50 Best Coffee Shops in Baltimore

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

“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.“

“This cafe was a super pleasant place to enjoy a drink and snack while sitting at the bar. The baristas were friendly and welcoming. The iced matcha was perfect. I had a lavender lemon muffin that was not too lavender flavored- I usually don't like lavender and it was great! Will definitely go back.“

“Still in soft opening until 1/26 but the pastries are delicious, attentive baristas, affordable price points and has a very cozy vibe for coffee dates :)“

“Outstanding coffee and service!

We went out wanting a mid day drink and to pick up some great third-wave beans!

The latte was well balanced with perfect foam!

We asked the baristas who recommended this blend for a funky and unique home experience

The biscotti was fresh with still a good crunch. Both of us remarked how delicious!

It did not disappoint. High quality beans with funky notes.

Perhaps the best feature was the atmosphere: a great spot to do work, catch up with friends, or just have an outstanding coffee.

Looking forward to our next bag!

Brought our newborn and it was a quiet atmostphere!

Street parking is available around the shop and there is also an outdoor patio as well as indoor seating“

“fast, friendly and great customer service!!!!“

“I recently visited this coffee shop and was impressed by the overall experience. The atmosphere was spacious and inviting The place's cleanliness was impeccable, reflecting a commitment to maintaining a pleasant environment and also the staff was super nice. I highly recommend this coffee shop. Coming soon with fam and friends ❤️❤️❤️“

“Catalog is my favorite coffee shop/cafe in Baltimore. I come here at least once a week and I still haven’t tried all the vegan options, simply because they have so many. Catalog outshines other spots in the city. Everything is perfection: the vibe, the staff, the espresso. I could write love songs about their espresso. It’s sublime. Their nitro iced tea and vegan sandwiches are fantastic. Updated from previous review on 2026-01-05“

“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 had the biscuit and sausage gravy—to die for! Every bite was pure comfort. And let me tell you, my caramel macchiato was EVERYTHING—sweet, smooth, and perfectly made. The service? Absolutely outta this world. Friendly, fast, and made me feel right at home. Zeke’s, you’ve got a fan for life!“

“Artifact is a cozy coffeehouse with such a fantastic vibe. It is also a fabulous spot for an intimate wedding reception.“

“Visiting Baltimore for the weekend and stopped by Matriarch coffee.. not only was it the cutest vibes in a tiny green house but the coffee was TO DIE FOR. Ordered a simple hot caramel latte and I must have said “this is amazing” at least 5 times. Would def go out of my way to revisit this cafe!“

“Hella expensive, but worth it, considering the quality (literally the best cappuccino I’ve had in Baltimore, and the finest egg/bacon/cheese this side of Chez Panisse)“

“Great spot, very welcoming environment. Coffee is great, food is perfect for a quick lunch. Cool selection of records which is great to look at and buy while waiting for your order. Go to spot from now on for sure.“

“Best bagel I’ve ever had. Including every spot I’ve been to in NY. Breakfast sandwiches amazing. Biscuits. Vibe is so chill, staff friendly, absolutely love this place“

“Very cute little place. Owner is nice, and yes there is a bird! I didn’t realize there weren’t that many pictures because the parrot is usually perched atop the owner’s shoulder…

Unpretentious, very reasonable prices, charming. Would definitely come back.“

“This is an amazing space. I felt so close to the coffee process. Their cookies are homemade and delicious. The coffee is smooth while offering a rich flavor. They also share the space with Sophomore Coffee who also roasts beans there.“

“Nice atmosphere and great customer service. Highly recommend.“

“Great food and coffee! Staff was very nice. Food and coffee both were very fast. The cafe itself is really pretty and has a nice court yard in the back as well. I got the sausage egg and cheese there and they had many really good bagel options to have it on. I’ll be coming back!“

“Karen is an amazing baker. She saved the day after we were let down for our wedding cake. She delivered a beautiful 3 tiered cake. The flavours were a delicious lemon with lemon curd, vanilla and raspberry and chocolate biscuit cake. All our guests were raving about it. Couldn't recommend her enough 😊💕“

“Perfect place nice service and more the flavors are super🫠🫠🫠🫠“

“Great place to grab a quick and unique breakfast! We stayed at the Hotel Indigo about 10 minutes walking from this cafe. It was convenient, but also made us feel like we were experiencing Baltimore. We had fantastic sliders, an ube croissant, and coffee. The space is cozy and the service was amazing!!“

“So rare to find and fun coffee shop that actually has good coffee. But they totally delivered. I had the turmeric iced latte and it was fantastic. The ambiance was very fine. The bathrooms were squeaky clean. The staff was really just lovely. Parking wasn't bad even though I was a little bit nervous about it. 100% recommend.“

“Beautiful people, atmosphere, hand made gifts, and espresso drinks & teas are at Hon’s Honey Marketplace. There are a few tables and warm window-side seating for those who want to sip and read. I’ll absolutely “bee” back! If you’re not in the area, they often have a table at the Maple Lawn farmers market in Howard County, too! I swear their honey has helped my spring and summer allergies.“

“Large, clean, comfortable cafe. Lots of seating. A cool playlist was on, and it was the perfect volume (you could easily tune it out if you were talking or studying). Their coffee is smooth and delicious and the service was very friendly. The egg and cheese biscuit was a little boring taste-wise, but I saw other people's dishes that looked really good. Can't wait to try something else next time.

Also, they have really cool looking merch“

“Excellent Service and Friendly Staff: "I always have a fantastic experience at this Dunkin'! The staff are incredibly friendly and efficient. They always greet me with a smile and make sure my order is just right. Great customer service!"“

“My favorite tea, ever. And I am VERY picky about my tea. AND it is very difficult to impress me. AND most tea companies do it wrong. But these people do it Wight 👐 I was initially enchanted when gifted Jasmine tea balls and found out the Jasmine I'd been drinking all my life was trash, haha. Wight changed my life. Since then I have tried a few other varieties including their Marquess Grey which went above and beyond and I completely fell head over heels for. Wow. These teas are so FRESH, fragrant, soothing, and they feel the way tea should in your body: relaxed, happy & fulfilled. I was just gifted their Evening Tisane and am equally enthralled with the product. I can't wait to buy more & gift to my friends & family. Everyone I've ever made a cup of tea for with Wight tea has been amazed by the flavor and aroma. Wight does tea right 🫖“

“Reverie coffee is my go to spot for a morning coffee or breakfast sandwich. The staff is so kind and clearly cares about the community, their ingredients are fresh, and the atmosphere is wildly welcoming. I love getting some work done here and chatting with the staff during breaks.“

“I love this place!! Got to enjoy my coffee outside of their cute little patio!!“

“Dasher Cafe is one of my favorite spots right now. It's super modern with a really cool, welcoming vibe. The coffee is top-tier: smooth, rich, and clearly made with care. The staff are friendly, attentive, and genuinely make the experience even better. Alana is one of the best baristas around. Definitely a go-to if you’re looking for chill energy and amazing coffee.“

“My barista, David, was so lovely and welcoming!! I wandered in groggy from time change and sleep and left energized for the day! I tried the espresso and it was great as was my americano with oat milk. 10/10 recommended!!“

“The barista answered all of my questions about the coffee. He also asked about the qualities that I like in my coffee, so that he prepared something that I would enjoy drinking.“

“The salmon is sooooooo GOOD!“

“we went for my friends birthday which also happens to be valentine’s day, just make sure you know the brisket is a mix of beef and pork it is NOT all beef, and it does not clarify atleast it didn’t at the time of our order. we ordered on a tablet originally so there was no way to check but staff eventually helped us out. their coffee beans (espresso) are pretty good, earthy smell when ground but nice flavor. i’d go again just to pick up espresso beans and get tempted into ordering the whole menu!!“

“The best homemade rice pudding I’ve ever had.“

“I’ll be honest, I was both excited and skeptical about trying Wonder when it first opened. The whole concept seemed a little strange to me, and I wasn’t sure how it would actually work. Since they were offering 50% off for first time customers when I went, I figured it was worth a try.

We ordered a pizza from Alanza, a double cheeseburger from Burger Baby, and a Build Your Own Bowl from El Diez. Funny enough, the burger, which was the item I was least excited about based on how it looked, ended up being my favorite. It was honestly one of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time. The pizza was a little overdone, but I actually like my pizza that way, so no complaints there. The bowl was good too, though I felt like it was missing a little something. Maybe some extra lime or cilantro would have given it more of that fresh Mexican flavor.

I’d definitely come back and try some of the other restaurants they have. I also really liked the atmosphere. It was quiet, clean, and didn’t feel chaotic, which was nice. The kitchen area looked especially clean, which always leaves a good impression.

If you’ve been curious about Wonder and are looking to try something different, I’d say it’s worth checking out, especially while they’re offering 50% off for new customers. There’s a huge variety of food options, so it’s easy for everyone in your group to find something they’ll enjoy. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised and left more impressed than I expected to be.“

“Cute little coffee shop that I didn’t even know it existed! Met up with a workout group in front of this coffee shop. A few day later I decided to finally give it a try. It’s super cute inside! Definitely one of those aesthetic coffee shops. I was surprised on how empty it was inside (only 1 additional customer working on her laptops). I expected the place to be busy considering that it’s right across the street from the law school. I ordered the Iced Caramel Macchiato and by far, it is one of the best I’ve ever had!! I didn’t see a food menu and the pastry display was empty. I’ve been back a few times and the drinks keep getting better and better but the lack of traffic has me believing that this new favorite of mine may not make it. The staff is friendly, but can be a bit inattentive when walking in since the place is ghost town and staff is not paying too much attention. Hopefully traffic of picks up soon! This place has potential!!“

“I love this location! The fast, friendly service they provide is hard to find these days. I come every morning and they take the time to remember my name and my coffee with just a little espresso! I am truly a fan and highly recommend it. Come in and see for yourself! ☕️“

“The best pizza in the city!!“

“Incredible!! We got the vodka pizza. Would be tough to beat anywhere. I traveled ~25 minutes in the car and the pizza held up perfectly. No flop, perfect crust, fresh ingredients. 10/10 would recommend. We can’t wait to try the rest of the pizzas!“

“We are in town for the National ProStart Invitational. We brought our students in and the visit was amazing. The products were beautiful and wonderfully made. Each of our students left with something. As someone who works in the industry and has a focus in baking and pastries it is top notch!“

“This is one of the best snowball shops in Baltimore reasonably priced and amazing woman owned and black owned but amazing love the flavors and the seasonal fruit after league this is my go to spot“

“they are doing a very good job with this Coronavirus keeping things clean and wipe. Up“

“This is a cool spot. Feels very vintage and nostalgic because of all the old school collections of toys that adorn the walls throughout. The servers were very friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious as well. I would go back of I am ever in the area.“

“If you want a great cup of coffee, this is it. The owner roasts Ethiopian beans in house and serves the coffee from a French press. The latest cation is in the heart of Locust Point. There’s outdoor seating that is welcoming to anyone who wants to slow down and enjoy the richness of their cup of coffee.“

“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.“

“had sausage egg and cheese bagel from there with tomato🤗😊 it was awesomeness“

“A person wouldn’t necessarily think a regular coffee place could become a little mokom of menucha, but this Starbucks actually ends up being exactly that. Sometimes you just need a quiet spot to sit for a few minutes, grab a coffee, maybe learn a shtikel something, answer some emails, or just take a breather — and this place works surprisingly well for that.
The coffee is solid and consistent, which is really what you want from a place like this. Whether you’re grabbing a hot coffee early in the morning before starting the day or an iced coffee when you’re running around doing errands, it does the job nicely. Nothing fancy, just a reliable cup that wakes you up a little — which sometimes is mamash a necessity.
The seating area is comfortable and spacious, and that’s actually one of the biggest advantages here. You’ll see people sitting with laptops, others just relaxing with a drink, and sometimes someone quietly working or learning. The atmosphere tends to be fairly calm, which makes it a decent place to sit for a few minutes without feeling rushed.
Service is generally quick and efficient, especially when it gets busy. The staff keeps things moving so people can grab their coffee and continue with their day.
Another nice thing is the early opening hours. When a place opens around 5 AM, it’s perfect for early risers who want to grab a coffee before davening, work, or a long day of errands. Sometimes a good coffee that early is practically a chiyuv.
All in all, it’s a reliable, comfortable coffee stop. Nothing overcomplicated — just a good place to sit down, grab a coffee, and recharge for a few minutes before continuing with the day.
If you’re nearby and need a quick caffeine boost or a quiet corner to sit for a bit, this Starbucks does the job just fine.“

“Amazing quality and cool people!“

“This dunkin' donuts was very clean. The staff was very personable. The donuts were amazing they were so fresh I even had some left over the next day and they were still very fresh. I recommend if you're getting your donuts I will go to this dunkin' donuts.“
