There’s no second floor, as one might infer from some commenter’s pictures. 😔 Otherwise, this is a pleasant neighborhood cafe that’s well-positioned across from both Patterson Park and B’More Licks. Seating is limited; it’s mostly counter seating, with one small table for two. This was my first visit. I was the only guest present so I sipped my latte while writing this review and reading the free Baltimore Beat newspaper the cafe offers.

I love everything I've had here! From their unique drinks to their delicious sandwiches! Always hits just right. They're always so kind and welcoming too!

My wife and I stopped in to kill some time before we went to an Os game. Very good coffee. Pretty average pricing.

This place was a letdown. It barely looked open when I showed up, the coffee was lukewarm, and the iced coffee tasted poorly made. Prices are higher than other local spots, yet the hot coffee came in a small cup that was bent and leaked while I walked. Staff hardly communicated, which made the whole visit feel unwelcoming. Definitely not worth it, two stars only because they let you take your dog in.

The coffee is not good, got an iced latte and it was so bad. 7/11 would have better coffee. The shot was pulled in 10 seconds and it wasn’t even freshly ground but scooped out of a bucket. Don’t go, even in a pinch.

Extremely disappointing. Poor service, $5 TINY heated-from-frozen breakfast sandwich, no working restroom

I had a fantastic experience at the Culture Cup Cafe! From the moment I walked in, the owner was incredibly welcoming, and the staff were so friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, making it the perfect spot to relax. I tried the buffalo chicken sandwich, and it was absolutely delicious and very flavorful, packed with the perfect amount of spice. As for the caramel latte, it was hands down one of the best I’ve ever had rich, creamy, and with just the right amount of sweet buttery flavor. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food, drinks, and a warm vibe. I’ll definitely be back soon!

Compare with down the street. Do you want your avocado toast with real avocado and tomato, or generic guac only?
You’re a coffee place right next to Patterson Park. How hard is it to allow dog owners to grab a to go cup when most other coffee places in the US allow the same? Didn’t try it when I saw the sign. I’m not going to drive over to this place just to try the coffee.

*Disappointing Creamy Cold Brew Experience*
I ordered the creamy cold brew, but it came out watery. I asked to have it remade because the taste wasn't right. They remade it, but it still didn't taste good. The barista mentioned that they make their cold brew from concentrate. When I asked for a regular coffee instead, I was told I’d have to pay for it. I then explained that I didn’t want to pay again since I had already spent $7 plus a tip, I just wanted something drinkable so I wouldn't feel like I wasted my money.
I'll will stick with Charmed Kitchen for my cold brew needs :)

I came here awhile ago to study for the bar, and the owner and her staff were so lovely and welcoming. My drink was AWESOME (I got a pineapple iced tea drink). I’m not saying if you come here you’ll automatically pass the bar first try, but I did…so we can’t rule it out. Great addition to our neighborhood!!
