40 Best Cafes near Cockeysville

“Went to Ashland Cafe last Saturday night... The food was great the band was great but our waitress was exceptional...Becca went above and beyond with her service.... She needs a raise... Well definitely be back!!!“

“Amazing coffee and pastries!!!!“

“As Delis go, this is a solid choice. They have been in business for 10 years and made it through the Pandemic, so that should testify to their ability to keep their clients coming back. Serving breakfast and lunch, they have a traditional menu, but the sandwiches are super sized, Soups are good, haven't tried the salads.“

“The food was excellent - we highly recommend the Julia salad and the gluten free pizza crust was amazing. The rest of our party got pasta - I also recommend the Capallini Lula. Our server was Andrew R and he was great - he made great recommendations - getting a Julia salad for the table to share - and knew the menu!“

“While shopping yesterday.“

“Ordered delivery but was missing a sandwich. Pleasantly surprised that after calling and explaining situation, the manager was super kind and offered quick resolution. Thank you for your kindness and willingness to resolve. It goes along way these days.“

“Best chicken salad sandwich on sour dough bread I ever had.“

“Randomly driving through Timonium on our way back to PA we were looking for food. Fuentes showed with good reviews and we stopped. Now once a month (sometimes more) we drive an hour back to Timonium for amazing food. We’ve even brought family down here. The italian food is plentiful and tasty but the fish and shrimp tacos are our favorite. A lovely couple owns the place and they cook all the food and they’ve always been kind to us. We hope to come here for many more years.“

“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.“

“What a lovely, friendly and delicious afternoon! The place looks beautiful, the tea divine and the food spectacular! Thank you for the fun experience!! All should go!“

“I'm a retired chef from Louisiana but living in Nashville nowadays. I know about eating healthy and I would give this place 2 thumbs up.“

“I have been a Dough Run “regular” since shortly after they first opened. The food is wonderful. Unlike many other eateries, they have not gone to cheaper ingredients since the pandemic and you can tell by how fresh and tasty everything is. The sweets are amazing and if you are gluten-free they have an increasing number of items available for you. I highly recommend the gf/v “gruffins” and the lemon squares when available are not to be missed!“

“I had a wanderful breakfast, food was excellent and the Service was very good. Definitely I'll be back.“

“Amazing communal living in a beautiful location. So blessed to live with amazing people. The landlord, Angelo Otterbein, takes great pride in securing a clean, well maintained property for all of us to enjoy! Whenever an issue arises, he's prompt in addressing and resolving. THANK YOU ANGELO! #GOODLIVING #greatlandlord #wonderfulcommuntiy“

“I love the 50's music that plays and the really nice photos on the walls. Be prepared to experience a completely different way of flavors. The menu is diverse and very interesting. This was our first time there and we have decided to make it our place to go after a DR. visit nearby. There is parking on the street as well as behind the building. We were unaware of the parking behind the building so I thought a heads up to others was needed. The menu online is the same as the actual menu. The difference is the online menu printing is extremely small. We were thoroughly impressed with Ms Shirley's Cafe. It is well worth the trip!!!!“

“Food was AMAZING, tea was super sweet, and everyone was super nice. highly reccomend and I will be back again!“

“Came here for brunch with some friends out of town and the food is so good!! Honestly it's better than Miss Shirleys but less touristy with a cute neighborhood vibe. I loved my veggie burrito and my friends loved the biscuits and gravy, and the burger. They have Zeke's coffee which is a plus.

I will be honest and say I was a little apprehensive at first, seeing the prices for what I thought was diner food. But this is so worth it! Definitely upscale, Southern inspired food. Will definitely be back“

“250828 - By the time we reached Sparks, the muffins had begun to take effect; we were low on fuel, having come off the highway, aware wet were close to ‘Empty’ in unfamiliar country. Nervously looking for a gas station, ambling along our way back to Canada after a week in the capital. Some said we were brave to visit, we never minded, soaked it all in, we were just there to check on our American cousins, see how y’all were making out in a rather turbulent time. Loved the rolling countryside and gorgeous homes in the area - hmmm…a preserve of the ‘horsie set?’ we thought. Now, even lower on fuel, we caught the sign and stopped at TFS. We surveyed the place, quirky storefront and round the back which felt surprisingly, decidedly chill. Straightaway, we struck up a conversation with a friendly physical therapist, because we’re that kind of chatty. Had a spontaneous, lovely and wide-ranging chat including the whole family. A delicious milkshake, I think a cookie, and couple washroom breaks later, our new friend sent us on our way to the Exxon down the way and a nearby turnoff to get us back en route to the north land. Felt really good to meet a kind helpful soul along the way, the kind of people we wanted to show the kids, and we somehow knew we would certainly meet on our drive into NY, PA, MD, VA, DC. Now back in the land of the silver birch, home of Lord Stanley’s sport and the ‘double-double,’ I am just reading about your late friend Rosa and how much she’d touched you all and your beloved TFS :) Nice lil place. Glad we got to stop by and say hello :) Best regards, hope to see you again“

“The food & service was excellent! My son LOVED the hot honey chicken sandwich. It actually made him dance lol! I got the vegetable soup to go for my dad & he absolutely loved it. Now he wants me to go back & buy as much as they're willing to sell me. The drinks & desserts were great too! If you're looking for a cute little breakfast or lunch place, I highly recommend. And if you like hot honey chicken, you have to try it!“

“Excellent, adorable, no-frills micro cafe within the belly of an office building. Plain and simple in a good way. Classic, homey soups + sandwiches + coffee done out of a tiny kitchen where you can watch everything being made. The service is fast too!

On a personal note, I love dressed-down places like this. I also find humor in how it’s situated within the surrounding office space. The contrast between the cuteness of the place with the stiffness of the environment just outside makes eating here a funny experience.

Excellent humble (classic) cafe food 👍
Whole place is good overall 👍
Service is fine and fast 👍
EXCELLENT value if you’re cheap like me 👍

The only improvement I could possibly imagine would be maybe a mobile app where you can pre-order for pickup without having to call on the phone. But they’re so fast anyway, I wouldn’t mind if they never do this.“

“5-stars but with caveats. The sourdough crust on the pizzas are phenomenal — structurally strong enough to support the toppings without being floppy, nice taste, simultaneously crunchy and soft — a great middle ground. For the effort they’re putting in on the crust alone, it’s a 5-star pizza. However, I tried the supreme and the chicken and felt both could use some balancing when it comes to the flavors of the toppings. I’d buy again, yes, but not in a rush.

Editing on 9/28/2026:

Visited again, this time to try their cookies. They’re totally delicious, highly recommend.“

“Usually good food, but ordered the cauliflower soup this week and it was inedible and overpowered with rosemary. Even my friend who will eat anything wouldn't eat it. I hate food waste, but there was no way I could eat more than one spoonful.“

“Delicious food Absolutely the best service The owner is personable, gracious and extremely humble“

“Love their breakfasts!!! Love that their love pups too.“

“Just stopped by Cafe Luli after visiting our local post office. Very kind and sweet staff. My latte was the perfect thing to warm and wake me up. They have delicious warm pastries ready in the mornings. I had a savory scone. Definitely recommend for these cold winter mornings 😊“

“Stopped in before some shopping. They have pumpkin bites for the fall season that are delicious. Wasn’t sure if they were going to be dry and store bought-like, but they were moist and the icing was amazing too. The coffee was good as well, nothing too crazy. Nice little sitting area inside that we enjoyed our time in before starting the day.“

“I Love this place!!!! Everything I’ve tried is delicious!!! The fresh juices , the salads and wraps are amazing. Trying an açaí bowl today and I love it too“

“On August 20, 2025, I consumed the most delectable meal I've eaten at ANY dining hall...at Newell. Apparently we got a new chef. Whoever made this food was given a divine blessing to cook. This food is heavenly. You KNOW it's good because im writing a review for a Towson dining hall.“

“My husband and I had a late breakfast at the Timonium location on December 27, 2024. Upon arrival, at almost 11:30 AM, the hostess named Samantha, was seating another group of people. We watched Samantha clean tables, set place settings, before returning and seating us. We soon took note that this very pleasant hostess/greeter was taking on several jobs: we watched her methodically bus tables, return to awaiting guests in line and proceed to repeat the same process...while also being the cashier for departing guests who were paying their bill. As more and more people arrived, we watched Samantha's professionalism never waiver. Our waitress named Kelly was also pleasant. She quickly took our order and soon returned with drinks. Not long later, another kitchen helper returned with our plates of food. I commented on how well everyone was working and gave a special appreciation to Samantha. We observed Samantha rearrange tables to accommodate groups of people while maintaining her warm smile that revealed her love for her job and customers! The food was delicious, and the service was above standard. Employees at this location really work well together but Kudos to Ms. Samantha who worked above and beyond expectations!!!“

“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.“

“Really wished this business would open again. It provided a great community service to the business park. Best food! Best prices! Best staffing of peoples with disabilities delivering phenomenal service and quality food. Please open again! I miss the fried chicken most of all!“

“That their chicken sandwich was good. I recommend that this is one of good place in chicago to eat at.👍🏾👍🏾“

“Had a pleasant experience today that required multiple staff members help. I can’t remember everyone’s name but the floor manager and Nate at the service desk were wonderful, pleasant and super easy to talk to. Highly recommend this location!“

“First time at Market Cafe Wegmans Reisterstown, plenty of food choices, freshly made sushi, well stocked bakery, hot and cold subs, pizza and so much more. Server at subs was great, excellent customer service. Plenty of tables and chairs for dine in, clean well maintained bathrooms. Helpful staff at checkout counter.
Surely, We’ll be back for more“

“Actually it was the gentile half of the hospital cafe. I was impressed with the selection and quality. Hot, tasty food done pretty quick. And the price was right. I had a Cuban sandwich and my wife had a delicious looking salad she made herself. The dining area was roomy and filled with natural light.“

“We thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast at Egg Station! The food was excellent, and the service was just as good. Deshawn was an absolute star, making sure all our needs were taken care of. I especially appreciated the extra kindness and consideration shown to me because of my disability. That kind of thoughtfulness means a great deal. Great food, great service, and a wonderful experience all around! I highly recommend giving Egg Station a try!“

“Great made from scratch foods. Lots of smiles as well.“

“Excelente servicio Agradable atención Ideal para hir con la familia“

“Great experience at Croustille Café! The omelettes were delicious, and the avocado croissant was fresh and amazing. Special shoutout to the girl with the pink hair she provided fantastic service and made us feel very welcome. Will definitely be back! 🥐🍳“
