42 Best Cafes near Fort Meade

“Had fun! I came before and had a good time“

“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.“

“My wife and I visit regularly. We've never had a bad Café Miel. The friendly and welcoming atmosphere has been home to many wonderful conversations. We enjoy the food as well. Highly recommend!“

“Great service and delicious goodies !“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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 !“

“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.“

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

“Me and a girlfriend of mine went there to grab some breakfast..I ordered a turkey bacon and egg and cheese sandwich on wheat bread and my girlfriend had a pancake platter turkey bacon the food was delicious and fresh we both were satisfied with our food the staff was nice and the place was nice and clean 😋 we will be back soon..oh and the salted caramel cookie was fresh and delicious also...“

“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.“

“100% recommend the classes“

“I just stopped by to pick up an online order while on a walk with my new 6 month old puppy.
She's kinda nervous and doesn't like going through doors she's unfamiliar with rn so I was struggling to bring her inside.
I wanted to leave this review to specifically thank the manager (I think his name is Tyler? Tall guy, big beard usually wears the red grumps shirt) who saw that I was struggling and came over to the door, got my name and brought me my order outside. He was so kind and said hi to my dog, pet her and we talked about how he had a few dogs of his own.

Just wanted to shout out what a kind gesture this was and I really appreciated it. Don't know what this guy makes but he should get a raise for sure. I always see him when I'm there taking care of everything and everyone, customers and fellow coworkers alike.“

“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!“

“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“

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

“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.“

“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“

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

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

“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!“

“Honestly, I feel safe at this bar. Both me and my husband frequent this bar at least once or twice a week due to us living close. There is plenty of bar space and they serve food late. You can also watch the games there on game days. I go with the cheeseburger every time and it does not disappoint. The drinks or hit or miss and very limited but if you go for a straight drink like jack & coke you can't mess that up.“

“Love the initiative. Our country needs this; we as a people and culture need foundational co-ops who educate“

“Love the Mediterranean Veggie sandwich!😋“

“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.“

“Clean facility Great sandwiches Friendly staff“

“I got the lobster roll and French onion soup. The lobster was great, the bun was not fresh so it began to crumble and fall apart. It then required a fork in order to eat it.
I have had their French onion soup too many times to count. On this visit they hardly put any cheese on top. Just a little disappointing when you are already used to something.
The story soda was out of syrup. Ugh, that first drink was nasty.
The green tea drink that they have in the clear dispenser looked like a dirty fish tank.“

“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!!“

“My experience here has been by far amazing from the support of the advisors and most professor’s! From flexible house and even weekend classes to accommodate your everyday life. They have writing centers and tutoring available for those who need extra support. This is my second year here and I’ve been thriving, learning and excelling. Just about everyone here has been helpful and supportive. Students treat each other like family working together to over exceed expectations. There are 2 professors who have left everlasting impressions on me both positive and negative. If you’re taking math i strongly suggest MARTHA WHITTY she is by far thee best Professor in the math department. Her way of teaching has been welcoming as she takes her time to helps students gain a better understanding! She has taught me both math 081 & 082 and gave me a significant amount of confidence! Next up statistics! Thanks Ms.Whitty! On another note my experience in English 101 with JOHN CESTONE WAS LITERALLY A NIGHTMARE DONT take my word for it look him up on rate my professor! THE EPITOME OF AN ARROGANT NARCISSIST WHO BELITTLES AND OBLITERATES HIS STUDENTS EVERY TOPIC HE SPEAKS ON NON RELATED TO RACE HE FINDS A WAY TO MAKE RACE RELEVANT. Utterly disgusting brags about his life and accomplishments, hates to repeat himself! RUN QUICK DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS with him, he started out with 14 and ended with 5! NOT ONE PERSON CARED FOR HIM. I don’t understand how he’s still able to teach! CCBC OVERALL IS AN AWESOME LEARNING ENVIRONMENT 5 STARS“

“I used to get food from their Charter Drive location all the time, and when it closed I was so disappointed , until I found them again at Lakeside Deli! I’m so happy I can start my day with their breakfast again. They even know my order as soon as I call in, which makes it feel so personal. The food is always great, and the team is incredibly friendly. So glad I found them again! So convenient also!“

“The Nordstrom Cafe has the absolute best service! The entire staff is always friendly, accommodating and the food is always fresh & taste amazing! I can’t say enough good things about this place. Always a great experience! 5/5 stars! ?“

“I eat here frequently since it’s conveniently located near my office. The staff is always friendly, the prices are fair, and the food consistently tastes great. I make an effort to support local sandwich shops and delis whenever I can, and I hope others choose to do the same.“

“We had the most amazing experience thanks to our waitress, Lauren! From the moment we sat down, she went above and beyond to make both my husband and me feel so cared for — especially as a pregnant guest, that meant everything. Lauren was attentive without being overbearing, incredibly kind, and always one step ahead of what we needed. She checked in often, made sure my cravings were satisfied, and added thoughtful little touches that made our meal feel extra special.

It’s rare to find service that feels so genuine and personal. Lauren truly made our night memorable, and we left feeling grateful and happy. If you’re lucky enough to have her as your server, you’re in for a wonderful experience. We’ll definitely be back!“

“After living in Germany for several years, it is fantastic to have this quality of baking and service here in Frederick Maryland.“

“Went with my mom & adult son after shopping. We like the atmosphere and food - it has been a few years since we ate here and it is still good. Fresh salads, flavorful quiche, nice soups & drinks. I wish they still had their bread, butter & jelly readily available, you can still get it, but they just give you a piece or two. I think covid shut that down. Their baked deserts are really good!“

“Delicious sandwiches!! Amazing soups!! Great location 👌“

“I gave four starts because I frequent this location often and I’m usually content with my experience. Even when my order was wrong the manager corrected the issue with professionalism . Today, however; 2/3/2026, the female at the drive thru window in the morning had a nasty attitude, like for what? Did anyone tell her if she didn’t want to be there she could go home. Being like that while at the drive thru window is crazyyy. Hopefully someone can have a conversation with her because being greeted and talked to like she did is uncalled for.“

“My 6 yo says this place gets 5 stars because of the honey chicken, noodles, and rice.

My thoughts : it's comfort food, simple, and filling. Erroneously labeled "mall Chinese" in my household, we keep coming back. If only the mall stayed open past 8pm.“

“I enjoyed the bacon and miss Shirley’s crush cocktail! Pancakes were decent but nothing too crazy. The day I was there service was pretty slow (there was only one server and it was a busy day, but she was doing her best!) and I thought an hour for my flight was enough time but I’d recommend giving yourself 1.5 hours or a little bit more“
