Great little coffee shop with friendly staff and decadent pastries that you could order. The coffee was fleshly brewed and the pastries could be ordered sweet or savory. It is dog friendly as well.

Good drinks but an older shop that needs to be updated with seating, lighting and outlet stations.
Also, outdoor seating would be a nicer feature.
The couch in the coffee shop has been there for over 9 years.
People in Baltimore deserve better.
Its a dingy looking coffee shop with good coffee.

Decent-ish? The ambience is nice but it's quite dirty. If you have a keen eye, you can see mice run along the floor at night with people in the cafe! The disposable cups and 'Starbucks' model it tries to emulate just fails. Just be a clean cafe with ceramic ware. The to-go option being the default is absurd. It's all we want.

Horrible place I went there this past Friday with my brother there was no customers there I asked to use the bathroom was told the bathroom PIN code was changed and the employee was waiting on a response for the updated code I asked again 20 mins later for the code was told the owner was sleeping I asked the employee to call the owner the employee was busy on Snapchat on her phone and was just told lies over and over not to mention I paid for $16 for food and drinks my opinion this is very unprofessional you don’t treat clients like this will not return

Interesting quiet and dimmed atmosphere, wasn’t something I was expecting lol
The Bun Shop has a unique atmosphere that feels like a blend of Edgar Allan Poe and industrial chic—dark, moody, and a little mysterious, yet still cozy in its own way. It’s the kind of place where people gather to chat, read, or work quietly on laptops. There’s plenty of seating, and the fact that they’re open until 3 AM makes it an incredible spot for late-night studying or working when everywhere else is closed.
They offer a variety of coffee and tea drinks (menu photos attached), but I came specifically to try the buns. I visited after dinner and there were eight bun options still available. I asked about sweet ones, and they let me know the Apple Turnover and the Roti Boy were the only sweet(ish) ones left. I went with their signature Roti Boy, which was a soft, buttery bun topped with a light espresso-flavored craquelin. It wasn’t overly sweet—not quite a dessert bun, but enjoyable if you’re into more subtle flavors. (A coffee-flavored cream-filled version would be a good option.) The bun was a little under $5 with tax.
The savory buns mostly contained meat, so they’re not particularly vegetarian- or vegan-friendly based on what was available when I visited. That said, I’d be curious to come back during the day to see if there are more options, especially for those with dietary preferences.
The staff was helpful and patient when answering questions about the menu. Overall, The Bun Shop is a cool, quiet, and distinctive place—perfect for a late-night bite or a long study session with some ambiance.

Cool spot to hang.
Bad coffee though and at the end of the day it’s a coffee shop 😂
*I drink coffee black so perhaps it’s bearable with milk and cream and sugar and the likes.
