Had an herb burger and sweet potato cheesecake. The service and atmosphere was fantastic. Would highly recommend visiting for a nice, relaxing moment.The Friday events seem too good to pass up. Enjoy!

Saturday, August 27 at 8:22 AM — I walked in and the girl didn’t even look at me, dismissive since I stepped in. She was paying too much attention to her phone to even answer my questions. Very disappointed since it has such a good rating, I was looking forward to trying any of their drinks but this girl is a mood killer. Customer service is lacking here.

I met a friend at this bright, energetic and welcoming space for lunch and I was very impressed with the food, and overall atmosphere. I look forward to coming back

They need to just close or just offer a drink menu. On my last visit, there was only one food option which was a cold and stale banana bread. The person behind the counter stated that she couldn't warm it. It was so bad that I eventually threw it away. The coffee was okay but a waste of time.

Did not receive friendly or helpful service, the person behind the counter barely acknowledged us. They do not serve food anymore, very limited drink menu and a few (6) pastries. Not worth driving to. I posted their full menu. Ended up just getting a drink and leaving.

Went for coffee left with coffee and upside down cake. To die for. Love the brew they have and prices are friendly. Parking was easy on a rainy day. Love the staff. If you want to support a good coffee shop that hires locals then you are in the right place.

I'm so glad we stopped here during a visit to Baltimore. After a busy morning, we needed a pick-me-up and headed over. Luckily, there wasn't a long line and we were able to put in orders for coffee. They were out of chai tea which was a bummer, but we ordered a regular coffee and a latte. While we waited, we took a look around the store at the different juices and spices they offer. It was cool that they sell some stuff like a corner store along with the coffee and baked goods. The cafe itself is really nice and would be a great place to work or hang out. The service was great and they checked on us while we waited. Also, our coffees were really good. I would go back for sure!

I loved the iced chai latte. Unfortunately, they were out of several items and/or some items are only available on certain days. For example, one of the milk selections was out of stock as well as some of the flavored syrups. Only 2 bakery items were available at around 11:30am. The cafe is cute and the area is nice as well. The only main issue we encountered was that music was way too loud to hear the barista. On several occasions I had to ask her to repeat herself. She either needs to project her voice louder or turn down the music volume. She was not particularly friendly but was not rude either as my mom requested more milk for her coffee. Another women came in and asked how we were doing. I don't know her role at the business but she seemed more customer serviced oriented than the young lady at the counter. I don't think the AC was working but I was ok with that. They had a fan going and there is also outdoor seating. Great decor. Good vibes. Reasonable prices.

I am new to the Baltimore area, and I am a fiend for craft coffee. My partner and I came to this spot after a bad experience somewhere else and this place has me beaming.The space: there’s a cute lil market with lots of fresh produce. There’s plenty of seating outside and clearly a venue space, surrounded by greenery and raised garden beds. Also cozy lil nooks indoors to sit as well.The food: Nae took care of us and made us the most delicious mochas (they sprinkle tiny marshmallows on top, which I discovered is pretty delightful). They have a bomb pastry display with a robust variety and we got to meet the baker-we tried a warm lemon scone and it was moist, flavorful, and filling (good portion sizes here).They also have grab n go food that they make fresh daily (nabbed some baked mac n cheese because it seriously looks just like my grandmas).Community: this place organizes fresh produce donations and volunteering around the holidays (which includes Juneteenth, so check them out soon!!). We are looking forward to plugging in and supporting ??

Amazing spot with lovely people working/running it. Great food and coffee, with a cute outdoor seating area that seems like it’s also a venue. Major plus for me is that the folks behind the counter are working to help the community with access to healthy food. Not been in Baltimore long so I can’t speak to what the impact of those efforts are, but it certainly seems like an amazing place with amazing people and amazing food!

Set in the heart of reservoir Hill, this hidden gem has a mecca of vegan food options, groceries herbs, and other delectable items. I came to try the chickpea tuna. It had the texture of real tuna. But there was no animal flesh at all... . So I was shocked that it was very tasty. Wrapped in organic mix greens and tomatoes, first bite was pure happiness. The onions gave the tuna a real pop. There is nothing like fresh toppings on a sandwich... no bruise marks just put freshness. In addition, to a variety of vegan food choices which includes, vegan Mac and cheese, chef green fried oyster mushroom sandwich, fried oyster mushroom salad, lentil wrap, and the non- pizza. There is a grocery section with various items. Also there are non vegan dessert options which include ( but not limited to) pound cake. What really caught my attention was the wine they sell. Various Prosecco's, white abs red wines as well. You can literally make a mimosa right there for under 33$ and sit out side and drink it in a nice day. They provide the carafe. Like I would come there just to do that. You get about 1.5 carafe worth once you add the oj. You can't beat that. The outside seating area is very spacious and well lit. This is a really hidden space with a lot of nice items. Come down and have a carafe of mimosa and check it out. I'm definitely coming back for more.

Peach turnover and salmon /shrimp sandwich was delicious. Local business known for their peach turnover pie.

I was in town from Atlanta and I wanted to find a nice place to work remotely. I came across the cafe from Yelp and Google Reviews. I arrived around 10am and didn't leave to close to 4pm! I got so much work done. People in the community was coming in supporting. I was able to meet the store manager who is awesome as well as the chef and the baker!! This place reminded me of my childhood because of how community centric they are. The food is awesome too! Try the mushroom burger and the peach upside cake! You will not be disappointed!! I am so happy I came across this gem and when I come back to visit, this will be my first stop.
