49 Best Cafes near Elkridge

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

“Just stopped in here for a bacon, egg, and cheese on a kaiser with a black coffee. Both were good. Prices were very reasonable. Left a tip because I appreciated the food and service. I'm looking forward to trying some of their Korean food next time. Their bulgogi and rice looks great.“

“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!“

“Good Afternoon,
I am in town on business and came (AGAIN) for another delicious item on the menu. EVERY time I come here, I enjoy the food. The wait time is a little frustrating but i can see why....the place is popular!! We also had our same waiter...Sumir. Amazing, he recognizes us (me and my husband) too! :)“

“This has been our go to spot for over 10 years now in Hamden! Great for comfort, food or brunch and always a fun atmosphere. The service has gotten so much better over the years and everyone there is incredibly sweet and friendly. I love that they keep good staples on the menu, but are always trying to reinvent New dishes to complement the old standbys. And even though prices have raised at most other places, this place still remains incredibly affordable.“

“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!“

“Cinnamon buns, coffee, and Main Street vibe!“

“Delicious! The food and the drinks were great. My friend got the avocado toast and I got the crepes. We will definitely be back!“

“We had a wonderful experience at this vegan café on our way to the RV show. The staff was incredibly warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The food was both delicious and unique, and the coffee was intriguingly different in a fantastic way. We’ll definitely stop by again on our way home. If you’re looking for a great experience and a friendly atmosphere, this place is a must-visit! Thank you for a great time!!“

“Delicious!! Fresh coffee and espresso, sweet treats and sandwiches! The cashier/hostess is a sweetheart! Loved her attitude! She took our order, made suggestions, and even dropped off our food. The bartista made EXCELLENT coffee. We had the Macchiato Caramello...fantastic! Very cute place! Will definitely go back.“

“just shared an amazing delicious lunch at this adorable cafe!! vegetarian lasagna and turkey meatball sub with the best handout fries!!! Definitely worth a visit!“

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

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

“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.“

“The Qabuli Rice was gently seasoned, without being overwhelming, and studded with moist tender lamb. Equally impressive were the spinach and okra dishes that were fresh, tasty, and well cooked. Along with the side salad [lemony and slightly spicy], these side dishes were competing for my attention for the above reasons and being less greasy than most places. I suggested to the owner that the side vegetables should be made into a combo dish, to which they accommodated my request. Smart decor and amiable service. Their house-made saffron ice-cream is on my next visit list.“

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

“Add this spot to your coffee/brunch rotation!!

I’ve been to this cafe a couple of times and had great food and drinks both times. Most recently I went for Saturday brunch with a friend. I should have expected it, but the line was very long. That said, the girl at the counter was working her tail off not only talking orders but also making all of the beverages for each order (including seasonal lattes). Everyone in the kitchen seemed to be working non stop, so I give them kudos for such a delicious meal.

I got The Ian (toast with smoked salmon and poached eggs) and my friend got the OG breakfast bowl. Both were delicious and we cleaned our plates. We also both got oat milk PSL’s which were flavorful and yummy.

We sat upstairs, which was a bright and had plenty of extra seating despite the downstairs being pretty packed. We sat and talked for a while, and someone came around to ask how the meal was and take our dishes, which was nice. Every staff member we interacted with was friendly and helpful.

I didn’t order any baked goods, but I did notice they have a variety of Greek sweets as well as even some vegan baked goods. They all looked incredible, and I’ll be trying something next time.“

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

“The food was great! The owner explained how he brought food recipes from Afghanistan. Two of us shared the Kabuli Gosht Palau with Kabul eggplant. We also had the pumpkin called Kabul Kaddo that comes with bread. The flavors and freshness of the food are what stand out to me. We also enjoyed the Shugufa (means flower bud in Arabic) tea. It’s a whole pot of tea with a flower in it. It had a subtle flavor and aromatic smell. We ended with an order of Baklava. Everything tastes like it’s from someone’s home and unlike anything I’ve had in a restaurant. The prices are reasonable for the quality of the food. The restaurant, though, is small. Make a reservation so you are sure to be seated. The restaurant seems to do a lot of takeout. The business also displays beautiful rugs for sale that adds to the feel of Afghanistan. For me, the experience of eating the food and drinking the tea in this sweet place was calm and comforting.“

“New in Savage Mills with a wonderful eclectic menu and Island treats... Jerk Chicken salad and Curried Chicken salads... Great choices for the adventurous palate... entertainment also offered on the weekends get you moving after a delicious meal... Ask about the healthy Treats...“

“Forget StarbucksI I love Bean Rush Cafe, this is my go-to, favorite cafe for coffee. I treat myself to a cold brew or flat white here once a week most weeks. Not only do I love their brews, but I can always count on smiles from staff and fast service. My kids love their giant freshly baked cookies. I have a gluten allergy and I'm able to get a gluten free bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich knowing they take cross-contamination seriously. I also love that Bean Rush has gluten free baked good for sale, I haven't found anywhere else locally that sells fresh brownies, mini-donuts, etc. I buy their coffee beans as well for brewing at home in between my cafe visits. And I work from here the mornings I have a block of time sans meetings (rare), love the energy. Five stars for Bean Rush Cafe!

Dietary restrictions: This is a great place to come for a gluten free bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich. Let them know you have a gluten allergy and they'll microwave your sandwich instead of toasting so you don't have cross contamination. They have oatmeal that's delicious. Baked GF treats too - brownies, lemon bars, mini donuts, rice krispie treats. Smoothies.“

“I got an espresso machine for christmas and it takes very specific beans. I was asking Kira about which bean would be best, and they were so helpful. They called the boss and got all the info I needed. I told them I didn’t want to be any trouble, but they insisted and were so accommodating.
The coffee was also bomb, and came out quickly. I got the salted caramel cold brew which I highly recommend“

“They have never disappointed! Been visiting since the 90’s! Yeah, they are that good!

Dietary restrictions: Delicious Sugar-free options

Parking: Large lot, picnic tables behind secure fence for safety.

Kid-friendliness: I’ve loved it since I was a kid, so I’d say it’s definitely kid-friendly.“

“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!“

“My favorite coffee shop / cafe in Bolton hill. The food is delicious, generous servings, & reasonably priced. The coffee is excellent. The staff is wonderful too. On a nice day I love sitting outside. 💛 thank you OTH for being such a gem in the community.“

“Amazing bagel sandwich with crisp bacon and a perfectly cooked egg with a jammy yolk. Iced coffee was fine but unmemorable. S’mores cookie is a 10/10. One star knocked off because it’s very a cramped space and layout, but understood given the building.“

“On a roll is a deli within a business office. You hang a left after going in the main doors towards the deli. The service was fast, and the food was delightful! Ate there more than once. Thursdays they do a Korean Pork Bulgogi. It is busier on Thursdays because it's popular.“

“Just delicious. First time coming here and my sandwich was soooo good, one of the best I’ve had in a while. The man taking orders was so friendly, food came out quickly and the prices were beyond reasonable. 10/10! I’m definitely going to become a regular.“

“This place is such a hidden gem. My only complaint is that it's not closer to me (which is probably a good thing). The food and drinks are phenomenal. It's evident that chef Heather takes pride in creating quality food that tastes good. It doesn't hurt that the space is beautiful and warm. Swill is quickly becoming my new favorite spot.“

“Tasty coffee and food items, the best bagels! Friendly and helpful baristas, chill vibe, & local-focused. Enjoy coming here as often as I can!“

“I happened upon Kora Lee’s tent at the flower festival in Baltimore today…what a lucky find! I had a shrimp salad wrap that was delicious and chock full of lovely, nice sized, shrimp! So often baby shrimp are used and used sparingly… This wrap was a real treat for the taste buds! The dessert outdid the shrimp wrap! I feel like real love must go into everything made here… that’s the only way to coax the flavors to meld so beautifully! I will definitely be trying the restaurant!Amy“

“The name is very literal, it is a cafeteria inside a big business / corporate building. However, it is very tidy and clean, friendly and accommodating.We came here after looking up breakfast places on Google Maps, and it was extremely affordable and delicious. A little limited on the menu, but I think that is to be expected from a cafeteria restaurant.Come with cash, otherwise expect surcharges and minimum purchases.

Parking: The parking lot is outside a corporate building without any signs saying the cafe exists inside the big building“

“The lemonade is so delicious. This place is so cute and cozy. I recommend this place“

“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“

“The house panini is avocado, roast red pepper, spinach, pesto, chipotle sauce and possibly cheese. It is gooey, bold and has a light kick of spice.

The Ruben was delicious too.

Their daily soup and daily sandwiches do sell out during the lunch rush.

They have decaf espresso!

Vegetarian options: Great veggie sandwiches, not just lettuces & tomato on bread with a spread.“

“Alhamdulillah great food for everyone amazing pizza ? biriyani and burgers

Dietary restrictions: Zabiha halal

Kid-friendliness: Gym in the facility within the Islamic Society Of Baltimore

Wheelchair accessibility: Elevator“

“Recently stopped for breakfast on the road. Delicious food and wonderful quality. For us, any pastries, croissants, or pies will now come from here. Highly recommend!“

“Great place for food, coffee, and pastry’s. All of the food we had was very tasty. We got a ham and cheese croissant and 3 lattes because they were so good. Will definitely come back if we are in the area. Check this place out is is great!“

“What a fantastic little place, and I’d never have found it if local family hadn’t suggested having lunch here. The pit turkey sandwich was so delicious, you’ll be hard put to find better than this. Plenty of nice and super clean seating upstairs, great experience all around. Definitely not my last time eating here.“

“Student run productions that are entertaining and well polished! 3-4 production a year!“

“The B&O Café provided a refreshing respite during our visit to the museum. It is located in one of the historic buildings that also houses some of the museum's educational programs and is easy to find when one visits the outdoor train garden. There is seating both inside and out, and given today's heat, we appreciated the clean and well-spaced tables inside. We were happy to learn that our purchases of drinks and fresh pastries supported the Franciscan Center Dignity Plates Culinary Training Academy and that the cheerful staff on duty would become certified as a ServSafe Food Manager after completing the 13-week course. The Chocolate Chip Brownie was heavenly, and the Cold Brew Nitro was perfect for today's weather. If we did not already have a lunch commitment, we would have tried the various soups, sandwiches, and grilled burgers sourced from local farms - something to look forward to next time.“

“Worked in adjacent building for a few years before the pandemic, and then switched jobs, and now am down the road. Starting the day with a breakfast sandwich from the Merriweather Cafe & Deli would sustain me the entire day sometimes, and the staff there are very friendly, which also adds to starting off the day nicely. I hadn't been there in a while and was glad to see they are still open. NOTE: There is no big sign on the building. There is a glass door on the first floor (by the main upper parking lot entrance) and just has a sign saying Merriweather Deli and their hours. Enjoy!

Parking: Parking in the garage is the considerate thing to do versus parking along the side of the courtyard. It isn't that much farther, and if you drive electric there are Chargepoint EV chargers there.“

“Great experience, lots of room and relaxed atmosphere“

“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!“

“we went for the first time today! we had a great experience! From the staff, to the atmosphere and food we had such a delightful breakfast. they have a little play kitchen setup. Our son played while we waited for our food. the portions are big and delicious. Such a great spot! the manager and waitress were so welcoming and friendly. we will be back!“

“When all other restaurants are closed on campus you can come to the Barnes and Noble store and get Starbuck's coffee and fair. Note- they only take Barnes and Noble gift cards, not Starbucks. In the common area area just outside the glass doors“
