Nothing like great coffee and great food. Also a wonderful spot that reminds you of those old school coffee shops. I would say.Definitely try the chicken salad as well

Ordered 2 Italian cream sodas and a hot chocolate. Hot chocolate was barely warm, and the raspberry cream sodas tased like soda water and half and half. They were pink but no raspberry flavor could be tasted, they were not sweet at all.
Hey friends! This review is about sustainability only. 🙂
By 2050, there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. And over 95% of the plastic that we use does not actually get recycled.
For an awesome, local coffee purveyor in a waterfront city, it made me feel sad to see the sheer amount of single use plastic cups getting used by diners coming to stay and enjoy the space.
It does seem that you offer real, reusable mugs. That makes me really grateful. But it does not seem that anyone knows to ask for them.
I wonder if there are some simple ways you can better promote the reusable option to your customers, so that they have more choice in not polluting our precious planet and our precious ecosystems here in Baltimore.
Perhaps that means putting up a sign by the register, encouraging people to order their drink to stay. Or having your barista explicitly ask. Perhaps it means posting something on your social media, communicating that you have reusable mugs as options. You could also encourage people to bring their own mugs if they are walking over from within the neighborhood.
But it seems absurd to create so much plastic waste in one sitting on one morning of just one weekend.
Thank you for considering some simple ways to ensure we pollute this planet just a little bit less. People do want better options, and it seems that you have some simple fixes available to you now.
And to any customers reading this, you can bring your own mug to use, or you can ask for one for here, if you do not want to create trash that will go straight to the landfill, ocean, or incinerator.

Zeke’s has been a reliable coffee spot for years, and as someone who grew up in the neighborhood back when it was just a little roaster operation next to Safeway, it’s been really great to see them grow.
The coffee is solid and the staff is always warm and friendly — no complaints there.
That said, I have to be honest: the breakfast sandwiches need serious help. I’ve tried the classic egg, meat, and cheese on a bagel a few times over the years- I’ve even tried the vegan version, and unfortunately, the issues have stayed the same — underwhelming bread, not toasted, often oily, and overall not the satisfying breakfast experience you’d hope for. I’m not sure where they source their bagels, but they’re not great, and they’re not doing the sandwich any favors.
It’s a bit of a bummer, because I want to be able to grab both a coffee and a breakfast sandwich here, but I usually end up skipping the food altogether. I’ve also heard similar feedback from others, so it seems to be a common issue.
With better bread — or even just toasting and assembling it differently — this could be a totally different story. Maybe a bakery partnership or some tweaks in the prep process could turn it around.
Still rooting for Zeke’s. Just... not ordering the sandwich.

The food is OK, but the coffee is the BEST. I usually buy coffee here by the pound, and our favorite is Little Italy Roast.

Good coffee. Avoid the pastries. They looks good but they taste like they were frozen. Nice community place.
Very slow but everything good
