My favorite local coffee shop in Baltimore. I love everything and my friends knows me so well they know how to make my iced lattes or matcha.

One of the best bakeries I’ve ever been to. The line might seem a bit intimidating, but trust me, it’s worth it. There’s a line for a reason. Not only do they have some of the most fun specialty drinks I’ve seen (sipping on a Fig Chai Fog right now), but the food is orgasmic. This morning, My boyfriend got us a bunch of things to split, including the breakfast sando. The fact he even gave me half of this is commendable. If I tried it first, just like he did, I would have hidden the rest for myself because there’s no way would I share it. It is the best breakfast sandwich I’ve ever had. The chipotle pepper jelly makes me want to do cartwheels. I also highly recommend the crab dip bagel, but really anything you get will be amazing. Always the best service too! Super sweet workers. If I was nonstop customer facing I don’t know if I would have a smile on my face like they do. Bravo!

Easily the best bakery in Baltimore. This place just tickles my fancy every time. With each bite my taste buds jump for joy and I fight the urge to let out a guttural moan of pure ecstasy. Their stuff is straight up orgasmic. Tamago sandwich, crab dip sandwich, breakfast sandwich, the croissants, scones, and more. Let’s not forget the delicious season drinks. 10/10. Only thing I dislike is how long the lines can get because everyone wants a piece of those sweet treats for the soul.

Café Dear Leon is the best pastry bakery in Baltimore. I went several times during my visit and had to talk myself out of going more. Tried quite a few of their pastries and while you cannot go wrong, here are a few of my favorites: - Chausson aux Pommes: Perfectly balanced, apples make it feel like a sweet treat without the imbalance of guilt. - Vanilla Maritozzo: A bit more indulgent but a great option to share - Almond Croissant: Not everyone's thing, but this was an excellent rendition of an almond croissant. Not overly sweet or fake almond flavory - which is surprisingly difficult to find in the states - Egg Tamago Sando: If you like egg salad sandos, you have to give this a try. Best egg salad sandwich I've ever had. Well balanced egg salad with spring onions that add texture and a nice refreshing bite.

There was no line. They close at 3pm. I arrived at 12:30 and they were out of all food… weird. They didn’t even have Crossiants. Then they rang me up for a chai latte and it was $8… way overpriced for Baltimore tbh. Would not waste my time coming here again.
I've heard others rave about here, so I had to check it out, and it was definitely worth the stop. Friendly staff and delicious food. Make sure to check the time based menu. Only outdoor seating and the restroom is upstairs.

This morning’s Crab Dip Bagel was amazing — I’m still thinking about it. If you get the chance, try the bagel it’s definitely worth it!
