is always fresh, the portions are great, and the vibe is low key and makes you feel like family.

The proprietor and her son run the whole place themselves, every day of the week. It's a prime example of small business at its finest, and deserves your attention. An absolute gem of an eatery - you owe it to yourself to check it out!“

“Best catfish and Mac and cheese I have had in years. Very friendly service“

“Cute local cafe to bring your laptop to work on

Inside was really cute and modern at the same time. I think it is connected to the hotel so it was really clean and nice.

The cafe was really cute. Relatively small (max 30 ppl). I ordered strawberry matcha latte but it was different from what I had before from other store. I didnt see strawberry but i tasted strawberry which was very confusing to me.

My friend said cold brew was quite strong like she wanted the ice to melt for dilution.

I recommend if you are nearby here. Idk if I want to come here for the matcha latte but I will try different drinks with food next time.“

“Coffee and food t amazing! best/only espresso/coffee shop in the inner harbor. if they updated their dining area it would be perfect. the black and blue breakfast sandwich with bacon, blue cheese, and all kinds of yumminess is a must-try for carnivorous.“

“The food was incredibly yummy and the service was fantastic. My son and I ate lunch and had some delicious drinks to go along with it. They have a diverse menu with lots of options. Highly recommend!“

“Because I was in a big big hurry, the Guy behind suggested a list of items that will be quicker to make. I chose Pork Buns. Omg. They r really good. If you’re on the run as much as I am, great food to get“

“The best cold brew ice coffee (literally the standard I compare all other iced coffee to). Cosy neighborhood coffee shop with a friendly owner who knows his coffee! Also fresh made froyo (my favorite is Nutella froyo)“

“1:39 4 ..ll 5G§ 83 < Reviews Koba Café First coffee shop of 2023! Koba is a cozy shop on the corner. The young lady at the counter was friendly. She was familiar with the two customers in front of me. It definitely had a neighborhood friendly vibe. The shop was busy. Most of the tables on the first floor were taken up when I was there. Be sure to take a stroll up the stairs. At the top of the stairs was an adorable little spot for two people to sit and chat. The second floor has a great little area to sit and ready or study. The top floor was full of light. I ordered my usual cortado. It was a solid drink. The cortado wasn't bad but it also wasn't anything spectacular to write home about.“

“Ordered carryout for a birthday party at a local venue and coordination was so easy. Food was great and ready on time and I felt really well taken care of! Even though some items I wanted weren't on the brunch menu they let me order in advance and go off-menu. Highly recommend!“

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

“Good Afternoon,
I am in town on business and came (AGAIN) for another delicious item on the menu. EVERY time I come here, I enjoy the food. The wait time is a little frustrating but i can see why....the place is popular!! We also had our same waiter...Sumir. Amazing, he recognizes us (me and my husband) too! :)“

“Pizza was great, didn’t love that you could only order online and it was a minimum 1.5 hour wait. I thought maybe they were busy but I showed up early hoping it would be done and it was empty and cashier told me pizza guy had to step out … lol what? Not great first impression.“

“The owners were extremely nice. This was my first time here so asked what they recommended. They recommended the Russian sandwich. To say it taste amazing would not do it justice. Best sandwich I've ever had. I will definitely be returning..“

“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!“

“Stopped here for breakfast, food was good!“

“The food & service was excellent! My son LOVED the hot honey chicken sandwich. It actually made him dance lol! I got the vegetable soup to go for my dad & he absolutely loved it. Now he wants me to go back & buy as much as they're willing to sell me. The drinks & desserts were great too! If you're looking for a cute little breakfast or lunch place, I highly recommend. And if you like hot honey chicken, you have to try it!“
