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

“I wanna start off by saying very great customer service and very welcoming people. This is my first time I’m going to this franchise. I came on the grand opening day. It was very very busy, but for it to be a very, very busy day, they were attentive and very nice. The host does a great job and go Above and beyond to make sure my table was good The servers Very nice Yes, I waited 30 minutes for my food, but my food came out fresh hot and delicious. I would like to shout out Nae one of the host who was extremely nice and helpful the entire time. Thank you I will be back!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great service and delicious goodies !“

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

“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“

“The food was absolutely amazing I loved it so much. I would eat this every day of my life if I could. The service was incredible, we ate outside and it was a bit chilly so they turned on the heaters for us!!! Matcha was so good and burrata to die for.“

“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.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Stopped by More Than Java Café and it absolutely lived up to the name. I grabbed the Salmon Egg & Cheese sandwich, which was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly put together—definitely not your average breakfast sandwich. I paired it with the Island Paradise Smoothie, and that was a win all on its own: smooth, refreshing, and packed with tropical flavor.

The staff really made the experience even better. They were welcoming, friendly, and patient, taking the time to make sure everything was right and offering great energy from the moment I walked in. You can tell they genuinely care about both the food and the people they’re serving.

What also stood out is the variety on the menu—plenty of great options, and everything I saw coming out looked just as good as what I ordered. And if you’re planning something special, they also prepare charcuterie boards, which are perfect for events or even to share while you’re visiting the café.

Great food, great staff, and an all-around solid spot. I’ll definitely be back.“

“Always great crabs 🦀 at B&B !“

“Catalog is my favorite coffee shop/cafe in Baltimore. I come here at least once a week and I still haven’t tried all the vegan options, simply because they have so many. Catalog outshines other spots in the city. Everything is perfection: the vibe, the staff, the espresso. I could write love songs about their espresso. It’s sublime. Their nitro iced tea and vegan sandwiches are fantastic. Updated from previous review on 2026-01-05“

“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.“

“One of my favorite places on earth. Anytime I’m in town I always have to come here at least once to eat. The food is amazing, the service is always fast even when the place is packed, and I love the atmosphere. And don’t forget a slice of goat cheese cheesecake! 😋“

“I love hipster type places where the menu caters to all types of dietary restrictions. My only issue is that there was two homeless people passed out in the eating area, which kind of caught me off guard considering that a family was just eating there…. I don’t know if that is the norm, but considering it was my first time getting food from there it was off-putting. I get it’s a “cooperative” space, but they were not even moving…. Anyways the food was delicious, but I wouldn’t eat inside. The outside area is nice especially with all the puppers. Parking is nonexistent, but I found a spot two blocks a way then walked.“

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

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 😋“

“100% recommend the classes“

“If you ever try June Cafe, you will always look for its quality, professional approach, and kindness. The place where all are welcome and very well served! Soups, coffees, cakes, açai dessert and waffles are the dream! Thanks to all for treating our big family with love and kindness! Will miss June Cafe greatly! Good luck and wish all the best!“

“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.“

“A cute cafe in a very nice neighborhood. I got the egg sandwich with over easy eggs, sourdough, and pork sausage which tasted like what was in it — I wish the bread was toasted tho since it was pretty dry for me. The quesadilla was pretty good with crunchy crust and flavorful fillings. The chai was nice and warm, slightly sweet and the pomegranate lemonade was perfectly sour. We got a table outside and it was very nice. People came in and out constantly which proves that the place is pretty populate among locals.“

“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 matcha basque cheese cake was insanely good. I was visiting from NY and can’t stop thinking about it. I go out of my way whenever I can to find one and there is really no comparison. Wish they shipped its that good, light and creamy! Matcha and Hojicha lattes were awesome as well!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

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

“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!“

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

“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“

“Came for a delivery 9 am appt in a door and out in 30 mins. Was a partial load and no other trucks attempting deliveries. But I did overnight with no issue.

Blue circle was a couple spots open at night to back into.

Red circle For Panera check in is in corner of building no signs. Just a door with a doorbell. The other company that operates out the same building check in is in front of building.

Four stars because no real signage and didn’t see a bathroom. I pulled into left side coming off the road but makes sense to pull into the right side that way you don’t have to turn around once in the back but if you over night well you’ll have to spin the truck around anyways.“
