50 Best Cafes near Elkridge

“Outstanding food! We go here over IHOP for breakfast now 😂 It’s better quality food and the people are so so nice! They don’t have a fantastic coffee selection, but they’ve got lots of other yummy drink options. We love coming here and are so glad for a quick, quality breakfast spot in Elkridge!!“

“We travel a lot for youth sports and breakfast is our favorite meal. We usually end up going to a different place each morning, but this cafe was delicious that we came right back. The iced coffees were tasty and the breakfast food was solid. They have classics, but then have fun specials too. We did a day of each and both were superb. The service was solid too and I’d highly recommend the place.“

“Awesome place with the best breakfast and lunch food around!!“

“The food was incredibly yummy and the service was fantastic. My son and I ate lunch and had some delicious drinks to go along with it. They have a diverse menu with lots of options. Highly recommend!“

“For a brunch spot, it’s very quaint and nice inside, the food (I had the Elvis pancakes) were good, as well as the drinks. Only two drawbacks: It can get pricey (they charge $5 extra just for 3 slices of bacon if your meal doesn’t come with it, which is wild), and the diner’s demographics aren’t really diverse. Otherwise, it’s a nice spot with the biggest perk being all day brunch.“

“I went for the first time over the weekend. The place was so clean and the employees were very friendly! I loved the options that I got to pick from that day! The store is great and I will be going back as soon as possible!“

“Me and the hubby come often on the day he is off just to get coffee I really enjoy the atmosphere and so does he we love it and it’s in walking distance from home“

“Toastique had become a go to spot for a quick / healthy lunch or business meet up“

“Good and not expensive like the food trucks that come around“

“Omg this is my second time getting the Mediterranean Market Salad and it is sooo good and 100% vegan! The only downside is that it is so small and I feel that for the price (around $17.00) it should be a little bigger. Otherwise, very delicious. Customer service was great too.“

“Cafe Columbia is a cute, colorful little cafe with delicious crepes and friendly service. Recommended.“

“Tried this place for the first time the other day and I'll definitely be back! I ordered the mushroom toast and a house drip coffee, and both were really good. The mushroom toast was delicious!!! I will be back to try the other toast options that caught my eye. I ordered online, and my order was ready right when it said it would be. The person working was also super nice and welcoming.“

“The brunch burger was juicy and perfectly cooked. The peach lemonade was refreshing and balanced. The jambalaya was packed with shrimp and sausage and honestly deserves a permanent spot on the menu.“

“Food was great, service was fast, and lots of gluten free options! We will def be back!! Thanks!“

“Great service and delicious goodies !“

“such an amazing experience, some dishes are served in a tea pot, tea and dessert are amazing. One of my favorite places to order food from and to dine in person. My favorite afghan spot in the city! they also sell rugs and tea sets which adds to the atmosphere“

“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.“

“They have the best pancakes, the best scrambled eggs, and the best maple syrup I’ve ever had at a restaurant. The bacon tastes more like bacon than any bacon I’ve had in years, idk how. The employees are so kind even close to close. I go here EVERY time I’m in town“

“Great customer service, beautiful ambience and fresh tasty food. Found this Gem on Uber Eats while at work and decided to visit it for breakfast after work. Got the steak sandwich / French toast and it was good especially me not being a meat fan, everything was fresh and flavorful. I’m looking forward to coming back to try the jerk chicken. The menu has so much variety it was hard to choose just one but that’s more reason to come back for more.“

“We love going to Bean Rush Cafe in Annapolis! Although it’s not as often as we’d like— it’s always a fun time when we do! Great location and delicious food.“

“The café is ideally located between I-95 and Highway 200, tucked within a quiet residential neighborhood and away from busy commercial areas. It’s a charming, cozy spot with an exceptionally clean interior. The pastries and coffee are delicious, and the staff is warm and welcoming. I met someone there, and it turned out to be the perfect place for a peaceful, uninterrupted conversation. I highly recommend this café.“

“I recently discovered this cute little caffe in Old Ellicott City and it quickly became a favorite! Their coffee is fantastic - Sweet & Salty iced late is my fave! The food is always fresh, good flavors and good quality. I tried a few omelets as I mostly came for breakfast and all of them were spot on. My child ordered açaí bowl and was delighted! Their homemade goat cheese cheesecake is amazing! I definitely want to come back and try their lunch menu and more desserts! Note: it can get very busy on weekends, but worth the wait.“

“Always great crabs 🦀 at B&B !“

“My boyfriend and I were looking for a new brunch and coffee spot, and The Common Ground Cafe was a nice surprise! Their coffee is unique and tasty. The breakfast sandwiches were good too. I ordered their SW sando and my boyfriend got the Hampden sandwich. The candied bacon on the Hampden was sooo good! They’re also known for their s’more’s cookie. I recommend the place!“

“Been going to Sweet 27 for probably 12 years. My grandson is 6, this is his favorite spot. Friendly staff and great food.“

“A well designed small space with an equally good ambient. Customer can have a very good view of the Hall with well maintained preparatory baking area and well displayed items. Some of the bakery items are unique with visual appeal amd taste. I have attached one photo of the item which I ordered. Even the sitting bench slopes towards the middle which is very convenient to sit and get up. Courier pickup segment seems to be well organised. Not a noisy environment. Very good place to relax and enjoy @ peace. Best wishes Rangarajan Ramaswamy May 25, 2026“

“Cute little diner. Friendly Staff. Good prices. Breakfast sandwiches were made fast and pretty tasty for how simple they were made. The fresh watermelon was cut onsite. Lots of drink options at reasonable prices. Overall a good place for a quick cheap meal and definitely better than most places around the hospital.“

“Stopped in last week and was overwhelmed with the options. I should have looked at the menu before I came in but it was a good problem to have. Very glad I found this place. Vigia was sweet, patient and a very welcoming employee at the register. I got the chicken Milano and it was 10/10. I ate it there and got a small sandwich to go (ham and Swiss) and couldn't have been happier with my early morning dining experience. The place is quiet and located in an office building. I have to try the rest of the menu..especially the bulgogi special. Whomever is behind this concept has done an excellent job and the employees are great at what they do.“

“The pit beef sandwich is excellent and fast service! I’ll be back for more!“

“A huge thank you to the folks at One World Cafe for coming to the Hopkins football tailgate crepe tent rescue. We discovered post game when it was time to start cooking for the team that we left our cooler of eggs and milk on the 7th floor of the Marriott parking garage. We had all the toppings but no crepe ingredients! Remembering all the great breakfasts I have had at One World (as a regular customer we have always received stellar service and food) I dashed across the street to see if they could spare some eggs and milk. Everyone was so friendly and kind and happy to help and saved the day with 8 eggs and a gallon of milk! Thank you so very much. Your kindness was much appreciated and helped our team celebrate our win! 5 stars for quality service and kindness and generosity as a bonus!“

“Wonderful presentation of charcuterie board. It was delicious.“

“Great chicken salad sandwich! One sandwich was enough for two meals, thanks and keep up the great work!“

“I got the Peanut butter cup latte with oatmilk - extra sweet and it was delicious 😋“

“This cafe has a really beautiful space. The decor and lighting are nice and the way the food options are arranged is also nicely thought out. I had a delicious smoothie and a very light and fluffy coffee cake. Highly recommended. This also looks like a great place to work or study.“

“Best French Toast I have ever had. The potatoes were really amazing too. I cannot recommend the French toast enough!

Our server was a one-woman show, and I believe she said she was also the owner and the cook. Truly amazing. If I am back in Baltimore, I will be back!“

“Park Avenue Cafe is a great spot for a quick and tasty breakfast or lunch. The food is well-prepared, the service is friendly, and the prices are affordable. Try their Shrimp Salad sandwich! Highly recommended for a satisfying and budget-friendly meal.“

“If you need something refreshing you should ask for the lemonade ! It was very good and the avocado toast too!
The ladies who work in the cafe are very welcoming and specifically Kendall !
You can go with your eyes closed trust me !“

“Best food on campus, breakfast and lunch. Pre-made breakfast burritos are toasty, warm, and ENORMOUS. Not for the faint of heart (me) unless you want to be sent into a food coma (which I was) and sleep through your afternoon class (worth it). Don't even get me started on the sandwiches at lunch. I get an egg salad sandwich (hummus if they're out of egg salad) on toasted rye with all the fixings -- and I mean ALL of them. You can get a mile-high stacker that's caving in on itself for a single meal swipe here. What do you get at Chick-fil-a? A single piece of chicken on soggy bread. The service here at the Coffee Shop is amazing, too. Workers are super nice and fun to chat with. If you've just finished working out at the RAC, swing in here to cancel out all those calories you burned because you earned it, champ.

Vegetarian options: Good stuff“

“I stopped today for the first time and I will definitely be back! I got a snickerdoodle latte, chocolate croissant, and some sort of caramel apple pastry. All three were SO GOOD! The chocolate croissant was so flaky and buttery! Highly recommend! Plus the lady running the cafe was so sweet and friendly!“

“Atwater's is my favorite place for many reasons. Comfortable community atmosphere, enjoyable food and drink, and great staff. In 6 years I've seen Atwater's with a great track record for hiring and training members of its team. But I'd like to credit two in particular today. Joey, the new manager settled into his role quickly just this year and is very engaging, friendly, and happy to help customers directly alongside his team. Alyssa is another fantastic worker and leader in the team. Always paying attention and focused on keeping everything in order and working efficiently. The whole team performs well. But she routinely performs above the standard.“

“my husband and I went there on May 24th and you had to go to the register and place your own order and pay prior to receiving your food. needless to say we did not leave a tip at that point. we both ordered the cream chipped beef with toast and my husband also ordered the sausage gravy with biscuits. not sure what kind of herbs they put in the cream chip beef but it was not very good at all plus they also added so much pepper it was almost inedible we ate what we could and left promptly afterwards needless to say we will probably not be going back for a while maybe they can get things right but that was the worst breakfast I have had in such a long time and I was very disappointed I almost think that they did it that way because we did not leave a tip.“

“Artifact is a cozy coffeehouse with such a fantastic vibe. It is also a fabulous spot for an intimate wedding reception.“

“You don’t expect an amazing experience at a museum cafe, but we got one. Danny was amazing, she made each sandwich extra custom for each us with dietary restrictions and even helped my picky kiddos find some good food to eat. 10/5, extraordinary service when you least expect it is a beautiful thing.“

“The jitter machine is awesome and the place has a very cool layout“

“We came in on a whim & so glad we did. We were seated immediately & greeted warmly by an amazing waitress. Food was brought out quickly & was such a good serving size. Delicious eggs Benedict & the hollindaise was amazing! My fiancé had the biscuits & gravy & was so happy with his food. Excellent portions & such a wonderful place. Can’t wait to come back again!! Highly recommend!!“

“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 have wonderful sandwiches!!! Everything is fresh and so delicious. l low their rare roast beef and their Friday salmon sandwich special.. Their breakfast sandwiches are always a great way to begin the day!“

“This is my new favorite place to eat in Ellicott City! First of all the food is incredible. The garlic sauce we ordered as an appetizer alone would have satisfied me but the food just keep getting better. So fresh and so flavorful!! The owner introduced himself and made us feel so welcome. Their story is incredible! The ambiance was absolutely lovely. They had live musicians who were extremely talented and added a tone that was fun and enjoyable but not at all overwhelming or too loud. The service was impeccable. I cannot recommend enough! We will definitely be going back very soon!“

“me encanto el sándwich y la sopa y el personal muy amable“
