Café Los Sueños

Small traditional coffee place. Great quality of coffee and most importantly how the owner carefully crafts the drinks he prepares. Absolutely amazing his attention to detail and how consistent the presentation is.
Hopefully all the baristas appreciate the owners dedication and imitate his precision making drinks.

Some of the best coffee in Baltimore. A hidden gem.

One of the best coffee shops in Baltimore! The coffee is top notch and the seasonal drinks are super well-done. This is a no-frills place with great execution of its menu!

Also, there’s a great origin story to the shop so if you’re ever in with the founder there be sure to ask about it!

Kinda small space inside so not a super great study spot for peak busy hours, but the coffee is definitely worth a stop in for!

Amazing pour over. Thank you!

I’ve been somewhat of a regular here for almost two years now. I love the staff, the owner is so kind, and the coffee is easily the best I’ve had. I like to try out different coffee shops in the city as a hobby and out of all of the local coffee shops I’ve tried the taste and service here can’t be beat.

The staff and owner has done a wonderful job creating a welcoming atmosphere here. I'm not a coffee drinker, but I very much enjoy their teas (had a great matcha the other day) and pastries! Would definitely recommend.

Our first visit to Café Los Sueños was truly memorable. After reading the café’s glowing reviews, my husband and I decided to visit as a way to unplug from technology, relax, and enjoy our favorite books; and we couldn’t have made a better choice.

From the moment we walked in, Carlos, the owner, greeted us with such warmth and kindness. We had a friendly conversation with him both at the beginning and throughout our time there, which added such a personal touch to the experience. We ordered a Horchata latte with oat milk and an Ethiopian coffee and both were absolutely delicious.

But what truly stood out was the atmosphere that Carlos and his wife have created. It’s more than just a coffee shop… it’s a beautiful little community. Almost everyone who walked in seemed to know Carlos, and there were heartfelt, lively conversations happening all around. It felt like a safe space to share and connect; a rare and precious thing in today’s fast-paced world.

We will absolutely be returning to Café Los Sueños to disconnect and recharge. And if you visit, be sure to ask Carlos about the story behind the T-shirt framed on the wall. ;)
The story is just as heartwarming as Carlos himself, who makes every single person feel welcome.

If you walk in and see the woman, walk out immediately. She doesn’t like people and doesn’t want to serve you coffee. I Asked for 2 pour overs with oatmilk. I got two coffees that sat out way too long in a pot that looked like something used on a desert station at a banquet hall with whole milk. I saw her pouring the whole milk but she was so hostile I didn’t feel like getting chewed out for correcting her. I’m lactose intolerant but I needed caffeine bad so I paid the price later on that morning. Pastries were aggressively thrown in a bag and my Muffin although delicious was all crumbles at the bottom of a paper bag. I’ve heard amazing things about the place so I would come back to see the gentleman everyone speaks so highly of. If she is there, I’d probably walk out. Not worth all the attitude.

Best coffee beans in Baltimore and it's not even close.

Coffee’s delicious, pastries scrumptious, staff is friendly. It’s a gem.
